One of the first things the piece of shite we call Prime Minister here in Aus announced after he got elected was he wanted to scrap some of our anti-discrimination laws. The attorney general came out and told everyone that they have a right to be bigots in Australia. Little wonder all the fvcking bigots have been coming out of the woodwork. This government wouldn't have got elected without the support of the racist, nationalist, xenophobic, dumb**** scum that infests this shithole country.

Bit of the white stuff up on Asahidake

If they are zombie sharks heralding the arrival of the next ice age then that would be dead cool.

I think it's infected with Ebola.

My dream retirement life is more along the lines of this for really getting off-road

NHD is Dubai.

We're on a direct flight from Melbourne to Narita in Jan. Haven't checked what plane it is though. Hoping it's a 787. Like DiGriz we'll be in business class.

The coming zombie apocalypse is as inevitable as the coming ice age.

And pie keeps insisting that Ebola has nothing to do with the coming zombie apocalypse!!

Ok Shaun of the Dead is up next.

There's a 'The Walking Dead' marathon on at the moment. I'm learning heaps!

You know it's coming. Are you ready?

This should be some good viewing http://youtu.be/nj_OmY5tZ2Q

Or maybe this

I might have to read this

I want this pilot on my next flight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzfD0aAzOis

Because so many believe it to be the start of the zombie apocalypse?

Well currently around 4 times as many people die in car accidents each and every day just in South Africa alone than are dying from Ebola on the entire continent. Got quite a ways to go before it's a big problem I'd think.

Almost more people in Africa die from Hippo attacks each year than this Ebola outbreak...

This outbreak has killed more than all previous outbreaks combined but it's still only a few thousand people in around 6 months. More people die in Africa every day from AIDS. In the same amount of time that this Ebola outbreak has been going there will have been over quarter of a million people in Africa die from Malaria. I only mention these sorts of figures to keep some perspective on how few people are dying from Ebola compared o other diseases on that continent. Ebola really is one of their lesser concerns I'd think. I guess the real worry is that the more contact this virus has with huma

It's never going to spread much in the west though as it doesn't spread easily. It only spreads in places like Africa because of the ignorance and superstitions of the people coupled with the lack of decent medical facilities. One thing for sure though is if we did start getting regular cases in the West they'd probably find a vaccine/cure pretty damned quick.

Point is the amount of coverage of Ebola is staggering considering how very few people are killed by it compared to the other diseases running rampant throughout the African continent. I just don't get it.

Still amazes me how much press this all gets. Well over half a million people die each and every year in Africa from malaria alone. Supposedly it's up around one child dying every minute from Malaria in Africa. More people die each and every single day from AIDS in Africa than the total number that have died from Ebola so far in this current outbreak. This Ebola outbreak will barely represent even a minute blip on the huge death rates that already occur on that continent. And yet the media in the West seem insanely fascinated by Ebola.
