Man. You must be drowning in that Kool Aid. Lol
Nope. Just drowning in facts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/X56rQkDgd0qqB7R68t6t7C/seven-things-you-need-to-know-about-antifa

"Their"???,
Who in hell are you talking about?
Just like the orange dip$#@ you are lumping people into some weird "antifa" made up group.
That's lunacy. That is what a cult does.
There is no organized "antifa". It only exists in the pointy little heads of Trumptards.
In the meantime, an organized secret police under Barr and Trump have been taking protesters off the street. Probably violating laws by doing so. Now, THAT is facism.
You think Antifa just started during the Trump administration? Lol.

A quick search uncovers a number of posters in this thread using the word "libtard" over the years and unchallenged. Hmm.
This thread hasn't been around for years.....only seems like it. Name-calling is a good way to instantly discredit any point you may have....both sides. In my opinion one side is more prone to defaulting to the practice than the other, but that's probably besides the point. When I see someone use the word "libtard" I just roll my eyes because it just reinforces the stereotype of the right and /or Trump supporters that the media so desperately wants you to believe applies to everyone in those categories.

Funny how I'm singled out for this use of Trumptard.
Hmmm..
I guess "libtard" is just fine with you. Never saw a complaint about that.
Selective in your outrage, aren't you? Well, that is the Trumptard way.
Lol.
Actually most people have an issue with using the word "retard" or any abbreviated form of it (and have for the last 30+ years). That goes for many people on the right and left. It is just as offensive to someone that is developmentally challenged (and their parents) as a racial slur is. Try to show a little more maturity in your conversation.

Hey look, Oxbow crapped on another thread with politics.
Talking out of your rear again.....because it's almost all political at this point. Don't be a hypocrite and try to make it sound otherwise. At least Oxbow helps put the Covid, and in this case the double standards that exist when it comes to media reporting crime, into perspective for people like yourself that aren't equipped to do so.

This is the problem. ANYTIME a cop presses his body weighted knee into someone's neck while he's screaming out "I can't breathe" for 8 MINUTES it's wrong. PERIOD! This wasn't a situation where a guy was shooting people in the street and had to be detained by any means - that's fine. Find some weirdo white guy who shoots up a school and kills people. PRESS YOUR KNEE ON HIS NECK ALL DAY! I don't care. Floyd was ACCUSED of passing a fake $20 bill...not even verified if it actually was fake and Chauvin did that to him. Do think he would have done that to stupid white kid accused of the same? Hell NO! He's a f*cking racist.
There's no evidence the kids that shot DiLorenzo did so because he was white - that's the difference. And that's not to excuse them because street criminals who murder should go to jail for a long time too. I'm just saying a lot of people who are "pretending" to share condolences here where calling for DiLorenzo's head before he resigned. You know who you are...
Typical emotional response dodging the question when things get inconvenient. Deep down, if you are assuming that Chauvin 100% only did what he did because Floyd is black......do you honestly believe that Dilorenzo and his wife being old and white played no role in 2 black teenagers picking them as marks?

and your point by pointing out the suspects are black is.....? It's called street crime. Happens by and TO people all over the US every day - opportunity - a old couple walking early in the morning. An easy pick but something went south and he was shot. Very sad - too bad ALSO he was basically run out of UND. Way to go haters - happy now?
It's called retirement. He was 60+ years old, did you expect him to work forever?

I dunno.....for some reason it mattered and was very well publicized that the cop that killed George Floyd was white....but when two black people kill a white guy the races of the offender are sanitized. Just wondering why there isn't any consistency?

Local radio in GF last night stated juveniles were "black males".
Totally senseless and tragic.
And doesn't fit the narrative so you'll never hear anything more about it unless you go out looking for updates. White guy that got an education, followed the rules and wasn't constantly breaking the law or hurting people, finally hits the finish line only to be snuffed out by two teenagers in an inner city weeks later.

Very sad. Another reminder of why it's important to enjoy the ride and not just the finish line goal.
You never know when your number will get called.

Huh? I'll quote mikejm here, "Don't impose your droplets on me". It doesn't mean I'm asking you to take care of me. I'm asking for some common courtesy. Are you so reckless with your other decisions? Do you speed often? Drink and drive? Please just make the right decisions, they do affect others.
The second you step outside of your house you've made the decision to breath the same air (and droplets) as the public. No one is imposing it on you.
And yet another ridiculous comparison by you trying to compare not wearing a mask to intentionally commiting a crime......but I suppose with the way the media is running with this just give it time and anything is possible.

Straw man.
Two things can be true at once. The virus is serious(so is influenza and many others) and at the same time we are blowing it way out of proportion in our country.
Mic drop. Close the thread.

Don't impose your respiratory droplets on me.
If you are scared you are free to wear a mask, avoid crowds/social distance, or just stay inside a bunker for the rest of your life. YOU can control that.

One could argue that those going into public or to gatherings without a mask are also not capable of taking care of themselves or others.
So now you don't just want government but you want me to take care of you because you can't? Do you want me to balance your checkbook for you? Do you want me to show up at your house when it starts raining and remind you that you should roll up your car windows? When you crack a beer should I have to come over and tell you to not consume more than 3 or else it's considered binge? Geez listen to yourself!
I'm not overly worried...most people aren't. I am at minimal risk as are many others. I've made the decision to enjoy life instead of living scared. You don't have to agree with me....you can take more precautions than me...that's your right. But don't try impose your fear on me. It's not that hard.

Is altru selfish for requiring all employees, patients, and visitors to wear masks? Sanford? Mayo?
Sorry bro but the selfish are the ones who claim it’s their civil liberty to be in public with no mask. It’s a form of entitlement and privilege, you should understand that right?
Hospitals and long term care facilities are a different deal.....because many of the people there aren't able to protect/take precautions themselves. If they were fully able to care for themselves and/or make their own decisions by definition they wouldn't be in either of those places.
Try again.

Oh you got me I’m selfish. Just like every hospital system out there too?
Yes you are. I think we had a break through today.
The same hospital systems that allegedly were so full that Navy medical ships were needed......stadiums like the Fargodome were getting equipped with beds.....and campus dorms were considered being used as makeshift hospitals? Those same hospital systems? I never heard what came of all of that, did you?

Just now, Redneksioux said:The only type that I would trust to protect the one wearing.
Now we are drilling down to the problem. So what you are saying is that in order for YOU to feel safe, you expect product A. If YOU can't get product A, everyone else should have to acquiesce to your fears whether your fears are justified or not, even if they don't share the same fears/beliefs?
Remind me.......which side of the masks vs no masks are the selfish ones?

Yeah we could do that if we had the ppe. Anyone know where I can buy some n95 masks?
So N95 masks are the only types that work?

Serious answer. I've been very aware of the risks prior to March as I have a couple immunocompromised individuals in my family. Now that our country is losing roughly 1,000 lives/day to a novel virus that we have no idea of long term side effects, sure my concern has grown.
Same here. Have immunocompromised people in my family too. The reality is that the condition that causes them to be immunocompromised in the first place is multiple times more likely to negatively affect their lives than whatever the latest virus is that SE Asia has slung across the ocean every couple years. I'm capable of making informed decisions regarding the risks we are willing and not willing to take. Unfortunately others are apparently not so capable so they want to impose their misery on others

So how would personal responsibility apply to the thousands of asymptomatic covid carriers today?
Personal responsibility would be those that are vulnerable, or just freaked out by the media, having the burden on them to wear the appropriate protective mask/accessories if they chose to partake in public activities (which is a voluntary activity). It's really not that hard of a concept. Much easier than draconian threats for every single person to wear a mask 24/7.

No but HIV wasn’t spread through the air. Did he not recommend protected sex? Was there a group of right wingers promoting unprotected sex and sharing needles?
Another weak example. I believe that the right wingers response was that those that were affected or could easily be affected should take precautions.....i.e. personal responsibility.....look up the concept. There weren't mandates flying around that even people at no risk (husband and wife for example) had to wear rubbers when they got it on.

No, no, no. What would have been best is to make EVERYONE lock down and shutter their businesses to stop the spread.
Yep. You know it sounds ridiculous when you say it out loud.....but that is exactly what is happening. Amazing the number of people that can't take a step back and see the craziness of it all.

Back in the 80s wasn’t there a handful that called HIV “the gay cancer”? Pretty in line with our president calling covid the “wuhan flu” no? I don’t recall masses of right wingers fighting for their right to spread HIV though.
and we were reporting covid deaths through the CDC just like we were reporting flu deaths, until the White House made moves to make the covid counts less transparent, so there’s that!
If anyone that tested positive for HIV would have been placed in a quarantine until a vaccine was found we could have stopped the spread of that virus right?
