Poll Finds American Tourists Messy, Rude, and Badly Dressed

Hahaha! Well, maybe in some countries run by more directly abusive dictators. To answer your question: yes, I am absolutely comfortable labelling certain American tourists (note: not all) distasteful while using products spawned of the innovations of thei … (see comment)

Poll Finds American Tourists Messy, Rude, and Badly Dressed

... either that or the world's distaste for Americans. I'm just sayin'. (see comment)

Is it ironic that you left out both hyphens in "12-year-old"? (see comment)

Why Don't Monkeys Infected With HIV-like Viruses Get AIDS?

Scynet: I don't understand your point. In order for humans to evolve in response to HIV, the virus would have to kill people that do not carry resistance mutations before these individuals have a chance to reproduce. I'm saying that HIV typically kills … (see comment)

Why Don't Monkeys Infected With HIV-like Viruses Get AIDS?

Yes, but the fact is that AIDS kills people post reproduction (except children infected early on), meaning that there isn't likely to be any significant selection pressure. I don't deny that there are individuals who will not develop AIDS in spite of HIV … (see comment)

Why Don't Monkeys Infected With HIV-like Viruses Get AIDS?

Have you actually read up on the current thinking on polio and HIV's origins? Probably not. Incidentally, YOU were the one that suggested the virus was genetically engineered, implying that someone, with intention, designed the virus. Choose your words … (see comment)

Why Don't Monkeys Infected With HIV-like Viruses Get AIDS?

Asso: Are you suggesting that someone run a study randomly infecting people at large with SIV to see if it will mutate into an HIV-like virus? That's really the only true way of replicating the virus's theorized origin. HIV evolved, amigo. Here's an art … (see comment)

Why Don't Monkeys Infected With HIV-like Viruses Get AIDS?

Gee, golly you must be out to lunch. HIV/AIDS has been around for over 30 years (by some samples: over 50). Yeah, that means that someone genetically engineered it back in the days when the rest of the scientific community was just learning how to isolate … (see comment)

Why Don't Monkeys Infected With HIV-like Viruses Get AIDS?

Not likely. If an AIDS-like disease ever manifested in monkeys, I'd guess that it would kill them off long after they've had the chance to reproduce. That SIV ever led to an AIDS-like condition is a big assumption, but the statement holds for humans: we'l … (see comment)

Why Don't Monkeys Infected With HIV-like Viruses Get AIDS?

jentrax is just being an antagonist. Such behavior is typically linked to a complete lack of interaction with real humans and is often observed in those that live in caves. Alone. I suggest you just leave him be. He'll eventually pop up in the news after … (see comment)
