Why should I have to be tortuously injected with a strain of a disease I can only get from direct contact with cows that is designed to protect me from a different disease that is extinct
Nobody gets vaccinated for it nowadays.
Except like US military being deployed to Afghanistan or Korea, I guess someone's done a risk-analysis of the potentiality of US military being given smallpox and they'd rather not have the entire invasion force annihilated by one disease in that case.
Well it just so happens...

Combining: Even my undershirts show my rude smallpox-infected titties. Suck on that patriarchy.
I know that's generally enough for people here to write him off, but I'm curious if there are actually more things or not.
he is literally incapable of presenting a view in a way that isn't douchey
even when they are agreeable views
but that doesn't mean "almost all of bill maher's beliefs are misguided"
it just means he has one really misguided view, and is a douche about the others
i am not disagreeing here, i just want you to either present other stupid things he believes, or tone down the hyperbole
There are lots of things I disagree with bill maher on (death penalty, racial profiling, the vaccine thing, privatization of social security [don't have time to get into a long talk on any of those things though sorry]). also he is kind of a dick in his presentation of everything.

Yeah, I know you're in Afghanistan. Still, it's a pretty sensible strategic decision:
The last cases of smallpox in the world occurred in an outbreak of two cases (one of which was fatal) in Birmingham, UK in 1978. A medical photographer, Janet Parker, contracted the disease at the University of Birmingham Medical School and died on September 11 1978,[65] after which the scientist responsible for smallpox research at the university, Professor Henry Bedson, committed suicide.[2] In light of this accident, all known stocks of smallpox were destroyed or transferred to one of two WHO reference laboratories which had BSL-4 facilities; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology VECTOR in Koltsovo, Russia.
I've previously read up about BSL-4 facilities, they are fucking rad.

man I'm in OCD productivity mode today
like seriously my next week is planned out by the hour.

see, i didn't know this stuff because i wrote him off after the vaccine thing
this is what i wanted to hear, not "almost all his beliefs are misguided" --> "he opposes vaccines and is a dick"
Actually most of the population would die horribly since smallpox vaccines are pretty rare nowadays and they are only effective for about ten years
But that will never happen because smallpox is extinct
It's gone
There is no more smallpox
Edit: Are you sure it wasn't cowpox? Cowpox is what is used to inoculate people against smallpox but I thought (And I may be wrong) that the only remaining samples of smallpox were being held by the CDC. Anyways though what I meant was that it no longer lives in nature.
it was a CDC affiliated virology lab
"being held by the CDC" means that someone under the CDC banner has it. it doesn't necessarily mean "in atlanta"
unless i was lied to
I think some French centre, and some Russian centre have samples as well.
Also possibly North Korea cause we have no fucking idea what they're up to.
I don't think the DPRK government is competent enough to handle a smallpox sample without obliterating a city at a bare minimum.

I just read that, and now I am certain I was lied to.
I am going to mock my friend in a virology lab....or get the lab shut down
i thought they were BSL4
they are not apparently
which means there wouldnt be smallpox unless someone was breaking lots of rules
When I first heard the term "post-gay" in my 20's and had it described to me, I found it offensive. Now I'm heading towards my mid-30's and it makes soooo much more sense.
It's part of growing up, and unfortunately, part of not being grown up is feeling outrage whenever someone points out to you that you are, in fact, not grown up.
wow that was condescending
I kind of agree with both of you, but I think it's different points.
Like, using extreme language to describe the opposing side - death before dishonor and all that - is a good way to get fucking nowhere because it's just political ignorance.
Conversely: It's taken me a while to realize that I fucking hate the people who value virginity, and it's a direct insult to me and anyone I'm associated with.
Eh, my only real point was that the vast majority of people don't stay crusaders forever and part of growing up is that at some point you have to decide to what degree you're going to buy in to society. And for some people admittedly the answer is "not at all". But those people are hardly the norm.

Older crusaders are also so obnoxious, like most topics become about their favorite pet topic and then it just turns into a lecture on whatever.
Preacher on
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Dude, just go get yourself a varicella-zoster vaccine. Problem solved, you are now immune.
Most people are vaccinated nowadays anyway..
I think I need a lot of vaccines I probably don't have. After I reached adult hood I kind of let my going to the doctor maintenance stop. Haven't been in like 10 years.

Yeah I know, I'm just worried they'll find some incurable disease and tell me I have a couple years to live. Basically I worry they are a creepy gypsy lady.

I am sooooo post-gay. I was gay back before it was cool, when you had to get a mouth full of trucker penis at a Jersey rest stop, but now with these kids it's just so commercial. What a bunch of posers.
post-gay is my new favorite word. I'm going to a bourbon lounge with two of my gay friends this weekend. How can I make a joke using "post gay" in the most awkwardest way possible?

Going to the doctor with no symptoms and just for a "wellness check-up" pretty much has a 100% chance with you ending up having a finger up your bum.

It would, but pretty much everyone is immune to it.
first one then the other
about 90% of viral diseases would make a "nasty" viral weapon
I'll give that a shot, this shirt might be too snug for an undershirt. But then again I do have a couple really tight undershirts.
and then two factions at the same time, man
Well it just so happens...
GLOBES OF DEATH.
I'm not, I didn't have chicken pox as a child, its something I have to be careful of as an adult.

It's a replication of a historical design, it's quite possible that KH lifted from the same source.

Who's to say they haven't?
We have no clue!
