The government making me wear a seatbelt and underwear and telling me I can't have a 300lb pet gorilla is just one step away from a dictatorship

[dalinkwent]

When you throw around a word like “dictatorship”, but you’ve never bothered to learn what the term actually means.

[alanrosenthal]

If he ever needs surgery I hope his doctors don't wear masks. Its their right, isn't it?

[joestaples]

People who thought the "potential side effects" of wearing a peace of fabric on your face, is a greater threat to your health than a known deadly virus, are beyond help

[Julesybabes]

"obviously" "you know" "at the end of the day" "I mean, look" "actually" "basically" Clearly a man with a very clear and logical thought process.

I wish the host would bring his show to the U.S. He does an extremely well job with keeping his guest on topic.

"The long term ramifications of wearing masks"....ask all the surgeons who wear them daily.

Zero ramifications.

As someone who has lived in japan for a long time, for years and years I see people of all ages wearing masks and I can genuinely say masks have no long term effect on health. It’s bonkers

[trishayamada]

It’s incredible the surgeons who preformed my child’s 12 hour surgery survived while wearing a mask. It’s a miracle! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

People enjoy living in a society, but feel they have no obligations to that society!

[eddyrunip]

I could feel a dictatorship looming when we were told to sneeze in a tissue and put it in the bin

[leomcdonnell]

“We’ve never had to do this in history!”
Nobody show this guy all those pictures of people wearing masks in 1918, his brain might break

[seanwilliams]

I remember when they made us wear seat belts, my "FREEDOM" to be thrown through a windscreen.

[curtisthomas]

Forgetting that 100 years ago, not "hundreds and thousands", people had to wear masks during the "Spanish flu" pandemic, so it's NOT the first time.

[thefaithslayer]

It is absolutely fascinating how people can develop such a passionate opinion on topics they know little to nothing about.

[equious]

I've grown to appreciate James' approach to these crazy people. He asks poignant questions that really draws the rationale of these people into question.

[Hairyjon]

“For thousands of years people haven’t worn masks.” Lot of them didn’t wear clothes or shoes either. Probably should look into that.

[TheLancer]

It seems like most adults are like children, they don’t like being told what to do or they’ll throw a tantrum.

[oldepersonne]

Also, during the 1917 Spanish Flu everyone was expected to wear masks, including children.

We need more people like James in North America.
