I disagree. People that don't pay taxes have no say.

I pay super-high taxes.

Mask wearer, but no choice as they are mandatory in Maryland.

I'm a registered Democrat but leaning in the other direction more and more.

I don't' wish to be responsible for someone else getting sick in the event I might be Asymptomatic, I wear a mask while in public.
I voted for Trump and will again.

In my area, all stores require face masks. Bay Area California had a lot of card before things got under control.

I wear it because I'm not a jackass with something to prove. If I can prevent myself from getting it out be considerate of others' risk for getting it from me, it's a small temporary adjustment to make.

If masks work, why are we staying 6 feet away?

If masks work, why did we ever shut down?

Obviously there is onky one way to combat this virus. You either have to stay six feet away from someone or you have to wear a mask. You figured it out. You can't do both



Except sometimes it is impolssible to stay six feet away from other people. Also, if I wear a mask and masks don't really work, then I wore a mask for no reason. But if I don't wear a mask and infect other people, then I was wrong and also possibly had a role in folks getting sick or dying. Not a chance I am willing to take.

That person is sending the message he doesn't give a rat's behind about whether or not YOU and yours get sick and possibly die from his germs.

Those who don't wear masks are ignorant, uninformed, irresponsible, and immature - not to mention dangerous to others.

But karma does have a way of fixing that...........
Hold on now......stop the load! You mean to tell me the doomsday props that you've been wearing aren't protecting you? If those props were actually protecting you, then you shouldn't give a rat's behind that others aren't wearing them like you. Your safe and sound tucked away behind all of your doomsday props.

Exactly. Plus, a member posted on this thread that me not wearing a mask is causing them to be in danger for getting coronavirus, yet this same member states that they wear the mask and possibly the other doomsday prop ensemble for protection. If their doomsday props that they are wearing actually work, they then shouldn't have to worry about catching coronavirus from me for not engaging in donning doomsday props.

Question; do you also see condoms as pointless?
Actually all the condoms I've ever used do come to a point, at the very end. So no, they are not pointless.

I am registered Independant and don't get much more specific about classifying my political views apart from moderate anti-authoritarian.

I wear a mask.

Not because I am told to, but because it seems like a rational thing to do given the utter lack of certainty surrounding the virus.
