Ah, the old Vaccine thread question where I used to take on all comers.

We were always just a good pandemic from MANY more people seeing things my way.

That is a good question...

That was your same stance with your former bike shop, and then you complained how you can't find an adequate replacement. Because of a 50 cent mask policy you can't accept. How can you have so little respect for the health and well-being of others?

Cutting off your nose to spite your face doesn't make sense. And getting your dander up about this is laughable, but sad.

You've got it all wrong, as usual. I had a mask on at the bike shop. That didn't stop them from treating me like a leper. Why would I do business with someone who has such little respect for me? And if the vaccines work, how does my medical status affect the health and well-being of others? Those are the questions you should be asking. Unless of course, you just want to beef with me. Which is okay too. That's one of the things this board is good for.

You have no idea what got that banned. And you have expressed an odd desire to prove what you don't know.

That would be a fair question to ask the City and State given some of the current restrictions. Now, most of those restrictions should disappear in about ten days so it should be water under the bridge soon. That doesn't make your question invalid though.

Still, how can you fault a place of business for taking steps that their city deems necessary to operate at 100% capacity right now?

I do want to say though, that private businesses have been inquiring about health status of customers for years. I can probably think of other examples but at my day care, for my kids, prior to enrollment we needed to provide: statement from physician that child can attend the program, all immunization records, and updated immunization records, and then reams of medical information to allow them to return to the school if they have been sent home with an illness.

I'm guessing that's been going on longer than my kids have been in daycare, and we haven't been forced to show our banker a rectal scan when we go in there to rent out a safe deposit box.

Because it isn't the thing that fits their politics and they need to be victims?

I noted here in March of 2020 how the fear that the hysteria raised had affected me. I got fully vaccinated in April and it reduced my remaining anxiety over it to some extent. And if I were to go into a private business that mandated a certain policy to protect the health of the employees and their patrons it helps further. Maybe it's just the lingering effects of the hysteria and stupidly displayed, but at this point I still look for if and find your objections puzzling, especially after your hyperbolic statements starting with your mother in law.

That's a fair point, Frank, if- as I pointed out above- the place of business were taking a conciliatory stance with the customers it was excluding rather than using a policy to shame them and promote a medical procedure. You showed that terse sign as evidence they were doing that, but to me it read like, "HEY, YOU DON'T LIKE IT? CALL THE CITY." and when taken along with the clearly pro-experimental vaccine language used by the employees and the accepted customers, well, it's obviously not a place I'm interested in patronizing.

Is that an unfair opinion? Perhaps. But I do find it odd that in a place where people often call for others to die and mercilessly attack the looks of others, I'm somehow the poster boy for anger. It's actually kind of funny when you think about it.

Are you confusing me with someone else? I don't think I ever mentioned my mother-in-law. But I will say that she's 92 years old and the lack of human contact she was allowed over the past year has clearly and obviously contributed to her mental and emotional decline. She never caught cold though!

There's a business in California that has a sign on their door informing customers that they'll have to pay a $5 surcharge (that will go to charity) if they order their meal while wearing a mask.

it's nonstop whining and crying. this place was mean to me. that place was mean to me. the made up hot dog vendor is mean to me. waaa waaa waaa

it's incredible. everyone is somehow the asshole except you. you're a grown ass man throwing temper tantrum everywhere.

grow up or go find a guardian who can keep you tantrums in check. it's exhausting reading your trash. at least allow us to mute/foe your garbage posts.

This is fair as well. Maybe part of the reason for their sign/policy was political. I don't really know, and neither does anybody else outside of the owners of the place. I'm just saying that given the rules that Chicago had in place for bars/restaurants over Memorial Day weekend, its hard to fault them for doing what they had to do if they wanted to operate at full steam. Obviously MANY other places chose to operate at lesser capacities. Should we be trashing those business owners as well?

MANY stores, maskless. Sox/Cubs games, 20K+ fans every day. Parks wide open. Outdoor markets wide open. Beaches and the Lakefront wide open. You can easily do more than yell at others to look around. MANY are actively participating in a life that is mostly the same as it was during the summer of 2019.

I don't think it's about the greater good. It's about having a business run at maximum capacity. Also understanding that implementing a policy like this will get snowflakes to complain and drive more business to your establishment. It's smart in pretty much every way unless your business is in a Trump Cult area.

Imho it's about both. And quite honestly if I were still a lounge patron and in the area, I'd patronize that place just because of the contrived outrage on display here

Are you serious? You really lack self-awareness. The post I'm responding to is a bigger temper tantrum than I've ever thrown in my life, including when I was five years old.

How about if you just find somewhere else where you can read stuff you like? Because, you know what? Now I am angry. I'm supposed to provide a message board for assholes like you to insult me? Go fuck yourself.

I would like to put Seacrest on ignore. Then I would tell him everyday how I have him on ignore.

I'll try to "under" it. The depth of the argument from the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion crowd is: You are angry. You are crazy. You are a burrito/pussy/bitch.

It's quite intimidating to be called out by the person bemoaning the loss of LTG once again this weekend. I await your next set of cliches from the streets, which work on lieu of evidence when making any claim.
