bird flu...it's spreading over continents. the chicken brigade has toppled the al-qaeda from news headlines world over.
have you stopped eating chicken? does this new god forsaken disease make you think? more importantly has bird flu reached ur shores? do you think ur government is doing enough? will cooking the chicken well make the bird flu virus in the chicken immune towards us humans? r v gradually approaching judgement day?

Makes me think \"were all gona die\"!
Well not really....can't say im afraid of it,if its come and is already here then we can only hope the govt can do something in time.
seems like there is one disaster after another,maybe we are near the end times,who knows? ...But all the signs seem to suggest it: WAR,FAMINE,NATURAL DISASTERS GALORE,EVIL RULERS (Bush).
People will proberbly blame bird flu on Osama and Muslim extremists aswell.....

Well, it's not bothering me. If you listened to every single health scare out there you'd eat nothing. They're probably blowing it out of proportion, and using scare tactics looking at the worse-case scenario.
People in the UK - do you remember last Autumn the media saying this winter was going to be one of the worst and coldest on record, power cuts frequently, disruption to travel via blocked roads and rail cancellations..... If anything, it's been quite a warm winter!
Point is, there seems to be a lot of scare mongering going on. I don't know if it's the media sensationalising and exaggerating things, or the government scare mongering to get us to toe the line (or both), I'd say don't worry, ignore all the crap that's been said, and get those Chicken Nuggets down you!

Yeah i read the AIDS article it does seem plausible, to be fair
But i'm not too sure about this one, as regards to "terror". Terror has become overused and misplaced, anything of slight concern these days is branded as being something to do with "terror". As to where it came from, well, if you feed a chicken the mushed-up brains of its brethren, mixed in with shavings of pigs trotters, do you really think there will be no side-effects? Its definately man-made, though not intentionally, as some conspiracy nuts seem to be suggesting.

all these things are called moral pannics, they are made by the media for 2 reasons - they have noting interesting to report and 2 - to raise awareness and debate

i agree, chickens r fed practically anything. health of the chicken & poultry farm hygiene is the owner's responsibility which is taken for granted. birdflu is a result of human negligence.
terror...isn't this widespreading disease terrifying? you can keep track of the planes in the sky but can you put a check on the migrating birds.
@sammy, poultry farm workers have died due to this disease, it's getting kinda serious u know.

natures way of population control, last time I saw the death figures it was only 7 humans.... now im not saying its harmless, but asuming the world population is estimated to be 6581164443 (figures taken from
http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop) I think the average esato user has about the same chance as winning the euro lottery 8 times over all in a row rather then getting bird flue
