    As I recall from years ago, when I got a traffic ticket, it referred to violation of a specific law or city ordinance. And, as I recall, there was a number associated with the violation, like "violation of #138 speeding" -- something like that.

    So, when the governor or mayor states it is "mandatory" to wear a mask, then exactly what law or city ordinance is being violated? I suppose there might be an emergency clause in a policy, but the on-again-off-again is confusing. And, the sheriff's office refusing to enforce makes sense.

      Now you're in conspiracy theory territory.

      And once again, for the people who didn't read it the first 5000 times, the mask reduces your chance of spreading it, it doesn't stop you getting it.

      I was only joking

              The left has been planting crazy ideas into normal people's heads since before it was cool to plant crazy ideas into normal people's heads.

                I think it's a real shame people feel the need to politicize bullshit in this way. Bullshit should transcend politics.

                Having said that, most of the cretins saying that masks infringe their liberty aren't lefties. The lefties are the ones who wear masks to a riot.

                They're all self-absorbed fucking douchebags in my far from humble opinion.

                  I happen to think it's for the best if the government mandates mask wearing and uses its violence monopoly to enforce that, but that sort of thing is easily and blatantly a grey area for those who care to give it some thought.

                    Anybody who complains that wearing a mask stops them from being able to breathe gets their neck knelt on by a copper for thirty seconds so that they know what it really feels like?

                    They'd also get a better appreciation of actual tyranny, as opposed to a rule they don't like.

                      But as you previously explained, a mask doesn't protect me from you, it only protects you from me. Which means that if I've tested negative and am there for no risk to you, I have allowed you to bully me into conforming to your fears at the expense of my own Constitutional rights.

                          It's a minor inconvenience, and thousands of people are dying.

                          The real question is 'how much of a dick do you want to be?'

                          And I'm not even saying people need to wear a mask at all times. Just follow the guidelines.

                              Most people already do, often multiple layers of such. Varieties include panties, underwear, boxers, shorts, pants, pantaloons, skirts, gowns, etc.

                                Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that is a great reason.

                                That reason is never ever going away. Never.

                                Thousands will always be dying from communicable disease.

                                So, if that is a great reason for everyone to always wear a mask, we will never again do anything in public without a mask.

                                    Aside from the non-stop insults

                                    When does it end?

                                    What is the goal?

                                      We all have different goals. Mine is to avoid contracting Covid-19 from some stupid fuck who refuses to wear a mask because it would somehow affect his liberty.

                                          Catching Covid won't be fun, however I get it, but to get it from some loser who actually thinks that wearing masks to prevent the spread of what he considers a made-up disease are what defines fascism would be too much to bear.

                                          I would rather Bill Gates personally inject me with his nanobots.
