You know the answer to your question, you're just looking for a fight.

No I don't. Lot's of diseases are preventable. Obviously people should take steps to prevent preventable diseases -- nobody's going to argue with you on that. But why treat AIDS differently on FR than lung cancer, heart disease, or, frankly, mesothelioma (a nearly 100% preventable disease that you can avoid by simply not inhaling asbestos fibers)?

The vast majority of HIV cases STILL occur in homosexual males. Homosexual males want society to educate schoolchildren in the lifestyle, want the parents to accept, fund, and approve the education of their children in the lifestyle, and want society as a whole to ignore the severe physical and mental consequences of the “gay” lifestyle.

You are WAY OFF on this!

My Mother died of lung cancer, NEVER SMOKED IN HER LIFE!!!

THERE ARE MANY causes of cancer and heart disease not related to life style.

Can you SAY THAT ABOUT AIDS???

At LAST, you ask an INTELLIGENT question! At LAST!

I don't know the answer to why AIDS gets so much more attention and funding and political capital than far more virulent and easily communicable diseases.

If you ever find out why AIDS is so much more important, let us all know.
