I'm not talking about total cases of anal sex. Obviously there are more straight people doing it because 97% of the population is straight.  I'm talking percentage within the community.  Again, what percent of gay men are infected with an STD compared to heterosexual couples?  The answer is found right there.

Whethere the AIDS virus was transmitted from easting or having sex with a monkey (we will never know for sure) it certainly wasn't invented in a lab and sent out to the people of the world as some would have us to belive.

Look at the statistics for STDs and AIDS in the homosexual community versus that in the heterosexual community.  Although I didn't want to get this graphic in my original post, the reason AIDS is more prevalent in the homosexual community is because the anus wasn't designed to strecth.  Anal intercourse tears the anus and obviously, traces of blood exist creating the bridge to spread the virus.  While AIDS can certainly be contracted through vaginal intercourse, the Vagina is designed to be stretched and the same amount of bodily fluids isn't exchanged. 

If you read my post to read that gay sex causes AIDS, that wasn't what I was saying.  Simply that AIDS is more common statistically in the gay community becuase of their sexual habits.  Simply put, the most unsafe form of sexual intercourse is between two men.

Lack of proper sexual education, intervention, and hygiene are to blame first and foremost.

You're exactly right.

No one believes AIDS to be a man made disease.  Only conspiracy theory wackos throw shit like that out there.  AIDS is spread through drug use and unsafe sexual activity (specifically homosexual sex between two men).  AIDS is an epidemic in Africa because of their low education rates and the refusal of their governments to intervene.  You can't make an argument that sexual relations is a private matter and is of no business of the government (my personal opinion) or that it requires government intervention when something goes wrong and people refuse to practice safe habits. 

People who stick their dick in or spread their legs for anyone deserve what they get.  When you behave and act like an animal, you suffer the same fate as the creatures who live in nature.  Mankind left "nature" and created society to remove the dangers and ills of living with the animals. 

The people within the Catholic Church view promiscuity as a Sin, and aren't expected to teach a sexual education program in your view.  If people only engaged in sexual relations with people whom they know and trust, STDs would drop dramatically.  There is a cost with every lifestyle or vice.  Blaming the Church for telling Adults not to behave dangerously and like animals for the cause of AIDS is so warped and off the point I don't know how to respond to you seriously.  Then to suggest that AIDS is a created disease just completely discredits your argument.  I understand that you live in a different world than ours, but you should really consider posting this bullshit where young adults and teenager who don't know any better may accept it as fact.

Bri, I didn't mean it as an insult towards bucket.  But the prevailing opinion is that he is an amazingly technical guitar player, but lacks the "rock n' roll" edge of the greats.  Prime example being Hendrix.  Hendrix fucked up technically all the time, but the emotion and soul he brought was like no one else.  I like bucket and own some of his CDs.  I love his work on CD.  I just don't think his playing style can't be equaled by Ron.  To each their own.

#4276 Re: Guns N' Roses » DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE! » 911 weeks ago

I don't see why people are so obsessed with buckethead.  Don't get me wrong, he's an amazing guitar player, but he certainly doesn't have the emotion in his play that Slash and Robin bring.  I think we should wait to hear an original with Ron before we assume he can't be an equal replacement for Bucket.  Besides, on a fan level, how many fans did Bucket ever meet with, chat with or even give tickets to a show?  Ron has done all of that.

#4277 Re: Guns N' Roses » DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE! » 911 weeks ago

It's implied that CD will be out this year.  Axl said he'd share his Dr. Pepper with Buckethead.  For Axl to get the Dr. Pepper, CD has to come out.....

Aussie, Dr. Pepper is a Pepsi Product.

I certainly have my own reservations and issues with the Catholic Church and organized religion in general.  I simply wonder how one can label it the most evil institution ever?  Specifically when the message of that institution is love thy neighbor and do onto others as you would have them do on to you.  We all know there are problems in how this is followed and executed.  I just don't believe one can inteligently show them to be an evil institution, let alone the most evil one.

That's a matter of perception.
The Catholic church demolished womens place in society for over a thousand years. We're still suffering from the after effects.
They held our scientific evolution back for a thousand years.
They waged war, enslaved, tortured and killed in the name of god for just as long, and in many ways still do.
They supported the nazi's and even helped thousands of them escape.
They are partially responsible for the AIDS epidemic through their disapproval of condoms.
And most importantly, they have shitted all over the true purpose of Christianity with their distortion of the message.
The reason I call them the most evil is because I view all organized groups as unhealthy for society, and none more than organized religion. The Catholic Church have been around the longest and done the most, so they get the honorable prize.

great post and examples.
randall, no offense but i think you should catch up on your history books. and by history i don't mean the last century, i mean from the beggining. it's the most well organised institution ever.

i've read the "new sins", who are they to decide what a sin is? isn't that what their god does? are they playing god now?

If you're going to question my education level and knowledge of history, be sure your's surpasses my own.  Polluxm's example begs many questions.  I believe Culture and Religion are intertwined.  So which one affects the other more?  If the church is responsible for holding back scientific progress, why had the tribes in Africa and North America not even create the wheel or written language?  They had never heard of Cathloicism.  There's more to Polluxm's argument than is being shown here, let's just say he makes many assumptions about things you probably haven't considered.  The greatest advances in science came from Europe under the "rule" of the church.  I'm not arguing that the Catholic church hasn't be influenced by corruption and has done things I don't agree with, I'm simply stating that they're not evil and certainly not the most evil.  From the short list of reasons why Polluxlm considers the Church to be evil, don't you think the Islamic faith would better fit those?  Who has trampled on women's rights and impeded cultural and scientific growth more than Islam?

Unfortunately, with both Hillary and Barack both wanting to create the largest and most costliest social program ever, inflation will continue.

Solution: Quit giving tax cuts to the rich and large corporations.  Start ending the massively expensive war.  I think that should just about pay for it...  and then some.

The war isn't massively exspensive, this 3 trillion dollar figure is bullshit.  We've spen 600 Billion on the war over 5 years, a large sum yes, but not nearly as large a sum as socialized medicine would be.  Not to mention, when we do need to fight another war, we'll have to add its cost on top of the outrageous cost of providing health care to those who either refuse to pay for it, fill out paperwork to get it, or are 40 and work a McDonalds type job but expect the same lifestyle as someone who possesses an actual skill.  The figures speak for themselves on health care.  Most Americans have access to care if they choose.  Only 1% don't have any access to care.  Even with your golden boy Obama's most optimistic interpretation of his plan, 5% will still be uninsured. 

The answer to taxation is a flat tax so all people pay taxes proportionate to their income.  We also need to end tax credits to the people who use the most resources.
