You can't even tell when your Nationalism-logic becomes irrelevant to the aims of (whatever topic, but especially science.) Even after it's (amazingly-patiently) Pointed Out in clear English. (Oh, as to whether a 'biz-science' exists.. other than the pseudo- sort whereby corrupt mathematicians invent 'instruments' intended to spread Risk amongst enough dupes as to evade jail, and similar cha cha cha -??- I dunno.) But the thought that there could be such an oxymoron (?) quite exceeds my ability to fantasize.
Post #308,740 by beepster 5/15/09 8:38:46 AM Reply	You be thankful because until that day that we become the global commune...there is still ours and theirs. We have plenty of our own need on the health front and somehow I don't see the behavior of chinese hookers solving any of those issues for us. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.
Post #308,764 by Ashton 5/15/09 4:52:49 PM Reply	Then I'll make it really simple, as in biz-simple: *AIDS* HOW, WHERE you 'study' the phenomenon of its spread, prevention, modified vectors etc. is about all aspects within the fields of immunology, epidemiology -- and the various ways that psych and human idiocy all interact. YOU are expert in not a single one of these (and other) related disciplines, let alone competent to perform triage amongst competing what-if-we-try-THIS? approaches re any proposed investigation, suggested by the informed. These decisions are not made by spreadsheet-math, remember? While you are unable to see the limits of your imagined omniscient ability to parse any issue, even well-beyond your ken: anyone Not-You can see the bloviation behind this pointless thread. Ayn Rand: now There's where your best capabilities for creating humor for others, lies. IMhO, of course. But please stay well-away from my Petri dishes. Or anywhere near the box labelled, DANGER !!! HV ON 'K??
Post #308,801 by beepster 5/16/09 1:05:57 PM Reply	One thing I am certain of ..don't want to have anything to do with your petri dishes at all. I can only push so far before the game is no fun, even for me. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.
Post #308,802 by Another Scott 5/16/09 1:25:13 PM Reply	Something to keep in mind, though... It's not a game. We all enjoy poking each others buttons here, but this story can have real consequences. When Congress gets goaded into changing policies as a result of people getting riled, as opposed to dispassionately examining the issues and considering the facts, it can have real consequences. C.f. what happened with the furor over crack cocaine. http://en.wikipedia...._v._United_States Cheers, Scott. (Who realizes the 54 users here probably don't have much impact on what Congress does ;-), but who doesn't like feeding destructive memes.)
