Last night I was at a 200-person orgy and there was this one lady not wearing a mask.....

 

oh, wait.......let me start over.

 

So my friend was at this........

That was Johnny, dresses as a lady.

It is not so much about science. It is a dress code that others expect from you showing them that you care (too). It is not only health but also politeness. 

 

Surely it's ONLY the science that matters? That's supposedly what's going to save us.

 

Not having to wear some uniform like you're a schoolkid still.

I can’t believe people still don’t quite understand this.......   (as above).

 

Masks are more effective when the ‘sick person’ wears it, the mask prevents the expulsion of ‘most of the’ aerosol from a sick person coughing, sneezing, breathing heavily.

 

 

 

 

 

So provided iam not snezing and coughing it makes no difference if I wear one or not then.

and then there's those nincompoops who are inside the shopping plaza... with a mask on their head... be that: under nose, under chin, hanging off one ear...

 - yeah fair enough if they are eating/drinking something; but it is those who have it somewhere useless on their head that boasts back to the 'Official' that they have a mask exemption!!  

 

 - que??     

(why have a mask on your head at all/ if you are exempted from wearing one)  

So put mask on, enter mall,

5 minutes later, sitting with group of friends, eating and drinking without masks for around 1 hour

Put mask on, exit mall

Makes sense ??

Incorrect. Do you not breath? Do you not talk? 

[from the home of CC]

I've told them how selfish they are and they've complied and even apologized -  though I imagine they return to their idiocy the moment I've left. Unfortunately only death from a virus can cure some stupidity..

[MrJ2U]

Definitely not worth a confrontation.

If the establishment isn't asking them to put a shirt on then move on to the next Lady boy bar.

There are morons everywhere - where a mask or stay in your house - it's simple.

So is spelling “wear” but maybe not everyone is as intelligent as you calling people moronic.

Why worry it's not your problem, just keep a safe 2 or 3 metre distance .

For some people, particularly foreigners, everything is their problem. If they couldn’t whinge about lack of mask wearing they would find something else. If you want proof TV provides it daily. 
 

Being a perfect specimen and being able to find fault in something or someone helps gives them a purpose in life.

What a great thread !!  Always nice to have something to wake us old guys up.

Hey,  let me tell you what i do.   Every time i go to the bank or some office nobody is wearing a mask.   But when i enter they put one on.   Then I stand at the door for about ten minutes.

Come in ,   Come in,   they say.   What do you want? 

Well, I explain that since they have all been breathing... and exhaling... and god only knows how many big bad covid droplets are floating around...   I am waiting the CDC required time of ten minutes for them all to go out .

They always get mad and tell me to close the door !

Singaporeans were trained by their government decades ago to follow the law. I well remember flying through Singapore many years ago, and having hair cut by immigration officials before allowing me to enter as it was below my collar, and chewing gum was banned, that was confiscated as well.

An obedient and compliant population

Ah, yes a very old question ... what, as a society, do we accept in the name of living in peace and with justice acceptable to the vast majority of us? Polio shots and on sugar cubes when I was in school (although this was my parents decision). A US Draft law when I graduated from high school, some refused by going to Canada or jail (Muhammed Ali).. Then there is that tax thingy. Walt Whitman and others, for stated reasons, refused to pay and went to jail. For me, I am a reasonable, educated individual ... make the case as to the need for the benefit of the mass majority. On the other hand, as a matter of social control, as currently being practiced in the Peoples Republic of China, and I would be breaking laws without question. Hell, I have already found myself in Facebook jail for challenging US copyright law (in addition to government control there is corporate promoted law). This is presented only as a matter of consideration.

I had an interesting encounter the other day, I got into a lift with a guy, I had a mask on, other guy in the lift had it on his chin.. The guy insisted on telling me that the mask does nothing etc.

 

My response was to thank the guy for understanding, I explained that I actually have covid at the moment and having trouble breathing, so very much appreciate being able to remove my mask.

I remove the mask.

The guys mask went straight on, he backed away and literally stop breathing until we reached his floor, and exited the lift very quickly.

Absolutely brilliant! I love it.

Good job.

[rabang]

Some people just love to panic and mind others' business. I am sure they will find something else to bother about if the masks go off some day.

 They deserve a punch in the face.  But, to most people physical violence is not acceptable.

i don't understand your comment, but it's a comment on a joke.

Irony:
 

Today I had to do some business with my Thai gf.   One lady (out of four) is very concerned about me and COVID.   Asking 1000s of questions about what I was doing months ago.....soo strange. it was slightly insulting, but there was an error on one of our forms so maybe that triggered something (wrong date).  

 

She was NOT wearing a mask, I was.

 

An hour into the conversation she left and came back with two masks on.  lol

 

I'll never really understand anything.....lol

They say constant pain like that can drive a person insane.

Now I believe it. Does it also turn skin orange?

Did you apologise to him for your ignoring the current Covid regulations by not isolating when you know you are infected?

You do realise I dont actually have covid, I just took the opportunity to throw it back at an anti-mask nutter, who was trying to confront me for wearing a mask.

Judging by the look on his face, I think he may now be a convert
