We aren't going to tolerate bratty opinions on here acting like this virus hasn't already killed 65k+ people and counting in the US. We aren't going to take seriously your petty demands for Starbucks when that's literally the last thing we should be focusing on. Black and brown communities are struggling to fight off this virus due to the lack of health coverage and attention from politicians and negligent folks like you. And tbh, their lives are more important than your iced coffees... The fact that you act like this lockdown as some sort of oppression of your Starbucks intake is one of the most privileged things I have ever heard. We are on lockdown to bend the curve and help out medical professionals on the frontlines. We continue to see tens of thousands of new cases every day as well as thousands of deaths. So don't sit there and tell us that this is some agenda to keep you from your Starbucks. What's in it for us? Idk, maybe the well-being of those most at risk? Not having this virus kill 100k more people if we hadn't taken precaution. We don't need to find new reasons to tell people to stay home or at least practice social distancing when outside. We have already known these reasons since March. And it doesn't take much brain power to do so. Stop downplaying this virus as if it won't affect you or your loved ones. This incessant need to ignore this whole pandemic for a $4 cup of coffee is pathetic. Honestly, stop with this BS. This lockdown was NECESSARY. What's it gonna take for people to get that? Jesus. The entitlement, the privilege, the selfishness... I can't. Why don't you think of all the medical professionals for one damn second? Not to mention our PLANET, which is finally breathing a bit for the first time in probably centuries. Honestly, people only think about their damn selves and I'm sick of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between that and the Starbucks joke, I can absolutely understand why someone might have a couple grievances with the way this post was being presented. I don't think that anyone should be rude to each other at all, but @Florinquite literally tried to dismiss/undervalue the opinions of others before anyone even had the chance to respectfully disagree with them. Therefore, acting as though you guys did nothing to instigate a discussion filled with unrest is simply false. Florin and Maleficent are posting link after link engaging in rational discussion with the exception of a couple offhand comments, and they get told to “gain some maturity”. But the people who post worthless replies like “stupid” and “ignorant mess” are totally fine and in the right? That ain’t it reality’s tight if the music is right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ain’t it I just said that I don't think that ANYONE should be rude here at all (including those insulting you guys), however OP absolutely did not start out with any sort respect for other people who may have had differing opinions either.

That wasn’t even mentioned and suddenly lockdown Is to heal the earth? No, sorry that isn’t what is happening. The earth is healing, great! But that’s not why we are in lockdown. And guess what, humans will go back to destroying it soon. The martyrs and SJW of GGD are in full form on this thread. You’d think you guys are single handedly saving the world from your keyboard.

While I can understand why you can interpret my comment in a bad way, you also have to ignore the rest of the exchanges here to remain to that original bad impression. And that comment, while maybe shouldn't have been made in this thread, comes as a result of other exchanges where the lack of antibodies studies was used by other users as a reason for continuing the lockdowns. As u can see in this thread, almost no lockdown supporter, including the ones who previously attacked me for saying that antibodies always work in a way or another, didnt talk about the article, which in a way shows that my comment wasnt out of place.
