I’m assuming Clerks 2 is a movie or TV show I haven’t seen or heard of. Mama always said, be as nice and kind as you possibly can to the people that touch your food.

It has to do with how you are raised and manners. Nothing more or nothing less.

The problem is that no one called her out on it. Everybody probably stood around and looked uncomfortable. If all of the customers in the place "explained" to her that her actions were unacceptable some of this would stop. By not saying anything she has been given permission to act like this anytime she feels like it.

Covid is 99.44% politics.

What the anti-masker says: "Its illegal! Its unconstitutional! Herd immunity! Its my RIGHT!" What the world actually hears: "I'm a whinny little b itch that doesn't give a damn about anybody but myself!"

If we all put on a condom each time we left the house, we could get rid of STDs. Are in for that too? Life is full of risks. Live and enjoy it. When it’s your time, it’s your time.

Well evidently we could never fight a world war again. It would be too inconvenient.

Guys, I have done my best and still do to stay away from Chinese and other foreign companies but Olight has proven to me that there are some companies in China as good as American companies and better at times. I have always used Surefire lights and still do I had a few friends that use flashlights for life and death situations recommend Olight to me, the last one being Tim Thurner owner of TT gun leather, For those of you who do not know Tim is one of the firefighters who fights the wild fires and arson in Northern California he uses flashlights for search and rescue, Tim is making me some flashlight holsters for my Surefire Dual Fuel Fury 1500 Lumen Intel Beam which I still love and carry, He kept saying how much he loves his Olight M2R Pro Warrior so I broke down and ordered one, This thing is 1800 Lumens and awesome Olight gave me a great price as I told them I wanted to compare to Surefire, I have had it for a few weeks now and love this thing, so much that I am becoming a dealer for Olight I have to do an initial order so if any of you want an Olight I will give you the best price that I can, Let me know I will be getting several of these down the road they are incredible

Cool. For some reason it was stuck in the back recesses of my mind that they were toxic. A quick google search disproves that theory. However, like a snapping turtle, I have little interest getting close enough to something with that many teeth to dress it.

I didn't know he was retired Air Force. He got into painting while stationed in Alaska because he was so taken by the scenery up there.

I had some neighbors like that once but it had nothing to do with fireworks, at least not the kind you watch.

I believe in the Soup Nazi approach. NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Its Karen

I'm guessing you have never been on a ventilator or other serious life sustaining equipment in a hospital or you wouldn't be picking on someone that has been. I have taken a few rides on several life support machines and not really wanting to do another so I will speak up on this issue. If the policy in that particular store or town is for people to wear masks then masks should be worn or management should require they leave. Rule in stores are the same as laws when you are in public. The police do law enforcement and managers do store rule enforcement. How many times do people have to hear the statement "IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING" before it is understand what that means.

I will say one thing, if she ate what she finally received shes brave lmao. Maybe she should watch Clerks 2 and consider some patience

While this may be very uncommon in that particular area, yes people do act that sort of way under normal circumstances. The problem with saying something to a complete stranger that is already physically agitated, is that it’s taken as escalation and when you carry, that’s something to avoid at all costs. That being said, common courtesy, common sense, and just being kind to one another has gotten less and less common over the years. However, right now in the current situation, the erosion of society is happening at a much faster rate. I fully agree with your sentiment of “Stay vigilant”

happy 4th. we have to work hard to keep it.

Mistake #1

Happy Independence Day and....................................... ............................"GOD BLESS THE USA"

It is a slippery slope. What happens when the next virus comes around? We’ve been subjected to a new one for years now, yet now it’s stop the world. As far as gun control goes it’s a done deal. It’s not ever going away or getting any better. No one is asking you to give up your decision making rights as a human being, just have some consideration for others and those you might come in contact with. You can decide not to frequent a business that requires what The Man tells them to do. Guess who wins.

Because "muh rights" :shakes fist: Because we live in a time where even a pandemic has become politicized. We can't come together to do anything even remotely kind and decent because everything is viewed through a partisan lens. If we wear a mask it means the libs have somehow won. Next we'll all have to turn in our guns and have Bill Gates microchip our assholes. Anything scientific is also suspicious and linked to the liberal overlords. We can't trust them either.

Since we’re about to bust the 80th page of this thread.... What’s with all the animosity against wearing a mask in public? I hate it, but will abide for the time being. Why start out just immediately dismissing the short-term practice as being some self-perceived violation of one’s person and liberty? Save your indignation for when a vaccine is released...and it becomes mandatory.

I really don't want to bring down the tone of this very important day. I'm a solitary and usually independent old cuss, but tonight I would ask for some prayers of support for my wife, Susan, and mother-in-law Bettie. And leave it to me to forget his love...Julie. I'm sorry. We lost my brother-in-law Tad this afternoon and I had to tell my wife she'd lost her brother, and then go and tell Bettie that her son was gone. I did it, and that's all I can say. If you can remember them in your prayers for the next few days; I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Oh, I’m so sorry. Know that y‘all are in my prayers.

No. The difference is that we do care about other people and want to keep everybody safe.

Escondido checking in I remember when 15 went through downtown Temecula, 1 stop light town.

I made that move from Temecula to TN in 05.

Ive carried an Olight daily for over a year, Hard use. theyre GTG as far as Im concerned.

I feel that my life and the lives of others in my car are threatened.

This is Independence Day, which falls on July 4th. We are not celebrating a date. We are celebrating our creation as a new country, separate from Great Britain. Our forefathers fought TWO wars to create and retain that independence. Both took an enormous toll in lives and property on a sparse and relatively poor population. Appropriate movies for today are: April Morning, 1776, Mister Smith goes to Washington, The Patriot, and the HBO series on John Adams. I would ignore the Disney movie 'Hamilton' as it is politically-correct, revisionist history. There have been some excellent documentaries about the American Revolution. If you can find the one History Channel did in the '90's, it was pretty good without bowing to the PC crowd. There is an absolutely awful movie called Taking Liberty that was a pilot for a proposed TV series. It is notable only as it has David Ogden Stiers as Benjamin Franklin, the adorable, beautiful, and sweet Sophie Ward (sigh) as the female lead, and a a couple of amusing scenes involving a handsome and dashing British Highland soldier (me).

The leadership of IL doesn't want the thugs to need to be worried that their victims could defend themselves.

While I agree that saying nothing is tacitly giving permission, I'd also note that there are a certain number of folks who have given themselves permission to act like this and nothing anyone says to them will convince them of the error of their ways.

I've felt from the beginning that when we're at the point of debating the utility of the vaccine widely available, with all the conspiracy theory sure to come, we'll be back to whatever passes as normal for the country.

Happy 4th to everyone!! I have been doing a little digging on some trivia concerning the Declaration Of Independence and found this from the History channel. I hope everyone realizes these signers were putting their lives and wealth on the line. It wasn't a mere formality, they were telling King George III to go take a hike. Enjoy your holiday with your friends and family!! https://www.history.com/news/9-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-declaration-of-independence

And improvising awesome gear as well.

He's good. Talked to him on the phone a few days ago. Scheming weird gun stuff as usual.

Yup lost on me, unless I have no other choice, as with "No Guns" signs, I will take my business elsewhere.

“Gov. Bill Lee granted authority Friday to mayors in 89 counties in Tennessee to issue their own face mask mandates as COVID-19 cases rise statewide. The move follows a record day-over-day increase after the state health department reported 1,822 new cases. Six counties with locally run health departments — Sullivan, Knox, Hamilton, Davidson, Madison and Shelby — already have authority to issue mask mandates as needed.” https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/03/tennessee-counties-given-ok-order-mandate-masks-governor-bill-lee/5373590002/

Unfortunately, that obvious message will be lost on too many.

Kroger on 70 in Bartlett has plexiglass barriers between cashiers and the customers. Each one has a 3” or 4” diameter hole for you to put your hand through the get to the credit/debit card machine. The machine is not lined up with the hole, so it’s basically impossible to not touch the side of the hole. So somebody’s feel good idea to keep everybody safe is actually making everyone touch the same spot. No plexiglass barriers would be safer. The stupidity is getting worse every day.

Why do you think it's your job to police other people like that? If you are afraid of catching it then why are you out when there are plenty of ways to have basically no exposure and get supplies to survive? You and you alone are responsible for your own health.

I’m a truck driver. A dash cam can hang your ass just as easily as it can save your ass.

I had an issue with prescription pills for 2 years after having multiple back surgeries. I went to 2 treatment centers/ detox in a year. I’m 3 years clean now by the grace of God and a program I work daily. Anyways.. I’ve never had an issue buying firearms since then.

I completely believe the current number of infected or post infected (recovered) is easily an order of magnitude or more higher than the 120000ish cases reported. If the number is 1,200,000 that makes the “mortality rate” drop from ~3% to ~0.3%. Now, the older population is still more venerable to more serious complications than the average person. WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!!
