I hope they're not lying, but at the same time i wonder why they would lie about this.
Your thoughts?

A rare ecoli strain has been found in several countries. This would be unusal to be found at the same time in several countries where they do not have the same suppler of the vegetable source. A friend of mine at Emory said that they did not want to overreact but it looked like a terrorist act. what do you think?
E.coli outbreak 'was rare strain'

The rare strain is more difficult to detect in tests
A rare strain of E.coli O157 was behind the outbreak of the bug linked to a nursery in Fife, according to experts.
Health Protection Scotland (HPS) said the strain had been seen in Europe and Australia but was rare in the UK.

A spokesman said the unusual bacterium was hard to identify and clinicians were being urged to be vigilant when testing samples.

The strain has been linked to 13 cases in Dunfermline, four other single cases in Scotland and four cases in England.

HPS said it was working with its sister agency in England to determine the possible origin of the bug, known as Sorbitol-fermenting Vero cytotoxin.

HPS consultant Dr John Cowden said clinicians had been urged to ensure the unusual strain was not missed when dealing with samples from patients who were suspected of having any kind of E.coli O157.

'Identical symptoms'

He said: "This unusual strain reacts differently in the laboratory from other types of E.coli O157 and this is why we are interested in finding out more about it.

Do you honestly believe that poor or elderly people are too stupid to get one? Or do you honestly believe that they can not afford the 10-20 bucks to buy one every (what is it?) four years?

I have taught high school with over 90% of my students being from poverty level. They claim they can't afford anything, but they always seem to have:
TV with cable/sat.
playstation/game console
Enough cash to buy pop/chips/etc every day at school.

I know this point mainly applies to my students, but it just always comes up in my mind when I hear people say requiring an ID to vote is wrong!

This is also my point when I read an article stating that dead people voted.

I didn’t think anyone could possibly take me seriously when I blamed Bush for all the auto accident deaths since the invention of the seatbelt

Are there that many wackos out there that claims like this are no longer obviously facetious?

There is a debate on the capital punishment. Some say that capital punishment should be there in a country criminl law. Other say capital punishment shold not be there in any country's law. Some countries practce such a punishment; be it under the aproval of the president or the prime minister what ever the top person of the country. There are countries who never practce capital punishment.

What is your position and why?

Thank You

Why do they parrot back the same B.S. that they hear from other conservatives/Republicans? Can they not think for themselves? Seriously, it's pathetic. You guys can't even back yourselves up when you call us that name. The President has said "I am the decider!" and made it clear he doesn't have to follow every law he personally believes is "unconstitutional"...we have a reason to call him a fascist and/or Nazi. But you guys have no reason to call us Commies. COME ON! Welfare programs? Is that why? Well it sure as hell beats having less money in the pockets of average middle class citizens...which is an effect Bush has created.
