More frightening than ISIS? We may be on the verge

Posted: Nov 19, 2015

Emerging now are new strains of drug-resistant bacteria that can transmit their resistance factors to other species of bacteria with ease, and with speed. This is serious.

;

Many reasons for this. One culprit seems to be - agribusiness which uses 80%

of all antibiotics and have developed resistant bugs in the animals. GMO foods have developed weed resistance but the bugs have too.

The biggest culprit (in my opinion) seems to be overuse by doctors and patients demand for them.

They have chemical weapons. I think that's more frightening. - The way the get their money is through

oil, kidnapping, extortion, etc.

The best way to avoid all this unnecessary fear - is to just turn off your TV set.

I see so many older retired people pulled into that fearful, hateful 24/7 cable news. The TV shows seem to just live for the next tragedy so they can talk bout it 24/7.

I have seen so many seniors with so little to think about that they fret if the mailman is 5 minutes late, or if the snow is not immediately cleared from the sidewalks. Perhaps it is not like that in the warmer climate zones. I wish there would be more activities the seniors would like to be involved in besides the tube besides the latest Trump news or racist incident. It blows everything out of proportion.

This is a political board to discuss these things, - the world is a fearful place.

Especially with the growing ISIS threat.

Better yet, turn off the fear-mongering, ratings-grabbing, 24-hour news cycle.

Concerned awareness about these issues is - perfectly appropriate...

...and should not be confused with "fear".

BEST comment all week, thank you!!

Well, as they say, ignorance is bliss. - I'm not sure whether that applies to...

[ In Reply To ..]
...deliberate ignorance. I'll keep my TV turned on. I can handle it.

I prefer to live & enjoy each day as it comes, - rather than worry about tomorrow.

The past is gone; the future hasn't happened yet; all we truly have is the present. I won't waste mine by imagining a boogeyman behind every tree.

The federal government can tell you how many "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders" stole a car, the precise number of "American Indian or Alaska Natives" who were arrested for vagrancy or how many whites were busted for counterfeiting in any given year. But the government agencies that crunch crime numbers are utterly unable -- or unwilling -- to pinpoint for the public how many illegal immigrants are arrested within U.S. borders each year. In the absence of comprehensive data, FoxNew ...

I've read a lot of bickering about this topic and yet I have yet to see someone give an answer or at least a good suggestion of what to do. We never should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein.

We got rid of Bin Laden and that hasn't stopped the craziness. We got rid of Mu ...

We all know that Obama has an almost pathological aversion to prisoners when it comes to terrorists. You don't get intel from dead bodies. Capture is ALWAYS preferable, especially when it comes to people in high positions, to killing them with drones and special raids. So, they're bragging about killing the ISIS "#2" guy. Don't brag, Obama. We've shown time and time again that these people are merely replaced. If you'd captured him, I' ...
