Wow...
You guys are so ignorant.
I was in the the tech industry for several years, and saw the inside scoop.
Don't believe me and stay ignorant. You guys' MO anyway.
Is your first commandment "Thou shalt not have an open mind?"
coincidence <> causality.
Fixing giga-reams of bad COBOL code had nothing to do with entering and exploiting a brand new consumer marketplace, the internet. That bubble was happening whether the millenium was turning or not. It had nothing to do with Y2K, and everything to do with cheap money, just like every other bubble.

Inside scoop on Y2K you say? O rly?

Significant wreckage downstream from Y2K?
That's a new one on me, but I'll bite. Does anything besides anecdote support this?
No, the Y2K was an unjustified scare. I'm saying I saw the dramatic increase in tech production that the scare produced. More production becomes more jobs and profits. Tech stocks took a serious rise from the mid 90's to just past 2000, then took a dramatic drop, followed by corporate losses and lay offs.
Oh now I see...oh wait...Nope, still can't figure out wtf you're talking about.
WC thinks Y2K caused the stock market boom, not the Internet explosion.
That can't be right. Can it?
They happened at the same time, and tech stocks took really big ups and downs. Since the scare hit all industries, there was money moving around faster than normal helping the boom. It wasn;'t the sole cause.
Why do so many people think in simplistic "this or that" terms?
WC, how do you know that Y2K was an unjustified scare? Maybe teh-savvy experts fixed all the problems in the nick of time? Why can't you keep an open mind on that idea?
Wow, okay well that's a theory I guess.

How to win the vaccine argument every single time
All you need to do is ask three simple questions:
1) Are vaccines safe?
Your "friends" will insist they are... and maybe even repeat the claim that the autism link has been discredited.
It hasn't. But you know what? You can disarm them by conceding that point... because you don't need it to win.
Instead, point to Gardasil, the dangerous HPV vaccine linked to dozens of deaths and thousands of adverse events. Point to the swine flu shots that caused people to pass out, get sick and drop dead.
And then go for the jugular with a recent headline, because you'll always find something like this: Japan reports sixth infant death after vaccination?.
That's from just a couple of weeks ago, before the disaster there. Does that sound safe to you?
2) Do vaccines save lives?
The needle-pushers will look at you like you're crazy and say, "Of course they do."
Just ask for proof -- because there isn't any.
But you can prove they DON'T save lives, because the research on flu shots is crystal clear: In years when there are shortages, or when the vaccines don't match the dominant strain, there's no surge in flu deaths as would be the case if the vaccine was "saving" everyone the rest of the time.
In fact, there's almost no change in the death rate at all. (Click here for more ammo -- a recent study you can cite.)
3) Are vaccines even necessary?
Your nemeses will no doubt start repeating some sob story they found on the Internet about someone who died of an obscure disease... but forget the anecdotal tales and just look at the numbers: All the major diseases supposedly eradicated by vaccines were on the decline BEFORE those injections came on the scene.
And when these diseases hit today, they're often nothing to worry about: The last big measles outbreak, for example, had a death rate of about a quarter of a percent.
Your debate partners may start frothing at the mouth at this point. Don't get too close. Ignorance is contagious -- and there's no vaccine for that.
I'm not done with vaccines... keep reading for the latest on HPV.
Oral sex fears used to push vaccines
Oral sex will kill you... unless you get an HPV shot!
Don't panic because it ain't true... just the latest fear-mongering being used to sell HPV vaccines.
A new study finds that up to 50 percent of men are infected with HPV, the virus responsible for some head and neck cancers -- and it can be spread through oral sex.
What they won't tell you, of course, is that the virus is almost always harmless and almost always tossed right out of the body.
Nope... instead, Big Pharma, the feds and the media are all using this study to push HPV vaccines. Once given only to girls supposedly to prevent cervical cancer, now they want boys to get it to prevent head and neck cancers.
But you heard it here first: Those cancers are already declining across the board. Any further decline is just a continuation of this trend... but you can bet that in a couple of years, they'll claim it's because of the vaccine.
Here's another fact you won't read anywhere else: Head and neck cancer patients with the HPV virus are actually five times MORE likely to survive the diseases than those who don't have the virus, according to the National Cancer Ins ute.
On the one hand, that could simply mean that the forms of the disease caused by HPV aren't deadly.
But, on the other hand, what if HPV is actually somehow protecting those cancer patients... and now we're vaccinating people so they don't get it?
Crazy? Until it's studied, you can't rule it out.
And that means an HPV vaccine will at best protect you from a cancer that won't kill you... and, at worst, turn a non-deadly disease into a battle for your life.
Sounds like a lose-lose to me, especially when you consider the other risks of these vaccines.
One of them, Gardasil, has been linked to dozens of deaths and counting... not to mention thousands of reports of side effects in the girls who've gotten it so far. (Read more here.)
And now they want to give it to boys, too?

There's plenty of other info, including from the CDC's own data, that show, eg, flu vaccines, are a huge BigPharma scam.
