Social distancing vs Prayer

[arewethereyet]

I bet ya never saw somebody talking about those idiots in "Murica".

I wonder if we'd see the same peacock display of butthurt.....

I know you talk about some people in America being idiots. But ... you also made this thread as well, where you singled out Pakistan as a big bad culprit behind the worsening of this crisis, ignoring several other examples in other countries such as the USA. Your excuse was "that's the first one I saw in the news" so all the more reason to think you weren't just innocently stating an example among many.

One example in Australia, a beach got closed very recently because a large gathering of people were there despite the warnings not to gather in large numbers. And some people are still complaining about that, saying it's a "sacred" place for them and it shouldn't have been shut down. So here from examples like this, it seems more the issue that many people in general have a problem with having their freedoms being restricted (religious or otherwise), even when it's for the greater good (and especially if the threat isn't that clear to them anyway).

We get it.

All would have been fine if OLB had posted about every large gathering on the entire fucking planet that has happened since it became apparent that social distancing was the best way to try to lessen its impact.

Orrrrrr...if someone (nearly anyone) else had posted the link to the article.

Will you or Bri be claiming #Pakistanmatters?
