""I want to LEARN why homosexuals are 50 times more likely to get Aids than heterosexuals. Is that being dogmatic?""

Glory be to the Great Pixie!....Akenaton wants to learn.

OK, well, if you take your statistical sample from the comparatively small enclosed communities in the Western United States, you won't get the same answers as if you ask the same questions on the African continent where it originated, and where they are under the impression that HIV/AIDS is very much a heterosexual thing.

That may have some bearing on the HUGE percentage of children who are victims in Africa.

I'm assuming that you will acknowledge that homosexuals are not responsible for children born with HIV/AIDS.

Also, without wishing to shatter your closed and shuttered illusions, a visit to a local nightclub on a Friday night might give you some surprising (to you) new information about the degree of heterosexual promiscuity which exists out here in the real world.

Scotsmen aren't usually that obtuse, in my experience.
