Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Thank you Amos....I think you're wonderful too, but I don't concur with your idea that there is a parallel between hiv infection and cancer.

Hiv rates in homosexuals are rising steadily everywhere,
as opposed to a small but steady drop in new hiv infections in heteros.
This difference must surely be explained by the lifestyle choices made by homosexuals,(extreme promiscuity, anal sex, intentional risk taking, etc) these choices seem to go hand in hand with homosexual practice.......or the statistics are completely wrong.

The risks inherent in homosexuality are well defined, and with the will, relatively easy to avoid, whereas cancer can strike any body at any time and although we can lessen some of the risks (like smoking), cancer is not caused by any particular behaviour....therefore the parallel does not exist.

If the rise in homosexual infection rates continues, the practice should be actively discouraged with a compulsory testing and contact follow up scheme instigated.

Just as they have done in Cuba.
