For my benefit. Of course .. As have I. Still wearing a mask though. Especially in a private business who mandate it. If you don't like it, shop elsewhere. Does the thought of not wearing sneakers to a nightclub which clearly states 'no sneakers' make you livid? Or would you just accept it's their business and they can choose to implement whichever rules they choose?

Dante_Lockhart Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The world will now forever be divided, regardless of COVID disappearing, about wearing a mask or not wearing a mask. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground now. People are either "Just wear a mask mate, it's only a mask lol" or "I don't have to wear one so I'm not going to wear one" Stop the world, I want to get off.

It's barely news. Cases are high but not going our of control. Deaths are stable. Patients in his hospital stable. Ventilators. Stable. We're all jabbed. Most people getting ill are severely vulnerable or not jabbed. When does it end!?! So what if you’ve been doing it for 2 years? We all have and to be honest, this could be a way of life now. Deaths stable? What does this even mean? An acceptable level of people dying? Be nice if we can have the death rate at zero don’t you think? Have you that thought an old vulnerable person may have no choice but to use their local supermarket to get their shopping and if people like you pass something on and cause them to be hospitalised and potentially die, does that not bother you? For the sake of wearing a mask for probably 10 or 15 minutes, it’s hardly an inconvenience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that I had already started my journey this morning when I realised I had fogotten my mask, and it was only after I had retrieved it, that I remembered, that the Sepreme Leader had spoken. Your post actually illustrates why I have conformed to the social pressures - I thought the inconvenience was a better option to the rage you are feeling, and expressed so well. I would rather put up with the mild discomfort of wearing a mask, than ruining my day, as I rage about the disapproval of those who see it as their right to dictate my behaviour.

Surely you're not suggesting that you did so simply because the government told you to and not because you considered how your actions might affect other people's lives?

Even if it feels a bit pointless when I’ve just had covid a couple of weeks ago, and it all feels a bit arbitrary, I still wear one to the shops. Just not to be that guy, if for no other reason.

Demitri_C Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Its up to him if he doesnt want to wear leave him to it-its not required by law. So he is entitled to not wear it if he doesnt want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are entitled to look at people who purposefully do not wear a mask on establishments that explicitly ask them to for the safety of staff and other customers as selfish. Particularly if it's worn as a badge of pride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old and vulnerable people die every single year from viruses. They've been jabbed 3 times now and we've isolated and protected for 2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Im not ignoring anyone ? Not sure what your on about And just respond to the point, its not mandatory in any store as it stands. The law currently states they can ask but cant force you to wear one. They can try deny him entry but legally they cant make him There is exceptions of course like health care settings and i think on tube and buses. But not if you wanted to go somewhere like river island for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
