I think the USA's biggest problem with handling Ebola will be arrogance and apathy.

No more group buys for a while -- you just know an organizer is going to contract ebola if they start a new GB.

Quote from: Samuel Adams
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

I'm a little concerned since there are tons of keycaps sitting in Texas right now.  ???

Makes the thread asking if people wash their keycaps before using so much more relevant now.

Also I just had a package ship from Amazon's shipping center in Dallas, TX  >:D

People do know it's spread through bodily fluids, so unless you go around asking people to spit into your mouth, or are a medical professional, you are panicking for absolutly no reason and have been made a fool of by the modern media (probably not the first time playing the fool, since you are afraid of ebola.)

It's just like flu season precautions, except ebola is a fraction as infectious as the common cold.

Not too sure about that. Someone with this level of intelligence is likely to spray Lysol on her hard drive to get rid of a computer virus...

All intelligent people use Windows 98. And that is a proven fact. You just can't dispute settled science.

I have a feeling, judging by the intelligence of your writings, that you do not use Windows 98.

Does anyone else here think it's pretty messed up that some certain media sites are capitalizing on spreading ebola panic?

It's just people being opportunistic as always. If there's a crisis, some jackhole will find a way to profit from it, from price gouging emergency supplies during a hurricane to selling Y2K Survival Kits all the way back to selling snake-oil remedies, if there's a perceived demand, some ****bird is going to try to make an insane profit off of it.

well, we made some money out of people who believed the world to end in 12.2012.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

This Sunday I will be dressing up in a hazmat suit and going to a co-workers concert (he is in a band) with another co-worker. We are going to wear these suits and drink beer...

I'm so excited.
