No. Its true that most humans suck, but I've meet a few great people in my life time that would prevent me from killing everything.

Actually, I read in this months focus (a science journal in Britain) that they when a virus spread throughout World of warcraft people purposely tried to unleash the virus in cities and highly populated areas to cause fear and panic. They believe that they same thing could happen in real life that people would just infect each other on purpose.

I wouldn't release a virus to kill people, but if I was infected, as much as I hate to say it but chances are I would infect people on purpose and you guys would probably do the same thing too.
I see that kind of behavior as akin to "griefing", especially since it was pretty much certain death for noobs but only a major annoyance for high level players if news reports did not misinform.

If you found out you had HIV, you seriously would go out and have lots of unprotected sex?

The truth is that happens, you hear all the time of people purposley passing on STIs and HIV. I think if you knew the end was coming you don't want to be the only sufferer... especially if you had been screwed over in some way by other people you wouldn't think logically anymore. It would cross a lot of peoples minds to go to your worst enemies house and cough in their face.

This thread has had more replies and lasted longer than I thought. This thread has been a sucess for me. Interesting to see how some of you are actually not averse to doing it and can actually justify yoursleves. Plenty of argument and counter argument going here. I like it.

Um ... as seen in my link? So yes, there are people who would do that, but AIDS is a special case, with a HUGE amount of time between infection and symptoms, and usually much longer until death. From what I've heard, many STDs are similar -- a very long period of functionality while infectious. Most diseases don't give you that much time to get over the shock and panic and hope for recovery and all the rest of it. You recover, or you die, and either way you stop infecting people. There would definitely be some crazy people out to spread the plague, or complete amoral assholes who just don't care, but it would be a LOT less common than griefers on the Internet, which are EVERYWHERE.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

 That was purely ridiculous, the dudes saying they got aids to don't worry about not getting aids.

Fuck, why don't they kill theirselves to stop worrying about death?
