Good bye, California hospital system, required by unfunded federal EMTALA mandates to treat Mr. Fox's citizenry for free.

I understand that a lot of odd stuff goes on in some migrant camps and neighborhoods. The concepts of "pitching" and "catching" are viewed quite differently than anglo-saxon American mores.

Is this really true?
I'd always thought Mexican
culture was "macho"

culture, where this stuff
was more taboo than for us.
(My first reaction

to this headline was
to wonder if HIV
might be influenced

by bad nutrition
the way some tin foil types say.
The third world's hit hard.)

They're just contracting diseases that Americans don't want to contract.

Yeah, I hope those 'inexpensive' vegetables taste real good tonight at dinner.

I would imagine if you went into Mexico the jails are empty and the hospitals are empty because they drop those people off at the border and tell them good luck in the US.

The "macho" culture allows for some types of "acceptable" homosexual activity. For instance, to play the part of the man, though looked down upon, is not as bad as the other role. It is thus socially justified in a way.

LMAO! At least it's some form of photo i.d.!

I suggest that a one time tax on all of hollywoods elite, like Stiesand, Woopie, Micheal Moore, etc. tax 50% of their finacial holdings to pay for their medical bills.
It is after all, the compasionate liberal thing to do, so they shouldn't object. Micheal moore doesn't need $100 million to live on does he? share the wealth! Tax those rich! Tax Terazah Hienz! Tax George Soros!

They come from a different culture who don't beleve in something as simple as such washing their hands. They spread sickness on cruise ships, and throughout resturants.

I ended up in the emergency room a few years back, after having eaten in a restaurant where "migrant workers" worked in the kitchen. It was lots of fun!

" (My first reaction

Peter Deusberg is a tinfoil hatter??? News to me.

There is actually 0 empirical evidence that HIV causes what is caused "Aids," and HIV has never been isolated.

AIDS symptoms in africa are different than in the US.

The Africa AIDS stats are silly, since they don't actually test people - they just look for symptoms. Symptoms which are the same as many other tropical diseases. Then they give these people anti-viral drugs which make them sicker... and make them have the same symptoms as people in the US who take the anti-virals. Then they claim "see, it's AIDS."

Color me skeptical.

Deusberg thinks it's an auto-immune reaction caused by sexual practices, drug use, and malnutrition which amplify each others effects and allow opportunistic infections to occur. HIV virus may or may not have much to do with it - it may just be a virus that's common among people who do that sort of thing.
