A world without smiling faces isn't a world worth living in.

oh I'm sorry, I didn't know we were surgically sewing your mouth shut.
Oh wait, I'm sorry, I forgot
you can take off masks at home stop making idiotic phrases

Also smiles aren't just the lips, you can still tell if someone is smiling by eyebrows.

Gee, if only there were some way to see a person's smiling face from a distance, without any possibility of infecting them with a nasty virus...

Nah, such an invention will probably never come about in our lifetime.

Oh I guess images rapidly passing by through packets of data streaming from one device with a webcam to another device with a webcam is impossible

Oh let me, guess, skype or discord or insert thing here isn't good enough for you either and then your going to move that conversation.

"Remember, you're wearing a mask, which is intimidating."
Huh. Interesting. A world with a mask mandate is scarier.

I'm sorry, I didn't know it was malicious to say that. Perhaps I flipped a lid because we are still FUCKING HAVING AN ARGUMENT ABOUT MASKS ALMOST 11 MONTHS INTO THE FUCKING PANDEMIC.
Those morons who seriously think masks won't help, I encourage them to play with that fire, see where it gets them. It's only malicious to specifically to those who are willfully ignorant causing others to suffer. If it requires them to touch the damn fire to figure out that they REALLY should be wearing masks, then I go full on ahead and say let them do it. Let them hurt themselves because I'm done with this bullshit.

Most countries have got back to normal. And by that I mean stopped the pandemic in there area. Meanwhile here we are fucking still having it.

I don't see it ending anytime soon. There maybe a vaccine and these types of differences will remain. Playing with fire, maybe. But to encourage more recklessness--where is the value in that?

Nope. It's gotta be real.

Value is that anti maskers will want to reconsider their position if another situation like this arises. Since they'll have experienced themselves what it's like to not wear a mask and get the full effect of a near lethal airborne virus

They are actual smiles. They are people you know, smiling in that moment. But keep moving those goalposts, I'm sure eventually you'll circle the globe.

Of course I could also go completely merciless and state that it would kill all the morons. But that would be even too cruel for my liking.

What he really means when he says that is, "other people should die for my comfort and convenience." He's a kid, the world still revolves around him.

 

[Deleted User]

My point being @tabzer
I've tried so much effort into explaining why you should wear a mask, and why it's not unconstitutional and so on. And when you put all that effort and the other side doesn't budge, you eventually say fuck it.

No cost is too great for individual liberty.

 

[Xzi]

No cost is too great for individual liberty.

So I was right on the money. Again, the problem remains: that would make you a criminal the second you infringe on someone else's liberty, aka their right to good health and well-being. You aren't the only individual being referred to by the phrase, "individual liberty." Masks function by protecting those around the wearer more than the wearer themselves, so in order to preserve as many individual liberties as possible through the rest of this hellish year, we ALL have to wear masks so we are ALL protected. Otherwise there will be more restrictions (again), and you'll get all pissy about it (again), but ultimately there will be nothing you can change about the situation.
