It is amazing to me that the media,WHO,the UN are so quick to tell the world how Africans are dying before their 40th birthday because of AIDS, yet I never see an article or report about the average life span of a homosexual here in the U.S.
Maybe their to busy telling everybody how great the lifestyle is...

How can this be?
While AIDS exploded under Reagan, Klintoon wiped it out during his 8 years!
After all Klintoon went to Africa ($90 million trip during his last year of free loading) to personally take care of things!

I hate to say this, but AIDS is indeed the greatest crisis on the continent of Africa. My son lives in Zambia, and has personally witnessed this dreaded disease in every segment of the population. It is a plague.

Yet another example of the NY slimes, its writers and editors being innumerate...the mathematical equivalent of illiterate:
while one born in Sierra Leone would probably not survive beyond 36.
That is not what that statistic means. Example, 5 people, 4 of whom live to 50 and one dies at age zero. Average life expectancy is 40, even though 80% lived past that. Child deaths heavily distort the average life expectancy because they are so far from the mean age of death. Undoubtably, most children born in sierra leone will live past 36...but that is not alarmist enough for the agenda they are pushing in their 'news'
To: Jimmyclyde
In Zimbabwe, the average life expectancy for men and women was 37.9; in Zambia it was 39.7; and in Angola it was 39.9. In Switzerland it was 80.6, and it was 80.4 in Sweden and 79.7 in France. In a never ending effort to make life fair, might I suggest that we have a form of affirmative action here. It is probably not possible to extend the life span of those in Zambia or Angola, so I think the French should kill enough young French citizens to bring these statistics into conformity.

It is a plague Accoring to CIA World Factbook -- Zambia, Zambia's population is growing at the annual rate of 1.52%. To paraphrase Mark Twain, news of Africa's death has been greatly exaggerated.
Like I said elsewhere, we are dealing with an alliance of politicians who are trying to appear useful and scientists who use scary headlines to get grant money.

Blacks in the US want reparations? They should pay us for getting them out of Africa.

Medical break through have enabled those who suffer with AIDS and HIV to live longer and continue to infect more............. A sad state of affairs.
The medicines that are used do not kill the virus only slow it down and as you say allow the infected to infect more and more.
In an effect to stop the disease they have in fact spread it.
This fact and the combination of the powerful homosexual agenda promoting their lifestyle as "gay" and fun has caused some serious problems in this country and in the world.
There is no medicine on earth that can cure perversion.

"Today's global health situation raises urgent questions about justice," Dr. Jong Wook Lee, the director general of the health agency, wrote in an introduction. No, it does raise questions about justice. It does raise questions about why the cradle of mankind is a hundred years or more behind the West in civilizing themselves.
This guy has no sense of history. Plagues have wiped out a third of the population in Europe in recorded history. Influenza killed over 30 million worldwide in less than two years in the early part of the twentieth century.
But AIDS did not have that effect here. Why? Because we have modern medicine, modern sanitation, and a system of media and education that informed people of the dangers.
Sub-Saharan Africa has none of those things, and until that part of the world enters the modern era, plagues are going to be a fact of life for them.

I don't know about this statistic, but meaningful life expectency statistics only count people living to five years. This takes into account infant mortality.

Is the disease not spread predominantly by homosexual and heterosexual promiscuity? What are WE supposed to do about that? They don't need our drugs or money. They need our Christian values and principles. And there are many good Christians already there providing them with that. Maybe that is really what they need, more Christian missionaries. I suppose in time, Christians will be the only ones left.
It appears to be an exceedingly bad idea to live contrary to God's law. Doing so can destroy entire civilizations.

You son must have superhuman powers to see "every segment of the population" and gather the numbers through his own eyes. He could put hundreds of researchers out of business.

Let's just throw $15 billion at the problem (courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer). That's should solve it. </sarcasm>

"A baby girl born now in Japan could expect to live 85 years, while one born in Sierra Leone would probably not survive beyond 36."
That's not really what average life expectancy means.
