Gere attacks Bush over sex education
18/07/2004 - 12:51:59
Hollywood heart-throb Richard Gere launched a scathing attack on American President George W Bush's attitude to sex education in Bangkok on Tuesday.
The passionate actor was speaking at the 15th International Aids conference in the Thai capital, after visiting India the previous week with his younger brother David to highlight the Aids epidemic.
Gere took the opportunity to attack Bush's unrealistic approach to sex education after the president proposed in the 2005 budget that $270m (?216.8m) should be put into funding programs which dissuade teenagers from having sex.
During his time as Governor of Texas from 1995 until 2000, Bush ensured sex education in schools taught that abstinence was the only way to protect teens from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and pregnancy.
Since Bush's abstinence only policy came into force, Texas' teen pregnancy rate - one of the highest in America - has remained the same, while the amount of STDs amongst Texan youths has risen.
Gere fumes: "The most important issue is this one, to this planet, to this time and place is AIDS. We may well have hopefully another administration in about four months in the US and along with that some sanity on this subject."
Gere added the billions of dollars spent on the Iraq campaign, "probably could have eradicated this illness".
Ho,Ha,Ha, ha,ha hahaha
Chris Rock: "They ain't NEEEVER gonna cure AIDS!"
How many Richard Gere's does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Just one - but it takes an entire emergency room to get it out!

You are absolutely correct.

,,, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!! More than I need to know!! [LOL]
"Not to me it isn't. I'm not in a 'risk group.' "
Indeed. AIDS research is for those who want to have their cake and eat it too. They do not want to remove themselves from risky behavior.
How in the world he can claim that AIDS is the most important issue on the PLANET?? He is obsessive/compulsive on this issue, apparently. There are PLENTY of other things to be concerned about. You don't catch AIDS from casual contact, remember, as they constantly remind us?? Just advocate stopping the behavior, and AIDS and other bio-hazards will become ineffective...
If you can still find it, Robert D Raiford read this on the air on the John Boy & Billy Big Show about 6 or 7 years ago. I know it's on one of their albums and just listening to him delivering the story is absolutely hilarious

"There already is a cure"
In so many words . . . ;)
"Hollywood heart-throb Richard Gere".
My foot! James Marsters can wipe the floor with him.
DixiChix bash Bush in England
Moore trashes all america overseas.
Gere now calls america puritans but in bangcok.
Seems the Naziwood elites are playing to antiamericans overseas to protect their careers.
"Hollywood heart-throb Richard Gere ???????????? "
My thoughts, exactly.
Heart throbs should be a lot closer to reality. Maybe -- your fiance or husband!
