Amos.....Nice to hear from you, nearly always the voice of reason.
I agree with your sentiments regarding tolerance and compassion....nicely put sir.

In saying that, we must never blind ourselves to suffering and death in puting these two emotions into practice.....must we tolerate the obscenity of watching thousands of young men suffering a degrading and painful death because our tolerance and compassion for the people involved will not permit us to question the lifestyle which brings such pain and degradation.

Is our compassion and tolerance helping homosexuals to lead longer or more healthy lives? I think not, we simply carry on with the status quo, close our eyes and our minds to the figures and allow young men to die for our political "principles"

Several of the "walking brain dead" have suggested that it is not homosexuality but promiscuity or anal sex which makes the HIV figures so bad.

Do they not realise that in homosexual practice, promiscuity and anal sex go with the territory!...Risk taking also goes with the territory; and tho' I know only a little of psychiatry, I have read that risk taking and promiscuity are also symptoms of manic depression.

The homosexual gene will never be found, because it does not exist and if the "liberals" cant find it, they will invent it.
Why can they not see that a major medical study into homosexuality and HIV/AIDS would be in the interests of homosexuals and society at large.....is it because the results of such a study may not suit their political agenda....even if it were to save millions of lives...Ake
