No matter who or what you're sticking your dick in (ass, vag, mouth, monkey), remember boys and girls, wear a condom. Well, if you don't know the sexual history of it... Even that's not 100% effective, but at least it's a shield.
Ain't it funny that we went from talking about the Catholic church to gay sex? That can't be a coincidence. 
#512 Re: The Garden » Vatican lists "new deadly sins" » 971 weeks ago
Simply put, the most unsafe form of sexual intercourse is between two men.
That's not really true... Statistically, many more straight people have anal intercourse than gays. A lot of the gay people I know don't even have anal sex.
Check here: http://www.garynull.com/documents/Conti … x&AIDS.htm
The most unsafe form of sexual intercourse is anal sex, but there's no difference whether it's between a man and a woman or a man and a man. The only difference is gay men don't have vaginal sex either, so statistically 100% of all AIDS infections that are a result of vaginal intercourse occur in straight people.

That is how it happened.
Oh please, you actually believe that? It's far more likely that it came from eating the infected chimps than fucking them.

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.
It bewilders me that the two bold statements could be in the same post. The only reason AIDS was ever prominent among the homosexual population has to do with a history of promiscuity and lack of protection. I'm not 100% sure on the stats, but a relatively small number of homosexuals practice anal sex, which is where the problem lies... Anal sex is more likely than any other to result in bleeding (and stools contain blood and carry disease anyway) therefore, people who practiced unprotected anal sex historically have had a greater risk for AIDS. Straight people have the same risks, especially if they're having unprotected sex with a number of sexual partners (which is a growing segment in society). Whether a person is gay has nothing to do with it.
I'm not a believer that AIDS was man-made, but I know it's certainly an epidemic in Africa. The main problem is how these people are not being helped. One of the main problems is that HIV is spread from mother to child and because of other illnesses surrounding the impoverished region, the children are dying of a combination of AIDS and other diseases. Lack of proper sexual education, intervention, and hygiene are to blame first and foremost.

About the legal implications...
In my business law class this term, we studied a case whereby a lady released a baby-care ad for public promotion. The video featured toys but she did not have the permission of the toy company. The company caught wind of it and successfully sued her. The company successfully argued that they did not endorse her product and therefore felt that the lady misrepresented herself as affiliated with the company.
I don't see how this case would be argued differently. Sure, a different decision would probably be met, but Axl could at least get this case brought to court... If not now, then when the promotion is actually released. Although it's possible that Dr Pepper's marketing team would develop this strategy without contacting anyone in the GNR camp, it's unlikely that they would. Especially if they have a competent legal team. It's far more likely that they contacted all parties involved before investing anything into the campaign. Otherwise, the promotion would be a potential disaster. Think about it. Even though Dr Pepper has the promotion worded as a challenge to GNR and they would probably be able to successfully argue that this doesn't harm GNR or the label or anything else in a court of law, there would be legal costs on top of everything else in order to fight it. It's far more logical to assume that the company would contact everyone involved prior to releasing the ad campaign to avoid such costs. Moreover, those who argue that the campaign hasn't been officially released yet so GNR probably didn't know beforehand, well, if the company waited until the last minute to get permission from the band and label and didn't receive approval, all of a sudden they're out the millions they've invested into the campaign. Corporate marketing and legal teams aren't stupid.
For the record, I'm not saying Axl's lying... it's all part of the promotion. It's a game. Dr Pepper challenges and Axl Rose remains mysterious and accepts the challenge without ever saying the album will definitely come out in 2008. It's creating a buzz.
#515 Re: Guns N' Roses » DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE! » 971 weeks ago
I don't get it - why do people think that there would be a lawsuit for Dr Pepper mentioning GN'R in an independent marketing campaign, unless GN'R authorised it first???? It's not like Dr Pepper has said "this promotion is endorsed by Guns N' Roses" or anything similar.
It's a promotion based upon an event either happening or not. They haven't defamed GN'R or anything else. There are no grounds for suing. To say that simply because they mentioned the name is the basis for suing is ridiculous - it's akin to saying anybody that might mention the name GN'R in a sentance can be sued. Well radio DJ's etc that make jokes about CD not being released better look out
Extending that logic futher GN'R better watch themselves otherwise they will have a lawsuit from China for using that countries name and promoting a form of government that they vehemently oppose.
Journalists and DJs don't stand to profit from using the GNR name. They're protected by free speech and freedom of the press anyhow. If Dr Pepper is using the GNR name to promote its product, then its likely that they received permission. Otherwise, the company would face legal ramifications. Advertising campaigns can be very tricky, but if they're connected to a separate entities products or services and that entity does not endorse the connection, that's the tort of passing off. Such can be subject to C&D orders or lawsuits.

I have predicted for years that when CD is finally on the launch pad, Buckethead will be on board.
Interesting. I've always said it would be appropriate to tour with the band that's on the album. Now that we know Buckethead is there, it would be interesting to see if he's back in the fold. I'm also predicting the same from Brain. However, it makes you wonder about how significant those recording sessions with Ron and Frank actually were and whether those snippets will be used on the album.
We haven't had any activity from anyone in the band really in the past while. Ron is focusing on solo material, and Frank's been busy with Pisser. Maybe they're out? Anyone hear Ron talking about GNR lately?
#517 The Garden » Tim Hortons Cups Being Pre-Rolled? » 971 weeks ago

Some background first... Tim Hortons is like Canada's McDonalds and Starbucks mixed together. Anyway, they have an annual contest "Roll Up The Rim to Win" where you roll up the rim of your cup and see if you win a prize. I'm a daily drinker and have had about 25 coffees since the promotion this year and have not yet won a single prize (odds of winning anything is 1 in 9). I've noticed a few times that the cups look like they've been tampered with and have requested replacement cups. But this story is going around in all the coffee shops this year and it looks like employees are to blame. Tim Hortons argues that the problem is with cup dispensers, which is bullshit because one of the stores I've gotten a rolled cup doesn't have the dispenser in question. Nonetheless, it's a very terrible situation.
N.L. man claims Timmy's cup was pre-rolled
Updated Thu. Mar. 27 2008 10:13 AM ET
CTV.ca News Staff
A committed, long-term Tim Hortons customer is breaking ties with the donut shop after being served coffee in what he says was a pre-rolled 'Roll Up The Rim to Win' cup.
Newfoundlander Bernard Delaney told CTV's Canada AM his daily Timmy's fix used to include a French vanilla cappuccino and a chocolate-dipped donut -- but he plans to sever the longstanding relationship.
Delaney purchased the cup on March 13 when he stopped at Tim Hortons on his way to work at St. John's City Hall.
"Last Thursday I got to work and after finishing, I took the cover of my cup and the rim had completely been rolled up...I would say my colour changed. I felt sick to my stomach."
Delaney is one of several Tim Hortons customers in Atlantic Canada to have complained in recent days that their cups had been tampered with. Halifax construction worker Richard O'Brien of Halifax complained last week that his rims had already been rolled up.
Tim Hortons has explained that a manufacturing issue was to blame for a flaw in a small number of cups distributed in Atlantic Canada.
"Because of this minor issue customers may have obtained a cup that appears to be rolled up or puckered along the rim," stated the company's public affairs director Rachel M. Douglas.
"This can only be for 'please play again' or in some cases a food prize as all major prize cups (i.e. car, boat, GPS, $50 TimCard) are inspected by hand before distribution into the contest. We have taken steps to remedy this situation."
Delaney doesn't swallow that explanation and said the store owners have "shrugged off" his complaint. He showed the cup on camera that he claims was pre-rolled, and said it even had teeth marks on the rim.
He remains adamant the only explanation is that an employee at the outlet was searching for a prize-winning cup.
"I do believe it and no one would convince me otherwise," he said. "I've seen one of the cups that had the flaw in them, and that's nothing compared to this."
The co-owner of the franchise, Michael Van De Weil, told The St. John's Telegram he reviewed video footage from the store at the time that Delaney was served his coffee, and determined nothing was amiss.
"We watched his cup go out of the store. We saw it. Nobody touched his cup with their teeth," he told the newspaper.
Delaney said he would have happily dropped the issue if he had simply received an apology from the store.

Two sensible, reasonable, reliable updates from Axl in two days! One says Buckethead is on the album and implies the album will come out in 2008, and a second about new management. What next?
Just thought of something to play devil's advocate... these two messages could be related, but not the way I originally thought. It's possible that GNR was in kahoots with Dr Pepper and had this idea for promotion and decided to announce the new management and get the ball rolling, but it's also possible that the reverse is true. Maybe no management company was looking to work with GNR as there was no market for the band, until this Dr Pepper story hit the bandwagon and everyone climbed aboard. Then suddenly these two guys get the dollar signs in their eyes, call Axl, and say they want to represent him.
