There is NO USA LAW that exempts you from wearing a mask...

From my elective law classes ^.^ (if you’re still in college take tort... as an elective thank me later)

So a guy walks in a business, ignores the sign "must wear mask or you will not be served." As he walks in other customers who are wearing a mask give him a look. He approaches the counter and says, "I can’t wear a mask I have a doctors note."

Employee responds, "let me get my manager."


Manager comes in, "I am sorry but we can not serve you please use curb side pick up or I can have one of my employees take your order outside... you can not be in here without a mask."

The gentleman complains and eventually refuses to leave the establishment, "I’m not leaving till I get my order this is ridiculous."

Customers begin to leave the establishment as the manager calls the police. Eventually the police arrive, and ask the gentleman if he has documentation.

"I don’t have it on me, but it doesn’t matter I’m protected under federal law."

A customer interjects, "officers if I may comment, I do not see a disability card or a disability sign on his car nor is he parked on a designated disability parking spot. Unless he has a disability there is no federal, state or county law that exempts him from wearing a mask in an establishment that requires it."

There’s no precedent on masks, and no lawyer would even go near it... It is ridiculous to not wear a mask. I want to be clear if someone is complaining and acting odd towards wearing a mask he or she is most likely suffers from a mental illness or is experiencing anxiety. Our doctors and nurses wear masks 24hrs, stop complaining.

Just wait until the aliens arrive. Then you'll see an unprecedented unity amongst humankind, guaranfuckinteed.

Nice quote, but I'll address it literally.

I don't think we're on the brink of destruction. I don't think anything so clean-cut as a brink exists, any more than you can easily discern one grey from another in a gradient. And that's also part of the problem; we have to create our own brinks, our own thresholds for action and reaction. And right now, we as a species, as a society...as a community can't even agree on black and white, neverfuckingmind the greys.

Would Gort help us to see that? Ideally. But that's just a story. Just as Close Encounters is; just as Independence Day is. Just as Outbreak is. Just as Contagion is.

And we need those stories because the alternative is Big Brother Uncut, which is *interminably boring*...not to mention utterly soul-crushingly sad.

The brink of destruction? You still failed to see the point. An reminder.... some people only care about themselves... COVID-19 is mild for some, deadly for others. Some people just don't care if their actions is harmful to other but still many do. Self serving motive is also part of human nature.

Similar to your expectation of humankind to stand together against an indomitable enemy is unrealistic.

I think this already happened with the Ozone Layer problems we encountered back when CFC's where everywhere. If I remember correctly, almost everyone was 'in' trying to fix the problem; it was insane--

So an alien invasion/aggressive alien race attacking making unity amongst humans come to fruition? I agree that it will indeed be guaranfuckinteed

Oh; and I got a concern-- isn't the thread almost nearing the topic of "Discuss inflammatory topics, such as Politics or Religion"? We're entering the territory of law, which would lead to politics-- I'm afraid the thread might get to that point soon; if not thennn:



Press on gentlemen and lasses xD

I think we're staying vague enough not to invoke that one, but we'll see. If so, I hope none of us get placed in the naughty corner along the way.

As for the ozone layer thing, that shit happened right over my head. Apparently it's all healed now so that 'insane' movement had genuine headway and good results, but we're used to a somewhat lacking ozone layer down here anyway. Australian sun is just flat-out meaner than elsewhere. I've been to hotter places, drier places, more humid places, but that laser-focused speck of hatred is somewhat unique to south-east Australia.

You should try it down here in the south of NZ where we're even closer to Antarctica than you guys are. The heat here is never as bad, but the UV index is worse.

Which part am I confused about?

1)Human might not win against Alien?

2)Human might not stand together against Alien?

3)Some human are selfish and self serving?

Oh, no. That was MY confusion at your response. It didn't really seem to follow what I said, which was mostly in response to solwitch's quotation of The Day The Earth Stood Still.
