Steve Shaw: "The truth is that any "risky activity" can be made far less risky given education..."

and this one is hilarious!:
"So what? Are you saying that promiscuity is immoral or something? If so, where's you line in the sand?"

So, it's the educating, you say....ya' think that is going to stop a hard dick, and emotional immaturity, from implementing discipline?
You blame everyone EXCEPT the participants..how stupid is that??

Now one place that you are SORTA correct..but off by a mile..you seem to indicate that government(funded) education of homosexuals, who are promiscuous is the blame....BUT, the HIV virus was conceived of, and implemented BY the government. It was developed at Fort Kendrick, as part of a chemical/biological warfare project, and unleashed in Africa, and the homosexual communities. Maybe you didn't know that...but then is it a waste of time to educate you?..What makes you think anyone else will care, or take corrective measures..because in this matter, you ain't going to 'educate' some people away from the emotional and physical addiction to sex. this bullshit about it 'not being about sex' is a crock of bull-crap.
I felt that your posts, especially your earlier one, was just YOUR rationalizations to write it all off.

Akenaton is quite correct, in citing the homosexual community and promiscuity in that group, for being the lead in all this...but remember, they were targeted!!...and now the cat has gotten out of the bag.
The development of this was late '70's, and taken into Africa about 1980...and as an aside, the scientists who worked on it, (and you can get the list), seemed to all have met untimely deaths...'accidents', suicides, 'illnesses'....and if you don't believe me, Google it up for yourselves...if they haven't closed the sites down yet!

The first time I had ever heard of this HIV/AIDS was at UCLA Hospital, and some guy came in for a check-up, because he felt like shit, no energy, sick etc.,etc......and the TEAM who examined him had just received health bulletins..there was NOT much info on it..and they came out in environmental suits to examine him. Nobody had ever seen or heard of anything like this before..and that was in 1982..I was there..I SAW it!

just for what it's worth.....
...and BTW, Akenaton is indeed correct with his posts of the amount, disproportionate to the rest of society...but remember...THEY WERE TARGETED..as the Africans. In Africa, they put the virus in with the vaccinations, and distributed by WHO..World Health(?) Organization.
This is verifiable..go look.

Now the government wants to 'come to the rescue'...or so it appears...but it won't be the first time they've bullshitted a willing to be entertained audience!
