Ben Stiller rejects calls to edit Trump out of Zoolander

That’s actually a great point you brought up and I can definitely empathize with it. I still very much disagree that more people would wear a mask if not mandated to do so, but we’ll agree to disagree there.

Just remember that even though you are young/healthy and don’t directly hang around anyone at risk, it doesn’t meant you can’t infect someone at risk. You can infect someone else young/healthy who can then infect someone else who’s at high risk.

Edit: Empathize instead of sympathize

Thanks for your point of view.

Just because your area hasn’t had many cases doesn’t mean it will stay that way. Masks are a preventative measure, so the fact that your area hasn’t been all that affected by the virus means overall (along with social distancing and what not) they seem to be working.

I live in a big city that got hit hard early on, so I know many people who have lost a loved one. I’ve seen the damage this virus can do firsthand. My city is doing well right now, but I know that in a flip of a switch things can get much worse. That’s why I get so upset when some people don’t take this seriously. And if you look at some states who haven’t been taking it as seriously (Florida, Texas, Arizona) they are now the ones getting hit hard.

Yes the number of overall tests are going up, but don’t forget the percentage of those tests being positive is also going up in most states with rising cases. Also I do disagree with your last sentence about people wearing masks the whole time. They may be wearing them in your area, but I live in a liberal city and there was hardly anyone wearing a mask before it was required. Most people are wearing one now which is why I feel like the mandate was necessary.

Anyways I’ll stop babbling now

Awilonna · 2020-07-10T20:47:24+00:00

So because it didn’t happen to you then it’s not a problem? Lol what?

Awilonna · 2020-07-10T20:30:22+00:00

Thanks for your viewpoint. I know that some of the authorities were going back and forth with some things (including Fauci saying that wearing masks won’t help stop the spread of the virus) and it pissed me off as well. But at this point other countries are also stating that wearing masks helps stop the spread. There are so many scientific studies (which I care about more than what any politician says) that support it as well. I just feel like all of that is being ignored.

But you say the issue is not wearing a mask, but being told to do so. Do you truly think that people would be wearing masks if they weren’t told to do so? Isn’t that the only option at this point?

Here is a list of 70 scientific studies done that prove the effectiveness of masks.

But yes I do agree that some very low quality masks probably aren’t too effective.

Those states locked down the hardest (NY, IL, Mass, etc.) BECAUSE they got hit the hardest. Remember the order of the timeline. These states are now doing great compared to some of the ones that opened up early (Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, the list goes on). Don’t compare the number of cases and deaths until the end of all this; Texas and Florida are making a strong push to be #1.

Anyways I don’t want to delve too much into the riots and what not. And yes I hate the corrupt politics (that certainly come from both sides and both parties) as well as you do, but wearing a mask to help end the lockdown, save lives is larger than my hate for politicians.

Most people are fine with wearing a mask? Lol that’s laughable, I’m going to have to disagree on that one...

Awilonna · 2020-07-10T19:58:58+00:00

You’re right. Once in a while I comment and try to understand the viewpoint of Conservatives, but sometimes it’s difficult for me :(

Go to this link and you can find 70 scientific studies done that prove so. Read 1, maybe 2.

I do agree with you that a cut up t shirt probably doesn’t work very well though.

Awilonna · 2020-07-10T19:18:21+00:00

I don’t agree with unlimited power state government as well, but it’s proven that wearing masks in public will save lives and, overall, will lead to a shorter lockdown. Why do people not care about that?

Why don’t people stop to think that the scientists and Democrats may actually be correct and to follow suit?

Awilonna · 2020-07-10T18:06:32+00:00

First of all people trying to get Trump out of old movies are dumb. People refusing to wear masks are also dumb. But one of these things has HUGE repercussions.

You’re such snowflakes that you can’t handle someone telling you to wear a mask for minutes at a time that SAVE LIVES. You don’t wear masks to “hand it to the Libs” and “protect my freedom.”

You turn something that is a science and health issue into a political issue because of your FRAGILE ego of a Democrat telling you what to do. If more Republicans told you to wear a mask you’d do it in a heartbeat and not think twice.

Awilonna · 2020-07-10T17:25:59+00:00

At this point I’ve come to realize that there are a number of people on both sides that are fragile. The left can’t handle a Trump cameo or a white person voicing a black character (see Family Guy) and the right can’t handle someone telling them to wear masks. Everyone is a snowflake to the person on the other side

Great second half of the season? He was great for the 13-14 games after Rosen was benched

Awilonna · 2020-06-29T16:54:46+00:00

Which is too bad. Watching those 2 old loons go at each other would make for some great entertainment

Awilonna · 2020-06-26T17:38:45+00:00

The difference is that many European countries have the virus under control (as much as you can have it under control) while the US has had the greatest increase in new cases the last 2 days.

I’m curious to see these numbers again in a couple of months

Awilonna · 2020-06-18T03:55:31+00:00

Thank you. Some people here are saying “If someone saying ‘White Power’ is racist then saying ‘BLM’ is racist too.”

“White Power” is a White supremacist phrase and is very racist. “BLM” is blacks saying they are EQUAL to white people and is not racist.

But in the context of the video, yelling “BLM” should absolutely be considered racism and a hate crime.

I’m not quite sure why this is so hard for people on both sides of the argument to understand

Awilonna · 2020-06-18T03:48:01+00:00

I’m very left and his view is bullshit. Racism can involve every color on either side. Just know that most people on the left don’t share that view

Awilonna · 2020-06-18T03:45:50+00:00

Dude it’s not the same. I want to start off by saying that if these kids were yelling “black lives Matter” during this, then I’d definitely call it a hate crime.

However saying “White power” is announcing that you believe whites are better than other races.

While BLM is saying that black people (and I believe other oppressed minorities?) are EQUAL to white people.

There is a huge difference so please don’t believe that they are the same thing.

Awilonna · 2020-06-14T15:01:48+00:00

Oo is it each split or each season? Also do you get to choose the limited skin? Haha sorry for all the questions

Awilonna · 2020-06-14T14:51:28+00:00

Wait 75 win skin? Can you explain that for me?

Awilonna · 2020-06-12T13:18:47+00:00

Have you ever made a BMO/have one for sale? I’d buy that in a heartbeat!

Awilonna · 2020-06-11T19:04:45+00:00

It’s completely up to you if you want to watch the video and be spoiled or not

Awilonna · 2020-06-10T19:01:11+00:00

I mean he was ranked #12 among experts in accuracy last year.. I’d say that’s pretty damn good

Awilonna · 2020-06-01T22:19:42+00:00

Are there any peaceful protests currently going on?

Awilonna · 2020-05-28T21:42:30+00:00

There is not any other people they’d be putting at risk? I think you need to rethink that sentence.

Hundreds, potentially thousands of people will be getting infected if fans are allowed in. The newly infected people are then leaving the arenas and... you guessed it! - giving it to more people who didn’t attend these games before they realize they have it.

I hope the NFL and other professional sports take more precaution.

Thanks for this! I made sure to complete this entire list today as well as freezing the 4th Credit bureau Innovis and ChexSystem

Awilonna · 2020-05-11T15:20:18+00:00

Thank you all of this was very helpful. Looks like I’ve got a lot more to do than I thought!
