"forgive them for they know not what they do."

and at the same time, he would say "god why hast thou forsaken me?"

and he would also be thinking, "ffs smh"

Ok, I will gladly, as always, show my lack of intelligence...

What does "ffs smh" indicate ?

Just got a PM with an explanation. I got it and agree. Wondered how he handles the liars when they consistently say its them being picked on or refers HIM to a website of a questionable nature !

I find that a bit inconsiderate of our fellow human beings.

I've been fully vaccinated but not everyone that wants to has been able to. Once you are vaccinated, you can still contact the virus and spread it. In light of that, I will continue to wear a mask and distance myself while indoors in public places. I do this not for me but for those around me.

I will not however fall for the hysteria that seems to be around about people outdoors. From the beginning Dr Fauci and other leading experts have agreed that the chances of contracting this virus outdoors is pretty close to zero. I think that there has been a big learning curve for Fauci and other experts but they have been consistent on this point from day one. Why they continue to insist on people wearing masks outdoors is beyond me. It's probably that they are trying to get people to be super, super careful and they want to cover their butts in the event that someone does catch it while outdoors.

I don't wear a mask out doors because it seems to me to be absurd. I know that a large number of people have gotten this virus and a large number have died from it but in terms of percentages the numbers are really very low. The chance of catching Covid is very low to begin with and the chance of catching it outdoors is very close to zero.

For the last time (but I doubt it will be the last time), NO YOU CAN'T

At this point, with vaccines getting thrown away because they expire, Anyone who wanted to get vaccinated has been vaccinated.

I, as well, find it absurd that vaccinated people should wear masks to protect people who refuse the vaccination.

CDC wants Vaccinated people to wear a mask incase they come in contact with an anti-vaxxer who might spread it?

Crazy.

If you are an anti-vaxxer and have Covid, all you spread it to is ANOTHER anti-vaxxer.

You made your choice to not be protected. You can pay the price.

Once again, THANK YOU for repeating it. Apparently, those that say they believe in science, do not believe it enough to have confidence in it. I hope you will not get tired of repeating the message. Maybe we can get on with life once they start listening.

I do agree with you and have said all along that I will not protect anti-vaxxers, non - vaxxers, anti- Covid vaxxers, and non-Covid vaxxers. Having said that, are you absolutely sure everyone who wants the vaccine has gotten their vaccine? I don't want to unmask until I'm very sure of that.

I must say that I'm seeing more and more customers entering local retail stores and restaurants without masks. The employees are still masking but I would imagine that is because their employers mandate them to be masked. I'm going to wait it out some more time to unmask.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the people who are opting not to get the vaccine are not the people who are still demanding that people wear masks nor are they expecting anyone else to protect them.

hey - I agree! But It seems like everywhere I go I see 'Covid-19 vaccine now available with no appointment'. At the V clinic. there were 8 nurses on their phones and one guy getting a vaccination and they were getting ready to throw away the day's supply of Pfizer - about 200 doses...

They are begging people to get vaccinated. At this point it is personal choice. But I'm patient. I just hope people come to their senses so the number of funerals drop as people realize vaccination is the only way to get protection...

Just got a PM with an explanation. I got it and agree. Wondered how he handles the liars when they consistently say its them being picked on or refers HIM to a website of a questionable nature !

I spend half my life (bit of hyperbole) looking up these social media short cuts. Now when I see the ones I'm used to, it is just like reading the actual words. Am I regressing to a teenager??? I doubt it!!!

I know what you mean. As someone who takes lying and enabling of liars (for any reason) to be serious, I often think what these folks believe will happen when they "face the music". Do they really think that pushing lies and liars will set well with HIM. .do they not know HE looks into your soul, so he knows, and I see no way out for them.

Then add the lies surrounding this pandemic, most pushed by the same folks, and you must then pray for their salvation frankly.

Too serious ? Ok, but gotta brush up on the new shorthand.

I play MUDs with around 200 other players ranging in age between 18 and 59 (I'm the oldest at 60, effective tomorrow). The average player is in his/her 30's. So I'm around this jargon ALL THE TIME. idk but u get used 2 it after awhile

I'm not quite sure what your response means to my comment about "social media short cuts". I was talking about the short cut for "ffs smh". LOL. I did not refer to anything regarding lies or what ever else you said in your response to me.

I was just making a joke and quipping about the social media short cut slang stuff. LOL.

OK....you got me now. What is MUDs? Is this what you are referring to?

MUD - Wikipedia

So sorry to the OP for going OT.
