I imagine there will be more people killed in car accidents on the way to the drugstore to stock up for this 'outbreak' than there will be by those affected by the disease in the U.S.

If people want to be worked up over a disease, they should be fearing the flu.

You do know there's no cure for ebola, right?

Seriously fuck IOC and fuck FIFA. Take away their tax-free benefits and force them to work on spreading sports and culture, not getting their asses fat on expensive cheese and alcohol.

You realize that, especially when compared to other viruses, ebola is fairly difficult to transmit from person to person? It is mostly done so in West Africa due to the conditions, rituals of the people, and distrust of government and medical personnel.

You realize that most people are stupid and can't be trusted to follow simple rules or common sense, right?

Is this true? It drives me crazy that lesbians would be racist....then again I've met an Israeli neo-nazi, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised.

Before reading the article, I didn't think it was a racist thing.

I'm pretty sure I was wrong though. They talk about how hard it will be for the daughter, but I think it sounds like their more worried on how it reflects on them, which isn't right. Then again, the sperm bank is also at fault there.

I'm confused about what you are saying.So you think they are being racist or not?

And as I said it's fucked up for people like lesbians who are fighting for acceptance by society to be racist.

They are afraid how the little girl will grow up? Wait till she gets old enough to learn that her parents sued cause they didn't like the color of her skin.

Absolutely disgusting.

RIP Alan Henning. Those thugs allegedly acquitted him of espionage charges, only to barbarically murder him days later. This is a dirty game spanning decades and innocents routinely become embroiled in affairs so sinister.

I meant to say it didn't necessarily sound racist to start with, but became apparent it was as I was reading.

I still stand by my fact that the sperm bank is also in the wrong though- giving the wrong sperm is a pretty big deal. I can't think of a good comparison, but I stand by that.

(Don't correct my grammar in a post that seems antagonistic to me, all it does is make me more pissed.)
