True - and liberal media pushing the gay agenda down our throats isn't helping.
Look at the way a majority of teens and 20 somethings behave. It IS all about banging random girls, etc. It's much worse in the Latino/African American communities.
And it is the Zionist owned media and music industries that are pumping this behavior to our youth and conditioning us to accept it as the "social norm".
lol - I just saw the article you must be referring to from Sunday - the gay Master at Yale. I think I would have to kill myself if a news artticle about someone's lifestyle made me so irate that I had to come on here and complain to strangers about things I have no idea about.

Wow! What hateful,angry people !
No - not hateful. Just overwhelmed by the lack of common sense, morality and social acceptance of our own personal actions and behaviors.

If I eat myself to death at McDonalds, you have no sympathy for me. Yet If I choose to use IV drugs or contract HIV via unprotected, non-monogomous sex - you have pitty?!?! Where's the distinction? On both issues, it would have been my decision and my behavior.

Yep, Americans are getting sick of paying for ireasponsable people. Its about time we ask for accountability!
I agree with you completely!
I'm sick and tired of my tax dollars going to funding foster homes and adoption agencies. If heterosexuals were more responsible and only had children when they planned for it, the world would be a much better place!
I'm glad we're together on this!

A thoroughly clear analysis! Who can argue with what you just described. And where would we be in a society if medical science had not found a cure for the heterosexual disease called veneral?
No one is advocating this lifestyle for you. It is not contagious. It has always been with us. It seems the problem is that it is coming out in the open now, which is almost always what truth does...Does it only become a sin when it is found out? There are many many sins mentioned in the Bible and fornication and adultry, and the consequences which cause so many divorces are just three. I frankly believe that lying is a sin...So because of the stigma we have always attached to same sex have we not made it almost necessary for those but the honest and courageous heterosexuals to hide and lie about their lifestyles, even in our military. I frankly am more concerned about those who sprew such hatred toward others. For every gay bar and gathering place there is, you can find twice that many gathering places for casual sex among heterosexuals. Why doesn't this make us just as uncomfortable? Let's let God be the judge in the final analysis and in the meantime just hope that this dreadful disease doesn't make its home in the body of someone you love.

Funny how so many of you post such ignorant comments...before you go spewing your venum, check the facts...most people who use the pill or other forms of contraception do not use condoms because they think, I am protected from getting pregnant...that is not the only thing you need to be protected from...most people who have HIV do not even know they have it because they think it cannot happen to me since I am heterosexual...hate to burst your bubble, but it can happen to anyone, not just gays or minorities...and just because someone has it or gets it, they does not give others the right to cast stones...it does not mean they were or are immoral...their partner could have been cheating on them, even just once and infected them...so to all the hypocrits out there who think that it cannot happen to them, think again.
What about all the police officers, teachers, EMT's etc who use universal precautions who become infected because of blood splatter or possibly getting bit or whatever...there is enough hatred in the world because of ignorance, try educating yourself instead.

OK, I think I'm over it...that was hilarious!
You're completely deluded if you think that sex has been a loving act, or that marriage has always been between 2 loving people.
Just curious -- how much is gas in your universe?
Um, if sex was between two loving committed people only, AIDs would occur a lot less frequently. That's the point

Ok so perhaps I should have clarified a bit.
First, AIDS was called "Gay-related immune deficiency (GRID)"
"organization called Gay Men's Health Crisis was founded to combat the homosexual-only disease produced by high levels of promiscuity, intravenous drug use, and usage of poppers"
It was the homosexual promiscuity and IV drug use that created the problem (among the Gays that you defend so much). This in turn caused the virus to be passed along through blood transfusions and bisexual men having sex with women.
How could you say it's the heterosexuals fault when it's the fanny bandit's that created the mess in this country? I mean - they were ignorant to it because nobody knew what it was - but still, it was that gay lifestyle that created it.
Perhaps the influx of the virus from Africa is natures way of telling us that races should be kept separated. Perhaps the AIDS virus was Africas version of the "Black Plague" that wiped out much of Europe.
The fact is - homosexual male intercourse is the highest risk activity for spreading the virus. You claim "educating kids" is the right thing to do - yet you have no problem pushing acceptance of a homosexual lifestyle that serves no purpose other than to satisfy sexual urges and serves no natural function for reproduction of the species.
True - it HAS spread to the point that "anybody" can get it regardless of sexual orientation - but it was gay men and race mixing that pretty much made the problem to include "everybody" and not just people in Africa. The liberal media pushing the acceptance of gays and multiculturalism furthers the problem... especially when 1 in 7 blacks in Harlem is infected. ONE IN 7! A revolver typically holds 6 shots - so it's pretty much like you're playing Russian Roulette
But true, I will agree with you, we do need better education (of everybody, not just our youth), easier access to testing, and better detection and prevention methods to help curb the problem (unless you employ an extreme tactic).
But don't think the gay community can wash their hands of it - because they were the ones that helped create the problem in the first place, furthered by the media social influence, and once it became heterosexual, further conditioning of our youth and encouraging them to take part in risky behavior.
Thanks for this "Butane". I actually have a meeting with African-American legislators this afternoon and will be bringing your hateful, racist and homophobic rantings with me on that visit to show them the kinds of attitudes out there that slow any progress some of us are tryig to forward. Likewise, when I go on my next Hill Visits in DC next month, I'll have this in hand as well. What have you done to make this world a better place?

The ignorance, arrogance and hatred in this blog is out of control. As for Butane, maybe you should join the Baptist cult that thinks homosexuality is the reason our troops are being killed in Iraq...you are as ignorant as that group and probably are a carrier of HIV and unaware of it because you are to lazy and irresponsible to get tested

You're all over the place - is it homosexuals or heterosexuals that are the problem?
This real "Bute" posts like he knows what he's talking about, when in fact all he offers is his own uneducated opinion. He knows all about teen driving laws, race track driving, car history the last 5 decades, homosexuals, gay rights and of course now, the history of AIDS. As we speak, he is out researching the price of condoms cause he can't understand why the price is so high!!(as posted in another tag!!!) He's actually quite entertaining when you realize how shallow and lacking facts his rants are!!! In other words, useless diatribe!!!!!

Excellent response, Hope.
However, it was a bit misguided - I thought my comments were sufficiently dipped in sarcasm.
I was responding to the poster who said that Americans are sick of having to pay for irresponsible peple, and it's about time we asked for accountability. Ergo, I came up with the issue of homeless and/or parentless children.

I actually agree with you, but that was not the point of the oroginal poster.
Hios post said, "If sex had remained a loving act and not evolved into a recreational sport, how many more people would be still with us? ".
See? The poster said it "if it had remained a loving act", and "not evolved into a recreational sport"...
Shoreliner, as usual, is talking nonsense and spewing it out as a fact.

Actually, HIV/AIDS began in Africa most likely in the 1950s and worldwide, it's the heterosexuals (non-gay) people who are the cause of the spread of the epidemic. We're seeing that happening here in the US as well. Part of the problem related to HIV prevention is that we don't teach comprehensive sex education in the schools. Teashing kids to just say no or giving them a one day, one time unit on reproduction isn't prevention. KIds need an ongoing message about this. In the state of CT alone 13 - 24 year olds account for 70% of the the chalmydia alone! That says that kids are NOT gettting the information they need to protect themselves. Newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in the state among people 29 and under account for 13% of the cases which means most of those people were infected as teens. Sexually active teens and young people don't routinely get tested for HIV because of these types of opinions -- that it's only a "gay" disease oronly happens to injecting drug users. People need to get the real facts and not stay mired in myths and misconceptions of homophobia and AIDS-phobia.

Seeing that you are very involved with this problem through the Treatment Action Group please explain to these posters how AIDS was introduced to the USA. Also what group has stymied the CDC's efforts to track and isolate this disease?

i don't have all the facts. i don't know all the truths...

i do however know, that if we took all this energy and put it to work... we could, COLLECTIVELY, tackle so many issues around this and other problems affecting OUR community.

agree to disagree on who does it, how they do it and who started it but realize it is ALL of our responsibility to create change.

i submit this with open arms.

The outbreak of HIV/AIDS is directly related to the near elimination of morality in the U.S.
If sex had remained a loving act and not evolved into a recreational sport, how many more people would be still with us?
If drug users were punished and not coddled, how many of them would still be with us?
HIV infections rampant amongst Blacks? No surprise here; this is the result of not having a two parent household and giving adolescents proper role models and guidance.
The solution?
Go cold turkey for a generation in terms of support for welfare mothers. This cycle must be broken before it takes down the U.S.
I really find myself laughing to keep from crying, dude. I am an African-American woman who is raising her 3 children ALONE by CHOICE. My biggest fear and worry for them is that people who harbor the ideas and prejudices that you do still exist. Your attitude will change nothing, and therefore that makes YOU part of the problem.

Is this meeting to coordinate efforts to get more funding or is it to divy up which nonprofits with top heavy salaried management get what share of existing allocated funds?

Actually, that might also say that kids are just not HEEDING the information they do get, and therefore not protecting themselves.
