[Swine Flu]

I'm not participating in this whole debate, but this new strain of Influenza has me scared shitless. Sorry for harsh words, but I am. Especially since the disease has been found in Texas and Kansas. There's a huge gap there, completely avoiding Oklahoma (That's where I live).

I just dont want to be one of the people cursed with this new bacteria, since I have nothing for health insurance.

Well for the disease to be transmitted there, people actually have to want to go there.

 

Sorry, sorry, sorry. It was a cheap shot that I couldn't resisist.

It's a totally baseless claim. Sorry.

 

Seriously though. With air travel, geography is meaningless.

It can hit anywhere there is an airport.

It's a good thing this hit AFTER spring break.

[Swine Flu]

Scientists from the California Research Center (CRC) have confirmed testing that Swine Flu, a recently emerging respiratory virus, is in fact deadly and transmittable. "This is the next pandemic, period," Scott Helmway, the research teams leader, has publicly declared. "We're estimating deaths in the billions, and that's just the beginning."

 

Well so far the only other place I find this quote is your myspace page. Not even ATS has it.

 

So i ask, why would you do this?

Wow. I'm not sure if it's the proper use of kudos but you just earned one.

@Jaysus

 

My apologies. I meant west, but that's kind of obvious. And theres nothing localized about nuclear war. I grew up with the exact same fears.

I'd also like to apologize for bringing up Germany's history. Every time we back up another step there's always someone else to blame. That s the very thing that pisses me off about this debate.

 

And as for who was turning what upside down, ask the Kurds and the Shia (or is it Sunis? I can never keep those guys straight). And as for how I finished my last post "Maybe next time". Take a look at the news today. Next time is here. But I'm sure Europe can handle it this time. Or maybe we should just stand back and let the Taliban take over another country. I mean seriously. I don't think Pakistan's nuclear arsenal has the range to reach the US anyway. But what the heck. I don't suppose a bunch of "desert dwellers" as you call them even know how the trigger works.

 

And if I can't make a "reasonable" argument without calling someone a tard or a slave then perhaps there is something wrong with my argument. But that's just me. If you want to call yourself a eurotard as you put it, that's your choice. Though some of your neighbors might be offended.

 

And I sure as hell don't go to FOX for anything. All my info comes from my own observations and EXAMINING the evidence that almost exclusively comes from the very web site that thrives on wild speculation about these theories. Why do people think you actually have to "melt" steel to totally fry it's structural qualities? All you have to do is make it lose it's temper.

 

If you would like to continue the 9/11 debate, I suggest we move this over to Above Top Secret. I have a thread over there titled "Why? Answer these 2 questions and you may find the truth". But it's totally open to more than the 2 questions I posed.

Wow. I should have dropped back in on this thread a couple days ago. Boy has it gone astray. It’s sounding like something over at Above Top Secret where all the conspiracy theorists hang out. I place I regularly visit to punch holes in the [alleged] logic of the theorists and point out where the “official’ “Truthers” organizations deliberately mislead their flock. Something not reserved to the US government alone. But when you do that they start accusing you of being a “plant”.

God forbid someone is able to objectively examine the available info and sort it out for themselves. And just because 660 architects and engineers sign a petition asking for an impartial investigation (a very reasonable request) does not mean they believe all or any of that crap. That particular organization I have a real problem with as they specifically are deliberately misleading aforementioned flock. I do not need to read the feds report to see the obvious misdirection the A&E are applying.

The feds lie. They do it quite regularly. Almost always to cover up mistakes. The different departments put out conflicting reports. They have a bad habit of not sharing information. Nothing new. But that in no way means that the Bush administration (or any body else for that matter) pulled off the biggest scam ever by blowing up buildings and faking crashes with the precision of the best scripted movie ever in front of thousands of witnesses on the ground and millions on TV.

The feds lied to cover their failures prior to and after 9/11 but what we all watched that day was quite real. Fire away.

 

I love to listen to Euros piss and moan about how we shouldn’t be doing this or that but none of them can offer any answer to what we do now. Many of them want to call our actions illegal but don’t want to even discuss the “legality” of the regimes of the Taliban or Saddam. Nor do they want to consider the bloody mess we would leave behind should we just pull out today. Perhaps we should have stayed out of east Berlin and left them to fend for themselves. It wasn’t our fight. Why should we care? Why should we have risked getting our planes shot down? I’m sure the Russians would have fed them eventually. And it seems to me a few people did die at the hands of their sons while trying to cross that line.

Yes, yes, the world is full of idealists that can sit and point the finger all day long (usually from the comfort of their dorms or parents homes) but when pressed for real answers all they can say is “you shouldn’t have done that”. That’s not an answer with any practical application to the here and now. Maybe next time.
