Protecting you is not my responsibility

Me, minus beer plus guns.

“Protecting you is not my responsibility”.

This needs to be its own meme.

Did this one a few weeks ago.

What is the opposite of caring about people? Because that's what the Democrat governors are into.

#NoFacePanties

Oh, but it IS your job to protect the people. Want to know why? You live in the UNITED States of America. See? It damn well is your responsibility, simply because you are part of the country. If you don't get that, then this is seriously one of the saddest cases of indifference to human suffering I have ever seen.

Wrong.

Here in America, I have the freedom to not give a f**k about you.

See? Another rightist, complaining about themselves and themselves only. Here in America, it is our job as a citizen to help each other. Damn UNITED, and not DIVIDED. Quit focusing on individual rights and see the country as a damn whole.

Our constitution here in America is based on the rights of the individual.

And, here in my state of Iowa, our motto is “Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.”

Nothing in the United States constitution or the Iowa constitution requires I’ve got to wear a mask to satisfy you.

Don’t like it? Too bad.

Enjoy sucking wet cotton for the rest of your life, signaling your virtue all the while.

You really don't get it do you? I am not complaining about you not wearing a mask. I am saying that you have to care about others around you. The Constitution states both our rights AND rules.

Immature selfishness can really get the best of people like you.

F**k you.

You just proved my point of you being selfishly immature...

“I am saying that you have to care about others around you.”

No, actually I don’t... and no “rule” says that I do.

I should totally screenshot this to show just how damn selfish you are. The "rule" is implied in the constitution, that we must care for one another. You just pollute this site with immature selfishness that I could care less about, but I still am trying to knock some damn sense into you.

Show me anywhere in the constitution where this “rule” you speak of “that we must care for one another” is “implied”.

Go ahead... let’s see whatcha got.

I can’t wait for my constitutional lesson!

To TMWIE, To love and be loved of G-d.

What a stretch, wear a mask because of the 14th and 15th A's.

Here is one. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendment state that the government and the people are not to discriminate against one another because of characteristics that they cannot control. That means care about others enough not to hate them because of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference, gender identity, and other such characteristics. It is not stated, but it is implied.

Fail.

I hope you actually follow through on the Hillsdale course. You will not regret it.

I wish you well.

I will, because I actually like learning things. Maybe if I took the Hillsdale course, I could actually find another implied rule. Thanks for referring me.

You’re welcome.

I said:

“Show me anywhere in the constitution where this “rule” you speak of “that we must care for one another” is “implied”. Go ahead... let’s see whatcha got. I can’t wait for my constitutional lesson!

Your reply:

“Here is one. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendment state that the government and the people are not to discriminate against one another because of characteristics that they cannot control. That means care about others enough not to hate them because of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference, gender identity, and other such characteristics. It is not stated, but it is implied.”

***********

You failed to support your statement, just like I knew you would.

Nothing in your explanation provides any support for your statement that the constitution implies “we must care for one another”.

I asked you to show me anywhere in the constitution where this “rule” you speak of “that we must care for one another” is “implied”, and you threw some poop at the wall hoping it would stick. It did not.

I reject your analysis.

Would you like to try again?

Show me anywhere in the constitution where this “rule” you speak of “that we must care for one another” is “implied”.

This time, please quote the exact text from the constitution that supports your statement.

You can’t, so you won’t.

"Implied" means that it does not necessarily have to be in the text. It means that something has a meaning that is not stated. THAT is what it means.

Just like I suspected, I failed to get through your thick skull. AGAIN.

I really don't know why I try. Some obligation to the human race.

It is a legal document succinct in what it says. You may have an opinion not bourne out by law.

“The fourteenth and fifteenth amendment state that the government and the people are not to discriminate against one another because of characteristics that they cannot control. That means care about others enough not to hate them because of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference, gender identity, and other such characteristics.”

Point to the exact text of the 14th and 15th amendments that “implies” that “we must care for one another”.

That we must care for one another. Care.

Don’t use weasel words. Just quote the text of the constitution that most closely implies what you say it implies.

Again, you can’t. So you won’t.

WRONG! The Constitution only constrains the government! Those that we elect to lead us.

(That is why Faceplant and Twitify can discriminate against conservatives with impunity)

Some of the Amendments enumerate some of the Rights of the PEOPLE, but not all.

(eg. The right to privacy)

You want your cake and eat it to.

And that's why Trump uses "Twitify" to blame Democrats for everything! BECAUSE THAT'S HOW LIFE WORKS.

You are very wrong. Neither social media companies, despite violating major privacy rights, discriminate conservatives. That's just you, believing everything Trump and Republicans say, simply because they agree with your political views.

Grow up already.

I do not get my information from the government or Trump. I am not a twit.

You can deny that fb and twit censor conservatives because you get your news from liberal news media.

There is plenty of evidence you just won't listen.

Eh, not really. CNN and MSNBC are the FARTHEST thing from news, only tied with Fox News and OANN. So don't come at me with liberal news bs, because it just ain't true. Also, you say there is evidence, and yet you cannot provide any.

Fine. Here is one: THE DAMN PREAMBLE.

Think about it. The first words. "We the people". Guess what that means.

That means we the people must work to "form a more perfect Union". UNION. That means we the people of the United States of America must work together and care for each other to strengthen this country, whether you are a citizen or a part of the government. THAT is what our Constitution's preamble means.

Please tell me this WILL get through you head. I really want it to happen.

Holy shit!!!

I thought you said the 14th and 15th amendments implied it?

I told you you could not find it! 😂

You must have realized that was not going to fly, so now, you are moving on the the Preamble?

Ok. It’s short... Let’s look at the whole thing, shall we?

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

That’s what you are now saying implies that “we must care for one another”?

You claimed that “The "rule" is implied in the constitution, that we must care for one another.”.

You think the the Preamble implies that there is “rule” that I “must care”?

“must care”?

Face it, you scoured the constitution for ANYTHING that you could try to support your spurious claim the “rule” that I “must care”, and you have utterly failed.

You have now tried to find the “rule” you seek in the 14th and 15th amendments, and now the Preamble.

Would you like to try again, or maybe just admit you were wrong?

I was looking at your profile because I wanted to see if you’d been active on Imgflip since our conversation ended without you being able to support your claim, when I saw this:

“I am pretty sure that I am the only anti-Trump teenager on Imgflip.”.

I almost said something, because I could tell from how you debated that you were very young. At one point, I was going to say “you are either very young, very dumb or both”, but did not. Now I wished I had... because I was correct. I’m guessing you are on the low side of being a teenager too... like 13 or 14.

Did your mommy take away the internet? Is that why you did not respond?

Or did you FINALLY realize you were wrong, and just did not want to admit it?

Sorry, got distracted for awhile.

I WAS wrong about the the 14th and 15th amendments. I'm not a CNN anchor. I admit when I am wrong.

The Preamble does highlight union and caring among us, whether you are a government official or an average person.

From what I can tell about YOU, is that you are extremely immature and selfish. Hate Democrats just because they don't agree with you, willing to defend ANYTHING Trump and his buddies do.

Don't use the logical fallacy ad hominem against me. It's very saddening.

You are a child. Literally.

That a problem? You never provide any logical arguments in your favor, just telling me information I already know. You probably don't even know what ad hominem means.

There’s no constitutional rule. It’s not implied. Your claim is crap.

You are a teenager, and you express yourself like one.

I called you out on your bullshit, and now you don’t know what to do.

Here’s some unsolicited advice.

Take the 10 week free online course Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution offered by Hillsdale College. You may actually learn something, and it is free.

https://online.hillsdale.edu/landing/constitution-101

Oh? That is because you cannot interpret the Constitution like I do, because you are so self-centered. If someone calls out my bullshit, then I will admit I am wrong.

And I will take the course just because I like learning.

I know what the word implied mean.

It’s almost as if you believe that you just saying “it’s implied”, and providing a dictionary definition of the word makes it so.

To support the claim you made, you’d have to quote the constitution’s text first, then tell me why it implies what you say it implies.

Lots of studies show masks are ineffective at help you or others. They increase your CO2 to dangerous levels.

Prove it.

Doctors and nurses wear them for twelve hour shifts upwards of six and seven days a week. I haven’t heard of one single fatality attributed to CO2 poisoning.

Stop spreading lies.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.thenewstribune.com/news/coronavirus/article243810967.html

DimHer1942 stalking someone to another meme to continue deflecting.
Yeah, that'll drive the point not being made home.

If seatbelts (mostly) work, why do we care about other people wearing them?

Owned.

Thank you for conceding that I possess real estate in your pea brain, be it temporary or (more likely) permanent.

You know you’ve gotten under someone’s paper-thin skin when they feel the need to memorialize you in their profile.

You’re forgettable. When I leave this site, you disappear from my consciousness like a fart in the wind.

Shucks, replaced DimHer's whining about me identifying her as Canadian instead of pretend Californian there.

You can have it back.

Arthur Godfrey once famously sang:

“I don’t want her, you can have her, she’s too fat for me.”

It states it right on the box. Masks are not effective.

Yup. To be clear face masks are wholly ineffective at stopping or slowing the spread of viruses, which are sub-micron particles. Masks can catch some bacteria and other particles which measure 5 microns and larger.

To be more clear, you’re 100% wrong.

Absolutely not. Stop following some 1950s droplet theory you saw being promoted on Facebook or 4chan. It's 2020, we know better.

Nothing short of an SCBA respirator prevents it, but every layer of protection reduces your ability to contract.

Basically what you’re conveying is if you’re not getting 100% protection, you want none?

I regret I have but one upvote for this comment.

*yawn*

The human respiratory system and immune system has adequate defenses against viruses, bacteria and other pathogens. A few virus particles in the system is not a problem. It does not make you a danger to yourself or others. Coronaviruses do not pose a clear and present danger.

Based on what? Can you site any sources other than Facebook or 4chan? Are you an epidemiologist? Pathologist? Where did you receive your doctorate from?

Screeeeeech screeeeeeech screeeeeech.
Do your own research you condescending lazyass. This is basic info that scientists have known for a very long time you disengenuous twat.

"Coughing, sneezing, nasal hairs, respiratory tract cilia, mucous producing lining cells and the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages provide protection against inhaled foreign bodies including fungi, bacteria and viruses. Indeed, the pathogen laden aerosols produced by everyday talking and eating would have the potential to cause significant disease if it were not for these effective respiratory tract defences."

BASIC INFORMATION!!!

I don’t need a specialized suit to space walk around the ISS. My skin is a natural defense!

THAT is how stupid you sound.

No, that's a false equivalence YOU MADE jackass. That is how stupid YOU sound.

I’m not making a logical argument; I’m mocking you, dummy.

Learn what “false equivalence” actually means.

Learn what fluid dynamics is jackass. Your analogy is shite. You even admitted there are natural respiratory defenses you hypocrite!!!!

“Learn what fluid dynamics is jackass.”

Fluid dynamics helps describe the movement of liquids and gases. For example, if a river flowed quickly enough that I could place a dam in front of it, and harness the power of force generated by the river, it would also slow the river down significantly.

Anyone with a brain can see where I’m going with this. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.

“Your analogy is shite. You even admitted there are natural respiratory defenses you hypocrite!!!!”

Of course I acknowledge the body has natural defenses. To do otherwise would be to deny science. However, I also acknowledge that the human body doesn’t have *enough* natural defenses to fight off this virus. If wearing a mask helps, it’s not that great of a sacrifice to ask.

I’ll even acknowledge that there’s a possibility, however infinitesimal, wearing a mask does absolutely nothing to prevent spread of the virus; but do you know what I KNOW does nothing to prevent the spread: doing nothing.

So, that being said, put on the mask, you selfish c**t.

You seem to like holding up the CDC as an authority, yet you give no citation.

So here is some research done by the CDC that they released in May 2020 titled
"Nonpharmaceutical Measures for Pandemic Influenza in Nonhealthcare Settings—Personal Protective and Environmental Measures"

In the section of this report titled "Face Masks", they say "There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure."

They go on to say "Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission"

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article

Yet, Dr. Fauci and the rest keep claiming we need to wear masks. It is not about controlling the virus, it is more about controlling you.

The idea is that if you are wearing a face mask it will be a physical reminder that the virus is still around. The mask will remind you to wash your hands more frequently, keep social distancing, and remain isolated, things that actually do work in reducing the spread of the virus.

The mask itself is a psyop, a prop, used to control your behavior.

The article is full of contradicting conclusions that all state that further data is needed and this is worthy of further study. You’re citing a section that acknowledges if everyone isn’t wearing a mask (and SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES an N95 or equivalent mask), then no one should wear a mask because it affects nothing.

The article also states in one study that virus transmission was reduced by >50% with a combination of face masks and hand hygiene.

If you want to politicize this and make it about personal freedom, that’s fine. It’s idiotic, but at least you’ve stated as such. But don’t cherry pick info. Be honest about your ignorance.

For someone who named themselves perspicacity, you’ve demonstrated none.

The CDC is staffed with scientists and doctors who trained for the majority of their lives and gets funded with billions every year to do the requisite research. You read a single article on some obscure website for Canadian dentists (I can google, too) and not even the entire article, just cherry picking whatever feeds into your BS narrative.

The irony here is if you put go to the main website: https://www.oralhealthgroup.com/oral-hygiene/
the first thing you see is a picture of a hygienist in goggles and a face mask. But irony is lost on the ignorant.

Wearing a mask presents another layer of defense, in addition to the bodies natural defenses. There are laws of physics that come into play: fluid dynamics, diffusion, etc. Face masks amplify the protection.

I’m assuming if you ever have to go into surgery, you’re going to insist no one in the operating room wear surgical masks...better hope no one sneezes, sparky.

Personally, I hope you do and I hope they all do.

Another arrogant "humanitarian" wishing harm on others, the sign of a true sociopath. Fraudulent "appeal to authority" with the CDC, which has repeatedly gotten it so wrong about covid, and which everyone knows has a massive conflict of interest for holding pharma patents. Try to keep up, sparky. The fact is masks cannot stop the transmission of sub-micron viruses. Surgical masks were never for the patient's benefit, lunkhead. Apparently you are stupid enough to think a surgeon would cough into a patient. Fluid dynamics! What a dolt!!!!

Face masks provide no protection. That is what you said. How am I wishing you harm then?

Can’t have it both ways, skippy.

And a surgeon or a nurse or an anesthesiologist can cough or sneeze into a sanitized room and infect everyone in the room.

Are you really this ignorant?

Facemasks do not prevent or slow the transmission of viruses. If you believe the CDC do you also believe Dr Fauci? In March 2020 he said the same thing.

No one cares about a cough or sneeze from a healthy person. They are not germ factories. Why would an ill person be working in an operating room, you dolt!

So much stupidity to unpack...

“Facemasks do not prevent or slow the transmission of viruses. If you believe the CDC do you also believe Dr Fauci? In March 2020 he said the same thing.”

Fauci also said there wasn’t enough PPE available to provide the medical facilities‘ needs AND the general public’s needs so they held off on the recommendations. Science changes every single day. At one time, they believed the Earth was the center of the universe, but we LEARNED and evolved our understanding of the nature of things. The coronavirus is no different.

“No one cares about a cough or sneeze from a healthy person.”

So you’d be okay with a “healthy person” coughing or sneezing around you without, at the very least, covering their mouths? You’re a filthy liar if you answer yes.

“They are not germ factories. Why would an ill person be working in an operating room”

Again, science teaches us that the human body, is teeming with bacteria and germs and whatever other creepy crawlies you can think of...the mouth, in particular, being the most-riddled. This is common knowledge. One can also carry COVID-19 and be asymptomatic for upwards of two weeks (or may never get sick at all) but transmit the virus to others unknowingly...like sneezing or coughing in an elevator or a crowded room or a train...this is also common knowledge.

Hence, an “ill person” may never experience symptoms and never know they’re actually ill. This is all common knowledge. But your minutes of exhaustive googling has taught you otherwise.

You strike me as a wildly irresponsible moron.

You are truly beyond normal Trumpian levels of idiocy, and that's saying A LOT.

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/megan-fox/2020/05/14/neurosurgeon-says-face-masks-pose-serious-risk-to-healthy-people-n392431

Disingenuous. Anyone reading the article can clearly see that the "correction" only points out that some people disagree with Dr. Blaylock's original article. The correction makes zero changes to the substance of the original material. There is nothing to consider about whether PJ Media is reliable or not. It is mostly quotes from the original article (linked), with some text added so that it can run it as content and get ad revenue (aka how info business on the internet works).

Yup! That's why they wear those caps, they're actually lined with cushiony rubber to absorb the impact of falling on their heads.

Don't forget that also their masks basically function as a dispenser of disease,,,
Proof? Ever notice the high number of sick people in hospitals? Coincidence? I think not.

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/megan-fox/2020/05/14/neurosurgeon-says-face-masks-pose-serious-risk-to-healthy-people-n392431

I don't do links and you know what? If heaven forbid you ever end up in a hospital, you have my permission to tell them not to use any masks or gloves are even scrub.

Disengenuous twat. F**k you and your presumptive dictatorial arrogance. Masks are in fact not needed during operations/surgery, at least not for the patient's benefit. Operating theatres are already clean. F**k off for your condescension in implying that people don't know about germs and hands being a source of germ transmission. Everything has its details, any you certainly aren't the master of it, that much evidently clear. Your gross error in equating masks and gloves is proof enough.

#drinkthebleach

Do you know how to read then?

Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, says that:
1. 17 of the best studies were analyzed, “ None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection."
2. Face masks can make cancer, heart attacks, and strokes worse (from low oxygen and inflammation)
3. Increased chance of viral transmission to the brain (wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain)
4. Studies have found dangers from mask wearing....this can vary from headaches, to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, to hypoxia, all the way to serious life-threatening complications. It is known that the N95 mask, if worn for hours, can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20%, which can lead to a loss of consciousness, as happened to the hapless fellow driving around alone in his car wearing an N95 mask, causing him to pass out, and to crash his car and sustain injuries.

Bet you never considered all the different medical situations people could face as you condescend on down from your ivory tower? Oh but he's only a neurosurgeon and you are a sharp-tongued dismissive memer.

Dr. Russell Blaylock is a bit of a lunatic who insists artificial sweeteners cause MS, the Soviet Union introduced STDs and drugs to the US and that Obama wanted to euthanize everyone.

Yeah, I’ll take my advice from that guy.

YES! As it turned out that is was the caps that were preventing the spread of disease, not the CO2 concentrating knockout masks.

FUN FACT: In Florida, home to the latest in crime trends and crazy drugs, surgical masks have become the latest knock out pill in the bar scene.

Ever notice that about Fla? It's the epicenter of lunacy.

Florida is the trend setter for all things bad.

Sadly behind everything else tho.
