The return into the United States of diseases once considered eradicated in the First World has coincided with the influx of illegal immigration from the Third World.

And when the Spanish and English landed in America-it killed the Indains.
So your point is?
I know what your point is.
It's " I hate Mexicans- so keep them out of this country because they carry diasese."
Your the one who's sick, You carry the disease of bigotry..

And when Asians came to Europe in the 1340s they brought the Black Death. What's your point? Third World diseases are appearing in the US for the first time in decades, just a fact. I didn't say a word about Mexico, you did. The Third World covers a lot more than Latin America, much of which is as advanced as western Europe. As for bigotry, I've actually been to Latin America, including Mexico. It's great. I loved the people. Have you been there? If not then don't say I'm the prejudiced one. You seem pretty bigoted yourself accusing me of weird offenses that have no reality, seeing in me some representation of what you hate: prosperity, lawfulness, order, morality. You say I try to stifle free speech but you attack everything I say. I reach out to you to make peace and you throw back more attacks and say I'm the troll. You're everything you say you hate. You're mixed up, Ronny, and truly mean.

Celibate men are more prone to prostate cancer.

Thats not a fact. WTF?
One of the stupidest things I ever heard.
Sadly that's true. Celibate men are at high risk and for some reason men who have three or more daughters without any sons. Also men who sit a lot each day are increasing the risk. On the flip side women who have children in their twenties, especially if they nurse them, have lower rates of breast cancer.

Actually, I have heard that frequent ejaculation promotes prostate health in men.
From an actual doctor.

Well, trust me, celibate guys jerk off whether they have a girl or not. I was single for 10 years. My prostrate is fine.
And I have kids and grand kids. You don't have to be married to jack off.

Mahabat Khanji, last ruling Nawab of Junagadh of the princely state of Junagadh in British India/India, was widely known for his love of animals, particularly dogs. He owned over 2000 high-pedigree dogs and spent thousand of rupees on grand birthday and 'marriage' parties for his favourites.

His love for animals extended to the regional wildlife, particularly the Asiatic lion, which was on the verge of extinction in India. The Nawab helped forestall this by preserving vast tracts of the Gir forest to provide the lions with a stable habitat.

He was also interested in animal husbandry, and his efforts in the field served to greatly improve the breeding stock of the local Kathiawaristallions and of the Gir cows.

He died, aged 59 on 17 November 1959 of Rabies.

The Anarchist's Cookbook is bogus. You don't get high off its banana peel hash recipe, and spelling out letters in cleanser and lighting them on fire on your principal's driveway yields nothing but a little smoke and does NOT burn the seven-letter message indelibly into the concrete. I'm pretty sure on page 60 that's not a viable LSD formula either. Worst $34.99 teenaged me ever spent on a present for someone.

Let me ask you a question, RC. Do you know what your goal is in picking on me? Is it to drive me off here? To change me? Punish me? To get a good feeling by vicariously lashing out against types of people you don't like because you've projected them onto me and convinced yourself I'm one? Really, fair question, do you know what motivates you to break the peace in a place where people are meant to be friends?

Hey, EVELYN my friend, has it occurred to you that you have been doing that with me for months?  It's called PROJECTION.   :smile:
