Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

history and civics books aren't gonna cure you if you get infected.

good grief.

ok Jake.

People are stupid. Thus government, as a collection of people, must also be stupid. Why should anybody put much faith in them?

so why have a government at all then? There are checks and balances in place.

I love ya, Jake, but this is a weak effort. You could use this sentence to justify almost any response to an external threat, no matter how serious.

The checks and balances are routinely ignored, though. And few people seem to be bothered by it at this point.

 

[chargervol]

We stand in the middle of pages of laws. Laws that are permanent and questionable to say the very least. Most with justifications that are egregious.

Guess I'm just surprised that it's temporary policies that have an actual safety concern and legitimate cause to return us to the American way of life, that's a trigger.

 

[jakez4ut]

ok Jake.

well, you threw it out there....lol.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

And it’s not about them ATTENDING. It’s the LEAVING afterwards and SPREADING by going to stores...thus affecting the lives of those who didn’t choose to ATTEND. No individual’s rights or group’s thereof supersede the rest of the population.

The people at the store went into the public knowing of the risk, though. Correct?

agree. then don't throw HS history/civics class lessons out there as a reason we should be good with NOT madating and enforcing shelter at home orders.

lol.

They are still bound by the Constitution. Police powers do not give the government unlimited authority.

And the Constitution is always up for interpretation.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

And the Constitution is always up for interpretation.

There is no way to be completely safe in a free society.

Are you advocating for giving the government the authority to suspend Constitutional rights for any situation they deem an emergency or threat to public health?

 

[butchna]

The people at the store went into the public knowing of the risk, though. Correct?

That 1200 people had hacked and hawked all over each other and then certain members had went to get some hot dog buns? How exactly?

No...not for ANY. This qualifies tho.

a reasonable risk with everyone under the mandates, following the guidelines set out, yes.

that over a 1000 people broke the mandate and are out and about doing their own thing?...no....that's an unreasonable risk that I nor anyone in my family should have to take simply becuase these morons just don't get it....

 

[drvenner]

I re-watched the Miss. St. game last night. Our defense really came to play. We still should have won by about 30.

They entered the public knowing that this virus exists. They must also know that there is a chance they will be exposed to the virus in the process.

gotta get woke....injustice everywhere. even when they're trying to prevent you from getting sick and/or dying, they're out to get ya. FL man showed 'em......

You dont have to take the risk. Stay in your house, have your groceries delivered. Disinfect them when you receive them. You have choices.

 

[butchna]

Then you just crystallized why these measures are necessary.

 

[butchna]

Or keep those people home...lots of options.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

No...not for ANY. This qualifies tho.

But you've given them the authority now. What if they decide that the opioid epidemic is a public health emergency that requires drastic action?

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Or keep those people home...lots of options.

Keep everybody at home. That would be the most effective way to combat a virus. Martial law would surely work.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

I re-watched the Miss. St. game last night. Our defense really came to play. We still should have won by about 30.

story of our season....defense improved. More times than not, the offense regressed.

 

[butchna]

Depends on the “drastic action” you’re speculating. Checks and balances exist. Took a lot of wheeling and dealing to get checks sent out to the citizens. No one person or group thereof could enact it by themselves.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

gotta get woke....injustice everywhere. even when they're trying to prevent you from getting sick and/or dying, they're out to get ya. FL man showed 'em......

It's not about being woke. It's just about understanding natural rights.

 

[butchna]

Keep everybody at home. That would be the most effective way to combat a virus. Martial law would surely work.

And yet that hasn’t happened. Pours mud on your hysterics somewhat.
