what does the news have to do with our argument? keep dodging all my questions, you can only reply with "youre retarded", "watch the news"

do you realize that we actually get a lot of important medical products from mexico? do you realize that ONE person has died from this in our country - and it was a mexican infant?

but no, you're right - let's close the border to one of our greatest trading partners despite the fact that the flu has already clearly lept the border. let's just think of some wild, hysterical reason to justify your bizarre agenda.

this is so blown out of proportion it makes me sick. fox news had a headline the other day : "The Next Black Death?"

Yeah, fox, the black death - we're at 1 person dead now. when we're approaching 50% of the population dying then we can talk about the black death, okay?

I'm obviously aware that it's not that big of a deal right now(in death numbers), but it doesn't matter how many people have died from it, what matters is how big it can become and how many people currently have it; theres way more then 1 person taht has it in the US, and yes I do agree with you that some media have blown it out of proportion but that's only because nothing has really been done about it to prevent a complete blow out, and alot of this can come from illegal aliens such as mexicans crossing the border.

104 people have it in the usa

in what way does this justify closing the border to one of our greatest trading partners? and, additionally, how can you say "I do agree with you that some media have blown it out of proportion" and at the same time advocate closing the border? clearly you must agree with those in the media that are being apocalyptic about this.

omg swine flu SHUT THE FUCK UP ITS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE.

oh wow some people in mexico died presumably to swine flu and the media is going batshit insane without any actual reporting going on just fear mongering SURPRISE. what is there like ONE fatality in the US, think about it ONE. wow guys we're all going to die let's going around wearing stupid retard masks as if that's going to help if there's some worldwide pandemic of deaht holyshiiiit. omg are you serious a flu strain that humans have never seen are infecting people at a rapid rate? omG!!!! give me a break, 100 people died in mexico or something. in a city of fucking millions 100 people died (only like 7 of them were confirmed swine flu), that's like a large classroom.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

I agree with them to an extent but not completely, they're headlines are to scare people, I'm not trying to scare anyone but just trying to make a point that shit can get bad without any1 realizing, and if it does get bad 1 of the reasons will be because we didn't close down the borders and take necessary precautions like other countrys have.

Except the government obviously DOES realize it. The CDC didn't choose not to close the border out of laziness, or idiocy, but because they legitimately weighed the consequences of closing the door to Mexico, and deemed that the costs outweighed the benefits. You can say you don't agree with their decision, but by no means is it dumb. Their priorities may be different from yours, but that doesn't make them stupid or insensitive.

and if it doesnt get bad will you admit that you were wrong and your plan would have extremely negative consequences? and if it doesnt go as badly as you are saying - and the consensus is that it will not - will you admit that your plan is hysterical?

Could this constant barrage of sensationalist media stories about this flu perhaps be a good thing for the economy? Get people out of their "money saving" attitude and back into their fear-induced spending!

CDC actually never considered closing the border, apparently they are not a bunch of retards who would think of shutting borders down to a flu.
Also you explaining things to someone who claims hundreds of thousands will die in the US. Come on, guy probably posting in this thread

stormfront is so incredible to visit every once in a while. blows my mind - it's exactly what you'd expect a satire to sound like.
