Swine flu is just a distraction?!

[Meepster]

My mom thinks so. Alot of people are saying that H1N1 is just a diversion, and is not real because of the economy crisis. Apparently it's planned by the Government, and some scientists are trying to prove this right by doing their own tests on victims.

I say it's working, cause every time i turn on the TV and go to the news, it used to be economy and TSX bullcrap, but now its all about swine flu.

Your thoughts?

[Fleek]

of course it's a distraction, that's what america does.

if you couldn't figure that out on your own then you're a fucking dumbass

[Digital-Terror]

The economy is repairing itself, and H1N1 is completely harmless.

We need another 9/11, so that the media can stop bitching about pointless shit.

[Yorik]

Yeah, as if people would forget about economic crisis.

[JackFox]

It's not a diversion as much as it is the media drawing way too much attention toward the matter and over-hyping the situation.

[Mr-Money]

Well, actually, MEXICO's population was slated to uprise against their government. With the swine flu, the government has claimed special powers, so yeah. Not cool.

[Twilight]

Your mom knows too much and will be shot sometime today.

[Fleek]

the economy isn't repairing itself at all, the government is making it worse by issuing more government jobs to make it look like unemployment isn't rising but we have to pay more money

By america you mean the U.S., right?

Yeah, except it didn't start in the U.S. and it doesn't only affect the U.S.

Your theory is right in that it is distracting us from the economy and such.

But, the government didn't plan it.

sorry, they just didn't

but the U.S's government is much, much worse than most of the governments out there currently, with Obama heading the ship we're sinking fast

[I-RULE-OVER-ALL]

The media is just inciting fear to manipulate the public, so Obama can push for all his programs be promising "relief" for problems that aren't really that bad, for example this "Great recession" isn't nearly as bad as the one back in the 1970's, but the media is saying this is the next "great depression" to get people afraid, so they support Obama because he promises to make every thing "disappear"

And for all oof you people who are going to bash me let me tell you now, I'm not republican, I'm a Reagan Conservative, although I don't believe in political parties, and you can even look and talk to a survivor of the great depression and they will yell you the same as I.

Hopefully the public will start to look past the curtain and see that Obama is just a puppet.

Conspiracy theories are retards who think they know more than everyone else because they read some stoned college kids blog on the internet.

Widespread panic over a pandemic is alot worse that widespread panic about the economy. It'd be like me cutting your arm off to make you forget about scraping your knee.

I wouldn't say they planned it but I'm sure that once the story broke a lot of politicans went "well this could be useful" and decided to exploit it. That and the media going "ooooh, new horror story to get everyone watching"

Wait, so you want a 9/11 2 so the media stops bitching about the 'pointless shit' so they go back to the 9/11ish bullshit?

Have you seen the stock market lately, it's going up as we speak, and not by some number, it went up like 500 points in the last week alone.

So... your saying we should cut off our arms? TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

[zer0gravity1]

What economic crisis? Are small children lining up for food at a Salvation Army? No. It's just a recession, really. People need to calm down. The economy will fix itself. Slumps are natural.
And H1N1 wouldn't spread if people would cover their mouth and nose with a tissue or their arm, not their hands when the cough/sneeze, and wash their hands more often.

[mariopsp]

Nobody cares about the swine flu anymore.

[FLAMEBOY97]

the media is just delaying the real shit!

well, DUH.
Isn't it obvious that mainstream media just alters our mind? They can make people panic, they can make people decide who to vote on. They can distract them from things they don't want the people to worry about. What they want us to see is what we get to see.
