I stopped posting on this thread a couple of days ago, but just loooked back to see if anything interesting or informative had been added on the subject.
Of course nothing had, but what a disgusting spectacle to see half a dozen members resort to name calling and bullying in the short time I have been away......and you have the affrontery to call yourselves liberal? You are nothing short of a playground gang.....grow up.

While visiting a relative in hospital, i picked up an "information" leaflet produced bt the UK National Health Service, a masterpiece of the misinformation which I referred to further up the thread.

1 you can get hiv from sharing a cup.(true or false)

Leaflets like these and the simplistic message they contain, are the reason that so many people in the UK and the US are in such complete ignorance of the true dangers of aids and the demographics which carry the highest rates of infection.
To baldly state that 50% of people with hiv worldwide are women, is meaningless, when over 60% of new infections in UK/US are among male homosexuals.

Male homosexual practice and the promiscuity associated with it is more dangerous and unhealthy than incest or many other types of sexual behaviour and as such should not be promoted by legislation like same sex "marriage"
