Default Re: Swine Flu - Your Thoughts

Micjer, I'm not sure what goodnewsaboutgod is trying to say. I get the point about it being a hoax, but there isn't a doubt about there being swine flu in Mexico only an idiot would deny it. So if this is about how many, or how bad it can be, etc... I understand but we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water.

First either there was a flu outbreak or not. Hmmm? If we deny that then we can probably quit there. However, in as much as someone can actually "know" something, I know there was a flu outbreak. So that in my humble opinion is not the hoax. The hoax could be any one or combination of several other topics related to the outbreak.

And by the way we tend to catagorize the word outbreak in the same way we use epidemic or pandemic. That is some more programing by the media. A person could have an outbreak of mumps in the family but that hardly qualifies for an epidemic or pandemic.

Our awareness of this issue seems to ebb and flow with the intensity brought to us via the media. And yet we here on the forum say we are the most "awake". hmmm? Maybe that is why they call it programing on television.

In fact if you want a revolution use your second amendment right and shoot the damn television. Then we would have a fighting chance.

Check out my blog I'm trying to figure out this flu whose behavior borders on swinish.
