Let me try this again.

A friend of mine just got this notice from tickets she bought a long time ago for a baseball game.  When everything appeared to be cancelled, Stubhub told her that she couldn't get a refund until AFTER the date that the event was supposed to take place.  That would make it official.  Then the day came and went, and they held onto her money with the idea that the game might be rescheduled.  This notice is basically saying they acknowledge the cancellation (months later) but will be placing her money as a coupon for future events?

You're not banned, but you're going to take this to the TB or you'll end up banned.

You guys can't take real debate. You'll make a point and if I respond in kind with civility and respect for people not necessarily a governors policy I'm labelled for banning.

I have a beautiful Rottweiler and I've enjoyed debating things with you personally and respectfully. I haven't attacked anything but false beliefs here, scientifically false.

I did nothing wrong but respond truthfully and respectfully to others. We need MORE viewpoints NOT less. Some people trust government/politicians 100%, some people don't trust them at all. That's what's GREAT about America, you can choose.

I've been here for 15yrs. If you guys want to kick me out for having an opinion than the huddle is no longer the place to be or share, only people that agree to march in lockstep.

I bet the deaths are about to skyrocket again which is why trump admin is trying to seize the CDC death rate info so it can be swept under the rug. 

no doubt about it.  shitferbrains himself said one day it would magically go away and looks like this is the ticket for him.

I don't think you understand what he's saying.  You can say what you are saying, just not in this thread.  Go over to the TB and fire away.  This is a special thread that's being allowed on the main board...with conditions.  There is another coronavirus thread (over 200 pages long) in the TB.

He obviously didn’t help things but lets be honest there were complete fuging idiots who ignored science wayyyy before trump and there will be fuging idiots after trump. I’m not a fan of Obama but imagine “America’s left” in power telling people to wear masks. People would go batshit fuging crazy. Because this country is full of fuging idiots who think they know better than literal scientists. This country was founded on rugged individualism not solidarity.

people were calling what we’re seeing now months ago.

No disagreement there. I think it just has a huge normalization and empowering impact when you have a sitting POTUS spewing the anti-intellectual propaganda.

Trump obviously made things worse, but let's be real here, the only reason Trump is even president to begin with is because America has so many of these dumbasses. The federal government's response has been horrible but it was always going to be an uphill battle dealing with all of these retarded man-babies.

That being said, there's a lot of leftist/Democrat types that hate Trump that don't bother to wear masks either. When you go out in public in CALIFORNIA of all places and nearly 100% of people are not wearing masks, you can't say that it's only Republicans.

I've personally seen plenty of people whine endlessly about Trump when they can't be bothered to take 2 seconds to put on a mask themselves. Like yeah, Trump has been a useless incompetent moron, but you're part of the problem too, dumbass.

Everything these days is political.  Its an election year

New York Times is cannibalizing its own.  It is all about a certain opinion, do not waver, do not look for holes in stories.  Just swallow the news du jour.

Take it with a grain of salt, or a block of salt.  Nothing here will hold up in court.  It might be several years before people find out all the right answers on this virus.  Until then, we will just do our best to follow the changing guidelines and navigate a world where mask shamers and mask deniers equally virtue signal.

This is the spoiled ignorant entitled attitude that is precisely the problem.

The idea that someone's dumbass retarded opinion, based on made up BS they saw on facebook, is just as valid as facts and scientific findings coming from the worlds top experts.

No, the world doesn't need more of these dumbass "viewpoints" thrown in to muddy the waters and give people that are already selfish toddlers an excuse to be idiots.

If you don't have useful information to add, based in reality and facts, then just STFU, you're only making things worse.

You shut me down and made me acknowledge wrong doing before being allowed to post again.

If this is a state sponsored thread, state that. What about the guy talking all that junk attacking me above. Doing anything about name calling.

I didn't do that but you penalize me.

Nailed it. It's impossible to have a civil intellectually honest debate with someone who ignores facts and data and evidence to insert their own opinions as if they carry the same weight.

This place is so freaking transparent.  On one hand, "look at the science!" and then when science is inconvenient, "but the science isn't clear on that!"

Adding one caveat...or completely ignored altogether.
