Now I've seen everything. I am speechless.
What I'd like to know is what did Oh Young-jin, assistant managing editor, and the Korea Times do to get the truth to the Korean people about the falsehoods being spread in Korea about American beef?
Or, more to the point, that there is, was, and never has been an outbreak of mad cow disease in the United States?

And what I would like to know is where you are getting this info from.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11809760/
According to this article there have been at least three since 2006.
Looks like the KH is nearer the mark than you.
In future please FACT CHECK your statements. This serves a valuable purpose as it makes you look informed plus it leads others to give your statements credibility.
Thank you. |
I think you are confusing the terms "case" and "outbreak"
Might not seem like a big deal, but it is.
Maybe you should understand the terms you are using before being so critical of others.  |
Okay just for you, I'll rephrase it. You should feel special now

That's better.
Honestly, 3 cases does not an outbreak make. |

On the other hand both these sites refer to an outbreak of mad cow disease in the U.S.
www.hsus.org/farm/resources/animals/cattle/faq_mad_cow_disease.html
http://www.pitt.edu/~super1/lecture/lec13041/002.htm
And here's an opinion piece with some links
http://www.yuricareport.com/Health_Issues/RoundupOnMadCowDisease.html
If the KH was getting its information from sites such as these, then maybe the poster I was replying to should be looking elsewhere.
Oh and will you be e-mailing these sites informing them that they are using "outbreak" incorrectly?  |
