While the world understands the swine flu isn’t really about the pigs, Egypt goes on slaughtering:

I think that the Egyptian government cannot tolerate the native Christian culture in their country. Next time, as an excuse, the Egyptian government will burn the Christians alive before it’s too late. America must create a Christian state for Christians in Egypt as the Americans did for Muslims in Yugoslavia. If the pig is bad, the person who created the pig is worse than the pig.

Following this ‘logic’, would the Egyptians have killed all the Legionaires because of Legionaires Disease?

DsCs – This kissing post, based on recommendations from the Lebanese Health Minister, was a joke.

I have no secret desires to kill off humanity, nor do I sleep in any of the conditions you mention above. I happen to like feather pillows.

It does hurt my soul, however, to see animals being raised (and culled) in inhumane ways. I’ve worked on a farm, and I see how dairy cows are kept in cramp conditions, their calves pulled away from their mothers months before they should stop weaning to live in a 1×2 meter cage. Have you ever heard the cry of a calve for its mother, while we humans lap up its milk. It’s very very disturbing. Then there are the antibiotic injections…

This makes me wonder if it’s an example of the Egyptian government seizing on the opportunity to rid its country of pigs, and its collection of pig farmers. There’s absolutely no need to kill all these animals, so it’s either a really really stupid move on part of the Egyptians, or a well orchestrated purge under a thin veil of legitimacy.

ORGANIC?!?!?! Show me an inorganic pig, and we’ll talk…. Free range animals are less safe to eat than commercially grown animals, because you can never be sure WHAT free range animals have eaten. Ever heard of the “milk sick” that killed Abraham Lincoln’s mother? That is because the animal ranged free and ate food which made its milk poisonous. In preceding centuries that kind of thing was NOT all that uncommon. It is, after all, just a dumb ANIMAL, people. Saying that the disease spreads faster in crowded commercial farming conditions is a silly banality; it STILL doesn’t tell us where “swine” flu came from.

I also saw a missive on this site about not kissing in order to stop the spread of swine flu. Saliva KILLS the virus you dopes. You have to BREATHE it in to catch it. Keep kissing… just hold your breath.

Either Green freaks knowingly propose stuff that is dangerous to people (because they all secretly have a wet dream about massive kill-offs of the human species when they lay down to sleep on their non-bird-feather, hypo-allergenice pillows), or they actually have an honest, knee-jerk reaction to ANYTHING that humans do as being negative. In either case, we all tend to forget that since the advent of mass commercial food production around 1890, the average life expectancy has nearly doubled. This “organic” fever as a magic bullet to a safer food supply is getting to the point of being a mental disorder.. Its nuts.

This gives me terrible memories of the mass slaughter of cattle in the UK a few years back – what was it – foot and mouth disease…. needless, inhumane, knee jerk reactions…. and do these Countries learn anything after outbreaks & culls? No, agriculture and food production rolls on the same, with intensive cattle rearing, non-organic, non-free range practises, which of course will expose animals both to illness & miserableness…..

…but underneath all the hysteria & media panic mongering here in the UK, some small sane voices of non-Govt scientists are emphatically saying this strain of flu CANNOT be caught from animals – pigs, pork, or meat products. This fact may not be so relevant in Israel, but the message needs to be heard in Egypt & around the world.
