    1) I noticed a new one, or maybe it was to be expected.

    Pro-arab = anti-american.

    (So I could assume the replyee implies whatever is anti-american can safely be removed without their knowledge)

    In this one, the replies say it's "leftist" thinking, I didn't see anything of that, just opinions.

    The bushism WP article is still up, even with a want of changing it to "Bush opponents select quotes from his speeches to create an impression of incompetence. Other politicians make just as many mistakes, but get a pass (see liberal media bias)."

    So the main thing seems to be whatever the media indoctrinates as "american" one should (as a right-ist) blindly follow.

    For "crackpots" I mean them in the "anti-science" way, whatever questions commonly held scientific facts based on psychedelic induced visions, or just plainly thinking about it (philosophy). (Now is that more left or right? Must train my stereotyping skills)

    In relation to "blindly follow", here's some crackpot theory:

    - Doubt as sin -
    Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature - is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. What is wanted are blindness and intoxication and an eternal song over the waves in which reason has drowned.

    Still, something of note:

    Deviantart is a shit-site that you might not care about, but I noticed something really strange about the Google "indexing"...

    Any kind of communication on the site is saved in the "comment" subdomain. (If you delete a pic/journal the comments on them are still stored)

    So to find something easily, you just do site:deviantart.com inurl:comments

    comments.deviantart.com/5/6169392/159452388

    You know what we do next? We take the first 10 words from that text, and we search for them.

    I tried this a week ago, and now I was thinking Google might of noticed that and indexed it, or something.

    Has it?

    No.

    THE FIRST HIT OF NEAR A MILLION.

    Something else of note is the last number in the address, 159452388

    159,452,388

    160 million.

    There has only been 160 million comments, and Google somehow has indexed 6x the amount.

    (Trust me, ok, the other numbers are just for sorting)

    That's easy to explain though: because of the tree structure ("nested" on slashdot) of comments.

    But what should that mean? THAT I'D GET MULTIPLE RESULTS.

    So what does this whole anti-indexing mean?

    Now, a link to the ugliest site in the universe (The author seemingly surfs with 640x480 4/8-bit in win3.1... and uses the evil empire's toolbar)

    Google cares about bloggers, why, you might ask? Bloggers make links a lot, Google likes this, it "improves" their PageRank.

    That is, if there weren't such a thing as "commercial interests". Which is the whole reason the retarded "splogs" word exists, because Google is so damn good at indexing their own blogging service. I've also seen some spam which didn't contain links at all, just "mind control". Searching on part of the message (crazy huge 2k words) returned 7k hits.

    Another thing I just figured out (wow that's great mr smartypants) is any link is counted as positive. I would think a truly honest writer (journal-ist, blog-er, diary-ist) presents just as much positive as negative thoughts (and thus, links) on subjects.

    Righto, so back to mr ugly: "One reason why Google is stinkin' rich is because webmasters have never been organized. Even today there are no associations of webmasters that can represent them in court. [...] A copyright decision that addresses search engines in terms of opt-in as opposed to opt-out, would make the web a better place. It may also help solve some of the privacy issues and identity-theft problems that occur when crawlers grab files that they should not be allowed to have"

    I think he at least mentions something I haven't thought about, as opposed to mr F-google who just repeats the same shitty drivel over and over, and is of course, a fucking blog. That also brings to light something else - as opposed to websites, the only thing that matters is "speed", you won't notice revisions or any formatting beyond linebreaks (and those stupid ass pictures he must spend half of the site-updating-time to) or any sorting beyond "by date".

    Well, it was a quick writing, so 1 error I see now is writing 30% regeneration instead of 3%. Right, after re-reading the September 1993 issue of Spin magazine, interview with professor Peter Duesberg [WBM], some quotes:

    With drugs, the dose is the poison. You take one aspirin, you lose your headache, you take 200, you drop dead. You smoke one pack of cigarettes, you're fine, but if you smoke two packs of cigarettes [a day] for 10 or 20 years, you may get emphysema. It is the same with drugs. If you snort a line of cocaine on a weekend, you probably won't notice the difference. But if you inject it intravenously two or three times a day, that's when the toxicity shows up. We're designed to take some shit. But we're not designed to inject cocaine three times a day. People have been having a little cocaine in their tea in South America, yes, but not injecting it three times a day, and nobody was inhaling nitrites - nitrites are toxic as hell. Nobody was taking amphetamines at those doses; they were not available. That's what's new.

    *

    An autoimmune disease is a misdirected immune response. It cannot tell a harmful virus from a harmless one, it overreacts. If the virus were the trigger, that should follow as soon as the virus gets in you.

    *

    They call it "Idiopathic CD-4 lymphocytopenia." Or ICL. When you're HIV-free now, it's no longer called AIDS.

    *

    They accept what you call "presumptive diagnosis" - AIDS cases without HIV tests. You know what that means? The guy wears a leather jacket, has an earring, and is coughing. And he's from San Francisco. That's an AIDS case. I don't even have to check it, his physician thinks.

    [...] Even in the latest AIDS definition, in January 1993, they allowed presumptive diagnosis. In other words, a good number of them even now will be reported without an HIV test.

    *

    Now, what's the prediction for a non-infectious disease, a toxic disease? One of them is, it's not distributed equally between the sexes or randomly in the population, it's distributed according to exposure. The smokers are the ones who get lung cancer, the nonsmokers hardly ever get it. The alcoholics get the liver cirrhosis and not the milk drinkers. And so it's exposure to the toxin. The health consequences are not immediate. You don't get sick from one cigarette. It takes years of build-up. You have to reach a certain threshold of toxicity.

    *

    In 1984, in Science, Gallo said HIV kills T-cells and that is the cause of AIDS. Also in 1984, in May, he signed under oath to the U.S. Patent Office that this same virus can be produced in permanently growing human T-cells. And these T-cells are still growing in his laboratory, in dozens of companies on this planet, enough to conduct at least 25 million tests per year in this country alone, over 20 million in Russia, millions all over the world. These T-cells have yet to die.

    [...] If I understand you correctly, if you isolate the polio virus, and you apply it to healthy cells, it will infect those cells?

    It will kill those cells in 8 hours.

    *

    That is the reason why we have chased retroviruses so dearly in the last 20 years, because we thought they might be a cause of cancer. Because they don't kill cells. That's why Gallo is a retrovirologist, or David Baltimore [Nobel Prize-winning researcher who discovered reverse transcriptase] or me. We were chasing this class of viruses as possible carcinogens. Cancer is caused by cells that grow out of control, not by cells that are dying.

    What about teenagers with AIDS?

    780 in the United States in the last ten years, so divided by year that's 78 per year in a country with 30 million teenagers. A third are hemophiliacs, another third are gay prostitutes, and another third are IV-drug users who started at 10 and 11. Those are your 780 American teenagers with AIDS. That's not a lot. The only significant number in people under 20 are the infants. One-or twoyear-old, possibly three-year-old babies born with AIDS in Europe and in America. A full 80 percent of them were born to mothers who were injecting drugs during pregnancy. These kids are intrauterine junkies. They have been on drugs since before they were born.

    What about the other 20 percent?

    Another 5 or 10 percent are congenital conditions like hemophilia. Some are simply infant mortality under a new name, "ghetto kids." Infant mortality is higher in this country than in all comparable industrialized nations. We have the suburbs, where you get every health care you want, and then we have places like Harlem, Richmond, Oakland, deep impoverished conditions, that you don't find in Europe where you have socialized medicine. Starvation, malnutrition, all these kinds of things. Teenage mothers who run away from the kids, or are working on the streets while the kids are alone at home. Those are the American AIDS babies.

    Is it really true that the death rate among hemophiliacs with HIV is identical to those without HIV?

    As far as we can tell from the few studies available, it's the same. In fact, the irony is, it is probably even lower. And I tell you how I arrived at that. There are 20,000 American hemophiliacs, 75 percent of them are HIV-positive. 75 percent-or 15,000-have HIV, for nearly ten years now, because as of 1984-85 they started AIDS testing, so they eliminated blood with HIV. Now, in the last 10 to 15 years, the median age of hemophiliacs has doubled. They are now twice as old as they were 10 to 15 years ago. The fact is, during that same 10 to 15 years, the Factor-VIII treatment has been developed and perfected and everybody gets it. That's the clotting factor that's missing in hemophiliacs, extracted out of blood donations and because they extract it, you extract viruses, too; that contaminated FactorVIII. But they are irrelevant, mostly harmless things, because a blood donor is typically not a terribly sick person-you wouldn't collect blood from somebody who's dying from a disease. So these are usually your ubiquitous little microbes that don't harm you. As a result, they picked up HIV. So the treatment that also brought them HIV has doubled their life.

    HIV didn't hurt them?

    No. In fact, it disproved the virus hypothesis in the largest human experiment ever done. 15,000 people infected with HIV. And now they live twice as long as hemophiliacs ever lived before in history. Better, longer.

    It's really an overwhelming point. It's not a minor experiment. We have a huge population: 15,000 people with HIV. Sure, it's true, some of them get what they call AIDS now. But they get less of it than they did before, and they get it because of transfusions. Because even now, they constantly get these transfusions. They need FactorVIII. It's not chemically clean, and that is immunosuppressive.
