You're all so wrapped up in the excitement that "this might be the big one" that you can't see that you're getting swept up in the hype.
The sad thing is that most of you read like you're secretly enjoying this, like it'll be a big adventure if people start dropping like flies.
its usually easier to get your point across without subtle insults like calling people non thinking human beings.
why do you assume people are hoping this will be the big one? maybe people have friends, family , and children that they care about and they want to
be on top of something that could potentially affect their lives.
you call it hype. well go to mexico city and tell those people they are getting worked up over nothing.
for being above most of the people on this website as you might think you are , you have a poor way of communicating with people you dont agree
with.

Not at all elitegamer.
The problem as I see it is that people are preprgrammed to respond to certain triggers whether they appreciate it or not.
The people on this board, for example, have chosen to accept the conspiracy/big one/ etc kind of trigger, and consequently they post with a kind of
"told you so," "I knew it," "bio-engineered problem," kind of reply, which has an underlying psychological call of "I am vindicated," or "I
knew this would happen, I'm right & you are wrong" attitude.
Consequently, what you end up with is a load of people who are happy if this pans out to be a major disaster becasue it meets their expactations, or
more properly it qualifies the scenario that justifies their own internal views of who they are and why they are superior to the "ordinary" people
out there.
Sadly, if you put your disagreement with my comments aside & deeply analyse your own thoughts, then you'll realise that you are enjoying this, it is
exciting, and makes you feel warm & fuzzy in your pants, like you are suddenly not a fruitcake anymore, but a visionary genius.
As much as I disagree with the extremely poor manhandling of people generally by government, and the fickle double standards that we all have to live
by, if you look at the facts you will see that this is blown out of all proportion and in fact represents nothing other than another kind of
distraction.
What you need to be asking yourself is a distraction from what?
Time will tell who is right & who is wrong, but when this pans out to be nothing then I hope that you will find it within yourself to apologise to me
and to acknowledge that it was nothing more than a distraction, fuelled by the idiots who claim without justification that "10% of everyone who
contacts this will die."
While you're focussed on this nonsense you're missing what the magician is doing with his other hand.
Just to pre-qualify my statements, I have written a number of books on psychology, and more appropriately the effects of propaganda and marketing on
peoples thought processes and behaviour.
So I'm more than qualified to make this call, more so than the "scientist" who promotes himself on this board.
Of course, if I'm wrong it doesn't really matter that I'm upsetting you all because 10% of you will be dead before long - not!
