Same here.
I prefer reading your posts as opposed to the posts from people who try to make everything political.
You do an admirable job of staying above the fray even when the trolls try to pull you in.

Yup. Keep it coming.

Put me down as a fan as well. I gave up on my fellow Alabamians. There is a reason this state ranks 52nd in education.

I, for one, think jpurdue's post have been excellent, science based and without all of the drama. I feel for John and Wawi as they apparently are taking a hit in their business, but they need to get real and stop the whining which helps nothing.

Claiming I have an agenda is one. Basing your copied posts by saying you went to college and your job is such and such, another. Lots of us went to college and work. Trying to be something you are not by claiming your posts are factual, then saying I could be wrong is another. I can go on.

It's rare I use copied material. If I do I put it in quotes.

I presented my credentials so you know how I look at the world and to reinforce the fact I don't pretend to be something I'm not. I'm just an engineer, not a medical doctor. Take that for what it is.

I am sometimes wrong or make mistakes. If new data becomes available that invalidates my previously held beliefs I change my positions. I try to formulate my opinions based on the best available information. Not by what the talking heads say. Not by political affiliation. Not be upbringing. Just facts. I think that's virtuous. I posted some incorrect data on NYC a few days ago. Bigfishtx pointed it out and I acknowledged the mistake and moved on.

What I was arguing earlier in this thread is that the virus has a lipid envelope and that being outdoors is safe and healthy if appropriate precautions are taken. I'm not sure how that's a scientifically contentious position or why you decided to get all bent out of shape about it.

If Wawi owns restaurants that are currently shut down I'm sorry to hear that. If I ever get the chance I'll be sure to spend some money at one of his locations when all this finally passes.

Also, thank you to the folks who chimed in saying you find some value in my posts. I appreciate this community, and I appreciate you all saying those kind things.

Again, if social distancing is the reason my doors are basically locked why are people sitting side by side in golf carts

No whining here, it is what it is. I'll be just fine. Just seems kinda funny how they pick and choose

I want you to stop. My reason for wanting you to stop is not to point out that I think you’re wrong. My concern is that more stuff will get closed, such as boat ramps. I will buy multiple burgers from you on the other side. Don’t get the ramps closed. (I wouldn’t mind mixing in a little golf now that you bring it up.)

Lol I going fishing tomorrow

I like Mr. Josh's posts.

I like John's posts.

I relate to wawi's positions... In a roundabout way he and I are in the same business. I work for a company that sells beer, burgers and Golf! And did so in a setting that really brought people together in fun ways. As a result of this situation 98.9% of our 26k+ associates are out of a job indefinitely. They have families who depended on them.

But lining up arse to Wang at Costco to hoard stuff is in fashion, as is meeting up with 30 friends to party and picnic at local parks...that's cool.

Jury is out on senko...

SMDH

Maybe they are married and permitted to sit close?
I think you're allowed to get close to your spouse but I've been keeping 6ft away just to be safe.

I would like to add it's a bit racist to allow old white men to play golf and ride side by side in carts while at the same time they pulled all the basketball goals down in fort worth...
