What exactly is wrong with going for a walk? So long as you're keeping some distance from others, I'd think walks would be encouraged.

- HenryBemis 7y ago100% on going for walks. The issue is that it is being abused/misused and thus we see one (European) country after the next one imposing bans on circulation. Common sense is not so common. If govs encourage "people going for a walk" then majority of Greeks, Italians, Spaniards would be in the parks with a bottle of wine and sandwiches having picnics "while out on a walk". It's the stupid ones that ruin it for all. The ones who don't want to limit themselves for a couple of weeks for the greater good.
- Symbiote 7y ago> Greeks, Italians, Spaniards That seems like an attempt to stereotype, when the same has been observed in Denmark, Ireland and Britain.
- HenryBemis 7y agoTrust me on this: PIIGS have the fundamental "handicap" that they lack self discipline. I have lived in some of the PIIGS as well as Denmark and UK. From they way people park their cars, litter their streets, make building code violations, it is clear (to me at least).
- tomatocracy 7y agoWhat's wrong with having a picnic with wine if they're not near anyone outside their household?
- HenryBemis 7y agoThe problem may become that if we all exercise the "right to picnic" at the same time, the nearest green hill will have 5000 people, which defeats the purpose.
