I'm being a tad melodramatic, but nonetheless synthetic bacteria is in the gulf in large quantities now. It'll be years before we fully understand the ramifications of the decision by BP to take bioremediation into the synthetic era.
True, even if you hated the guy, you'd have to give j49 props for being the most forthcoming person in the world.
However, there are two moral questions I think that are justified.
1. He's apparently getting the girl high BEFORE banging. I'm fully on board with the "what two adults want to exchange money for is not my business" argument, but if the person can't stand doing it unless she's numb to the world, that's pretty questionable.
2. If his wife doesn't know that he's seeing whores on the regular, he's harming her.
Not that I personally give a shit about an internet dude's ethical behavior, but to say there is no reason to be outraged is a bit silly

I would say if she hasn't caught on to his street corner hooker lifestyle after being given an STD, it's on her at this point. Still, a complete dick move by him, but she's making a conscious decision to remain ignorant at this point.

Riki Ott: Bio-Remediation or Bio-Hazard? Dispersants, Bacteria and Illness in the Gulf
I know there are better sources out there, and I found a bookmark that included all the information regarding synthetic bacteria used on the MC252 wells from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management website, but the BOEMRE site appears to be down:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement HomePage
Synthetic Genomics is the company hired by BP to develop the bacteria.

I swear to christ a year ago more info was on the web in abundance, including a few articles discussing the fact it was attaching to bacteria we had developed immunity to(or able to treat with antibiotics) and reprogramming them with artificial DNA making it so we were having issues fighting them. I'm not done digging yet, though. Hopefully I can find more.

The HuffPo article makes no mention of a synthetic bacteria, just a naturally occurring bacteria that can metabolize crude oil and it's byproducts.
Seems to me that the obvious and most likely culprit for the spate of rashes in the Gulf is the dispersal agents and the crude oil itself, not some sci-fi fantasy of synthetic, laboratory made bacteria that are evolving to attack human beings.

People still eating gulf coast seafood e'ryday here in la and if people are getting sick from it the media is doing a good job of covering it up. Maybe all the garlic we tend to use counter acts the synthetic bacteria.

Even if you do introduce synthetic bacteria into an ecosystem I doubt it stays synthetic for very long. That mess would have to adapt to the specific conditions pretty quickly, and what you're pulling out of the water 2 years after putting it in would be quantifiably distinct from what you've got on ice back in the mad scientist castle.
At least is my theory. I honestly would be fascinated to read a study of it what actually happens, even if it's scary sci-fi man eater stuff.

Breakers is still there, it's decent but I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. New Smyrna was so nice in the 90s and early 2k, but the "recession" or whatever you want to call it hit that place like a fucking mack truck. Daytona Beach is shit, New Smyrna is shit. My entire life my family owned a house in Edgewater, we'd go every summer/fall and I lived down there for a little while after I graduated from high school. I'd never go back though after the way it is now, had a couple cop friends that were from the same town in Syracuse as me that worked in Daytona Beach and just too many horror stories from them and seeing too many knives/guns while playing basketball. Just not worth it. Jacksonville leaked out and ruined Daytona basically. You can do some decent "urban exploring" down there though. I'm pretty sure the Hilton's closed/abandoned.
Also the seafood's fine. Used to catch shrimp/fish all the time and eat it and still alive.

FYI, BOEMRE is now called BSEEE. They changed their name at least 3 times in the past 4 years. They probably do that so you can't find the old information. Also, that bacteria has been around since the 70's at least. They used them on some Texas beaches when that mexican oil rig went boom. They worked great and brought everything back to normal (better than normal in some instances) in less than a year. So naturally environmentalists hated them.
Back on topic since this is the hooker thread. If you give your wife a bucket of quarters to do her, does that count as prostitution?

how about every week when i hand her my pay check....
if you give her the money in a direct agreement for sex...i would say yes

J49, how would you react if you found out your wife was getting rolled every day while you're out picking up these bottom feeders?
