Oh, okay, so it's about a particular strain rather than just, "some strain may come along that could do this"? Thanks for reading it for me, BTW. Check's in the mail and all that.
If I read the article, would it explain why there are more tests on this needed rather than just reviewing case studies from the Spanish Flu of 1918 that's already in history books?
Given that the last two U.S. presidents are known to have used cocaine, and the last three to have smoked marijuana, I think that happened a while ago.
Libertarian a re a group of people who don't know history, and use scare word to show why they don't like something and not facts..mostly because they have no clue about the organizations the hate. Incapable of thinking deeply, or realizing they aren't the only people on the planet.
Right -- tell me more about how you yourself are not using scare words instead of facts.
If Ron Paul had used a process like this, or even a normal state court, to sue someone who had stolen something from him, I wouldn't have said anything, because I that in the world in which we live there's no realistic alternative. But that's not the same thing as this situation, where he used this process to take something that wasn't his.
How are the rules voluntary? If you have a domain name that you want to keep, and someone is trying to take it from you using this process, can you simply tell ICANN (spun off by the feds and still intertwined with them) and WIPO (part of the dreadful UN system) to go piss up a rope? No, of course not.
As for being honorable, I didn't mean to say that Ron Paul is the antichrist here, and I certainly don't mean to minimize the many good things he's done. But this isn't one of them.
As a libertarian, I find the level of contortion you're willing to accept to defend Ron Paul's hypocritical approach to this issue is pretty awful.
The UN is a cartel created by the politicians of the world to serve their own interests. Every dime they get is stolen. Your Rockwell quote makes it sound akin to a non-profit organization like the United Way. Hardly.
And even if one accepts that ridiculous premise, if nothing else, Ron Paul has been amazingly foolish for walking into a situation that makes him look like a hypocrite, especially now after having earned the nickname "Dr. No" for his stolid Congressional voting record.
His actions here are a blight on his reputation and on the libertarian movement of which he's such a prominent part. Rockwell's bread has been buttered by Ron Paul for decades, so I suppose I understand his leaping to Paul's defense, but the rest of us should be more loyal to the truth than to one man.
I wasn't criticising you; it's nice that you want to help others reach their goals. But it seems to me that if so few people there speak Portuguese well that they cannot effectively disseminate it amongst their own countrymen, then devoting resources to it seems like a mismatched development priority, especially when a whole continent full of eager Anglophones is right next door.
If they can't do it themselves, then how important can it possibly be? Besides, if you really want to go teach them something, why not teach them English instead?
I suppose someday the US might become a Spanish speaking nation, and that's totally fine. But we're far from that reality and currently Asian nations are economically dominant and on the rise. Of course, it's not feasible to keep switching languages every time some new nation rises in influence, which is why we've got English as the standard and why everyone continues to learn that.
Much of the U.S. is already bilingual. But learning Spanish isn't just a good idea for use at home, it's useful rather far afield -- more people in the Western Hemisphere speak Spanish than English. Asian languages might be trendier, but if you can't find good international business opportunities somewhere between the Rio Grande and Drake Passage, then the problem isn't with the language you studied.

It's not like you can just decide to apply the Latin rules and be done with it.
So, what you're saying is "Grammatik macht frei"?
Both of you are doofi.

FWIW, I'm vegan and I can't stand them because people end up thinking that we're all like them. Ugh!
Conveniently, that could also mean "just too stupid".
Troll? Really? It was an actual question!

No kidding! I mean, have you ever SEEN a virus? Of course not, they're way too small, say those "scientists". How convenient, right? ~

ETF, actually, which doesn't have the same ring to it, especially if you were having a Liv Tyler moment there.
Wow, and I thought the conspiracy theorists had a absurdly distorted view of history!

Because you don't understand it.

Clearly, Libertarians are libertarian only for as long as it allows them to make more money. Otherwise, they're perfectly happy to invoke regulations.
No, clearly Ron Paul is. Nice try, though.
Why not? May all your dreams come true.

Oh, I know. I was just trying to take the cheap road to funny.

And by useful, that means whichever language group has girls you think are the hottest, learn that one.
