You said that someone makes them live in seperate neighborhoods.

Posted by IrishWench01 at 9:24 PM : Apr 28, 2009

The people that I talked to said that they were made to live in their own neighborhoods. They said that the white people had their neighborhoods and the black people had theirs.

Well we all have problems in our own right and with this swin flu taking off like wild fire we just need to be careful on how we do our everyday chores. And if a person thinks we our racist gun shooting wild people then what can one do to try to change one's mine? Nothing can change this person from being an idiot so I can't waist my time chatting with an idiot with no idea about life in the states.Canada is ashame of you and your coments , and I pray that not all Canadians think the way you do .

".... Fairly well. 2 sick kids, but they are getting better. Worried about this flu. Possibly it has arrived in Colorado. They mentioned on the evening news that there are some possible cases. Awaiting confirmation :-( ..."

My friend IrishWench, please tell me you're kidding.

Are your children, or you, displaying a high fever or dizziness?

Hahaha! No, I can tell who she is almost immediately.: )

P.S. erasmus, when was the last time you had a first Nation in your house for dinner.

Posted by mrcrosby11

I told you that I have worked with First Nations people for years, as well as my daughters. Many of the people that we work with are also friends.

[erasmus111]

Exactly. Not felons, not kids... I know I am missing several groups.

Posted by slownewsday05 at 9:14 PM : Apr 28, 2009

Actually, kids are allowed to have guns in certain States. : ) I thought that it was limited to 14 year olds, but apparently in some states it's any age, providing they have a parents signature.

[erasmus111]

No, that is not a fact. It is your mistaken or uninformed interpretation or assumption.
Posted by IrishWench01 at 9:11 PM : Apr 28, 2009

Really? I read on here everyday about how everyone in your country has the right to bear arms? Is that a lie? And I also hear how something needs to change because all the mentally unstable can get a gun LEGALLY. I guess that's a lie too, huh?

[erasmus111]

You are the first and only person who has given me reason to think and feel negatively about Canada.

Posted by IrishWench01 at 9:04 PM : Apr 28, 2009

I don't give a rat's a** what you think. : ) And if you are defending the RACIST, you are an idiot too.

And as far as me knowing about the U.S., my family owned property there for years. I have many relatives living in the U.S. I also have been reading the stories on here and reading the comments for over two years.

Fellow citizens,

Earlier I posted warnings about the dire situation the swine flu contagion we are experiencing presents. These posts were mostly met with legitimate doubt and disbelief, and of course with some of the normal derision to be expected on a relatively free forum such as this.

For those with legitimate doubt and disbelief, I apologize, because in retrospect I shouldn't have made such extraordinary claims without some credible evidence for my warning. So I've spent some time gathering evidence that all can view, and judge for themselves.

For the most part the objections to my warnings fell into the two categories of simple disbelief that what we're facing is potentially as catastrophic as I believe, and questions of why no US deaths have yet been reported.

So I have found and referenced reliable documentation for my claims from the Los Alamos National Laboratory for evidence of the virus's potential rapid spread and contagion, and an article detailing research from the University of Wisconsin to explain why it mostly kills those between 20 and 50, instead of the very young and very old.

The point of my post is simply to convince as many as possible that they must call their governors and demand the immediate imposition of social distancing, which means the temporary closing of our borders, schools, businesses, public transportation, and a request that as many as possible stay in their homes. While this is indeed an extreme response, I believe the evidence I will present justifies these measures.

So first of all, let's see why I believe this virus, which while called the swine flu is actually a combination of swine, avian, and human influenza, is likely to spread to unacceptable levels without prophylactic (this means before infection is detected) social distancing.

If you go to "http://www.lanl.gov/news/images/avianflu.shtml" you can view three successive pictures of the Los Alamos supercomputer Pinks simulations of the spread of an airborne avian virus over 130 days, introduced by only 10 infected persons in LA, without prophylactic social distancing. These pictures represent the best we can hope for if we use travel restrictions, anti-viral drugs like Tamiflu, and limited social distancing after the detection of infection. The second picture (90 days) shows the best we can hope for.

The link at the bottom will show a Quicktime video of what we can expect with no action at all. If you can't view Quicktime then you can view the same video at "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htnh7pBBtrM"

For an explanation as to why no on has died yet in the US, you can read the article at "http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/17/AR2007011701113.html" for the University of Wisconsin's Spanish Flu study.

This article explains what can best be characterized as "Immune System Shock" where mature immune systems attack our bodies as much or more than the virus, and why young and old immune systems, because of their inefficient response, do not. This explains why we haven't yet experienced any deaths in the US, because so far the infected have been mostly young.

Fellow citizens, I have gone to this great effort to inform you not because I want to panic anyone, but so I can inform you of the truth we face, in hope that you will contact your governors so later panic will not be necessary.

My greatest hope is that you, and all those you love, never suffer, and never die such a horrific and needless death.

its amazing how some people look at the USA? We have guns and its a FACT that citys with no gun control have less crime then citys that do have control .DUHHH As fas as being racist we have people from every corner of the earth and we dont have black people living in seperate areas what an idiot .I think one should think before inserting ones foot in ones mouth! GOD BLESS THE USA! ENOUGH SAID!

[erasmus111]

Your speaking of a couple of nut-jobs. Did Canada not have a guy decapitate someone on a bus last year. So what is the difference. the guy on the bus was sleeping when the guy next to him cut his head off. So, what exactly is your point?
Posted by mrcrosby11 at 8:57 PM : Apr 28, 2009

That was ONE guy on a bus. We don't have stuff like this happening everyday. We don't have it happening every month or every year! Do you read your news? Like I said, how many mass shootings alone, have you had in the past month?

Thank you fellow citizen, but I'm here to discuss the threads topic, the swine flu and its potential death and destruction, not racism or small babies.

[slownewsday05]

I can't even count how many times that someone on this website has stated that black people live in seperate neighborhoods. So you are saying that isn't true? There are no black people living in their own neighborhoods? They were ALL lying, I guess.

Getting late, I'm getting tired. I guess it is obvious by my typos. Have a good night all
P.S. erasmus, when was the last time you had a first Nation in your house for dinner. I had my neighbor , who happens to be black, over the other night. And you call me a racist.
Posted by mrcrosby11

Good night, mrcrosby11. Have a good one!

[erasmus111]

We don't make black people live in seperate neighborhoods like you do. We don't have children that would chant "Assassinate Obama". You are still living in the dark ages.
Posted by erasmus111 at 8:35 PM .....

Who exactly are you refering to when you say "you"?
Posted by IrishWench01
I would like an answer to that as well. That comment sounds very racist to me. To think anybody make anybody do anything is extremely racist. Again, if you haven't heard, we have a black president now. So who is the racist here??

Is it not a fact that every American is permitted to have a gun?
Posted by erasmus111 at 9:07 PM ..

No, that is not a fact. It is your mistaken or uninformed interpretation or assumption.

Hope all is well in your corner of our great nation!

[slownewsday05]

I have never been to mexico so I am not qualified to speak about the ones that live there. I am however qualified to speak about the people from mexico that have broken into our country and live, illegally in the US
Posted by mrcrosby11

Sure. And if you say "You know, that stupid mexican look", then you are at least prejudiced.

I don't like illegals, either. But I don't generalize about them with prejudice as you do.

No big deal. Just making the point. I didn't think you'd go agreeing with me.
