Please tell me you don't think the Supreme Court rules based on law and not political leanings....

Also you should probably go back and understand what the ruling said.

My friend's test came back negative.  Since this is day 9 for me and I feel fine (and he's negative), I am not going to get tested.  It has been an interesting time for reflection though.

You're right...we make the mistake of responding to him.  That is our fault; allowing mitch back and allowing him to stay though is 100% on the admins.

The only complaint while mitch was gone was that this thread was less active and more boring.  Think about that for a bit...

All one has to do is look at his interaction with Wagzilla to see what mitch is all about.  If you agree with him 100%, you're gold.  If you have the nerve to disagree with him slightly, you're an idiot. 

If he wants to cry about how I treat him, that's fine.  He brings it on himself, but whatever.  Wags hasn't posted in this thread until a week or so and he got the same treatment as everyone else.  No interest in discussion; just interested in telling you how dumb you are if you don't follow him step for step.  Does any other person in this thread greet people that way?  We all might do that after interactions with people; we don't bury someone entering the discussion without hearing what they have to contribute.  Mitch's biggest problem with me politically is that because I think both sides suck equally, I don't stand for anything.  When his whole basis for discussion (and I am using that term loosely) is based on a falsehood, you get what you get here.

I don't care that he's a die hard lefty.  That's great...I have tons of friends that are.  I have tons of die hard righties too.  I view them all the same.  The extremes on both sides are so similar; yet openly mock people that act exactly the way they do.  It's painful to watch otherwise intelligent people act like 2 year olds.  So to answer your question, no, it's not possible to discuss like adults.

There are so many issues with the testing.  The length of time it takes to get results is one.  The false positives (and negatives) are a huge issue too. 

In your case at this point the test results probably don't even matter, yet it wouldn't surprise me if they force you to isolate for 14 days anyway starting whenever you get the results.  Logic hasn't exactly been the driving factor in any of this.
