If the bird-flu hits hard, the US could be depopulated in a generation.

[SoCalDem]

Probably the only people who would NOT catch it, are the agoraphobics who are too scared to leave their houses(no exposure)..and the paranoids who distrust people too much to get close to any of them(no exposure there either)..

How would these two groups EVER get together to "be fruitful" and re-stock the American Human Race??

Woe is US !


:eyes: carry on!

1. If that were true

Then wouldn't China be lifting its population limiting laws on families?

I mean the bird flu is in China now isn't it? So by your logic, China is half a country. . .

2. It's the lounge

3. She's Debbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... ...........DOWNER!!

"Wha Wha Wha"

4. That'll pop the housing bubble

[WCGreen]

6. I want my McMansion.....

I Want My McMansion....

Hell I'll stay inside for a year or two if I can get a McMansion out of it.......

Ah, those stately soaring entry halls.....


A new reality game.....

Escape the Asian Flu and get a new home......

[SoCalDem]

7. Think of the GREAT ROOMS with 40 ft ceilings

Oh The HUMANITY!!!!

Quick.. Phone HGTV.. we're gonna need some makeovers:)

[WCGreen]

8. This obsession with make overs...

Is fueled byt the secret cabal behind the Calvinistic Society whose sole purpose is to make sure no american has any idle time what so ever......

They are also behind the rise in Soccer games so that every kid who walks will have something to look forward to and it also keeps the parents busy all day scheduling scheduling scheduling...........

5. Why am I suddenly envisioning

a "28 days later" scenario where people in the lounge, like, log off their computers and leave the house and realize everyone's dead?

9. People in the Lounge will NEVER leave...

They might notice the absence of the mail & daily newspapers:)

10. People in the Lounge will NEVER leave...

They might notice the absence of the mail & daily newspapers:)

11. Dunno about that

I'd notice if e-mail stopped coming, or if the NYtimes page didn't refresh one morning, but I check my PO box about once a week.

[BikeWriter]

12. I usually only check my mail box at the end of the month...

When my pension check and bills are due.

13. yup, one way or the other big ju-ju on the horizon...
