The big surprise here is that the practices will end with the deaths of the practitioners.

Such is the nature of AIDS.

Even now America is "running short" of real homosexuals ~ (as if you could "run short" of those guys).

There's more to spreading African AIDS than this story relates. Google 'dry sex' sometimes.

And that is not even the real horror ritual...

The real horror is that men infected with the AIDS virus
believe that by having sex with a young virgin they can
rid themselves of the virus by giving it to a child...

Small children are the target of this evil and vile practice..

Of such is the nature of Africa, where life is short, nasty, and brutish..

No culture is inferior, just different.

No culture is inferior, just different.

This is politically correct drivel and BS.

There are inferior cultures who have no redeeming values. They are based on ignorance & stupidity and do nothing to expand the wellness of the human experience.

Culture is the defining difference that make great cultures great.

I would much rather be part of a superior culture that makes living worth while than live in an inferior culture that destroys the human experience.

what percantage of the population is involved in these practices? what if someone made a conclusion on american culture based on americans who have sex with animals, people who are involved in childhood porn, brothels in las vegas, television programs etc etc. I think that you should place everything into context, Do not be involved in sensationalism. Find out in Africa what percentage are involved in sex with minors, or how many people are involved in cleansing. Also find out what percentage are strict Christians and do not follow these practices.Then make an educated judgement

I didn't think the sarcasm tag was necessary. I was wrong.

"No culture is inferior, just different."

Please don't confuse race or people with their culture. There are plenty of good people being kept in inferior circumstances by their culture.

They need to be educated over there for sure. How sad that their beliefs are causing them death. They need help.

So that means you have no statistics just a gut feeling

"Mrs Mbewe fell victim to a tradition known as "kulowakufa" which dictates that any woman whose husband dies must submit to sex with one of his male relatives."

"All cultures are equal"...
Yeah, sure they are.

'dry sex'

Yeah, I read about that in a Time (cover story I believe) article a while back. They are F-ed up over there.

The article also wanted us to send them more money. Screw that. If they want to screw themselves to death, fine, just don't do it on my dollar.
