D&D and the rising pandemic

The difference is that the Boomers are old enough to know better. The poster is literally talking about teenagers, from whom we don’t except sober judgment.

No he is talking about college students on spring break. People old enough to vote. If we cannot expect sober judgement from them, then they shouldn't be voting.

Uni students here wanted to do street parties after the PM asked for self isolation.

Now it's not so voluntary. Cops said they would break it up and uni said they would expel them.

"Can't tell me what to do"

Well actually we can.

Grand parents and great grandparents were asked (and told) to go to war.

Modern generation. Stay at home on couch.

If we required sober judgement for people to vote, we would have very very few voters.

So... no, we would not cancel our sessions.

This pandemic is a lot of media hype. I am not saying it isn't there or real, and I feel horrible for the regions affected, but media feeds into the fears of the people. I do a lot in the stock markets, and this is the kind of stuff that drives me crazy! People are stockpiling supplies like it is the end of the world.

If the news was broadcast in grayscale and not color, people wouldn't be nearly as freaked out. Consider this revised map:

No reaction, right? Could mean anything.

Now, look at site like Wikipedia even, notice how the map is just shades of red?

Our reaction is something scary is going on. According to this map, it looks like all 1 billion plus people in China are already gone!

And that causes fear and panic instead of rational reactions.

Certainly in areas where the virus is present, people need to be cautious, but media pushes it overboard in my estimation.

So, we will continue to meet to play D&D.

If we required sober judgement for people to vote, we would have very very few voters.

And we'd have vastly better policy-makers.

This isn’t necessarily true. A lot of people vacationing on Florida beaches are boomers with their families. Not just spring breakers from college. My partners dad lives on the beach in Florida. He sees all the same demographics. And the governor of Florida who refuses to shut down beaches isn’t a millennial.

Across all generations, there is a single uniting factor...

Is it that we're all Human?

No.

It's that there will always be stupid people. Amen.

No, he's just an idiot. Like the last one we had.

Mexico or Brazil? Or somewhere else?

In the heart of the moon LOL! n_n
(But really the one that means a place in the moon)

That would be mine, that one and Constitution. °u_u
