    HAHAHAHAH.

    This is the man's "data." Of course, a website that says "it's unfair" roundly blows away the actual data put out by the federal government that shows Protein's statements to be a bald lie.

    Unbelievable. Good riddance.

    I'm very familiar with the word sarcasm. But i never thought you will step this low.
    I really thought you had something positive to say.

    Good riddance indeed.

    My thoughts exactly, to use this so called 'sarcasm' on such a topic is beyond belief.

    Protein has something against homosexual, and it's so strong that it blinds him from the actual facts. There is a word in dictionary for that, I believe, called 'ignorance'.

    What else would make you demand to stop the funding of HIV researches and label it as gay disease? And on the top of that, make jokes and use 'Sarcasm' about the issue?

    The only way to "cure" AIDS is if all 30 Million people infected died. I dont care who you are but thats not a cure and I dont think we should start putting prices on peoples live. How much money is too much if your loved one is affected? Ill answer that one for you, as much as it takes.

    Please re read what I wrote paying particular attention to the bolded part and the connotation of cure when quotation marks are placed on it.

    Postscript:

    I noted Protein was on his thread, and pm'ed him, to stand up and respond to the data he was shown. He responded, with a rep & rep comment, "homosexuality is a mental illness," and a pm that repeats the same mantra:

    Hopeless. And sad. Meanwhile, human beings, gay and straight, men, women, children, succumb to this disease.

    I was following you somewhat until that last bit... Take that out and your argument would be a lot better.

    I didn't say I agreed with him, I just said I was following him, as in it made some kind of sense. It does seem that spending on diseases should be somewhat relative to the amount of damage they cause the public.

    The last bit was just totally out of left field. It made me feel like he was saying that we shouldn't care about AIDS because it's a disease of gay people and ... besides that not being true (that it's a disease only of gay people) even if it were, I find the idea that we shouldn't care because it's just a "gay disease" highly offensive.

    Ah, I understand.

    Protein has never heard that AIDS is a human, and not gay disease. From what I can tell, he has an apparent obsession with sodomy, and this has gotten a hold of him to the point where it determines his view across a host of issues.

    But, the man is gone. I hope he finds peace, and leaves others to it as well.

    Innocent children get this disease and die from it everyday, they didnt' ask for it and it has nothing to do with being gay. Of course we should spend money researching it, no child should have to die from their parents irresponsibility.

    Looks like you've come up with a perfect slogan for the abortion subject as well..

    Good point!
