I am going to remain civil though your comment warrants otherwise. That sort of comment is uncalled for and has no place in these forums.

If it is all the same, I exposed myself to enough chemical and biological weapons for my country.

I stand by that comment and unlike the idiot internet warriors, I have no problem telling anyone what I said in person. The idea that we should let this virus run its course because it is Mother Nature is disgusting and that is what you ought to be upset about but you thought it was just fine. That's some real care about your fellow Americans there - let them die, heck, they are old or infirm, etc., so who cares about them. Don't bring in your military service to somehow make me or someone else feel like it is wrong to say your idea is disgusting because you are in the military - so was my Daddy and step-dad and a ton of other people in my family and it still didn't make them right all the time and the same is true here. We ought to have enough respect for our neighbors to respect their right to life.

Good gracious in WWII we were asked to make serious sacrifices. All we are asked here is to stay at home for 6-8 weeks and we can't even do that. Complaining because we have to stay home. The whining of Americans these days is crazy. Wasting time watching stupid Netflix and letting kids play on stupid social media instead of productively learning and using the time wisely - I never wonder why Louisiana and Mississippi are nearly always last in education.

My mother and mother-in-law are both in their 80's. I just want everyone to be as smart and as safe as possible until most dangers subside. But, you are wrong about Social Security. It is not supported by taxes. It is supported by everything those of us have paid into it for most of our lives OUTSIDE of taxes. It is OUR money already allotted for return based entirely on what we paid into it.

While you and I are in complete agreement about this virus, and how it should actually be handled, I think you missed what "The Dude" really said. He didn't merely suggest that the at risk people should self-isolate. He's saying the world is over populated (which is nonsense) and that we should just let "nature" kill the "weak", so we'll no longer be over populated. Which, again, is total nonsense, and it's kind of sick.

It's a fact, that people die in the thousands from viruses every year, because of age or preexisting conditions. And if at risk people don't protect themselves properly, they have themselves to blame, unfortunately. Which is why this whole shutdown is idiotic. But the way The Dude said it, came across as saying the more weak people that die, the better. And there is just no place for that kind of talk.
