Should diseases be destroyed?

feeds@yuku.com (Mak Manto) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:04:49 GMT

I was at dinner about a week ago with a friend, and the topic of the swine flu was brought up, so we were discussing the government's overall effort to stop it, medical issues, etc. Well, it somehow turned into a discussion of destroying a disease.

What we meant by destroying a disease was this. We started discussing smallpox, which has infected people for thousands of years. In the 19th and 20th century, huge leaps were made for curing every person in the world. In 1979, the...

WASHINGTON - A majority of House members voted late Saturday night to pass the health care bill, spurred by a summons from President Barack Obama to "answer the call of history" and expand coverage to millions who lack it. The bill passed 220-215.

For a long time now, I've liked women who are brunettes. The color of a woman's hair is somewhat important to me. Brunettes come off as sexy and intelligent, while blondes are hot and exciting. Somewhat of a tossup, but I've always preferred brunettes.

Redheads, for some reason, never did anything to me.

I was sitting here in the school computer lab bored, ya know? So I decided to come on TGC, I figured there might be something mildly entertaining to post in. So I looked and looked and looked but found nothing.

However, sitting here so long has given me a chance to smell my dick and dang it......it smells like +*#@ rotting inside the bowels of a corpse. I think that chick I slept with before class had vaginal diarrhea.

Please discuss.

I doubt many of you care; and I'm sure that this thread will probably be deleted/archived fairly quickly, but I'm telling everyone nonetheless. I've recently undergone a major change in my life and my convictions, and swallowing my pride (a hard thing for me to do, being as proud a person as I am) I recant my previously professed atheism and anti-Christian sentiments. I'm a Christian, a believer, and an extremely confused and bewildered one at that. As I felt this change...

Shery's Sorta Couch Potato to 5K - starting next week

feeds@yuku.com (Shery) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:40:48 GMT

Well, the last few months before I went backpacking in India were horrible. I was depressed and wasn't really functioning. Next week I'll be back home and if there's something I found out about myself - the key to minimize my "bad days" is by staying active. So I'm going to do the "couch potato to 5K", starting the week I get back home.

Naturally, I'll also be doing other stuff (like DDR and using my bicycle) but I really wanna be able to run...

30 GOP Senators Say “Rape is OK” for Govt Contractors

If you are a constituent of one of these senators, we'll send your letter directly to him. If your senators both voted for the amendment, we'll send your letter to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell -- who also voted against it and leads the GOP in the Senate.

Thirty Republican Senators voted that it's okay for the US government to do business with companies that that require employees to agree that they cannot sue the contractor if they are gang raped by fellow...
