Lucky...

There are only three situations where a person is truly a victim of aids. Children who are born to someone who has the disease,Someone who has received a bad blood transfusion, and someone who is the victim of rape. There is a simple prevention. It's called" keep it in your pants." I also believe that alot of people want a cure for all the wrong reasons. The desire to continue a lifestyle of bad behavior is not a legitimate reason to prevent a disease. If someone says "Don't touch it, it's hot." Why should anyone feel sorry for you because of your foolishness? How about nurses who have needle stick mishaps? They should die too, they are culpable. Actually, all but the three above are a bunch of dirty fags, right? Any risky behavior, and let's face it, EVERYTHING is risky anymore, carries a degree of risk. If we abstain, we live in small worlds afraid of life. Huh? Come again? SO the very 3 innocent groups you listed are going to die so the very fags, as you would call them, can die too. Let me go out on a limb here..... you are pro capital punishment, even tho we kill an innocent man on occassion..... it's just collateral damage, right Timothy (McVeigh)? AIDS or not, people are going to kill, have sex, and engage in risky behavior, like skydiving..... even if they know it might kill them. That's it, innocent people are killed by the skydiving business, a business and hobby/sport people voluntarily engage in, so maybe it would be the right thing to do to outlaw it. If someone says, "Don't jump, it might kill you, should anyone feel sorry for those who die?

I need to work on my SARCASM. HIV / AIDS is such a funny topic standalone, I don't see why it's diificult to in interject comedy or satire. Your compassion nausiates me. Rookie, as in rookie cop? Just a guess.

Did I say that? What has people talking about it for 20 years accomplished? Thats what I'm saying. You have to talk about it to garner funding for relief now and a cue later. Just as Viet Nam vets wete villified then, they were honored later. It's the mondset of quaushing ignorance about issues. So the average guy with AIDS is a dirty faggot, but Majic Johnson is a victim of that faggot's disease, right? Furthermore, how about baby's born with AIDS? Should we punish the supposed dirty fags by not spending money on their disease, then turn our heads when chidlren are born with it? It's our disease no matter what the origin or messenger. Also, it is a manageable disease, just look at Majic Johnson. But it is expensive and we've decided these primarily gay men aren't worth it; what a predjudiced society.....

Because speaking out about it would stopped it dead in it's tracks. 20 years later still no cure and I bet it's because of Reagan. Collectively the fault of the right for: A) Ignoring it B) Demonizing it to dissuade funds

What could possibly be political about a war that was initiated on false premise? Fuckin lefties, Jesus Christ. Ah..the first 26%er checks in. Perhaps you missed the remark,or is it that you just ran from it? What could possibly be political about a war that was initiated on false premise? Fuckin lefties, Jesus Christ.

Big man to admit error..... remember, McCain wants more troops.... And McCain is wrong imho! Let the full blown cival war start now in Iraq. The quicker it starts the quicker it is resolved. Why have our military sit in the middle of it. We are policing the place. Training Iraqi's, who the majority are in it for the pay. It can only get more fucked up at this point! It's called cut the losses now. Or it can be looked at that we already won. what the f ever! It's over and it will not get better. What a mess! Totally agree

Join the majority..... 76%

WOW for once we agree....we hold ourselves to higher standards......ALL of us need to meet those standards so the world sees us as the better alternative. The difference is that you would hang the troops, others would slap hands and require an apology.

That could be said of virtually every serial murderer or even a garden variety murder in America.... poor rationalization. Does there have to be a Halocaust in order to be routine? Now I understand, the misdeeds of the radicals over there justify our misdeeds.... sweet So anyone who dissents is an antiAmerican pig? Brilliant. And teh military feeds its hatred hpw? Oh, that's the topic of this thread...... kinda ironic

Fixed it for ya

Really? What if a military person was gay, but only off base? IS that regulated? Behavior on and off base by active (maybe reserves too) military members can be and is regulatedby teh stroke of a pen. It varies from base to base by the commander, but NEVER say that a military person has rights to do what he/she wants off base.

If he lives off-base, the Army has no jurisdiction over what legal items are inside his house. If he's in base housing, then he has to abide by whatever base rules are in effect, which could vary from one Commanding General to the next, during my time in the service. In that case, call the MP's and ask. Famous last words..... :) When I was in they would tell us what off-base businesses we could visit or not. You forfeit Constitutional rights when you sign.

Yeah, I know, that's why the EU constitution was so widely embraced, voted down, and now pretty much DOA. The chances of the EU becoming a viable political union are next to nothing. France and Germany would want to run it, the UK, and eastern Europe know better and would not allow it. The Euro is nice, but I think it's silly to ask a nation, that has existed for hundreds of years, to start to "give up" its very sovereignty and by consequence, culture, and identity. "Where were you born?" ... "I was born in the Province of Austria." (??!!) I just don't see it over there. Here in the US, or even Canada, that type of idea isn't so hard to fathom -- states, provinces that have willingly offered political power forming a federal republic. They don't have to be nationally united, just fiscally united; wasn't that the point here?

I think it's symbolic for teh most part, but fluctuating currency makes the value of a barrel of oil kind of difficult. A standard is important for everything. The Spruce goose: Spruce is a standard for aircraft wood. I think we can all find standards for most everything, even if it isn;t the best, it's a way to understand and place into perspect other like things. You don;t want this standard waivering, you want it to be stable and the US dollar isn't. Furthermore, the US isn;t exactly the most favorite place for the rets of the world right now. That translation is now variable.

Each party has its stereotypical behavior. The left loves the ladies, the right loves money. There are deviations, but this behavior is expected from their respective parties.

Constitution? WHat does that matter? Legal schoolars would argue the value of ours anyway. Cohesion? There is so much divide here, please. And what BV wrote.

I like German Chocolate cake rather than plain white cake.

Most people after 9/11 agreed with Iraq. The Representatives voted to use force. NOW people are against the war, and the house/senate claims they didn't vote for the war. You bat 1000% when you can look back. Uh, Bush gathered all intelligence and cherry-picked what he would show to COngress, who then agreed to go to war. Furthermore, just because they decide to go to war, can they ever decide at this juncture that war is no longer the best option? So a vote for war is a vote forever? This modern-day Viet Nam can and should end, just as the actual VN ended..... do we need to wait 12 years and 58k fatalities?

Talk about a deal breaker! It can be hard enough to arrange sex, let alone the break in continuity this would have!!! KInda ruins the moment I say if ya wanna take a chance, ya do so at ur own risk using your own discretion.

Identifying the people who are HIV positive so they know they have an infectious disease seems like a pretty good step to me. Your post makes it sound (to me) like you think that's not a worthwhile goal. Is that really what you were saying? I'd also like the privacy of the afflicted to be protected. Let them make the decisions on who to tell. We have no right to make those decisions for them. Blues, Dave What LAw is saying is that a gov database will do nothign but allow the gov to further harras and classify sick individuals, rather than to stop the spread. The database would work well for prosecution, but not prevention.

That culture can't be all bad 300 million. World has approx 6.3 Billion with China hogging 1.4B, India 1.2B or so. I did, annonymously, but I would hate to see it compulsory with teh gov classifying people if they were infected, especially since we have virtually no medical coverage for poor folk over here.

Getting tested is responsoble, having compulsory, non-annonymous testing is intrusive.
