CONFIRMED Ebola case in Dallas

[SlickSnake]

Just admit you're wrong...

You've said before that you're gay, yet you're unaware that Austin is very liberal and has one the largest gay communities in the US? :hmm:

Back to the topic at hand: Have they determined whether the patient actually has ebola?

I never expected to have to defend an opinion about Austin (as I remembered it 40 years ago) when I barely even mentioned it in passing in the first place. Obviously it has turned into a raging, liberal shithole since I was last there. When we have 10 or 15 people living in a 3 bedroom house here, we call it a drug house. But in Austin, they call that a dorm. But I'm sure there are still plenty of drugs there.

No wonder the conservatives and sane people who fear for their families safety are selling their houses at below market values and fleeing it. When it turns into Detroit, and they move the capitol to Fort Worth, remember when I told you this would happen.

And yea, I know about all the parties and concerts and other crap constantly going on there. I just didn't realize until I was reading some recent news articles it was turning into a 20 something communal living hell hole. No thank you, you can surely have it.

I have been looking at houses around Texas, and wondered why so much of the real estate in Austin was selling below appraised market value. And those links about communal frat houses everywhere clued me in to why, and turned me off completely from moving there.

Holy smokes, I understand how you derailed the thread now. When the capital moves to Fort Worth, I'll vote for you for governor.

Thank you President Ebola (obama).

At least it's not lupus.

LOL! IT's NEVER lupus is it now? Even I know that!

Don't say stupid things and you won't have to go out of your way to defend yourself.

Wow, you are completely out of touch.

Austin takes the top spot on FORBES’ annual list of America’s Fastest-Growing Cities for the 4th year in a row.With a 2.5% population growth rate (estimated annual) for 2013—the highest of all the geographic regions—and an economy that expanded 5.88% last year, it’s hard for other cities to compete these days.

So many people fleeing the area that we're the fastest growing city in the nation. :hmm:

You realize that that although this is still considered a college town, the students make up a small minority of the population? frat houses are far from the norm.


Admit it, you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

It is ok to be wrong. What's not ok is continuing to defend a position that has been so thoroughly proven to be wrong.

If you have to explain your joke, you're doing it wrong.

Did you click those 2 links? Either of you? They are even knocking down perfectly good, expensive single family houses, then building dorm slums at half the normal building costs per square foot just to warehouse kids in and make a lot more money. Would you want a crappily built dorm room/apartment eye sore like that built next door to your family home? I'm guessing not. That sounds like the road to ruin to me.

And when you cram too many students in classes and then cram them into sprawling dorm slums, driving out families in the process and lowering property values, I guess you can call that progress and population growth. Even though most of that population growth is supposedly Hispanic, according to the census. And they tend to vote democratic/liberal. Any Spanish language colleges on the horizon? Sounds like a perfect growth industry for jobs there, since most illegals can't speak English.

How does that make any sense whatsoever ?

:hmm:

I guess it doesn't.

The West Campus area (where this is happening) is a very small part of the city and is already overrun with students.

If this is the best argument you can come up with, just give it up.

What does autism have to do with ebola?

Um, both are cocky little words with two many vowels for their size? Both are nice sounding words for very not nice things?

,.. can we in general stop stating; Well,.. let's see how you feel about it when it hits,...

Really, you want strangers to suffer, just so you can say; See, I told you so!

You may not believe in karma, or men in robes hanging out in the clouds, or a spaghetti monster,.. but, can we cut the misanthropic wishes, just so you can stroke your neck beard??

It's not nice.

Well said, sir.

That's an excellent back pedal ... and a valiant attempt at further explaining your post that NO ONE BUT YOU took that way. You're either just plain wrong or you have a very difficult time putting forth coherent points in your text.

You mentioned Austin as a republican city. You couldn't possibly be any more incorrect. Just stop now while you're only waaaaay behind.

I actually took his post as Texas being the largest population center near the center (geographically speaking) of the nation, his point being that Texas (specifically the big cities) is a suitable place for the disease to quickly spread both epidemiologically (which may not be a word, but it's gotta be worth what it cost you) and geographically. Although it might well be that a major hub like Atlanta would spread a disease more efficiently, one could certainly make a case for Texas as it has a major hub (Dallas-Fort Worth), is a major point of entry for illegal aliens (more likely to suffer a disease without seeking medical help), and proximity to both east and west for diffusion. I agree though that I've never heard of Austin as anything but a liberal city; we lost one of our young engineers to an Austin company for just that reason (among others - he had family in western Louisiana which is a heck of a lot closer to Austin than to Chattanooga.)

Obviously you're hoping we don't know about the Oval Office switch labeled "Ebola/No Ebola".

More seriously, any responsible President would have nuked Africa into glass the moment Ebola sprang back up to protect Americans. Okay, maybe that was even less seriously . . .

Okay, this is more seriously - there are literally dozens if not hundreds of diseases which represent a more serious threat to a First World nation like America than does Ebola, even if spell checker does insist it be capitalized.

I amended my post, so if you would like to rip on me some more, just because you live there and feel the need to defend a Bill Maher style liberal invasion, then feel free. I still like you anyhow. :awe:

But I'm glad I talked some relatives out of moving there, because the more I read about it, the less it appeals to me. But hey, someone has to live there and put up with all the student and illegal alien transients. It just won't be me.

Because the CDC never lies about ANYTHING! Except for the recent disclosures about the links to autism and vaccines in black kids they tried to hide while they have been staunchly denying any links for DECADES. Because they have to protect the corporate interests of the vaccine makers over the people being harmed at all possible cost, right? At least they got their priorities in order. Because money talks and poor black people can get the hell out of the way.

http://atlantablackstar.com/2014/09/08/cdc-scientists-shocking-confession-mmr-vaccine-likely-cause-autism-black-babies/

http://atlantablackstar.com/2014/09/03/cdc-director-sounds-alarm-ebola-epidemic/

And I could have linked a hundred other sites about these new autism revelations, but since the vaccine study was done in Atlanta, and the link was not especially sensationalized, that's what I picked.

It's also a good thing you can sleep at night knowing that the CDC owns the patent to Ebola so they can make money hand over fist on royalties while also promoting, like a snake oil salesman, their largely inneffective Ebola vaccines that won't give kids autism and other icky side effects and stuff.

And the CDC also claims you can't catch anything off a toilet seat, well, except maybe EBOLA, but hey, take that dump on that dirty toilet seat anyway that an Ebola patient just used, just for shits and giggles. See what I did there?

So...... We are supposed to believe you instead? What is your PHD in?

Liberals are mad because they can't defend this Buffoon of a President anymore!! Wish they would just admit he's a failure!!

Darn it, and I am planning to go to the Texas State Fair soon.

So are they going to test those that were on the same plane from Africa to US with this person? What about all others on the ground in contact with him? Goodness, what a mess.

P & N is a place where you can drop a grain of sand in a pond and get a tsunami.

 

[SlickSnake]

So...... We are supposed to believe you instead? What is your PHD in?

Well, how much money you got? Because everything can be had for a price at the alphabet soup agencies, morality and law be damned.

And everyone in political power also ignores the various soup agencies abuses completely, because they have a piece of the pie too, like stock and investments to consider. They know that money always comes first.

But it don't take a PHD to figure all this out, just a little common sense and a desire to read and think for yourself, which most people never seem to learn to do. Just because someone tells you to do something is not always a good reason to do it, especially when they are primarily motivated by money and greed, and not your personal welfare at all.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

What can't be had is the suppression of commonly researched data. Tens upon tens of thousands of people silenced? Hardly. You might as well suggest that the world is flat and the knowledge hidden. No.

Ebola outbreak is more than likely just a matter of time; then wait for the panic

Suppose they found out that a passenger was infected with HIV. Should they have tested the plane and the ground crew? No, and for the same reason they aren't testing anyone and that's because he wasn't contagious. You need to be suffering the effects of the disease for that.

 

[Paratus]

Crap. Just what this state needs Ebola. At least I'm in Houston and not Dallas. I also trust our mayor to be thorough and professional because she's a democrat and ........a lesbian.

I've already started scouting out malls.

Has anyone noticed they don't make malls anymore?
