BEIJING, April 16 (Xinhuanet) -- Filming in California's multi-billion-dollar porn industry has been frozen after a popular actor tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS.

Porn actor Darren James tested positive for HIV this week in screening conducted routinely on the industry's 1,200 regular actors.

Industry advocates immediately called for a 60-day moratorium on filming so that others could be tested.

The Los Angeles-based industry normally completes three to four adult films a day.

It must now wait to see if the deadly virus has spread to 14 actresses who had onscreen sex with James, or to the 35 sex partners the women subsequently had.

Do you say the same thing when people get SARS or smallpox or ebola or malaria or any number of other diseases caused by microorganisms?

Those diseases are not typically spread by misbehavior.

[AmishDude]

Porn films now add an additional element of reality.

Oh, no. I think we have a new idea for a reality show on Fox!

[familyofman]

Are they looking for replacement workers?

"Some extremists full of hate use Christianity to justify their evil/hate filled ideolody. This resembels fanatical Islamists. The only difference is Islam in and of itself does not need much extrapolation to justify hate. REAL Christianity, however, is very far from these people who justify hate, killing,.... Jesus was meek, forgiving, loving of his ENEMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Jesus was meek, forgiving, loving of his ENEMIES!!!!!!!!!"

Yes meek little Jesus said Matthew 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 And say, 'If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell???????

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

25 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Able unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the Temple and the altar.

36. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.


Oh how Jesus loved his enemies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.

When will people learn? You reap what you sow.

Praise the Lord! His work is a wonder to behold!!!


As a Christian, I find your post to be offensive, as to give others the wrong impression to what we're about.


The Bible clearly states we're not to find joy and rejoice in the misery of others


Like most Christians, I wasn't always one, and I made a lot of bad choices, which could have caused me a lot of problems, but not like this.


Clearly one of things I thought was that if I gave up my sinful ways, I gave up fun. However the boundaries are set up to protect us...."The wages of sin are death"


If you consider yourself to be a Christian you should pray for these people...not gloat in their misery...


Christ died on the cross so that every man could have eternal life, He has already paid the debt for these people....if they should accept Him.

From the words of our Saviour [NIV, Matthew 5:43]:

43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[8] and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies[9] and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

A man contracts a deadly disease and we should celebrate and believe it is God's anger? Personally, I do feel sorry for this man, even though his decisions in life lead him this way. Does God stop loving someone like this? Or has someone like this turned from God's love? Does God want us not to love someone like this?

[biblewonk]

It's all about religion, Evolution, Christianity, Humanism, Islam, Wicca.

YOU DO NOT GET IT. It is common knowledge how this deadly disease, got special status, just like our Supreme Court gave "sodomy" a civil right.

It is also common knowledge that "IF" you live and profit off of certain acts you will GET that deadly disease. Now this nation has elevated "SEX" as a method of promoting sales of anything and everything, alll the while ignoring the deadly consequences.

NOW if you had read what was WRITTEN you would find that the results of what consequences of the abomination of living the lifestyle has brought these that debase themselves.

Obviously you do not take what our Heavenly Father said would be the result and you ignore the degradation of a whole society.

But do you shed tears over someone blowing their head off in a game of Russian Roulette? Why wouldn't these people have heard by now that unprotected promiscuous sex is very risky behavior? Why wouldn't they insist on safety?

[philosofy123]

OK, now we have some different type of Christians, who are going to pick and chose verses from the bible to justify their hate and evil spirit - can you say jihad a la Jesus! You are either meek/forgiving/ and loving of your enemies; or you are not Christian! To argue whether Jesus was forgiving and loving of his enemies is to deny Jesus’ only unique feature. If you love your friends what good are you, even bad people do so; you need to love your enemy, or don’t call yourself a Christian.

Anyway, you just keep listening to these pimps on evangelical TV, and you will be "SAVED"!

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Praise the Lord! His work is a wonder to behold!!!

That's pretty cold.

[biblewonk]

Actually Wicca would be my second favorite religion. Before I got saved I was an evolutionist.

[Notwithstanding]

For goddness sake!

When a building filled with innocent people is spared from a terrorist explosion because the terrorist's bomb explodes prematurely killing him instead, we correctly rejoice because evil has been prevented!

No difference here.

The contraction of AIDS by purposefully promiscuous pornographers is preventing pornographers from working for several months - we correctly rejoice because evil has been prevented. ALL good things come from God. Prevention of evil is a GOOD THING. Praise God!

I have not seen one post on this thread who is happy because someone is suffering/ will suffer.

[biblewonk]

God even mentions the horrible diseases that the pagan nations that surrounded Israel had and told Israel they wouldn't get them. He mentions the penalty that sodomites get in them in Romans which makes me think of deseases or maybe possession. I rejoice at seeing His word to be true.

is preventing pornographers from working

And that's not really happening --- they could actually get real jobs and do real work --- or nothing stops them from getting together with other HIV positive pornographers and making their movies with each other. They're just whiners ---- but should take their Darwin awards and shut their mouths.

I have not seen one post on this thread who is happy because someone is suffering/ will suffer.

Maybe suffering will bring them their salvation. Maybe they'll find God and peace.
