Not really Darwinism when the people getting shot include doctors etc. Also, letting an ebola outbreak spread "in peace" threatens the rest of the world.

Also also, that's generally a pretty shitty thing to say. Were you having a bad day? Wasn't talking about the doctors. But the people who endanger their lives and others with superstitions and attacking medical workers. Not really a shitty thing to say. Mother nature has a way of balancing it out. Europeans went through a few diseases and eventually they developed an immune system and resistance to a few diseases.That will never happen with constant intervention and help for the Africans. The truth is still the truth on a good day or a bad day and I don't let my emotions and personal feelings cloud my judgement or opinions.You,I imagine being a liberal base and form most of your opinions on emotion and think I do the same(i.e saying i'm having a bad day),but my opinions are based on facts and I don't change my opinions depending on my mood. Liberals (progressives) do it's why the world is such a mess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddyfool 379 Posted July 4, 2019 Everyone likes to think that those who think as they do are the more rational, and that those who disagree are more emotional and irrational. But there are wise people, fools and madmen on both sides of most mainstream political divides. Ebola, after the deeply unpleasant experience of bleeding internally and from every orifice while also having high fevers, vomiting, diarrhoea, joint pains etc, kills about half of those it infects, and usually leaves survivors in one or more of the positions of being bereaved, traumatised, stigmatised, or disabled. This is only the second large outbreak we've seen; the first wreaked havoc on the three countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, particularly devastated their health systems, since healthcare workers were dying by catching the virus off their patients; and it took the US, British, and French militaries working in concert plus the invention of a vaccine to stop it. No such western military intervention is taking place in the eastern part of the DRC as of yet. This outbreak has yet to truly go international; Ugandan containment efforts have so far been up to the task of stopping spread across their border, and it seems yet to have reached the other borders of the DRC. It may yet be stopped or burn out without such intervention, but only time will tell. Incidentally: "Europeans went through a few diseases and eventually they developed an immune system and resistance to a few diseases.That will never happen with constant intervention and help for the Africans."... The whole world's population has been through quite a few diseases and developed resistance. But I don't think that the European population has any advantage to the African population in this way, nor that they are any more evolved overall. Differently adapted to different environments, with different points on the sunburn:vitamin D deficiency axis, or on the haemoglobinopathy: malaria susceptibility axis, certainly. But not better or worse overall. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddyfool 379 Posted July 13, 2019 Incidentally, with regards to my first paragraph, it's worth noting that generally most people are much less rational than you might expect: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont-change-our-minds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
