You're banned, but I'll respond so you can learn about reading comprehension.

I find the term "silent majority" hilarious for the reasons listed in the prior post.  I am well aware of the electoral college and how our system works, for better or worse. Those using the the "silent majority" narrative would actually be the ones unaware of the electoral system, unless of course they are sophisticated enough to be implying "a silent majority of electoral votes", which I'm willing to bet they are not, considering they hang out at rallies still chanting lock her up about the "corrupt" candidate that was already defeated 3 years ago.

Twanny you are right!  The libtards on this board have no tolerance for disagreement. They cannot take anyone disagreeing with their opinion and they are unable to think for themselves or research anything. Instead they are parrots of the MSM. They love feeling superior to free thinking individuals because they believe everything the media tells them is true. Just last week when this board said Trump made it up that he talked to the Blake family pastor. Turns out it was true!  People here even said Trump wasn’t telling the truth that he spoke to Warren?!  To all the libtards I love you. I want you to get help for your TDS. We both enjoy Michigan sports and that is a good foundation to start from to become friends, but you need to get rid of your anger and superiority complex. It’s gonna be okay and you will be so proud of your President Trump over the next 8 years. Again, I love you and goodnight.

He can do what he wants, say what he wants.

Free speech, however, doesn't mean anyone has to treat your words with respect.

The only issue here is whether he influences others to increase the chance of preventable deaths.

He was pressed for his opinion, so he gave his opinion. And he treaded with it as lightly as possible showing as much respect to those that disagree with him. He was not calling out people who wear masks or live in fear of the virus- In fact he stated he wears masks for those people out of respect.

To be honest, you couldn't possibly have a more respectful stated opinion against fearing the virus and wearing masks than he stated here. 

People get offended for practically anything and everything nowadays. Very few people know how to have a civil disagreement and show mutual respect. It's a major problem, and it's showing its dirty foot in the political game, with racial injustice issues, and in the public health arenas. We live in a free country. We are allowed to disagree on issues. Not everything is as black and white as any of us would like to believe. 

We need to learn to actually listen to what people are saying instead of finding words to be offended by and immediately categorizing people based off those words. We are all human beings. The vast majority of us are good people regardless of whatever side we fall on regarding any of these hot button issues. We just disagree. And that's OK. Learn to deal with it better and love people for who they are and not for what they believe. Because the honest truth is that every single one of us believes wholeheartedly in something that is just plain wrong - We can't possibly know 100% truth in this world, and that includes in religion, science, and politics. We need to learn to get over ourselves.

Proud of Kirk for not just stating his opinions that are generally chastised by the public but also doing it in an extemely respectful manner. This is how disagreements and differing opinions should be handled.

You mean that a healthy adult with no pre-existing conditions who is virtually guaranteed to not have any issues with COVID is simply using his head and taking a sane and rational approach to the situation?  How dare he!

Seriously, when in the hell are people going to wake up and realize that this has been desperately oversold and that logic dictates that we are going to be fine?

He's a considerate idiot, we can mock him for being dumb but at least he does the right thing for others' sake. If all the other covidiots were as considerate as him we'd be in a lot better shape.

I love how every post on this board now is a bunch of monkeys throwing poo at each other. ???. No one on here has ever changed another person’s mind on here. Yet, we keep doing it, thread after thread, myself included. ?

Alternatively, Kirk Cousins is not a dumb baby and he understands that his age and relative fitness make him just as likely to die of the flu (and much more likely to become ill due to it)
