Now that's what I'm talking about

Keeps me awake, gives me vitamin B3, contains the basics of the Tamiflu vaccine, keeps cockroaches away, contains lots of antioxidants, fights tooth decay -- allll good stuff! The bit about "Satans Outhouse" is a bit tasteless, but heck, nothing's ALL good!

I'll check out the Kopi Luwak later. Thanks!

Hmmm ... looks like he didn't eat enough curry.

Ah, and here we go, a nice chart to put things into perspective:

That doesn't mean things won't change ... but it matters how that change will come about, how will they implement it.

Cool! That's pretty educational too: who'd have thought so many have died from diarrhea?? :/ That'd be a shi**y way to go

Its actually not that surprising, though I am a bit surprised that you're surprised about that. If you look at all third-world countries, there are many diseases not just diarrhea that people die from, but where we live, we have a firm grasp on all such diseases, or they don't even exist at all anymore, except in labs for the continuation of the production of vaccines. It comes down obviously to sanitation, living conditions.

You're right, I should have been more clear: death by diarrhea as a direct cause, was what I meant, and I wrote literally (literally "death by diarrhea"), which was my error.

Deaths from, for example, Malaria, or complications thereof, such as dehydration, was not what I was referring to, but you're completely right: there are millions, unfortunately.

Death by diarrhea. That's bad enough in itself, plus all that money spent on toilet paper and nothing left to leave in a will.

Dysentery?

Both. Dysentery AND diarrhea are usually the main causes of deaths in third world countries due to the lack of clean drinking water. As well as Malaria from mosquitos. Side note on that, a really scary article from the BBC states that a more aggressive and resistant form of Malaria has been discovered in Cambodia! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8072742.stm

Don't you mean "discovered"? We both agree that is is manufactured, don't we? :P

Really? So bacteria that becomes resistant to anti-biotics are just engineered by man to be that way as well?

How are these anti-biotics administered?

Actually, it's not out of the question ... it would generate profit, wouldn't it ?

You know what.. You're right, though. What's the solution to DR, MR, etc bacteria?

More of something else! Otherwise, more of whatever won't kill you, and hope for the best. It's good for everyone.

But most of that comes from giving so much of it out for things that don't matter enough to be using the anti-biotic, which can be compared to a nuclear bomb.

ontop of that, poor instructions allow for the bacteria to not only stay alive and become resistant to it, but also even more pissed off than at first.

I betcha user error is responsible for the increase in resistant strains, but what's even scarier is that it's not only in third world dirt villages that you'll see this sort of thing.

Consider all the dumbasses we have in North America, who've grown up thinking that the idea that what they're doing is the right way to do it, as long as it doesn't kill anyone, and in their experience..

If it's bad, the solution is to take more.
If it's not bad, or if the symptoms go away, they think it's fine.. everything's ok again, and stop taking it.

OOPS! You weren't told to do that, and now you've gone and made stuff worse.

It's always a wonderful day when I get to read in the local paper that very resistant strains of Staph are showing up here and there.

Yes, yes they are. The Illuminati are responsible for bio-engineering all known illnesses, as far back as the dawn of human civilization.
They plan to use disease to turn the world into a dictatorship. The only reason people deny this FACT is because the Illuminati's plan is very very long term and none of you feeble minded proles have the mental capability to see the big picture.
