it's only an epidemic as such because these FDRQ aren't quarantined like lepers,,,Because of peoples actions AIDS has taken center stage for far too long! This has HURT the people suffering from other medical problem as Thalassemia and Sickle cell. Shamefully people have waited for years to get help and nothing has changed in their help due to ALL monies and studies going to HIV/AIDS.
Its time thalassemia and sickle cell have some break through. These people have so many problems dealing with immune system issues a even growth adnormalities. The serious ones don't live pass their teens.
Too funny (and pathetic...)
Activity caused diseases don’t need a government organization. simply let volunteer groups post leaflets that say:
To avoid __________, don’t _____________.
Just fill in the blanks with the negative consequence in the first one and the activity that causes it in the second one.
Winning. Three fewer losers in the administration.
Well Bye then!
it's only an epidemic as such because these FDRQ aren't quarantined like lepers,,,And the band played on...
The most surprising thing in this article is that Newsweek is still in business.
Their advice should be: Keep it zipped up. How hard is that? For the past 30 years, this perverse sexual addiction has cost US taxpayers billions. Everyone knows how it is transmitted by now. Shut down this useless advisory council.
A friend of mine in San Francisco is close to death from AIDS. Yes, he’s gay. I told him decades ago, “If you catch the HIV virus, I’m going to kill you.” Didn’t deter him...many if not most of the people who are afflicted with this disease are sex addicts. Sex can be an addiction, and that’s where any “panel on AIDS” should begin.
I was at school in SF when the epidemic began. Young men were dropping right and left...took awhile to identify it as a sexually-transmitted disease, but when that was announced, any sane person would have STOPPED their stupid addictive behavior. But all the programs the government sponsors are directed toward accommodation.
Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” comment has been vilified all over the place, but it’s the only sane thing to say to an addict. Had this conversation yesterday with a female friend who is 150 pounds overweight. She argued, and I told her “your addiction always lies to you.” She’s smart enough to understand that she’s addicted to food.
A man I dated works as a drug-and-alcohol counselor. A very “no BS” guy who saw through client’s excuses. Virtually every time we went to a restaurant, someone came up and thanked him for getting them or their kids clean and sober, some quite effusively. Even with a 50% success rate, counseling (often mandated by employers) is worthwhile.
So I hope this AIDS panel has a clue.....and can “just say no” to accommodating unprotected sex.
Another “expert” “commission” is upset that it is faced with and admission that just because they are appointed to an “expert” position does not necessarily MAKE THEM the only “expert” counsel an administration may seek when making policy.
The idea that merely appointing folks to some “expert” body makes them the folks with the only, or even the “best” opinions on a topic is a GIANT fallacy of the regulatory state and its cousins on the many “boards”, “commissions” and “advisory councils” legislated to “advise” the executive branch. They are actually designed to CONSTRAIN the executive, like an anchor weighing it down, to hold it to the views of the “professionals” that get appointed to such boards.
A proper POTUS should dump all of them, and only have such advice that it seeks working directly in it’s White House appointed staff for the duration of its own administration.
The only individuals left in society today for whom HIV/AIDS can be acquired “innocently” are living with their heads in the sand as to how it is avoided, or their own negligence makes them not so innocent.
IIRC, homosexuals used to consider the person carrying HIV as possessing “the gift”. They took some strange and dark pleasure in taking a chance contracting the disease. How can it not be a good thing, if you think like them, not to have more gift giving?
I certainly wouldn’t wish this horrible disease on anyone, but many were wishing it upon themselves!
If queers were able to control their sexual drives, there wouldn't be an AIDS epidemic.
Lambda Legal is one of those LBGQT transgender shops sucking at the government teat.
Six resignations is a good start. Let’s see more.
Finally some good news!
Somehow I doubt that there’s any money involved in the resignation of these people. Liberals are freaking government money grubbers and they never give up the money-grubbing
Stop the behavior that causes this and spreads it. Problem solved.
Here’s the strategy: stop doing things up the $$$ that were not meant to be done up there where the sun don’t shine, stop shooting up with needles. Problem solved.
