  1. And what non-subjective measure would that be based off of...?
  2. Thanks. I Googled "where did coronavirus come from" and couldn't find what they are called lol.
  3. Last I heard was "someone ate a bat". Some have said one of those sloth-looking scaled creatures scratched someone. Haven't heard the snake theory. I don't think we know where it came from (yet). Correct me if I'm wrong.
  4. (Calling a person immature because you disagree with their opinion is an ad hominem.) Does this strike you as ironic? Speculating on the maturity of someone you/others don't know, perhaps? 1 opinion does not define a person. Certainly not me, at least. Surely, I support any "dealer's" choice to refuse business to anyone for any reason. That's a free market. It's simply irrelevant to this particular discussion, and while I'm sure I'll end up unscathed, could potentially harm one's reputation simply by suggestion (despite, again, being irrelevant to this topic). I'm not going to question anyone's business integrity because they worship Jesus, for example, and I do not. It's irrelevant to said practice (unless they're putting stickers of Jesus on comic books/slabs - but that's not an indictment on the practice).
  5. I don't think s/he's baiting me - rather simply allowing emotion to cloud filter/judgment. Can't tackle the truth if you slap false labels (attention-seeking, idiotic, etc) on it and ignore it. "Ignorance is bliss" as some would say. I can agree to disagree. Could be jealousy of those without fear. I won't assume that of them, though. They have their own morals and opinions that I will not dictate for them.
  6. Your stance is ≈ as "idiotic" as mine. It depends on who values what and to what degree. They're called opinions. Attacking mine by way of name-calling just makes it seem like you cannot defend yours. It has nothing to do with attention, as I have clearly stated before. I didn't "LOL" or anything after the hyperlink. Suggesting or implying that others won't do business with me because of my ability to have free thought is entirely irrelevant. My business conduct is nothing short of excellent. Allowing emotion to cloud your judgment is in poor taste IMO.
  7. I shared information and now you're attacking me for it? Take a deep breath, dude. There's no good reason to spin this over a disagreement.
  8. Let's hope that this pandemic deters people from eating bats in the future. So, what happened? Either COVID-19 in bats wasn't contractible by humans, and it evolved when Patient 0 ate one with it, or bats never cross-contaminated air/surface often occupied/touched by humans? I think this all proves that Batman's chiroptophobia is legitimate.
  9. The fact that the tiger tested positive for COVID-19 isn't "funny" to me. It is interesting, though.
  10. If animals can contract COVID-19, then they have to follow quarantine rules too, right...? Get a litter box for your dogs, folks, or you could be complicit...
  11. Don't let your animals outside if you're afraid. No one is safe.
  12. That's incorrect, but okay. It seems that anyone you disagree with is "arguing for the sake of arguing". That's delusional. Your choices and morality are not the decree of the way life must be lived. Get over it.
  13. You're making a swift judgment about someone you don't know because you disagree with them. Hurling insults is definitely the mature way of dealing with that. I'm disappointed in your lack of self-reflection. No; I won't be in any legal trouble.
  14. Anyone potentially has anything. Relinquishing freedom because of fear sets a bad precedent. I'm free to travel as I desire, and anyone else is free to hide at home. Sounds fair to me. FYI: D2D is day-to-day. Not "door-to-door". Morality is a flaw. Getting into that discussion will certain raise the ban-hammer.
  15. You wanna go so low as attempting to insult someone because you think your opinions are the be-all end-all of any moral quandary? That's a good example of hypocrisy, man. Respectful discourse is in short supply these days. Edit: As usual, of course, the ad hominem begins when you've lost and cannot defend your perception.
  16. Fact: I don't knowingly have COVID, so the comparison is irrelevant. There's nothing to enforce. I can just tell the bois that I'm going out for a loaf of bread. Anyone can. What're they gonna do? Nothing - as they should.
  17. So... People being in public aren't putting themselves at risk...? Okay. No one's making anyone else go outside. If you're afraid - stay home. I'll continue D2D operations as I see fit.
  18. @oldrover - This guy ^ is trying to take your title...
