Not 100% sure but I think ishoot308 said something like this in a previous post;

This horse has been beaten to death.

Please give it a rest!


The utter nonsense I have seen on both sides of this matter really makes me wonder how humans survive on a daily basis except that our breathing is automatic.

Clearly politics are a critical part of most posters perspective and utterly disgustingly so as the political digs are strategically planted in so many posts.

What little science that is being quoted or referenced is usually twisted beyond recognition.

I see the most bizarre concepts at work is if they were a reality (like beating or killing the virus as opposed to slowing the spread).

And what is mostly lacking is balance, common courtesy, the notion of taking personal responsibility for yourself, and respecting others decisions about their choices.

This endless and nonsensical banter is almost worse than the discussions about our politicians.

At this point I wouldn't dream of actually commenting on anything substantively related to this matter, or god-forbid my own opinion or preference. It would be an invitation to a public beating, regardless of what side of the matter I was on.

I'm beginning to think these exchanges are the new form of backyard fights from my childhood. We really haven't grown up, we just switched fists and wrestling in the dirt for typing insults and nonsense.

It must be a human craving to argue, one that if you have it, you rarely grow out of, like a sweet tooth or other compulsive behaviors.

Sure hope we find a better subject to debate, like Nitromethane vs Cam 2 or anything with a better outcome than this,,,
