OMG 2012!

[Polopolop]

finnaly some good news

[Calluffence]

Confirms that cats are filthy creatures.

[actrisski]

Hopefully due to our overzealous use of cleaning products and antibiotics it becomes a nearly unstoppable killing machine removing enough people from this planet that it stops sucking.

Confirms that rats are filthy creatures.

Fixed.

Spoken like someone who's never watched a loved one die from a terrible disease.

Or a selfish ******* - in which case you'd probably be one of the first to go should your wish come true.

Typical pisspoor reportage.
He didn't catch it from the cat, he caught it from the mouse - it would have been a carrier, it's blood transferred to the cat's teeth and when the cat bit him, some would have been introduced to his blood stream.
As has been said, the disease has been around, in various forms, since the plague.

BootX, a slow death (or any, for that matter) can be a horrible thing but, as many scientists class mankind as a 'Global Extinction Event', anything that reduces our numbers can only be a good thing in the long term - I'd prefer a drastic drop in fertility, myself, as a more humane method but, at this point, that would simply be too slow a action.

Unless you do plan on greatly decreasing fertility, or wiping out humanity completely, then culling our global population is going to have a negligible impact on the planet in the long term. It took very little time for us to get to the ~7 billion we have today, and it would take even less time now that we've advanced so much technologically.

the movies they scare me the most have to do with this subject .movies like outbreak

[CULTDIAMONDS]

it's the high fertility, with increased medical means (especially in child mortality) and living standards that raised the average length of life, that is the direct reason for the rapid increase in population. One could also put the case that increased 'government' (AKA leeching off others for ones life choices) that also contributed as those with large families found them of much reduced financial burden.
So, a (permanent) reduction in fertility would have a strong affect on the population total, over time, but perhaps not in time to avoid the consequencxces of over-population.
It's going to be interesting to see, over the next few decades, what affect the proliferation of drug resistant infections will have on the world, especially if they make inroads into some of the poorer, highly populated areas. It seems strange to think that even as late as the early 29th century, infections killed more in war than their injuries - not to mention ordinary infections one would get from everyday activities, such as shaving or papercuts.

"...pry a dead mouse from a stray cat's mouth"

I do that every day. Highly useful activity. Thrilling.

K/D ratio of 1 in 7. N00b disease.

That's what I thought... It should be at least 2 to 1 to be able to join our team. Preferably 3 to 1.

[peemovvie]

watch the movie Contagion (or outbreak) - both good and scary films


only time till the russians weaponise plague anyway (ooops they allready did - read the bioweaponeers by ken alibek)

So Dr. Solus, we need a krogan genophage?

Are you suggesting he works in a bar?

Yeah, both documentaries too...
