Age of consent is 14 in Brazil - they could still probably do with some guidance at that age (along with a higher age of consent).Originally Posted by Akzle

as compared to nz's really sane legislature at 15...
At any rate, irrelevant because they should be fucking for fun, not procreation at that age.

Interesting observation on Zika situation: http://drsircus.com/medicine/zika-vi...63349c-9531509

I've been following this reporter's take and it's remarkably similar... also fills in the corporate blanks.
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

Dr Circus's "research" has the distinct flavour of one who has collated and interpreted almost any related article to fit his/her particular preconceptions on a subject he/she feels very strongly agrieved about.
Don't you recognise the style?
“A causal link between Zika infection in pregnancy and microcephaly has not, and I must emphasize, has not been established.”
Well it has now. http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/america...rocephaly-link
"Finding Zika virus inside the brain — and only in the brain — of this developing fetus with severe abnormalities is a crucial step in demonstrating the role of the virus in causing the congenital birth defects. It also suggests that the virus replicates robustly in the brain, but not elsewhere, the researchers wrote."
But, y'know, if Big Pharma isn't to blame then maybe it's Big Oil...

I've no doubt it could be a nasty virus that's responsible for a great many defects. However I certainly wouldn't be ruling out pesticide use either. Perhaps they should have left the bugs alone.
You rule out cahoots.

Why?
What reason do you have for this position?
As conjecture - it seems like a variation on Hippy Logic - 'Its not Natural, therefore it's bad'

The only reason Zika virus has hit the news is because the Brazil Olympics are nearly here, there's been an outbreak in Brazil, and some white people who are rich enough to have bank accounts might catch the virus.
The virus is spread by people, not the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes are a local vector.
In regard to the GMO sterile males, they don't bite. Only females extract blood. So that angle is clearly bullshit. This process has been trialed in central Africa to reduce Malaria and Yellow fever and has been very successful on a local scale. 2 generations after the sterile males are introduced the mosquito population is 10% of what it was, however re-population post-trial from neighbouring areas ruins the effect. The process of creating targeted GMOs has recently gotten orders of magnitude cheaper so expect this practice to become more widespread. There are efforts to try and do the same to the parasite that makes mosquitoes bite humans and that is the next phase and obviously has less of an effect on the ecological niche the mosquito inhabits. There have been bullshit articles about the effect fo wiping out mosquito populations on bats, which are, as I said bullshit. Mosquitoes make up single figure percentages of a bat's food source and tend to be a food of last resoirt because there just that much meat on an individual mosquito. Law of Diminishing Returns and all that.
Microcephaly is a result of being infected with Zika virus in early pregnancy. Once brain development has largely finished, development, NOT growth, the risk of microcephaly is gone. Education is the way to address this issue, not bullshit anti-vaccine and pesticide campaigns from pseudo-scientific bullshit artists. Oh, and the fucking Catholic Church letting people in South America use condoms for both birth control and barrier control to prevent the spread of the Zika virus via semen.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Because I can.
A reason you cannot fathom.
Misrepresentation.
The Majestic Metal Wizard
Just because you can, doesn't make it a good idea or logical, I'd say a more accurate statement is for a reason that you cannot Fathom.
Misrepresentation - really is your word of the Month isn't it.

Honestly, the more you carry on, the more you sound like the bastard love spawn of bogan and husaberg.

It's funny how Logic, Rational thinking and Wisdom often sounds similar

Interesting if you want to believe what an acupuncturaist says, who also claims he can cure cancer using bicarbonate of soda maple syrup.
