Laws in Arkansas pass against mask mandates and vax passports

The Mask issue will fall to Business preference, under the whole No shoes No Shirt No Service deal.

As for Vaccine passports, this is a good step and happy at the speed of legislation in these States.

I can honestly understand people’s vehement position on vaccine mandates, but masks?

Yeah...masks don't do a thing, haven't you heard? Unless you're hanging dry wall and want to protect your lungs from limestone particles which is smart.

Only a fool thinks that flimsy piece of material is going to somehow miraculously filter a virus. And why would you want to filter a virus with a 99.97% survivability percentage?

I can debunk "masks work" with one single picture. But in the end it doesn't really matter what you tell a fool. A fool will believe whatever his / her irrational fear controlled mind wants to believe even in the presence of pristine infallible logic.

Cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias mangled together in the weak and feeble-minded.

So why bother?

Have you looked on the boxes of those masks?

Lots of places are having a hard time finding employees. The extra COVID relief is mucking up the economy. Even where I work and they are offering salaried positions with benefits, decent entry level stuff for this area, they can't get applicants. More since Missouri shut off the tap.

But Kansas is still paying out.

Plenty of people happy to squeak by at home right now.

You can think what you like.

If I didn't have those conditions making life miserable for me with the mask on, I likely wouldn't have gotten it because, as you so ably point out, wearing a mask wouldn't be that big a deal, now would it?

I honestly wish it wasn't such a big thing and that I had adapted like everyone assured me I would because now I don't know if I'll be able to handle another round of masking if it comes down to it.

Yeah the bill has no language against businesses, just state and local officials.

Like a giant asteroid threatening earth, one could see this pandemic as a unifying force to drive humanity into a new era of development.

Of course some on this forum would shoot me for saying such collectivist comments.

I still like the idea of collectively we are stronger.

I agree with the passports I do not with being a patriot and protecting your fellow citizens however!

And neither protect anyone from anything.

I needed to go back an re-read that and edit do not agree with Passports but come on washing your hands, covering your mouth when you cough basic don't be disgusting 101...

I have both...but it was a minor inconvenience to protect my fellow PATRIOTS!

Why is this a good step? You wish for State border patrol or regulations?

Early sources said masks that weren't n95s did nothing. I don't know if they really work or not either, though, but that box is most likely not the kind the media said was effective.

It's a false equivalency, I think.

You are so smart, you decide to do nothing and not to bother?

No wonder you all are so angry, you are so smart and see everything and realize nothing can be done.

Who's angry? I'm living my life man. Mask free and haven't worn one yet. Never stayed inside during the "lock downs". Went to work, flew on planes, hiked to the top of mountains, yada, yada, yada.

Don't get angry with me because I am a free thinker capable of hyper critical thought while sifting through the never ending lies the MSM wants everyone to believe.

Are you one of those misguided fools who thinks people are all sick and they just don't know it? Let me guess. You bought into the "asymptomatic" argument, right? And because people don't wear a mask they may unwittingly spread some mysterious virus they don't even know they have? That particular group think was one of my all time favorites. Remember I can debunk and have debunked the "masks work" argument with a single picture. It's next level epic brother. Trust me you don't want to see it because it will collapse your synapses.

I'll paraphrase the months of that next level "asymptomatic" BS:

"You people are most likely sick! Wear a mask! Even though you feel completely fine, just know you're not! You most likely have the killer convid! We don't care if you feel completely fine or if you don't exhibit ANY signs at all of being sick. Hurry down to the nearest completely vacant convid testing center to get tested today with a test never designed to test for corona viruses which also has a 50% false positive probability!"

Talk about next level ignorance. If that offends you then sorry brother. It just means you need to wake up and develop better reading comprehension and hone those critical thinking skills.

Remember this?

I observe that patriotism is only a good thing when it seems to support you or something you desire.

Just like paying taxes is patriotic.

Tell me ... is your mask an American flag?

It's the standard blue mask box I have them at home.

Yes I am lol. I was going to reference it in my post but I figured someone would make the connection.

The flag should not be worn as a mask...

Here let me help you if you are (doubtfully) an American on How to treat the AMERICAN FLAG

Now you if you need some education on how to be a PATRIOT I can also assist as there are a lot of Ignorant people believing themselves to be one these days.

But again if you did get the shot good on you! Trump speed it up at least for Americans so you can benefit from it!

a reply to: DBCowboy

Right so I mean media said those did nothing too. Idk maybe I misread something in your post.

Eventually we get past the family, tribes, cites, city states, countries and realize we are a planet of Humans...

Eventually?
