[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 717421, member: 2843"] That is impossible to argue, I guess...with no context. No one wants to die... you got me there. However, there has to be context. But I think it very interesting point to discuss philosophically. Far more important and bigger than any talk about football or economy... to me. So.. allow me to digress.... I do not want anyone to catch this virus. Personally, I am trying to be smart about staying safe. Should I contract the virus, life will go on. I will do all I can to fight it & protect those around me. Clearly the odds are...I will survive a positive diagnosis. However, I could die. I'm ready...or as ready as one can be, I suppose. At this point (for me), should I contract it... I will not blame myself, those around me, Trump, China, the state of Virginia, any protester or conspiracy theorist. I think I am armed with enough information to protect myself to max extent given the threat. No way can I eliminate the threat... no way I can expect the government or my neighbors to eliminate it. Everything we do everyday... even before this virus came along... is a decision (usually subconsciously) weighing the risk/reward... the cost/benefit... to ourselves and those around us. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to be like today. Not all of us share those same calculations; yet we have to figure out a way to operate among each other. Ok... back to college football. [/QUOTE]
