Back to business by Easter

And as you pointed out( others have noted )... A few others, AND There are 3 times as many that agree with me and have not posted. Just like the 2016 Election when Hillary was SURE to become the next President. How did that work out for you guys? There are always 2 sides to every opinion.

My point on your posts was not based on politics or popularity--it was strictly personal. Personal in the sense that you insult people with nothing behind you but some sort of deep amorphous rage. Just for example--it is wrong to assert that everybody from Mass is less kind to strangers than those from NH (you've done this two or three times now).

On the political front, you'll notice that I have not asked other Republicans to stop posting, and that I acknowledge when they make reasonable points. This Maxum post is just one example--I disagree vehemently with his position, but he did make a damn good point. It's too bad that you missed it

I've never blocked anyone but I'm going to block this guy! Just don't want to read his BS.

Yet !! True. They don't follow your left leaning agenda, however they are true. SO, Did you try and be nice to a total stranger today? I sincerely doubt you did. Mass people are just like that.
If the shoe fits??

Dude - relax. 'Mass people are just like that'? Really???? So, it's not pigeon-holing if they're all really like that, right? I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to cut you off. In the meantime, take a deep breath and get a hold of yourself.

You just gave him a New Yorker to target, stand back... :fire:

I am confused. Didn’t our president limit activity with social distancing guidance? Didn’t the governor of NH limit business activity? Also, didn’t our president and our congress just give the biggest welfare package in history? I am not seeing this as a liberal handouts or a grab of personal freedom.

If you or a family member was laid off, I feel sorry for them. The economy has been propped up by the government for a long time and it was bound to happen at some point. Check the relief package for money you can get from the government. Also, check with the company that laid you off because if they had less than 500 employees, they can still make payroll through June 30th up to annual salaries of $100k per employee through the relief package.

My opinion is that this is all because testing failed and it was not taken seriously by most people from the get go. When it gets to NH, most resources in the country will be depleted. So, NH will not be immune.

Telling out of state home owners to stay in their home states is taking away personal freedom. And, no state or individual has any right to do that. My opinion is that the spread will occur regardless of out of state home owners. The spread will occur because disease spreads and people move from state to state for many things, including deliveries of supplies.

I am one county away from NYC and I am NOT going to my lake house. I am staying here because (1) NY will be over it by the time it peaks in NH and (2) NH in the spring is the worst time to be in NH.

I agree. It would not surprise me if the powers in charge decide he has worn out his welcome. And then Poof! Never heard from again!

Did you say Hello to a total stranger today TiltonBB ? If you did, did it make you feel any better or are you still a Bitter person?

There are some hard feelings here about people from Massachusetts. We were summer people in the 1950s and the 1960s from Massachusetts, until my parents retired in 1972. Back then, there was so much lakefront available that locals sometimes would buy it for a dollar an acre just so they could log it. People never thought that the lake would ever be this developed.

I think there was a lot of resentment back then when some of the locals realized that out of staters saw the value in the lake that they didn’t. A lot of people like my parents from Massachusetts bought land and it was a very good investment!

I remember back in the 1960s when lakefront was selling for $100 a foot. Locals laughed in my father’s face when he was buying large chunks of property.

[MAXUM]

That is such a Foolish question. Not quite sure how anyone with any intelligence could ask that question. Just boggles a mind. Just plain WOW...

Actually it is a fair and legitimate question based on my response. I see it perfectly fair to question one's consistency in taking a certain position whether you happen to agree with it or not. In no way was it personal or inappropriate considering the context.

I may not agree with anything Biggd or others believe in regards to politics or this virus situation- but I certainly respect their opinions. I can't say as much for you.

I say put FLL and lakeporter65 in a room for 14 days and see what happens! :eek:

Now that I think about it- include Major!

Another informative press conference featuring Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci. It’s a no BS
data-driven session. Stay at home, mind your business, avoid groups, and hope for the best. Also....avoid slinging arrows at people with whom you disagree....
that’s imperative!

They are just proving my point.

This is going to be a rough two week period or maybe even three weeks. It is absolutely critical for the American people to follow the guidelines. It’s a matter of life and death.

Absolutely! It is deader than dead down here on Florida’s west coast...restaurants, bars, beaches, pools, almost everything....CLOSED. People seem to be taking it all seriously .....very little traffic. It’s no fun, but well worth the effort if the damage done by the pandemic can be mitigated. We’ll have to wait and see. 🤞

I can tell you on my way to work this week the volume of traffic on the roads has slightly increased. Why? Dunno - have some had enough and are starting to return to a normal routine or is there a legit reason for it?

Every day on my way home I am seeing more out of state plates headed into NH, beyond the typical mix of MA plates, I'm talking CT, NY, NJ, RI and beyond.

Put up a road block, built with huge 100-year old pine trees, blocking Rt 93 between Methuen Ma and Salem NH, at the state border, and start hitting out-of-stater's with a big, fat NH entry fee based on what car they is driving ..... economy - regular - luxury ...... say $1000 - $5000 - $10000.

This next one here ...... it looks like an Audi ....... well, hellooooooooo! .... :laugh:

If they are driving an older Scionn XB, a little smashed up, what do you think? Give them a sympathy card and a few dollars to help them along their way?

Yesterday, Dr. Birx tells CDC Director:

"Coronavirus mortality numbers are inflated by as much as 25%." :eek2:

I know I will regret this...but if you really read the link, it does not say what you are claiming. As with most distorted reports/conspiracy theories, there is a kernel of truth but the insinuations lead to distortions and erroneous conclusions.

I can’t find a direct quote attributed to the doctors...but I would opine it is taken out of context if one exists.

This is not limited to either right or left wing distortions. But, in this case it is right wing.

This deliberate disinformation virus is more dangerous, in the long run, than Covid.

Finally, I am not saying the poster does not believe it and that is the problem. We believe what we wish to believe...but that does not make it true.

I couldn't find a direct quote attributed to the doctors, either. Apparently, their online product was slow to come out. However, by Monday, several online sources mention the Washington Post. :confused:

The "outburst" was on Wednesday. Was one of the "unnamed sources"— quoted by the Washington Post—the Gateway Pundit?

Today, there's another reference:
