Am I a bad person?

Long Onion

I can't help but be really disappointed by the fact that Swine Flu has turned out to be so innocuous, I find myself wishing that if we are to get some kind of pandemic, it should be a really high quality one that actually kills people, not some kind of yellow-pack cold virus. If I'm going to listen to it 24/7 at least let it be worthwhile

I know that this is a sh1tty thing to think, but I can't help it - am I alone on this?

(p.s. I also get disappointed by itty bitty wars - why do we do things by halves?)

No not at all. I can scene your warm community spirit.. Thinkin of the world and what-have-you

Pighead

Know exactly what you mean. There's always been a nihilistic streak running through Pighead's veins. Whenever Pighead was blissfully happy in a relationship he often hoped that his girlfriend would run off with his best friend thus turning a once confident cocksure man into a dribbling alcoholic mess who wore piss stained trousers and who lived in a gutter.

People would pass by, point and say "There's that guy who used to be the most popular and handsome fella in town. He had it all until a girl broke his heart. Now look at him. A drunken mess with brown and yellow stained trousers" Some day Pighead will be that man.

But surely you'd need both a gf and a best friend for it to happen? Get to work piggy, or you'll never realise your dreams.

Good man Pighead - I knew I wasn't alone. Perhaps it's a sad indictment of my life that I am disappointed by this, but as I said, I can't help but feel duped. It's like I feel I was promised a really good virulent few months and now I'm just disappointed.

Come on the rest of you - 'fess up!

Pighead has both a girlfriend and a best friend. And this evening he shall have a freshly stained pair of urined trousers. All that's missing is a gutter. Once Pighead finds the right gutter, Operation Down and Out shall commence.

Definitely a kind of wipe-out-half-the-globe kind of thing - a few mexicans and old people don't really count (old mexican people don't count at all)

That was a big disappointment as well actually - so was SARS. I'm not praying for a big disaster by the way but if we are going to big it up, at least let it live up to the hype!

I suppose. The word pandemic does get thrown around a bit lightly. I thought I'd look pretty good in one of those mouth masky things too.

All that foot and mouth saga got a load of press too, and all we got to do was wipe our feet on soggy mats and had an anything-with-trotters bonfire.

Yeah it's like when you read in the papers that North Korea now has nuclear missiles capable of hitting Seoul like somehow that's suddenly the end of the world. But sure I don't live there, I'm never going to go there and I'll hide behind the Americans if anything should happen so why would I care?

It might be the end of the world for millions of Seoulians but until I read that they have missiles that can hit Dublin I'm turning the page.

We can always hold out hope for a mutated strain when regular flu kicks in.

You are not bad and you are correct. It's the biggest load of crap I have ever heard and the hype surrounding it is simply crazy. I mean, it's the flu, get over it, big freaking
deal.

Yeah, people die from the flu all the time, what's new?

I agree. We need a good virus or disease to kill off some of the world population. If you think about it, it's natures way of keeping the population down. Plus, these things usually kill off the weakest. Whilst that may mean granny or grandad depart earlier than expected, it also means that the festering junkies and scum that plague Dublin and other cities would be naturally exterminated.

At the above rate?

jumpguy

Yeah...it's merely a bloody flu. I'm glad but I don't see what all the ****ting-in-the-pants was about. I've never had the flu in my life so I'm not too worried. Also, I'm abit iffy about these vaccines. Are the just normal flu vaccines or are they different for swine flu? Any injection rushed through the laboratory and getting it's debut with the population I think I'll like to avoid (look at what the anthrax vaccine did).

Ron Weasley is another one of the Schwein Flu's new victims. Well if he can cope as a ginge ...

I would only like it if I could choose who died


It would be awesome. There'd be about 25 people left on earth

Hundreds of thousands of people thru the world die from flu every year. What is so
different here? Confirmed swine flu deaths are about 500 worldwide. Hardly anything
major. Holy crap, almost as many die on roads in Ireland each year.

In the U.S. alone, 36000 deaths per year are attributed to Influenza. Now, less than 200 in the U.S.
have died from this hyped Swine Flu. Why all the silly hype?

Long Onion

I think it's because it has hopped from animals to humans - nevetheless, still a big disappointment just like bird flu. I think if we are going to insist on stealing diseases from animals we should forget the flu - it's crap.

What about Hippo herpes, rhino rickets or dingo dropsy - they would be some proper-ass diseases.

It's always easy to blame the poor animals. What if it was we who actually passed it to them? Did anyone think of that?

But at least my plan solves the overpopulation agenda. Yours is just cruel.

/edit: Oh right. Just read the thread. Thought it was about our dark desires to combat world population growth.

Pygmalion

I want a disease that wipes out half the world, spreads quicker than anything before, but leaves Ireland the **** alone, and doesn't **** with anyone who's death would inconvenience me in some way.
(So like it leaves the writers/actors in TV shows I like alone so they can continue afterwards, doesn't kill the people who run websites I like or make software I use etc.)

Too hopeful?

star.chaser

feeling that urge right now.

:PI would like a virus that puts everyone (Except Ireland ) into a comma for a week while we go and rob all there banks and become a rich nation
End of Stephen for us!!!
