Hey, I respect your right to not shut the fuck up just because some random loser like me tells you on the Internet.

Let's just stop wanting to say slurs so bad and stop defending rich celebrities from facing repercussions when you or I would rightfully face termination for things far less racist.

It's the fact that people do face termination that I have a problem with. Doesn't matter if it's me, you, or a rich celebrity.

Look, racial slurs are a problem. But we go about solving them in the stupidest way. We basically vilify the shit out of people who use them. We basically ignore very basic principles of language that add significant context to their usage. In the process, we make both the person who used the word and the people who vilify them look bad.

The best way to solve the problem is to fight with internal resistance, not external resistance. It takes some dedication and effort to break habits, and even more effort to push it in the other direction, but it can be done. Words can be endured by people if they are willing to put in the effort to endure them. Once this is done, there is no negative power associated with those words. So why not work toward solving the problem in this way, as it is so much less costly? It's a basic cost-benefit analysis.

I'm just trying to help solve the problem. We both understand that it's a problem, and that it should be solved. Our hearts and minds are in the right place. Let's work together. My ideas come from genuine compassion for all humans and from my life experience. I'm sure yours do, too.

Honestly, neither. Also, shut the fuck up

That's not a very nice way to answer somebody's question. Are you saying you don't want to hear somebody's question or opinion if it doesn't directly align with your thought process? If so, I highly recommend rethinking your loyalty to your stances and learn to respect other people.

Some do.

It's literally the worst music you'll ever hear

I really like a lot of country music from the 50s through the 80s and some stuff from the 90s. After that it seems like it's been condensed to similar singing styles and strum patterns. But I'm sure there's lots of newer country stuff out there that I haven't heard.

I dunno..I'm just not feeling the creativity from the genre anymore.

It's actually the opposite of what you said. The model that the white house is following is based on complete 100% lockdown protocol, as explained by the creator of the model. That's also the case with every model globally. That's why 100% complicity is required in pretty much every other hard hit country in the world besides the US.

Additionally, it is completely inaccurate to think that if Idaho was flattening the curve(and there is no evidence to suggest they have been), that a mass gathering would be ok. A single mass gathering could very easily lead to tens of thousands, if not more, new infected people. This virus is far far more contagious than a normal respiratory illness. In South Korea, due to advanced genome mapping, more than half of their 10k total cases can be directly linked to ONE person. Think about that. This Idaho gathering will be several hundred people. If this takes place, this one gathering could be directly responsible for an explosion of new cases.

I guess we'll see if Idaho spirals out of control or not.

Eh but as long as Idaho is flattening the curve there is no harm from this. These laws were designed with the fact that not everybody is going to comply 100%. If 100% complicity is needed, then they'd be much more strict.

That's why I don't have a problem with people who feel like they need social contact sooo bad that they break the rules. We are still bearing this thing despite them. At least in most States.

Meanwhile China quickly fought covid off and is helping other countries recover.

If this started in USA you'd never know until pnemonia and heart attack deaths rose to extreme numbers worldwide.

I didn't know that Trump ordered people to build huge dense cities so that people are all next to each other and that he also ordered people to go outside and not wash their hands and stuff. Interesting.
