Ever hear of noblesse oblige

It is the silly idea that the 'superior' in our midst must do things to help or protect the 'inferiors' in out midst. Thus we have silly things like lockdowns and mandatory masks to keep the 'inferiors' safe from their own ignorance. Of course the big problem is the actual inferiors trying to tell everyone else to wear masks or go into lockdown because said inferior thinks he or she understands 'science' better than others. What tommy rot. The science is by no means clear on how the virus even spreads. What we do know is if the virus was the size of a car the highway it would be driving on (the holes in a surgical mask) would be 50 lanes wide. Oh but don't worry at least the mask will keep your snot against your face.

See the thing is if you could all just go somewhere else then it wouldnt be a problem. You could run your society however you want and all the rational people could run their society how they want.

I mean you would all be dead within a decade or two from plague, mass self-poisoning, and darwinian marathons, but that would be your own faults. And you all get to go to heaven right? So no big deal anyhow. It'd be a win win.


But this is not a perfect world where everyone gets to suffer the consequences of their own ignorance in an insulated manner. Unfortunately, you being a fool can affect a lot of people who were doing their best to keep themselves and others safe.


Therefore wear your damn mask or stay on your property.

Your rights end where mine begin. I have a right to be safe from your foolishness.

@SW-User The problem is that you don't understand science or physics and have no idea that masks have no effect on stopping the spread of viruses. NONE! But you are going to engage your ignorance to insist everyone else keep you safe. How stupid is that? Here is the point. We have a very weak virus that is being blown way out of proportion. We have silly governments passing all kinds of laws based on their flawed (on purpose) understanding of life in general. Let us shut down the economy today. Let us pass mask laws tomorrow. Let us make vaccines mandatory the day after that. Let us make everyone bow before the idol or not have food. There is no end to the evil in the hearts of men and if you think it stop any time soon you are the biggest fool on SW.

@hippyjoe1955 masks are evil?

Dude it's a piece of fucking fabric. You're a pussy.

@SW-User The fact that you can't see the bigger picture is the entire problem. Since when does the government tell you what you must do with your body?

@hippyjoe1955 every god damn day! Anti abortion laws, suicide is illegal, dueling is illegal, marijuana is illegal.

But you dont mind those infringements on personal freedom because they fit into the rules of your archaic cult.

But when someone makes a rule based on science that is meant to help you and everyone you know, that is where you decide to "take a stand".

Sit the fuck down. Eat some starburst and watch teletubbies while the adults handle things

@SW-User No one is stopping you from wearing your mask. No government has the right or obligation to say that everyone must wear a mask. If masks work you will always be safe because you always wear them. If they don't work and you get sick even though you were wearing a mask don't blame me for not wearing a mask blame the mask for not protecting you. Stupid people have no idea that masks are useless against viruses. I find that so hard to understand how stupid otherwise intelligent can be.

@hippyjoe1955 here is something you should be able to understand

@SW-User So you are pro or anti abortion? I am anti abortion because it kills an innocent life. I don't care what you ingest or use to waste your life. Should you in your quest for drugs kill someone or steal other's property then you should face the consequences. What is yours is yours what is mine is mine. You don't interfere in my life and I don't interfere in yours. So simple even a moron like you might grasp the concept.

@SW-User Nice meme. Too bad it made you look like a fool. There has been an outbreak in an extended care unit up the street from me. The staff and patients have been wearing masks for months. The staff is constantly washing and sterilizing and always wears gloves. The staff is constantly checked for the virus and the building is has been in lockdown since Feb. How did the virus get in? Did someone's mask not work? The horror.
SW-User
@hippyjoe1955 maybe so. But that doesn't affect you. What's your is yours and what's theirs is theirs right? It's none of your business.

I'm pro abortion because it's none of my damn business.

And it may stop a few morons from being born. So there's that.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@SW-User Makes sense. You kill the innocent because you don't value life. You make a big deal out of an ineffective mask why again? It has been shown over and over that they don't work. Silly you. Not such a deep thinker after all.
SW-User
@hippyjoe1955 in a condensed environment yeah they are less effective but in your daily life if you dont linger places and keep on the move and everyone wears them then yes they help.

Its about mitigation not outright prevention. It slows it down!

How did you live this long?!
SW-User
@hippyjoe1955 if you're not the one getting an abortion then you didnt do shit. It's not up to you to be a judge for everyone else. Even your favorite zombie Jesus says that.


Leave the judging to the fake god and just live your life.

If he is real and all powerful then I'm sure he does not need your help.

@SW-User In normal everyday activity a mask is worse than no mask. Did you know that mold and mildew grows on the inside of your mask after a couple of hours? That can make you very ill. Did you know that disposable masks are bio-hazardous after usage? Unless disposed of properly (properly contained and disposed of by incineration) they serve as a good place for the virus to rest until some one else touches the mask to put it in the garbage. It would seem not. So much for your understanding of science and stuff.

@SW-User So you have no respect for human life? Speaks a lot more about you than it does me. But masks!!!!!!!! What a complete idiot you are. So sad that your mother didn't fry you when you were just an egg.
SW-User
@hippyjoe1955 your god has less respect for human life than anyone. Hell he has killed more babies than anyone too!

Remember the final curse against Egypt?


Remember how he punished David for sleeping with Bathsheba?

Remember how he told the chosen people to slaughter all the inhabitants of the promised land? Pretty sure they had babies.

@SW-User Such stupidity from such a stupid person as you deserves to be blocked.
