I literally thought of the reasons why the first time i read about popcorn like 2 seconds after... i think they are kinda obvious If ppl learned to take a step back and tried to understand that there may be reasons for a certain decision rather than the programmed modern cultural mentality to just immediately criticize and jump to the conclusion its stupid and useless it might help people to not be so lost all the time. If u approach things u don't understand with an open mind and benefit of the doubt its usually easier to reason on the why of something than if u in ur mind already decided its just the government being dumb and dont even put an effort to understand the why Most Governments make a lot of stupid mistakes true but few governments are so incompetent that none of their laws have reasons. A lot of things that on the surface may seem to have no purpose do in fact have a purpose So think about it first and try to understand before u criticize. Ppl are way too quick to criticize everything in general these days (not just government) before understanding the facts.

When will ppl stop calling governments dictators or fascists anytime they impose rules or restrictions for our own good? If the idea of freedom is taken to the extreme that we should have no rules at all and never be told what to do then we might as well not have government at all and be a every man for himself kind of society We need structure and guidance to avoid anarchy and chaos Idk man...I just think I should have the right to floor it through a school zone. If people are so worried about their kids' safety then they should pull them out of school, don't restrict my rights! And what's with this whole "hey, you can't set my house on fire" stuff? If your fire extinguishers really work then why is my arson a problem? And it is my god given right to fire a gun straight up into the air! If you're sooooOOOOOOooo worried about the bullet coming back down then wear a helmet! Don't tell me what to do!

I was thinking this very same thing when I had to wait on a red light when light was green for flowing traffic on the otherside The government is sooooo opressive they even tell me when i have to stop my car while driving. How dare they!!!! I can drive and stop when I please. Its the other ppls problem if they arent whatching for incoming cross traffic when they approach an intersection!

No one likes to give the benefit of the doubt on anything anymore Do that in 2020, 2 years later to forbid people to drink while standing up, but ur allowed sitting down, or to forbid popcorn, it's so weird to me. Can't they see we all struggle and we are tired and exhausted, tell people to do boosters, force them if you want, but stop with little things like that, it's like finding a way to kill joy in your day to day. Not only that but the virus still circulates, and still hurts you but prevents death with vaccine, but it circulates, it will always circulate unless u do a better damn vaccine that works well. So why all these stupid small detail rules just to piss people off?? Do the basic ones, wear your mask, social distance even tho u cant do it in subways, buses, planes, or crowded areas, and the vaccine mandates. But for God sake stop with all these small little details, okay, if someone stays in a room in cinema, putting down their masks for 50 seconds to eat popcorn doesn't mean you'll catch omicron, cinemas are not ventilated anyways, no windows, and you're stuck there with people for an hour, no your little blue mask is not gonna save you from omicron, just like it won't in the subway.

Just get real a little bit u can debate and disagree on whether or not we should continue to have restrictions to reduce spread but thats kind not the point I was responding to the assertion that the policy makes no sense or is pointless i wasnt debating whether or not it should be in place And for the record article is saying they are removing that restriction so u saying 2 years in they shouldnt have it, france seems to agree with u so i dont get the complaint Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're the Ontario citizen lapping up Doug Ford's restrictions again. Get a clue, these restrictions are a failure. I hope history paints these people like the tyrants they are. I am again reminded of how blessed I am to live in America, where the President has no power to ban popcorn from the theater. You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.
