What's pompous about that attitude? Despite all the evidence indicating they live a high-risk situation, homosexuals continue to engage in their deviant behavior. What more do you want us to do? Buy them all chastity belts?
If I had three children in college - I would be worried. Are they having sex with any person that was ever exposed sexually or through exposure to bodily fluids with an HIV+ person? If not, how do they know? Have their partners been tested? If not, they are taking a chance.
The reason you would be worried is because you would have taught your children that sexual promiscuity is a fact of life. You would have taught your children that homosexuality is acceptable. I raised mine better than that. I am not worried.
I am through with this discussion. I have tried to advise that our young people are in danger - gay or not. I have tried to advise that the desire to cast blame instead of finding solutions to protect all members of society is denying the danger of infection, and turning the problem into only a "gay" problem - all others are safe and should not be concerned.
You are through with the discussion because you have no further salient arguing points. "Our" young people are not in danger. "Your" young people, who have been raised in a permissive and promiscuous environment are in danger. I can't tell you how sad that makes me, but I also seem to be unable to do anything about it since you and your fellow guardians of PC and diversity are disinclined to hear the truth.
The whole tone of this thread has been who causes it and if we can make them stop their activities there would be no problem. Ok, make them stop sexual activities. We'll give you - oh maybe two years to get it stopped before we worry about anyone we know coming into danger. Until then, don't bother teaching your young that they can get exposed to HIV through sex with their partner who just might be HIV+.
You're missing the point. Most on this thread have no question as to the cause of the problem. It is only you and a few others who seem to be confused. What most on this thread decry is the inordinate amount of time and money being spent on dealing with a very small problem that does not affect the vast majority of the population who find homosexuality and IV drug use abnormal and unacceptable.
Now make all sexual activity stop between gays - we are waiting......waiting.....waiting... Now make all sexual activity stop among our young people - we are waiting....waiting....waiting.
No need. HIV will eventually achieve that result
You sir, are a complete SOB. You are not the reason I love and value FR and you are a discredit to FR. Your hateful attitude, total disregard for others is apparent.
I am highly offended by your comments saying I would raise my children believing free sex is inherent. You don't know me. I am a Christian and raised my family with Christian values - yet - that does not stop the dangers of our society rife with destruction of morals.
Any person that would make your comment above is not worth discussing anything with. How many people have you hurt with comments like that? Of course, your rationalization is - "well, it will make them wake up and change their behavior".
You - sir - do not know how many parents out there are losing children due to HIV+ thriving in our society. You chose to think let them die off - I am not involved. Great - you are one of the blessed ones. Many are not blessed and I will never - ever - say anything like they deserve to die. Maybe some blatant unresponsible selfish people do - but while they are being blatant, unresponsible and selfish, they are infecting other people in our society.
No matter what you people claim - AIDS does spread and you are creating a false sense of security with your ill-informed, naive belief that all heterosexuals are safe and only gays get the disease and they deserve it.
Now - one more time - how long do you think you will need to get the gay society to quit having sex whether you like it or not? How long before there are no more teenagers getting pregnant? How long before there are no more hormone raging, stupid, naive, sexually confused teenagers dealing with problems they are not equipped to handle (or any equipped to handle) and getting infected with HIV? Of course all of these teenagers make sure their parents do not find out what is really going on.
Because I see the truth that my entire life I have heard of unwed mothers, generation after generation, I understand that people have not listened to others telling them to abstain when in the heat of the moment and because telling gays to abstain from homosexual interests when they find no interest in heterosexual relationships is proving very unsuccessful - I am portrayed as raising a family believing they can and should practice all of the above.
Are you telling me no other parent sees the above events? Just because I see history does not mean I change my value system and teach what history has shown does happen.
A parent can talk until they are blue in the face and yet - their daughter may come up pregnant. Most people understand this - apparently you chose to live a very sheltered life unaware of what is out there in life.
I hope that you do not have to face the day your teenager comes and tells you they are HIV+.
Don't bother answering this post.
