WHO declares swine flu a global pandemic

[Kirsten]

However, the time and place should be taken into consideration and when we read that one of our dear PT members just lost someone to H1N1, then compassion is called for and not inappropriate humor. Saying "It's the way I am. Get used to it" is disrespectful.

Very well said!

Pom, do you think talking down to posters makes your point more credible? I find it insulting.

Yes death [EDIT]can be [/EDIT] funny. I have found humour in cancer and heart failure, members of my family have died from both. A close friend of mine, we grew up together, died after he lost control of his car and hit a light pole, that isnt going to stop me from laughing at traffic accidents in general.

The MSM is going to use the WHO to generate ratings. The more the MSM uses WHO to scare the viewers, the more ratings the MSM generates, and the more revenue they generate. The worst thing that ever happened to the nightly news was positive ratings.

Notice the CDC isnt freaking out over the Swine Flu.

What a shame that you have such a sick sense of humor when it comes to tragedy - I almost feel sorry for you.

And IMO - it's you and Reggie blowing things out of proportion in regards to media induced frenzy.

I'm done posting in this thread, as I will not continue to stoop to the level of certain individuals.

And again - my sincere apologies to Kirsten.

Dont be so sanctimonious Pom.

Some people break down in tears and sorrow when tragedy strikes, Im not one of those people, so you can allmost feel sorry for those that do.

WHO didnt try to fan the flames when they anounced that H1N1 reached phase 6, CNN did. What Collin and I are saying, the MSM has cried wolf to many time in the past in the name of ratings to be trusted now. The CDC seems to have learned the lesson, now maybe the WHO will do the same.

Trust me you have stooped below levels of those who have posted in this thread.
