Members of communities. 21 minutes ago, bucketfoot said: You take that away by imposing fascistic regulations like the threat of perfectly law abiding citizens not being allowed to go to a public event unless they acquiesce to you injecting them with whatever and you're on a very slippery slope indeed. Its the companies free will to do so. It doesn't impact anyone's freedom, as you allude to by saying you'd opt out. I also think its the right thing to do. And I think I have a fairly solid logic. Like, UK is on lock down currently, right? If you had been vaccinated, you wouldnt be on lock down. So this possible method that LN is considering is in no way different than today's reality. 21 minutes ago, bucketfoot said: Me taking that particular stance isn't going to affect anyone but me as I would simply choose not to go rather than bow to that kind of bullshit. I can respect that. I suppose that the personal decision to not attend is a bit separate from the argument as to why its said to be wrong of LN. 21 minutes ago, bucketfoot said: It does, however, boil my piss to think that some weak-willed twat would even consider allowing themselves to be harpooned against their better judgement simply because they are itching to see fucking Michael Bolton or some other bollocks. I mean, this is a hypothetical about a hypothetical but Im sure that some consumers might do just as you say. Im not convinced that they would be putting themselves at risk by getting vaccinated though (but that's a different discussion). But Michael Bolton can only play if he sells the 'break even' amount to stage a tour. If people agree with you, this is actually a situation of direct democracy, not fascism, where the masses could dictate their will by refusing to attend shows.

I have the Motley Crue festival in August and KISS in October in large Texas venues so I would feel confident if all the fans had a vaccination for the corona virus. Hopefully by these concerts everyone will be able to get a safe covid vaccine. Otherwise, I was going to see how things were by these concerts and decide then. The news has said some volunteers have gotten the two virus vaccinations and have felt good so far. Hopefully, this vaccine will work for all of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Gotta agree with @soonon this. If you don't want to be involved in this, then you're going to sit concerts out. Seems pretty simple to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanna do certain things, get vaccinated or stay out. In a way understandable, in a way fucked up. To force people through the back door to subject themselves to a new and (longtime) untested vaccination. Yeah. The next thing is travelling. People who are scared should get vaccines and then they will be safe and happy. Leave everyone else alone... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an immune system as does everyone else in the community. If others are suitably afraid of a virus that they wish to be vaccinated, that's absolutely fine, good luck to them... but those that choose not to should not have restrictions put on them or be punished in any way for not doing so. Trying to force compulsory vaccination through things such as this would amount to fascism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are advocating putting restrictions on men and women who have committed no crime, done no harm to their fellow men and women, simply because they don't feel the need to be vaccinated against a virus that has a high percentage to not trouble them in the slightest. Vaccination must always be voluntary and not by coercion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the fuck is that choice? "nazis" lol. I have to laugh at how often that term gets thrown around when it doesn't apply in any way. It's your right to not get a vaccination. However, one of many side effects of your decision is not being allowed to go to concerts. So you're making a choice and you don't like the consequences of the choice you're making. That's not anyone's fault but yours. No one is holding you back from anything other than you as a direct result of a choice you are making for yourself.

Because being black isn't a choice. Refusing a vaccine is a choice. The fact that you don't like the possible consequences of your own choice doesn't make anyone else a nazi.

I'm sure, you can think of consequences in life, which you too, will find unacceptable. I find the decision not to allow people to a concert, unacceptable.
