    I'd check with the moderators if I were you. I believe 16 is the least they allow. You can ask them, and see if they can make an exception in your case.

    Look, I'm sorry but I am not going to be the poster that gives you the attention you so desperately seek. Unless you learn how to discuss issues like a grown-up I have no desire to waste my time with you. Maybe someone else will babysit you. I won't.

    Yeah... I could see that on your post.
    Such profound arguments. A rationale to prove your point that would make Plato shiver and turn Descartes' face red.

    If you want a serious discussion, start by posting arguments that contain some substance. Disinformation with zero rationale just doesn't quite cut it.

    You can start over though. Try submitting a serious and well reasoned point and see what happens.

    It's not the wearing of the mask, but the mandate of wearing a mask that impedes the free exercise of commerce and social interaction. What's next? A full hazmat suit before you can go to the local grocery store.

    No, what's next is millions don't die and the virus becomes less of a problem because a treatment is found or it's cured, not because it kills some requisite number.

    Again, I fail to see how even the mandate of wearing a mask impedes the free exercise of commerce. Maybe social interaction, I dunno. Are you one of those who trust his fellow so little that you need to constantly see his face to judge whether he is lying in even the most trivial transaction?

    We learned that when it comes to wearing masks, the Mask Nazis at MSNPC are sanctimonious frauds and hypocrites.

    What, exactly, does Fox have to do with that?

    Fox was downplaying the virus early on to protect Trump's 15 going on zero

    then fox was attacking the States for following Trump's shutdown and reopening guidelines, both MSNBC and FOX are partisan

    the are two peas in the same pod

    The mask has become a symbol of the chaos, anarchy, and division that came from it's implementation.

    The mask was never a solution to a health crisis, but instead a means to silence and oppress the people. Not even WHO recommends masks, other than for those who are health care providers.

    Free thyself from the mask, and you will free thyself from its oppression.

    Folks with double standards have twice the number of standards as other folks. And man are we seeing double standards!

    A gratifying victory. The subtext of the ruling, wrote Peter Spiliakos, is that “the NY state and city governments were treating left-wing protest as a de facto state religion and were discriminating against other faiths.”

    Gotta treat all creeds equally under the law. No special privileges for devotional wokery.

    They're Lying Dog Face Pony SoldiersQ!

    If you want to get the facts, listen to the experts.

    THE EXPERTS HAVE SPOKEN.

    Shot: German study finds no evidence coronavirus spreads in schools: Scientists say children may act as a “brake” on the spread of the virus.

    Chaser: “On Tuesday, in testimony to the Israeli parliament, Dr. Udi Kliner, Sadetzki’s deputy, reported that schools—not restaurants or gyms—turned out to be the country’s worst mega-infectors.”

    There is evidence for and against mask wearing. It's not a done deal and therefore, should be a choice. No one should be "shamed." I don't wear one, but I'm a poster child for social distancing. Always have been. Anyone who is afraid to approach me should stay as far away as they deem appropriate.

    My biggest concern is that, throughout all this we are losing our humanity. And I fear we won't retrieve it easily. When the esteemed Dr. Fauci said maybe we'll never shake hands again, he may be correct. Never hug one another either. Communicate only through our "devices"? Do we want to live in a world where we are forever distanced from one another and afraid to touch, for fear of "catching something"? I don't. That seems to be the direction we are headed. And once we get used to living that way (and some people want this to go on for a very long time for reasons of their own), our humanity will be slow to return.

    What is the evidence against mask wearing? The closest thing I've seen to "research" against mask wearing have been articles that don't factor in both parties wearing masks and that psycho from the Plandemic brainwash video who vomited nonsense about masks "reactivating" the virus.

    Seems like, from the beginning, the so-called experts have gone back and forth about whether masks do any good or just "make us feel better."

    I do think over time that we will all relax on the touching thing. At least I hope. I'm a big handshake guy, have been since the day I entered the business world.

    Masks are the source of infection. They accumulate viruses and act as a reservoir instead of allowing viruses fall stay on the ground.
    Muzzles are for the dogs and slaves, we are free human beings.
