That is the most disgusting article I've read in a long time. This government is starting to fuckin disgust me

I have been disgusted a long time. We all have to get disgusted enough to vote for a change. It is never good for one party to control all branches of the government. We need a balance so that both parties are forced to compromise and moderate. VOTE.

*sniffs and runs away* DMW doesn't like me.

Of course I like you. I'd even cook something for you to take your mind off that Mexican buffet that caused you such distress. :hug:

Sorry, but I don't cook Cajun. I have never lived in Cajun country. But I did live in New Orleans, so I can cook Creole!

America is a lot more conservative then us europeans are led to believe.

Introducing such laws is a step backward for human rights in my book.

This new rule is revolting. It is based on politics and not on scientific testing. If I need a blood transfusion, I want to know that it is safe. I want it completely tested with the best testing equipment available right now.

It doesn't matter to me about the STATISTICS. If the donor happens to be on the wrong side of the statistics then I have the disease. So if only 1 in 100,000 have it, wouldn't hurt to test for it.

On the other hand if 90,000 out of 100,000 have it, and I have absolute proof that the donor DOESN'T have it, then I would accept the donor's blood.

This should be only about scienctific data and ALL should be tested. Period. Same rules for everyone. The cost is the same for testing for all so economics is NOT a factor.

Sure, ask if the person is HIV Positive or has aids. We can ask if someone is gay and has had a anal sex. And that person can lie. If it is a closeted person with significant family member around, he or she is going to lie about it for sure.

THIS IS JUST AN ATTEMPT TO PUT DOWN, IN ANYWAY POSSIBLE, ALL GAY, BI AND LESBIAN BEHAVIOR. This has nothing to do with disease control.

Well, gays can&#39;t be Arabic translators.

Apparently they can. I know two gay Arabic translators at the UN.

I don&#39;t think lesbians have to worry about AIDS. Exclusive lesbians only have to worry about IV drugs.

True and I doubt many lesbians will volunteer sperm either. I just included them in the mix of people the this government will discriminate against and rail against if given a chance.

I did not realize that if a lesbian had aids, she could not give it to a female partner. I know the chances are less, but I didn&#39;t know it was impossible. Some women can get aids from men. Somehow it is mainly women who have aids in Africa, though I don&#39;t know why.

An explanation would be appreciated.

Studies from HIV serosurveys among women attending sexually transmitted disease clinics and women&#39;s health clinics also suggest that HIV infection in lesbian and bisexual women is closely associated with injection drug use or to sexual contact with men at increased risk for HIV infection. These data do not exclude the possibility of female-to-female sexual transmission of HIV, but they do indicate that it is rare.

However rare such transmission may be, women who have sexual contact with other women need to be aware of the potential for infection with HIV, including the risk behaviors of their sex partners. Lesbian women should know that vaginal and cervical secretions and menstrual blood are potentially infectious and that mucous membrane (e.g., oral, vaginal) contact with infected blood or secretions can lead to HIV transmission.

Well, the political right has never exactly been big fans of science, now have they?

Witness the evolution vs. "creationism" debate... :evilgrin:

I concur. Go rent the movie X-Men and X-Men 2. If you pay attention to the plot and some of the dialogue, you can apply that to fags... opps I mean homosexuals and society today.

And The Bell Curve. And abstinence education. And ANWR. And global warming. Actually, the whole think tank thing is anti-science by nature.

ha/ha I have to admit that I never realized that some people differentiated between the two. Your comment prompted me to do a little research and now I find that I&#39;m a tad more educated on one of my favorite styles of food.

It&#39;s more than just food. The Cajuns are in southwest Louisiana, and their language is basically seventeenth century Canadian French with some Spanish, African and English loanwords. Creole, however, is indigenous to the New Orleans area and the Caribbean and has much more Spanish and African/Caribbean loanwords than does Cajun. The few Cajuns you find in New Orleans are the country bumpkins who moved to the big city. Cajun and Creole are not mutually intelligible, and the same can be said of their cultures and cuisine. Even dishes that have a common name are different in the two cultures. Cajun gumbo and Creole gumbo are two different animals, and anyone who has lived in South Louisiana for any reasonable length of time will have no trouble distinguishing the two. Cajun food is okay, but I much prefer Creole, probably because it shares many features with Cuban food.

When I tried to make my deposit, you were too sleepy ... something about too much school work. But you were sleeping on your stomach, so I left it in your ... um ... &#39;night depository&#39;. Now you know why some people call me &#39;a pain in the ass&#39;&#33;
