Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78810135 All the grown men who play video games in their Mom's basement agree. Who wants to work a cash register owned by someone who took the capital risk of buying a cash register and giving your worthless ass a job when you there is porn and video games and free netflix and free $$$ from your Godvernment? This is EXACTLY WHY most of you fuckers need to be "put out of the way" of the rest of US. Lolol Nice edgelording but nope. Been more productive than ever. Did Mom bring you Pizza Rolls for "Leveling Up"? Any man who runs a cash register, is a fucking loser all the way around. Yeah, the person who is doing what they can to support themselves instead of not getting a check from Uncle Sugar is a fucking loser huh? Come on and take a free ride. |

Quoting: DoomsdayGuy If you said "Die from COVID19" are willing to put your money where your mouth is and protest for your rights? If you chose option #2, then enjoy your house arrest, maybe they'll let you out every once in a while to play. What's covid 19, never heard of it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75430122 United States 04/20/2020 06:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is all a slippery slope, but there is a "reasoned" way forward. YOU must ask yourself and deliberate as to whether temporary restrictions on your freedom are reasonable. You might say "No restrictions are reasonable", but that is too simplistic. Firstly, if I believe the virus is a serious threat to myself and others then a law restricting my freedom is largely moot seeing as how I'll want to stay home as much as possible anyway. Sort of like how I don't mind traffic laws seeing as how I prefer order and a degree of safety over mayhem. Secondly, my rights extend all the way to the next person's rights. My right to shop does not exceed my neighbor's right to health. The aforementioned assumes that I believe covid19 to be an eminent threat. If I believe it all to be contrived as a way to impede my innate rights then I'm obligated as a free man to object, first according to the ways of a civilized person, and in an extreme last resort my objections may become lethal. As a civilized man I would exhaust every Avenue for redress before the lethal option would be considered. After all, I am civilized. The threat must be great enough to justify my untimely death and thus my family's loss of the prosperity and security that my living self provides. As it is I live in a non locked down State and I am well pleased with the actions of my State and local governments and I have conveyed as much to my local representatives. As for federal efforts I have written my congressmen and expressed certain perceived shortcomings. |

Quoting: Half Past Midnight I like staying home, I always have been a home body. BUT I don't like being forced to stay here when I need to go somewhere, wherever that may be. Exactly! i dont condone someone having power over me just to have it. and as a human i can always revert to being just that, over a citizen. nothing easier to break out of than my own home. luckily i already read about how many cops arnt willing to hand out fines etc. But all of this will change once citizens can earn money by ratting out others. then we will be in a whole different ball park and you might be better off living in a ghetto than in some rich area. |

It's too much fun there. Quoting: LaGata Right? When I was on my mother's last nerve she would tell me "go pick out a switch". Haha, joke was on her because I wanted to be outside anyway. So I would pretend to go outside looking for a switch, and she would pretend she forgot what made her mad. |

Soon to be getting a whopping $900 a week in unemployment(!). All the weed stores are still open. All the restaurants are doing takeout. Plus the weather's been beautiful here and I go on bike rides everyday. I'm actually really enjoying this time. This is my happening and it freaks me out! |

Hundreds of thousands of men have fought and given their lives for this country, fought knowing they might well die, so that we could have rights, and we are so terrified by the prospect of a virus that may not even exist, that we hide in our homes. We don't deserve the rights they died for. |

Hardly a guaranteed death by any means. How about if we looked at the big picture. If human beings don't allow survival of the fittest to occur we will all die as a species within the next 100 years. Vaccines weaken the species where natural immunities strengthen it. So the real question you are asking is should we save less than 5% of the population when we will be killing the the rest of us over time? Or would you let 5% of the population die now to save the rest of the population over time? Think big picture. It will save the species. |

This is so new no one really knows what is to come as far as long term affects. If there are any... that is assuming people live long lives with it. Option 2. Play inside. |
