Really, the banning of DDT just hammers home the inherent racism of moonbats. The chemical was fine for us to use to completely eradicate malaria from our own country. But then, we found out that it might cause some bird eggs to have thinner shells (regardless of whether or not it's a true correlation), so what do we do? We ban it, completely, from the entire world. Nevermind the thousands suffering with malaria in Africa. They can't be trusted to make their own decisions about their own public health, can they? Those backward tribal idiots. We have to keep salvation from them, for the bird eggs.

It bears repeating: If liberals didn't have double standards they'd have no standards at all.

Closet Cluebat IMAO.

Sick 'em Bill.

Cue response:
"In thrall to International Chemical cartels."

A fabulous post exposing (yet again) the profound double standards and hypocrisy with which the Liberal Elite robe themselves.

How many deaths has this elitist lib-turd mentality inflicted upon the planet? Don't forget to include the millions that resulted from our retreat from Vietnam and the subsequent killing fields in southeast Asia. With the Eco-Green revolution and its potential for negative effects on growing third-world economies, you'll be able to count millions more.

Ahh... any DDT truck chasers out there?? I remember the good old days on our bikes. Never did anything to us. At least I think not. LOL.

So what happened after he pulled that stunt? Did anyone remain in the room waiting to get bitten?

wonder what he would have done for a demonstration on aids...

"Other chemicals are available, but they are generally less effective, shorter-acting and - most importantly for the Third World - more expensive. And DDT is extraordinarily safe for humans. Prof Kenneth Mellanby lectured on it for more than 40 years, and during each lecture he would eat a pinch."

Linky

Oh, the mosquitoes didn't have Malaria? How about Encephalitis? Or a host of other diseases those critters carry? Did you test every one of those things to make sure that they had no diseases, Mr. Gates?
Idiot...

He makes a valid point. Many of the ills in our world are because influential people decide to do what is fashionably 'good', e.g. banning DDT, rather than what is really good, .g. preventing malaria.

Perhaps Mr. Gates is starting to come over to the light side.

In related news... Holy Crap!

"A woman from Texas has reportedly undergone nine breast enlargement operations to become the proud owner of the world's largest breast implants — size 38KKK.

American doctors had refused to carry out any more operations on Sheyla Hershey, 28, when her breasts were a staggering 34FFF, but that didn't stop her from going under the knife for the record breaking surgery.

"To me, big is beautiful. I don’t think I have anything to worry about," the Houston-resident said.

Still determined to increase her bustline, Hershey jetted off to Brazil where there are no limits on the size of implants.

The surgery required a full gallon of silicone."

Anyone who throws mosquitos at me gets a round house kick to the face.

Perhaps Mr. Gates is starting to come over to the light side.

From the Fox news article.

The philanthropist has been pushing to reduce malaria deaths through the nonprofit. In September, Gates announced that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation would provide $168.7 million to the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative to help develop a vaccine for the deadly disease.

The guy is a doofus, but he is NOT stupid. And he is the richest doofus in the world. So you can bet he consulted with his attorneys and used the cleanest lab-raised mosquitos in the world.

Might have even borrowed Dick Cheney's lab.

How apt!

Just as his half-baked software serves as the perfect vector for malware across the internet, the rainman assclown releases mosquitoes in a roomful of people at a conference on a topic that virtually assures that HIV-positive attendees are in the room.

I smell lawsuits.

for standing water around our places, there's nothing like some vegetable oil that will smother any mosquito larvae. it's harmless to the rest of the wildlife.

nancz where's the fun in that? As a conservative, I always look to cause maximum damage to nature in whatever I do or say. Or something like that.

WHO Backs Use of DDT Against Malaria

by Joanne Silberner

September 15, 2006

In the early 1960s, several developing countries had nearly wiped out malaria. After they stopped using DDT, malaria came raging back and other control methods have had only modest success.

IF one could get close enough to his house - just think of the critters they could turn loose...just me thinking out loud...again...

He could have had the same impact by showing a special DVD version of MANSQUITO - A SCI-FI Original Classic.

The horror, the horror!

I thought Gates was a global warming nut.

Isn't letting malaria kill people a great way to reduce the carbon footprint?

What, releasing Windows Vista wasn't enough!

BIRDS HAVE DIED BECUASE RICHEAL CARSON LIED the facts are that DDT wasnt harming birds as she claimed in her junk science SILENT SPRING and its too bad one of those insects didnt bite mr gates AND HIS REDICULOUS WE SEE ADS WERE STUPID AND ANNOYING

Gates is into the feel-good business, but cutting the mortality rate without reducing the birth rate is a recipe for future famines. The two rates need to be brought down together.

Bill assures the audience that his mosquitoes from Plum Island have absolutely no malaria.

"What, releasing Windows Vista wasn't enough!" Why are people so hostile when discussing Windows Vista? Have you written a better operating system recently?

George
I'd likf to respojn but I'v got

vist a and if;s fllmmppi.

The audience members should be glad that Bill & Melissa haven't adopted dysentery as their pet cause....

Nonsense! There's nothing wrong with Vista. What version do you have?

To Nancy,

All he really had to make sure of was that they were all males. In mosquitoes, its the female that bites.

Well, if anybody knows about the problems bugs can cause, it's him.

George Miller: Microsoft employee

okay - a joke for james:

do you know what mothballs smell like?

yes.

how'd you get their little legs apart?

second time today for that one!

I guess building DDT plants for Africans is to easy for these liberal freaks? In 2006 WHO had to declare DDT safe after trying for over 30 years that the crackpot Rachael Carson was right, and failed.

Ove 1 million African children under the age of 5 die yearly because of this liberal DDT hoax.

vista sucks

Not me, but someone mentioned that you are talking about it, so it was a good publicity stunt.

I'm going to look into ddt and the science around its environmental impact. I remember the lotion and the trucks down in mexico. What is this talk of a ban? How can we ban a chemical in Africa precisely?

I think there are many intermediary steps before we saturate africa with ddt, but to save human lives, I agree there is some environmental devastation that can be risked if those countries choose to do so. I think the best approach for most of you would have been some help with a link to ddt science, but then that would interrupt the laugh fest. Guess I'll go google it. Remember that scientists eating the stuff is not the only concern. We need to think of the babies in the womb and children whose development might be affected. Its only prudent science to understand that, perhaps we may never know because of the social anathema surrounding pcbs and ddt.

SAVE A BIRD KILL MISQUITOS

Bill Gates is kindof a douche, TBH.

I went to a media event where he was presenting the new (at the time) Microsoft software that allows users to "tour" the solar system, galaxy etc., he presents one of the recorded "tours" that some 7-year-old kid supposedly made and narrated, and it was the slickest copy-written, professionally-edited piece of ad copy, the world's richest man is on stage trying to pass this turd off as some spontaneous usage of the software that a seven-year old called "Billy" had supposedly made and sent in to Microsoft (before the software was even widely available to the public.)

Incidents like that one (sorry if my explanation was unclear) and the mosquito-releasing thing are just cringe-worthy. The world's richest guy can't donate to charity and work through his own charity without having to make some kind of meaningless "sensation" about malaria; can't pitch his own product without lying about its usability.. It's kindof an ultimate example of the style-over-substance culture that is prevailing now. (Although the ultimate example of that culture is of course O's election.)

Someone should have brought assault charges against him.

fine ahhht = harris

or fez

I would have turned a bunch of attack trained swallows loose TRAINED TO EAT MISQUITOS AND KILL

Would have had more drama had some of the skeeters had malaria!

My God he let loose thousands of Helen Thomas' children on the crowd? Can you imagine the poor things trapped in cobwebs whinning "Help me, help me."

He is a saddist. And stealing Helen Thomas' children.

Because the systematic slaughter of children is just.so.funny. huh Bill?

Consider it post-birth "choice". Part of an international stimulus plan.

What is this talk of a ban? How can we ban a chemical in Africa precisely?

fine ahht

By refusing to sell it to the nation and threatening sanctions against the nation if it buys or uses the chemical. Do you really not know this stuff?
