    This swine flu thing really gets on my nerves. It's just a new flu strain. It's nothing to worry about. Most of the people who died had the flu for a long long time before they sought help. Any flu that lasts long will kill you if you don't take care of it. If you're healthy now, you have nothing to worry about. Some people need to worry, but most people don't. It's the same way with any flu. Some people will die from it, but most won't.

    This from the BBC this morning:

    "Preliminary analysis of the swine flu virus suggests it is a fairly mild strain, scientists say."

    It's the flu. Seriously.

    I just started this thread so people can talk about here. It just really bothers me. It's just the media blowing this out of proportion. They make a lot of money off this sort of thing.

    I lived in Manhattan for a couple years. A lot of people there get the flu like three times a year because of the crowds, trains, and cold weather. Now that is something to be worried about.:p

    OMG there's a case of swine flu in Wicklow! FirstPrime watch out!! /sarcasm

    The WHO are thinking about bringing back the vaccine... the vaccine that killed 57 people and made everyone who took it paraplegic in the mid 70s. They made a lot of money off that vaccine.

    If you want to waste a few hours go to YouTube and search for "Swine Flu Conspiracy".

    According to YouTube, the following are in part of wholly responsible for Swine Flu:
    • The Freemasons
    • Barack Obama
    • Aircraft chemtrails
    • Panasonic
    • FEMA
    • Terrorists
    • Umbrella Corporation
    My favorite thing about mainstream media hysteria is how nuts on the internet just take it to a whole new level. Basically, FEMA called for mass graves because Barack Obama, in league with the Freemasons are blanketing the country with the flu virus using the exhaust of airplanes. The swine flu itself was developed by Panasonic (who apparently told all their employees with American homes to sell them and move back to Japan lalst year) in some Umbrella Corporation-like bioterrorist unit.

    Or at least that's what I've been able to piece together from YouTube.

    didn't swine flu happen because someone had sex with a pig who had the flu? Thats what I read on twitter and it makes sense.

    Brilliant, That gave me a good laugh.

    But really folks, sit back and think about it. Swine Flu(Sorry, not allowed call it that anymore) /H1N1 has claimed very few victims compared to say.... The number of people worldwide that died in a car yesterday. Or perhaps the number of people that, since the beginning of all this, died due to direct animal related incidents(Bites, Stings, Attacks...).

    So really, as has been said before, this is simply Mass media blowing the whole thing out of porportion.

    If by "models", you mean the entire Jewish population, you just made a lot of people blush. :eek:
    But then I'm sure saying they don't count is maddening as heck! :mad:

    That may be true, but I bet most of those people would eat meat if they could afford it or if it was available to them.

    If you're going to continue posting such hilariously ignorant things it would be nice if you would just keep them to yourself.
