fix-this! Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Blame a country for a new strain Swine flu that is already treatable? the news media will blame them, you can bank on that. and for your info alot of people have died from this already and im not talking about just the elderly. Yeah but you said half of the population where you live are latinos, yup and most of them don't even care to try to learn english, it sickens me.

Popcorned1 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Love this comment on Digg This is such a non-story. I think the news media just likes to use the phrase "GLOBAL PANDEMIC". Let's look at their track record:Ebola = GLOBAL PANDEMIC!! SARS = GLOBAL PANDEMIC!! Drug-resistant TB = GLOBAL PANDEMIC!! Bird Flu = GLOBAL PANDEMIC!! Swine Flu = GLOBAL PANDEMIC!! Everybody chill out. It's just the flu. Everyone in the US who has contracted it has survived. The reason why Mexico has a death toll is because health care there is ****.

fix-this! Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Love this comment on Digg i agree the media does like to over hype things but we don't know what this thing will turn into. the good thing is in the states may ends the flu season. i once had the asian flu back in the early 90's and i was soo sick compared to the regular flu i thought i was going to die, i even missed a month of school.

sundayx Veteran Posted April 26, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2009 I rather the media over-hype something like this, and people getting ready for it, rather than it spreading all over the place and not have media coverage until it got severe.

+Elі Subscriber² Posted April 26, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted April 26, 2009 yup and most of them don't even care to try to learn english, it sickens me. lol hmmm then you do in fact seem to have something against the Latinos in your area at least :) Dude is never going to happen, God forbid things here in the US become so bad you had to immigrate to another country, I highly doubt it you would learn the new country's language at your age, Have you ever even tried to learn a new language, do you know how big the learning curve is? some people can't attain it no matter how hard they try, I tell you by my dad's own experience (I'm Cuban).

Gamerhomie Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 yup and most of them don't even care to try to learn english, it sickens me. Where I work it's about 5% white, 95% Latinos. 90% of them don't speak good English but about half of them are going to school currently to try and understand the basics. Even my dad who immigrated from Poland 25 years ago still has trouble with a lot of the English language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trashpickinman Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 My mom and step father RARELY wash there hands; wipe their nose with their hands and fix dinner, yep. rub their feet and then use the remote control, yep. eat food off the floor, yep. When I try telling them that the best way to prevent the flu, and it is here in Kansas, is to wash their hands, they use the excuse that the people who have the swine flu here in Kansas recently went to Mexico, all they said is that they'll probably eat out less. They act like they're living in the Middle Ages. They have no concept of communicable diseases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
