Just a question - Is it too late to apply?
We don't need to panic about it, Brovo, but shoving your head in the sand and saying it cant happen, there can't be a mutation, there is no chance it could evenhappen is silly.

I highly doubt it will happen, but we need to be aware that diseases DO mutate.
REDACTED.

Or its a dangerous disease, ala Spanish Influenza, that kills people painfully. xP

Oh, my apologies. I thought you were referring to us. Yeah, no, those people need to "shush-y". Then again, this is some of their jobs -- to cool down any large scale hysteria. Which makes sense, I suppose, but there's always the possibility. It sucks that the people with common sense are treated as the "tinfoil hat conspirators" for thinking otherwise about how it can evolve.


Agreed. Honestly, Experts are... Seen as the be all end all, and they refuse to admit they may be wrong. Everyone is ignorant but them. Willfully ignorant, because by George, I'm an expert.

It's not that we're ignorant, Dipper, it's that the possibility is exceeding low. It has never evolved into airborne before, but it's certainly possible to do so now. Since Ebola is considered a level four "hot zone" virus, we have absolutely no idea as to how it works. Scientists have been poking at it for plenty of years and not much is still known about it, so it could certainly evolve, but again, we really have no way to determine how it will be evolve.My overall point is that this won't become like the movie "Outbreak" (which, is great, by the way, you should all go and watch it if you get the chance), which is the misconception that is being tossed from article to article.Also, there's no reason to be rude when debating. It makes people less inclined to consider your debate points, the second you insult someone ("willfully ignorant") is when people stop listening to you. Okay, sorry, just had to say something because that made me twitch -- nonetheless, it makes none of your points less valid.


I actually wasn't calling you guys willfully ignorant - I'm talking about every single person who says "THIS ISN,T AN ISSUE, ITS FINE, NO NEED TO DEPORT/QUARENTINE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE HOTZONE IN LIBERIA.

I've seen outbreak, actually, Damn good movie.

Again, as for the will fully ignorant people, I'm talking about the experts who say "Its 100℅ stable, we've only known about it for 30 years out of its long history of existence, it wont get to the US, no need to be worried, if you are worried, you are a ignorant frear mongering rube"

You guys are respectfully debating about it.
I hope it won't go airborne, but you guys have to remember that it is a possibility.

Just remember that everyone was snarking about how it can't get to the US, and now it is here.

At the another border, we have illegals being shipped to all corners of the country.

I think that, in all honesty, it isn't much of a chance it could spread, butyoy have to be aware that it is a possibility. Don't be willfully ignorant about it - Be aware of what can happen.
A lore-buff, eh?

I have something fornyoun to reqd and get your opinion on, soul.
You know Hellis, I've argued with you quite a lot over this. Each time you make a point, I counter it, and each time I make a point, you ignore it, or give false information as fact. You've done it multiple times, and in all honestly, it is fucking bullshit, and cowardly. You can't refute a god damn thing I say when I back it up with pictures of what has been done, so you ignore it entirely, and focus on a post that I apologized for shortly after making it. You say me being happy that a disgusting woman brought shit down upon her company is filled with malice, and ignore all of the things she had done because it is inconvenient to admit that maybe, just maybe, Gamasutra had it coming. You made multiple ad hominem attacks in your largest post, and it just shows how willfully ignorant you are of what is happening.

As for a counter movement - This -is- the counter movement, a backlash against bullshit people like Leigh Alexander, Stephen Totilo and others like them.

But keep regurgitating the same disproven line that GamerGate is about malice and intolerance by gamers, something that Brovo, Magic, and I routinely showed you was not the case.

Maybe it'll come true if you keep telling yourself it enough.
More trite than Depression Quest (which, as a sufferer of Depression, Ironically enough, ended up triggering me) or Gone Home, two 'games' that are little more than Choose your own adventure books?
