Try to think of the AIDS virus like a bacteria and some secrets might be revealed as to its innner workings. Hint..hint!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria This is my latest revelation in my bid of insanity to try and create a breakthrough in understanding this threat. Anyone have any comments/ideas or suggestions? Throwing around ideas around might be the breakthough needed in times of need even if 99.99% fail. |

In my latest bid for sanity, I will point out that certain sections in the excellent short article about bacteria do not apply to viruses - Metabolism, Growth and Reproduction and Movement.

If it is a virus, then it is not bacteria.
HIV is a virus. Therefore, HIV is not bacteria. |

Well done, KBP127! Full marks for logic.
I think rbolo is imagining that there is some benefit in cross-diipline science. However, I'm perfectly confident that bacteriologists and virologists understand the boundaries and differences (BIG differences) between their particular pet microorganisms. |

So naive of the complex and little understood relationships which exist between bacteria and virions within the human body.

rbolo28, those links are old hat. They've been read and pondered by people here as well as thousands of bacteriologists and virologists. Your suggestion that we who refuse to embrace your insanity are naive is ironic to say the least. Please, use your head for something more than just holding up your ears, rbolo.

I apologise for breaking the rules again and I have edited my post appropriately Where I come from we have no qualms about telling kooks they're kooks otherwise they just go on being kooks. We don't consider it rude, we consider it an act of kindness. I like rbolo28 and I admire his attempts to think outside the box. He's done a fine job of stepping outside the box. I just want to encourage him to work a little harder on the thinking part of thinking outside the box. Nevertheless, the forum rules take precedence over local standards.

Criticism is sometimes warranted and even good in certain circumstances. However, some of the biggest "kooks" are the ones doing the shaking and moving of the Earth by breaking the acceptable barreer limits to achieve what some call "impossible", not realistic or just ludacris.
Most ideas might not be worth the paper they are written on. However, can you honestly discount that one idea in a thousand which might be the breakthrough? The same minds and thinking will often yield the same results more often then not. Risk is part of the venture of true discovery. Sometimes big risks might be required which could possibly destroy lives, careers and all creditabilty. However, can we honestly say such risks aren't warranted with millions of lives at stake each year? I think there comes a point when you must ask yourself what you believe in the face of a partial failure of science. I don't think anyone can honestly disagree that the area of viral research is complete by no shapes, ends or means. Refinement is a great thing and required. A revolution in the way of thinking might be key where another system has partially or otherwise completely failed by the end result. No worries, I have upset the best of minds and people! |

Rbolo28, again you say nothing new to the folks posting here. Almost all that goes without saying.
I think one of the most aggravating aspects of your posts is that you think you belong to some elite club of intellects who will set the course of research on the right track if only we will listen. You clearly do not belong to any such club. Your style and content betrays you as a wannabe. Now just stand back and watch the experts skin this one. If you (and I) work really hard we might get to hold the tail for a minute or 2 but they'll do the skinning, not us. We crunch, they lead. And don't call them naive because they've pondered everything and anything you have for us, all that and more. That's why they have Ph.D. and M.Sc. after their names and you and I don't. Now don't launch into your kabuki dance on how formal education dulls the mind or whatever your nonsense on that topc is, I forget because you haven't done that amusing little dance for us for some time. Never mind your speel about how Einstein was rejected at first. That's all old hat here, old, dry, dull hat. Take it to Ms. Appleby's grade 4 science class, they might find you informative or interesting, we don't. |
