We are saying the same thing...that's also who i was referrig to;-) Muenkel....my post may have been too brief, but as I noted, people can do their own research.....but exactly, it is not mandatory, that's why I said I would be choosing NOT to Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

He he he...OK, I should have said SERIOUS hot topics...we all know the rest of my threads are *very hot n sexy*" Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Huh? What are you referring to JT? Re-read Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Some facts: "Based on studies from the 1960s, about 15 out of every 1 million people vaccinated for the first time will face life-threatening complications, and one or two will die. Reactions are less common for those being revaccinated." "In making the decision, Bush had to weigh the risks of the often-deadly disease against the dangers of the vaccine, which produces more serious side effects than any other vaccine dispensed in this country." "Many, including Dr. D.A. Henderson, a federal bioterrorism adviser who led the global campaign to wipe out the disease, believed this was enough. If smallpox appeared again, he and others reasoned, people could be vaccinated in an emergency campaign. The vaccine is effective if delivered a few days after being exposed to the disease. " "Once vaccinations begin, it will be important that certain people not get the vaccine because they face particular risk of side effects. That includes cancer patients, organ transplant recipients, people with HIV, pregnant women and people with a history of eczema. People who live with others who have these conditions also should not be vaccinated, because the live virus used in the vaccine can sometimes escape the inoculation site and infect others." You can do the rest of the research on your own...these quotes were taken from the Washington Post. While I think the first part of Bush's plan, to vaccinate troops and healthcare workers MIGHT be necessary; for the public, I'm not so sure. Like I said, there's pro's and con's to everything....it's up to each individual to weigh those themselves...I didn't urge anyone to believe as I did. I simply stated some pros/cons and then what I think and why. I posted b/c I'm curious what others think and why...like I said, I like hearing all points of view...and I'm not going to aruge anyone out of theirs if it differs from mine Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

You are right, I was referring to antibiotics in the first part... On the second part, however, you might check your facts to I am double-checking the 2/100 facts...I am almost positive that's what was on CNN this morning and on Talk Back Live yesterday. I'll get back to you....I should have, however, double-checked this before I posted...my mistake, whether it's right or not. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

*As a side note* If you have never read a book or taken a class on biotechnology, I HIGHLY recommend it. A lot of biotech stuff, I don't agree with, such as cloning, gene therapy, etc. However, b/c it's going to be so heavily in our society from now on I think it's important to learn about. Not only that, but whenever I have an opinion about something, I like to make sure I know all sides and points of view of the issue to make my best judgement and always be able to refute and accurately argue my point of view, if necessary (GENERALLY, I STEAR CLEAR OF SUCH ARGUMENTS, I prefer to let each do their own thing.) I realize that just as I feel strongly about one way, someone else may feel strongly about another way, and I would be a hypocrite for arguing with them, when they're only following their own beliefs, just like I do. But in the class I took, we learned about everything from the history of bioterrorism (experimenting in Japan on POW, etc.) and how it is done, gene therapy (injecting babies while still in the womb, to prevent possible future diseases), cloning, and some REALLY COOL things, like how all cars in Brazil run off waste and how economically and environmentally productive it is, and yet why we don't implement such things, here. Other cool things like impacts of oil spills and inventing bacteria that eat the oil to clean it up, etc....lot's of cool stuff, and lot's of uncool stuff but ALL of it interesting Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Normally I don't post hot topics in the news, b/c of the drama that entails, but this one is fairly light.... By 2004, the small pox vaccine will be available to all Americans. Pros: A lot of worried Americans, may not be so worried in case of a bioterrorist attack. Terrorists might think twice about using it as a weapon. Cons: The vaccine is quite dangerous, with a signifant death rate/side effects rate. Also, those who are sensitive to the vaccine, w/out even getting it, could die just by being close to someone who received it. It's not necessary at this point in time. Small pox has been erradicated for years. This might potentially bring the disease back. My personal beliefs....I don't put anything into my body, unless absolutely needed. I took an extensive biotechnology class over the summer, taught by a government biotec-scientist, who repeated on a daily basis, the need for Americans to NOT take antibiotics unless prescribed to by a doctor and then to make sure they follow the directions and really take them until the time is up (a lot of people quit when they feel better)....he also said, people taking vaccines when not necessary change their immune systems, thereby allowing diseases to mutate. That is a really brief and somewhat vague explanation on my part, but for the lack of time and space on here, you can do your own research But basically, my point is...if quite a few people take this vaccine, and then the virus IS introduced by terrorists, the chances are more likely that the virus will mutate, and they won't currently have a treatment for the new, mutated virus. I won't be taking the vaccine when it becomes available. Only in the event of a bioterrorist attack, would I do so. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Both. I would definitely buy a house, take a trip, spoil my friends/family, but even in doing so, I would still be looking for a good deal on the house, a good deal on the trip, and investing my $$$ wisely. I've discovered, when I get a nice return on my investments, it's SO NICE ot have that money just sit in my account for a while and not have to worry, if I'm somewhere and decide I want to do something, or buy something for me or someone else, or whatever, not to worry about $$$. To me, it wouldn't matter so much HOW I spent it, but just that I didn't have to worry about it anymore; to know that I could jump as much/often as I wanted, etc. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

How long will it take?" Me: "Just a couple minutes. Come here, make-out with me for a second and then play this fun game." BZ: "OK" HE HE HE HE HE HE!

OMG! I COMPLETELY fell for that....you made me scream like a girl...AND NOW YOU MUST BE PUNISHED. Ohhhh, it annoys me when girls scream and I just did it! I scared the shit out of poor little Sabre who was nestled in my lap.

The world is my slimy muscle covered in butter and hot sauce on a cracker? Mmmmm, just the way I like it! SudsyFist....I never say never, well, almost never But in this case, I'm pretty damn sure The only possibilities of continued education for me, do not involve UNF

It wasn't the most disgusting thing, but definitely the most horrifying. My friends and I, in high school, used to go to this alternative store/tattoo/piercing/everything else place around 11 p.m. before we'd go to the clubs downtown. You had to park in the back, in kinda a dark alley surrounding by bushes. When we were coming out, this crazy guy w/ SUPER WIDE eyes jumped out of the bushes, dong in hand, and started whacking off faster than I've EVER seen. I mean, REALLY fast...I'll never forget the look on his face...his eyes were so wide, his mouth wide open, groaning and whacking it like a race horse...not to mention we had to wait for our friend to unlock the doors to the car which seemed to take FOREVER while this maniac was only six feet from us. It really was awful...just imagine the scariest guy you've ever seen with wide eyes and a gapping mouth doing that. *Yikes* Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

He he he....I've been taking notes from Sunshine...she gave me some really good tips to continue on with my stalking Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

and since you are the first to say it...BEEEEER! He he he....I definitely passed my final today and that was no easy feat, having been so stupid as to go out drinking and playing pool last night at the raw oyster bar! I had to be at school at 7 a.m.! Ay dios mio! Starbucks wasn't even open when I left! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

with school...took my last final EVER today....I'M GRADUATING! It felt so weird in SUCH a good way driving away from school today, knowing I'll NEVER be going back there! I'm so stoked! Even more stoked b/c today I got a congrats card in the mail from the sexy Skymama! I'll be sleeping with it tonight...I hope she sprayed her scent on it Ha ha ha! J/k! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

He he he...oops...NO BLONDE JOKES!....it was still a sexy (AND TRUE) post though Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I drink Mich Light or Corona boys...be sure to bring your MasterCards Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Actually, I think BZ prefers my sexy tight shirt and shorts covered in bleach stains that I wear every week when I clean....especially when I'm bending over to scrub the tub...usually I have music on...I do the tub-scrub dance Why do anything if you can't have a sexy-good-time doing it?
