Afghan Goat Disease
 

Looks like they're all dying of this nasty shit.

The virus is carried by livestock ticks, and humans are vulnerable when they live in close proximity with herds of sheep or goats. The virus is spread through urine, stools, blood or spit.

"The symptoms are nose-bleeds, bleeding from the rectum, even through the skin," Dr Mohammed said.

Medical technologist Dr Javed Akbar said the fact that the victims were poor and uneducated meant they had little or no appreciation of hygiene. "They don?t grasp the importance of keeping clean, of distancing themselves from their livestock," he said.

It's a great world we live in, isn't it?

I think the reason they (islam) wants to kill us is because we have better toys than we do...we should just give them the toys, and we can control it.

More fucked up reasoning brought to you by...

Oh dear, now you're giving me second thoughts about that "See Afghanistan before it disappears" junket my travel agent has been pushing. Maybe she'll toss in a biological hazard suit instead of those cheesy shoe bags I got when I went to Iraq...

"relax...the frog's a ventriloquist!"

I think it's pretty ignorant to assume that a 6th of the entire world population wants to kill you.

LOL...your travel agent is tryin' to get you to go to Afganistan!? Jeez! Nice travel agent ya got there!

I did say it was fucked up reasoning...

not ignorant, but perhaps poorly worded? how about islamic jihad?

Only 1/6th...? Whew! I was worried it was much much more!
