Is it odd that I feel good that about 13 people died of malaria while I read that little article?

No, not really. Irony is the use of words to convey a meaning that is different than the suggested or literal meaning of them.

you try too hard, fallout ranger.

Since you have been on this page X more people have been afflicted by malaria and X died of this devastating morbidity, 90% of whom were pregnant women and young children.

If that means four fewer children will be born into a hopeless, useless life of poverty and disease in the fuckholes most African countries are, then what's the problem?

Then lets stop having the insects do the dirty work for us and just kill them all?

They're already doing that.

I think what a lot of people don't realize is that violence in Africa is so prevalent because the street price of a Chinese AK-47 is $50 US.

Africa could use a little more of that as far as I'm concerned.

Sounds good to me.

I don't see what dance dance revolution has to do with enviromentalism.

If they wanna bring back DDT, then why not leaded gasoline? I want my cheap 110 octane gas, damnit!

Because lead actually has adverse health effects.

Isn't it amazing that everything had adverse effects and still the oldies are alive. They smoke, drank, raced cars, used leaded gas and any number of dangerous activities and they still live to be 90.

They were a hardy breed. Folks nowadays practically piss themselves if you say "I'm running leaded gas!", or "Hey! Check it out! Asbestos!".

Ah. The good old days,

Heh, I have an old can opener with a piece of asbestos in it that says "Asbestos, the wonder mineral"

Ah. The good old days,

Its because people are somehow allergic to peanuts and others who don't even eat meat. I mean, why in the fuck does the human mouth have canine teeth if you are only supposed to fucking eat shrubbery.

Thats not even considering the amount of useless people who have these congenital heart defects and these cases of asthma.
Where the fuck is survival of the fittest when you need it.
