Have any other nation’s citizens pushed back at stay-at-home orders more than Americans?

I'm proud of this country for being the most resistant to lockdowns. It is a good thing, not a bad thing, that Americans are more rebellious and independent than people in other countries.

Smart move changing the topic after you’ve thoroughly been beaten into the ground on your previous trolling.

Looking at the US media outlets vs foreign media outlets I’ve seen it seems like Americans are pushing back more at stay-at-home orders than any other country I’ve read about. There seems to be constant protests, out right defiance and just an unwillingness of law enforcement to enforce the various lockdown orders.

This is a major difference between the US and many other countries. The armed "protesters" at Michigan State House would be locked up, if not gunned down, in many places.

Those "protesters" should be grateful that our governors respect their rights.

Just because you don't like my opinion doesn't make me a troll.

Just because you fight here for freedom doesn't make you a good man.

Glad we understand.

Here are more freedom fighters. This one is from Houston, TX.

I am from New Zealand.

New Zealand is a capitalist democracy.

Our Prime Minister told us to lockdown for 4 weeks.

We locked down for 4 weeks. Nobody protested.

We have now got rid of corona.

We are now living life as normal again and only 21 people died.

You are suggesting that we should have lifted our lockdown 4 weeks ago? Then there certainly is no problem partying in large groups now.

Hi, I am writing from a barber shop in North Korea.

We are good society. We had no lockdowns and we are right next to China.

We have 0 deaths

Hi, I am writing from a packed soccer stadium in Minsk Belarus. We had no lockdowns and did not realize anything was going on. We have 100x the population of new Zealand but we only have 100 something deaths.

Hi, I am writing from my cabbage garden in Turkmenistan. We are a capitol society. What is Covid? Heard somebody from Uzbekistan died from it.

The world would have been a better place if nobody had gone to Vietnam.

3 dead in Norway last week. The country had a lot of infections in march, shut down way before Trump, and have kept it shut, about 5 infections a day now. No protests whatsoever.

There is great Universities in the states ( I guess, it is only rumours though created by the attendants), but applied science, did anyone study that?

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free-- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

The US Constitution is one of the oldest standing national constitutions in the world.

Yeah back to reality. Do some of you undergo special training to be such rebellious jerks?

Stay locked in your house, safe and warm and well fed, while getting your paycheck from your likely unimportant government job. And lecture others who don’t have that luxury.

Don’t worry about the millions out of work or the thousands of small businesses going under, because of a virus that almost exclusively is hazardous only for the old.

Don’t worry that we’ve flattened the curve already. Because you are a Democrat and you care about people!

Well put.

Paul. I have much more freedom than you.

I have free healtcare.

I have good econmy from the state if I had needed it.

I have free housing if I had needed it.

I have no dictator like Donald

I am free of Covid 19

Are you sure you are not a troll? Honestly, I have been reading this site for over four years and I think this is only the second time I have posted.

Are you a man? I am assuming so. I just had to laugh at your posts as a female. I could not imagine you being a husband. It seems to a bigger problem today finding men that are not scared of life. Maybe you haven’t had anything hard in your life? ?

Good gracious! I shook my head at your lengthy description of how you currently live your life. Good luck with all of that. Anyway, have a good night. You need a good night’s rest to keep up with your very busy schedule of keeping the invisible enemy away.

If all you received from what you read was the need to address your perception of my gender and how what I write reflects quality of manhood, then you're not part of any solution to any problem.

Your parade is going by. It has no social distancing.
