But, you do?

Tell me where it says for any single mask currently on market available to general public that says it's government approved to help with infectious diseases?

Here is your answer: many things annoy me. What annoys me personally plays no role in my personal voting decisions. Let me ask again, how is what annoys me personally relevant to anti-mask being a single-issue for voting? I answered your question, now will you answer mine?

Well, whatever annoys you, is trivial and doesn't matter, and you should be made to endure those things whether you like them or not.

How about banging on pots and pans at 3am, right next to your head? Has your life been so easy that you can't take a little annoyance?

I agree what annoys me does not matter when it comes to voting, as well as when it comes to other people making decisions. Again, what does that have to do with the topic of this post?

This is a matter of public health, whether or not masks 'annoy me' is irrelevant. Most adults are mature enough to put minor inconveniences aside to help protect other people. Wearing a mask protects other people. Banging pots and pans at 3am does not.

Woah hey, easy EASY there. You're being rational, we can't have that here. Sorry everybody I think this person meant to say:


"Wearing a cloth mask to help protect other people is oppressive."

Two things. First, don't quote me and make up what I said inside, second, respond without logical fallacies. Reductio ad absurdum was the one you just used.

Of all the things in the world to get upset about, wearing a mask seems pretty petty to me.

It’s not killing you.
