My statement of the day!
I feel that diseases such as Aids are necessary to control our population. Why would we want more people in our already crowded world? We must look at things globally, for the benefit of the planet, and not ourselves!

and ever notice how it preys on drug addicts and hemophilacs (sp?)? Who according to Darwin would be considered the weak of the species?

...and whole populations in Africa. And hemophiliacs. And surgical patients. And how Hepititis is statistically prevalent in the E.M.T. field? We all deserve what we get, right???

I'm ok with AIDS. As long as it happens to "THEM".

Here we go again.

I think you need to be more respectful of others and you also need to realize that one day you will decay into the ground. -

Flyguy, I'm guessing you're speaking tongue in cheek, right? I can't imagine how anyone can say that horrible diseases like HIV & AIDS are a way of getting rid of the weaker part of society. What about the little babies who are born with it? As for Hepatitis, you're right about it being prevalent in the EMS world... even though there are immunizations available, that's the price we pay for helping others, now isn't it?

RE: My statement of the day!
From the point of view of the planet and curbing human populations, a slow acting virus like AIDs that spreads primarily amongst people who have already reached reproductive age isn't all that useful.

Many many diseases are far far more effective today than AIDs for that purpose.

I'm not advocating anything here, except examination of facts, logic, evidence.

Stop clinging. We all die, it's part of living, and it's natural! Look at it from a distance like we look at plants and animals. Take it to a different level, take away the human aspect, and you will see that it is good to have disease. If you didn't fear death so much, you would see the truth. Let's have a group suicide in the name of environmentalism, and the saving of the planet, who's with me?

What`s up there Tarpy, just what is it doc
do you hear the seconds ticking, tick tock
for you Tarpy time may already be winding down to nill
one minute your heart is beating and the next it`s still
but, you won`t ever know the minute, the hour, or the day
and what a shock it`s going to be to you as you pass away
you`ll relive all of your blessings and the things you lack
if you`re lucky, you`ll go out like a light and fade to black
if you aren`t that lucky, you`ll live once again all that awful pain
you`ll know the minute, the hour, the second, you drove us all insane

Medic Girl, it was dripping with sarcasm. If my statement was anymore tongue in cheek I'd sprain the bad boy, and we can't have that, can we?

RE: My statement of the day!
I was once outside a sold-out concert with no ticket and even the scalpers had no more.

People were jumping the fence and getting snagged by security guards yards away.

One guy got up on the fence and yelled to all of us "If we all go over at the same time, they can't possibly arrest us all! You all with me?"

Hundreds of us yelled "YEAH!!!"

The instigator yelled "Okay then, on three! ONE, TWO, THREE, GO!"

We all watched him hop the fence alone and get arrested.



Okay Tarpster, we're all with you! ;->

Tarp, that was quite disingenuous of you. Scrooge already spoke of "decreasing the excess population" years ago.

And very mean spirited too. As I sit here typing this, I am maybe 30 feet from a secretary who contracted the virus from her cheating ex-husband. The medication has kept her from developing AIDS but it is a tradgedy. She has two teenage kids that she is hoping to see through college.

Multiply this story by I don't know how much and you'll get a better picture of what this disease is about.

Your words do have power. Try thinking before you hit Submit Message.
