Everything is an absolute, huh?

Perhaps you need a reminder of why masks are worn? It's not to avoid
getting infected - it's to reduce the chance of infecting others. But you
know that, and seem to just be trolling here.

If you think wearing a mask is humiliating, then I think you have an
insecurity problem.
If you think they're immoral, then you have a horrible understanding of
morality that seems sophomoric at very best, and most likely dehumanizing
itself.

Now you're showing total ignorance. You clearly know absolutely nothing
about BDSM. Second, if you think that wearing masks to reduce the
possibility of infecting others is in any way related to Muslims wearing
niqabs, you have issues, you're trolling, or both.
> Masking is wrong. Period.
Again, absolutes.
>> What part of responsibility in protecting others do you not understand?

One doesn't have to know much to follow direction from those that do know.
You've offered nothing but insecurity as reasoning for not masking while
pretending that you think that masks are meant to avoid infection, not to
avoid infecting others.
These are truly bad faith arguments.
If you think masking is bad, do some homework. Find some REAL data that
shows that.

I think there's a misunderstanding here. I'm not talking about a problem
with everyone going out in to public - I have a problem with people who
are unvaccinated and anti-mask going out in to public. I am not for
lockdowns and simply wish everyone would participate enough that they
wouldn't be necessary.
Your quoting is a bit odd, so it makes it hard to easily tell what's
quoted and what's new, so I'll have to re-read everything with this
misunderstanding in mind.
