Those stats are skewed by "natural" deaths though Robbie. Nobody ever dies of "old age" they died because they had a heart attack, or cardiac arrest, cancer, clogged tubes, infections, aneurysms, etc etc.

For many of those people it was just time to go.

I always found it interesting reading about great people in the history of the world, war torn generals and whatnot who died from simple stuff like stubbing their toe, getting an infection and dying from it.

Of course it is coming. There will be a day when a great portion of the human population dies. 50% seems like a fair enough number. Nature trumps all, and in nature there are cycles. There is a balance continuously in play which requires maintainenance. Mankind has disrupted this balance, and the scales are tipping. Nature as a force maintains this balance, infallibly. There are simple laws in nature which can not be "beaten" no matter how hard one tries, and people need to come to grips with this. One being that an environment only contains the resources to support such a population before the balance is adjusted. This is reality. Mankind has grossly overpopulated the Earth, the human population will see the peak of the bell curve. Nature will restore the balance.

DOOM DOOM DOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!

i think this is just some viral marketing campaign for some new zombie movie ...

what i laugh at is how they keep saying "no evidence to suggest eating pork could allow you to be infected" lol

they sure do go in damage control quickly, KEEP EATING THAT PORK, lol

Id put my house on that if you ate pork that came from infected pig, you would in fact, get it. They just dont want population to stop eating pork.

funny stuff when you dont consume pigs

Just do a search on depopulation. It's all been planned.

The jews were right all along! :1orglaugh

Funny how Hitler and his obsession with eugenics went on a warpath to cleanse the world of the Jews. It gave eugenics such a terrible terrible name. Such a terrible name that just the mere mention of the support of eugenics incites rage. The one study that could possibly hold the key to mankind saving itself from certain doom...

It needs to be... :2 cents:

Honestly, it seems like the cat is already out of the bag on this one. Most scare episodes have been based on whether it actually gets out and starts spreading and it seems like that has already happened.

However, as of now it seems like just a very virulent flu but not extremely deadly (other than in Mexico for some reason where healthy people have died).

The real issue is how it mutates now that it is out. A second wave could prove deadly or it could just fizzle out. There is no way to know.

Quite a bit of blame has to be put on Mexico and they seem to have waited over a month before implementing the proper control protocols. If they followed the proper techniques, this would have never have reached this point.

80 percent of you have to go, and you will go :)

you mean muslims.

Yeah and maybe half your family too :thumbsup

Orthodox Jews don't eat pork.

Who gives a fuck what monkey Islamic religion does?

wow.obviously you eat pork lol

Nothing more satisfying than a good bacon blanket... :2 cents:

lol not for me

No pork shoulder? No char siu? No bacon? No carnitas? No pulled pork? No feet to add substance to soups and stews?

Not eating pork is crazytalk.

Maybe this is just nature's way of compensating for Octo-Mom.

Will power is your friend. Control over ones body is the #1 thing in my life.

If you cannot control yourself when it comes to food, how can you control yourself in anything in this world?

pulled pork on a bun would be good right now.

I wonder if they are going to beef up security at the Mexican border now.

I'd like to cut pork and beer from my diet.

More diseased pork for me :2 cents:

If i had to choose between giving up either pork & beer, or sex. I'll be drinking beer with my toasted bacon tomato sandwiches happily for the rest of my short sexless life...

hmmmmmm meeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaat.

Fuck. A friend was down by the border in Texas for a week. He got back 4 or 5 days ago and developed flu like symptoms a day or 2 after he got back. Bastard has been over here about 5 times since he got back. If he got us sick, I'm gonna kill him. :(

I have been off pork for 5 months, never felt better.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Less traffic. I'm all for it.

oops too big!

much better fit!

Black plague is still around, and people are dying from it. Not very many, but still...

I doubt it.

I'm marking down the date today.

Let's see what happens 28 days later.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

If the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 occurred today, we would be totally screwed. In 1918, people rarely traveled more than a dozen miles from home, and if they did, it was an all-day affair. Today, you can be anywhere in the world in 18 hours.

The Illuminati is behind the Swine Flu

Properly cooking meat kills all organisms inside of it.

But I'd like to know if you could get it from handling uncooked meat. Is that the same thing has having an infected person standing right next to you?

I do too. Lots of parnoid people fall for the media's bullshit. According to the media we should all have been dead by now from the Bird Flu too. There are lots of things that can kill you in this world. I doubt Swine Flu is going to be one of them.

We will be zombies by then. :winkwink:

If you look at humanity's DNA map, there's several holes where diverging and diverse lines narrowed dramatically due to all sorts of natural disasters, disease, and war. Although we live in the Digital Age, natural and evolutionary processes remain fully in control.

We're just the tiny tick on the back of a massive whale of a dog and we think everything revolves around us and how our technology can give us a sense of 'control'. Disasters are an opportunity for all of us to collectively remember who the boss ultimately is--Nature.
