Shwa Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 shwa has the better?...shwa claimed small pox can not be spread by clothing/blankets...incorrect, the entire argument ends on that point...medical knowledge of of smallpox was sufficient enough that people were routinely infected in order to prevent epidemics, that same knowledge was used to begin epidemics as well... small pox less of a factor than desotos pigs, incorrect... historical records indicate a mortality of between 65-85% among native americans from small pox...the effect of having such large numbers of people die in any society will severely hamper that society to function normally... Hey, I have no argument. I was being sarcastic. Quote

charter.rights Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 It was absurd as I could make it without seeming desperate. It just goes to show that people are desperate enough to find support for their position from any where. That is why Wikipedia was created. Anyone can create information to support something that has no support anywhere else on the internet.

And here I thought Wikipedia was a crowdsourcing project meant to assemble knowledge on a scale never before realized... Quote
