<p>LOL! </p>

<p>[The</a> Associated Press: Egypt orders slaughter of all pigs over swine flu](<a href=“http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jc_pijXYi6E50wDepameI2ZTf9iAD97S7UPG2]The”>http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jc_pijXYi6E50wDepameI2ZTf9iAD97S7UPG2)</p>

<p>i was playing gta iv and there was an interview on their radio stations of a kid who had the genius plan of ending world hunger by killing all the starving people</p>

3

<p>Thats just silliness…</p>

4

<p>Makes no sense to me. Literally everything I’ve read has stated that this strand of the swine flu is passed from person to person. Are they going to kill themselves as well?</p>

5

<p>Even European countries are starting to stop all bacon imports…</p>

<p>I guess I ought to be more cynical. I never expected this level of irrationality.</p>

6

<p>We were actually talking about this in english today…</p>

<p>ARE EGYPTIANS EFFING ■■■■■■■■? Swine flu doesn’t even transmit through swine anymore. Is there like a single voice of reason in that country?</p>

7

<p>I’m surprised they had pigs in the first place…doesn’t Islam abhore the consumption of pork? Not that everyone is Egypt is Muslim of course…I’ll bet they were just looking for an excuse to kill some pigs :p.</p>

</p>

<p>If you think you’re kidding you’re actually exactly right. The Muslim majority government doesn’t really want people eating pigs but doesn’t really want to legislate against it either. But given the proper excuse…</p>

9

<p>They’re paying the farmers back, whats the difference between that and having the US government take someones land? eminent domain…</p>

10

<p>what the heck?
Why don’t they slaughter the people then? this IS man-to-man spread…</p>

<p>this is no different from genocide…except it’s with pigs.</p>

<p>Egypt killed 25 million chickens during the avian flu scare too.
this is beyond stupid and despicable in my opinion.</p>

11

<p>Lulz, Egypt, Lulz.</p>

12

<p>Comparing People to Pigs is more ■■■■■■■■ than actually killing pigs.</p>

13

<p>“this is no different from genocide…except it’s with pigs.”</p>

<p>Uhh… that’s a pretty huge difference.</p>

14

<p>Ignore the PETA nuts…</p>

15

<p>I don’t understand all this “calm down”, “it’s just a flu” nonsense. I mean NOW is the time to start panicking, if you start panicking when everyone’s already dead and you and a few survivors are fighting each other for the right to eat a decomposed human arm for sustenance, then it’s just too late.</p>

16

<p>I don’t think “panic” is the right word to use. Should we ever react to anything by panicking? </p>

<p>Sure, we ought to take precautions against this outbreak, but you can’t dispute that Egypt is acting irrationally. </p>

<p>We KNOW that swine flu is spread from person to person –> Slaughter all pigs!</p>

<p>This reasoning does not follow.</p>

<p>"This reasoning does not follow. xxxx (mwl - 2.19.2009) –> " I don’t know what that is…</p>

17

<p>^that was weird</p>

<p>and yes, always ignore the PETA nuts…</p>

18

<p>OH NOES! <em>shrieks</em></p>

<p>Did we really need to bump a thread nearly a year old that has a disgusting and deplorable topic? -.-</p>
