AIDS: The Facts.
http://www.whatisaids.com/wwwboard/messages/368.html
In the commentary of Ron Jeremy's movie, Ron said AIDS was mostly a homosexual male's disease and IV drug users' disease in North America. He explained that at the HIV clinic he would get his monthly tests at, that the person doing the testing for him never had a straight man get test positive for HIV in her entire career.
A problem that I see with some people is that they like to believe what they want. I suppose admitting that you are wrong and may have been wrong for many years is just too difficult to swallow. Reminds me of when I had to concede Currie was right about so many things before. I hated doing it, but I did. But since that's so hard, you can throw as many scientific facts in their faces and they are just too set in their ways to realize the truth. I don't care what I believe in as far as preset beliefs go. If you told me that some type of mill pollution was good for the environment and then showed me proof of that with an ironclad scientific study, I would believe you. Media doesn't count, because media is not peer reviewed by scientists. Some think that if they see it on TV enough, it must be true. This is very poor reasoning and I find that a lot of people fall for the same stuff. Unfortunately, unless you read something in a peer reviewed scientific publication, you don't "just know" anything.
The funny thing is, the Christian right hates that people have sex and hate homosexuals. So why was it more important for them to bring AIDS out in the open as a sexually transmitted disease, and not as a "gay cancer" type of disease? Although I know both were done, it seems the prevailing thoughts amongst people is that straight males should be concerned about getting HIV through unprotected sex. I know that statistically, I have more things to worry about...
...like drowning in a pool, falling down the stairs, getting hit by a car while crossing the street, dying from an animal attack, or getting struck by lightning. And you know, more of those types of worries that are just oh so concerning to most people.
