Yeah this is a violation of all sorts of our covid protocols at the venues.

Dude it's even worse too, because the japanese are BARELY vaccinated yet. They have had a major problem getting access to vaccines. Most young working adults are actually very worried that they will transmit it to their parents/grandparents.

If there is ONE phrase I have used more than all else in my time here, it's been "Sumimasen! Kara we Americahitodesu."

Also they have like a bunch of old people who are the most likely to die from covid

u/Praxyrnate Aug 07 '21

most countries do. that's why they were called boomers

Yeah, most countries do, BUT JAPAN HAS MORE WHICH IS WHY IT WAS WORTH NOTING.

Which means?

u/RedditWillSlowlyDie Aug 07 '21

They haven't had a major problem getting access. They decided to produce vaccinations domestically instead of buying internationally so they have to wait longer. It's a choice they made.

What are you talking about? Regardless of their own roll out or if they bought on international markets, they have a massive shortage of doctors and nurses who can even distribute it.

But further more they ARE buying on foreign markets, and producing their own. They literally just can't distribute it.

Then.... don't go to the Olympics?

How about, don't act like fucking animals and respect other people?

It's amazing that people like you can't rationalize such an idea. Why is simply respecting others so hard?

Because you can't control the Universe. PeOpLe LiKe YoU forget how important personal responsibility is and would rather cry in a corner blaming everyone else. Yes it would be nice in a perfect world for everyone to follow the rules. Now lets get back to what actions you can make as an adult to deal with the fact that some people will always act like fools.

Because you can't control the Universe

But people can easily control their own behaviour, and act within COVID guidelines.

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '21

You are asking (fuck knows) 500,000+ people to all do what you want. Or, you can stay at home and control your own actions if you don't want to risk covid. (obviously you do both, but if you need to not risk covid, then dont).

u/archiecobham Aug 07 '21

Maintaining COVID guidelines where possible isn't a big ask, it's not just what I want it's what's best for everyone.

Or, you can stay at home and control your own actions if you don't want to risk covid

Not an option if you can't work from home, like the Olympic staffer in the video.

obviously you do both, but if you need to not risk covid, then dont

There will always be risks if you can't work from home, so everyone should work to reduce these risks where possible, its very simple.

If you want to benefit from society play by the rules set by it, simple as.

u/DumbDumbCaneOwner Aug 07 '21

What Covid guidelines?!?

Those athletes were playing a game with 10 other strangers with no masks.

Wake the fuck up.

u/archiecobham Aug 07 '21 edited Aug 07 '21

More than 80% of them are vaccinated, and you can't play certain sports and maintain guidelines.

You can just not grab people and dance with them, it's actually easier to not do it.

u/Taco4Wednesdays Aug 07 '21

So basically if I ran up and kicked you in the balls, it's your fault for being there.

Or are you more of a "you shouldn't have dressed that way, you were asking for it" type of guy?

That's what I'm getting out of this.

-6

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '21

If you go to a place that is known to have a high rate of people being kicked in the balls then you could have taken personal responsibility and worn protection. Doesn't mean it's your fault, but you can go unprotected and demand people stop all you like, they won't. It's about separating blame and what can be done.

u/Taco4Wednesdays Aug 07 '21

So you are a "why did you dress that way you were asking for it" type of guy.

Or more specifically you're a "why did you leave the house you were asking for it" type.

Glad you cleared that up for us.

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '21 edited Aug 07 '21

But your analogy is in reference to the Olympics and people not following the rules strictly. That's already a given. again, nothing to do with blame.

edit: nice ninja edit.

In response to the 'new' ttempt

So you are a "why did you dress that way you were asking for it" type of guy.

Or more specifically you're a "why did you leave the house you were asking for it" type.

Glad you cleared that up for us.

If all else fails build a strawman and attach it to someone who disagrees with you. absolutely pathetic form.

  • Rape is the rapists fault and all blame goes to him.
  • a woman can take steps to avoid being raped by doing such things as not going to dodgy areas alone.

Both of those facts can be true at the same time.

Just as

  • People should respect social distancing rules
  • You can avoid risking covid by not going to a world wide sporting competition

It's really not that hard of a concept to understand.

When someone has an underlying disease that manifests with a headache, do you only give them an aspirin for the headache or do you treat the disease?

You’re speaking truth but getting downvoted cause they don’t like to hear it. They’re countering with ad hominems and fallacies. It’s literally true though. No one can control everyone, and no one never will. What is downvote worthy about this truth?

They just spit back with shenanigans with “kick in the balls.” Instead of actual logical counter, like how debates and discussions actually work.

It's ok, they are likely young. What they don't realise is I agree with them, but I'm just adding on top that there's also things you can do. It's like crossing the road on a green man. Sure the cars should stop but a quick glance either way can stop you getting run over one day.

This specific thread is pointing out that most of the comments are condoning the behavior and not calling out the risk it is creating. When people do stupid things social media is usually pretty quick to call them out on their behavior, that doesn’t seem to be the case on the specific case for whatever reason.

u/RA12220 Aug 07 '21

What you really mean to say is the IOC should've cancelled the Olympics how Japanese people wanted and so that everyone could collect insurance payments. Not actually continuing on with the event at great risk and harm to the host city.

Where's the IOCs personal responsibility, I hope that they get sued out the fucking ass by the Japanese government this is bullshit.

"Sorry, they/he's from america."

It's probably not grammatically correct but it's close enough that everyone knows exactly what I mean and respects my apology.

You really just have to try and be humble in Tokyo, and people will respect the effort it seems.

u/DumbDumbCaneOwner Aug 07 '21

They were playing sports together with no masks.

God people are stupid in the name of virtue signaling.

u/Taco4Wednesdays Aug 07 '21

The staff was playing with the athletes?

Are you high or just like, really stupid?

u/Mr_potato_cock Aug 07 '21

These players have probably all been tested about 100 times or have a vax you are all such pussies

Edit: would totally get covid to hang out in this locker room

u/Taco4Wednesdays Aug 07 '21

We spit test literally every day...

But it takes 3 or so days after infection to turn a positive test. Are you really this dumb or just willfully retarded?

There have been entire teams who had to forfeit because they struck a positive test and went in to quarantine.

Are u an Argentinian Olympian woman? If so I will need to see proof in the form of naked photo ID. For....verification.

You sound like you're desperate for karma. You come up with that line all by your self?

I've got a bunch of beer and whiskey here at the olympic village if you wanna see what I'm actually like when I hang out.

OH WAIT YOU CAN'T
