Well sure. But what is the mask issue about to you?

Control.

Mandating you wear a mask in public is....?

Yes. If I say “no” they don’t want to just deny me service (that’s reasonable) they want me@in jail

People have been arrested for hanging out in the park

Is it a public park?

What they’re telling us is “if we are afraid, we can spend your liberty instead of ours”

Do you think you should be able to walk nude in a public park?

I have conservative friends who choose to stay away from people. That’s totally fine

Indecency laws exist, at least in part, because it’s too hard to punish sex offenders in real time.

Wait, being naked is not a sex offense.

If you walk around naked and a sicko tries to rape you, the police need to get involved... so you can’t walk around naked. It’s preventative

No one said rape bud.

Being alive isn’t a crime

Well you did

I’m explaining why we have laws that are preventative

How about you answer the questions that I ask?

We impose indecency laws to prevent crime. We make it a crime because it leads to crime that we can’t protect reasonably

Being outside with my friends isn’t a crime, bud

I did answer it. Sorry you don’t understand

This is a yes or no.
Do you think you should be able to walk nude in a public park?

I’m not comparing public indecency to wearing masks

Holy crap dude.

Try a new analogy

No thanks.

They are dissimilar.

I feel this would be a great voice chat!

Hey Malachi, do you think I should be able to just walk over to your house and burn it down?

No.

See that was easy.

Yes because it was silly. You, unfortunately, are not being silly with your comparison. You think it’s a good comparison.

Malachi, what are people allowed to do freely?

You're sill :Tee hee: ☺️

Many things, but be more vague, it'll help.

Do they need your permission?

who and what?

To be free

Eh?

I have a dentist appointment, ttyl. I’m sick of all these justifications for tyranny though

Cooperation is not tyranny.

Tyranny! Freedom! Have you considered acting?
