Why You Shouldn't Wear a Mask
Replies

Meh, still won’t wear one and still doing great.
Give the government an inch and they will take a mile. You accepted mask mandates locally and now the democratic presidential nominee, yes he is still a nominee and not president-elect, will try and implement a nationwide mask mandate.2 -
Ah yes, please do continue giving me reasons to use this.

How the hell is this thread still alive?!
Shouldn’t you misguided idiots be at a rally or something?10 -
Given your response you should know the answer to that. If there were a rally or something you and your kind would be there to accost and physically assault us.2

"Your kind" - as though all people who wear masks fall into one category or type. Just sayin', we aren't all a "one size fits all" group.6 -
No. I’d be home with my children. Keeping them safe from people like you.8

No, your kind as in someone who would call people like me misguided idiots who should be at a rally or something. That has nothing to do with masks.2 -

Thank you for staying home with your children. Although I’d never accost or assault them I appreciate you taking responsibility for your family’s health and staying away from me. You and your attitude are not someone we would appreciate around this community.4 -

I didn't call you that. At all. And you shouldn't assume that just because one mask-wearing denizen does, that we would all do that.
Just like you shouldn't assume that all mask-wearing denizens of the internet are pro-rioting, pro-protesting or pro-liberal. Again, just sayin', we aren't a one size fits all.9 -

But you responded to my comment, thus lumping me into a category along with who you were actually after, hence my response. I hold no ill will toward you and I'm Audi 5000 because I know well enough that political discourse or controversial topics usually land users in MFP jail. Peace.

Deuces, no I didn’t.0 -
I want to extend my sincere apologies to everyone for commenting on this thread. I am so sorry if I offended anyone or struck a sensitive chord, but I really hope I did not!!
I genuinely thought this discussion was solely for lighthearted chit-chat about the superficial reasons why we might not be too excited about wearing a protective mask.
I pray you all are doing everything you can to keep you and your loved ones safe, healthy, and happy!! Be of good cheer8 -

A nation wide mask mandate would be a good idea - like other countries have done and reduced their cases.
That isnt a give the governemtn an inch thing or a political sides thing -it is a health safety directive for the benifit of everybody.
like the mandates to wear seat belts or stick to speed limits etc.

I can't see lickity-split when I am also wearing my prescription lenses
I realise this is in chit chat and you posted in good faith - perhaps a serious thread on mask difficulties would be ok.
Not a debate about wearing them as mods have banned that and it is in the realm of debating seat belt laws - but a thread for hints about problems with mask wearing.
On the problem of fogging up glasses there are a few tips.
The one I found most helpful was rolling up a tissue concertina style and pushing it into the wire bit that moulds round your nose. Moulding it tightly onto your nose
Quite a few of the cheap paper masks do have a wire (or hard plastic) insert
Absorbs your breath so it can't rise upwards to fog your glasses

I never wear a mask. The data doesn't support it.3

Hey folks, we're not debating mask usage in the MFP community. This thread is being closed.
Stay safe,
