[Oz]

Discuss.

was not meant for everyone, however a few became to promiscuous. therefore everyone must now suffer

[youngvr4]

anybody notice that aids came out the sametime as gay rights?

i have nothing against gay's but thats just something thats been on my mind for a while

[91300zxtt]

well you have to understand how america at least got aids, short and disgusting story

This thread is bullshit.
It implies that 'nature' has made a moral judgement on human social activities. This is about as valid as my microwave oven disapproving of my choice of food for dinner.
STDs are just viruses or bacteria which have found a particular niche in which they can live. Microbes, like any life form on earth are adaptable and opportnistic. They found a place to live, that is either inconvenient or fatal to people. Its no different than catching the common cold or pneumonia.

ya, but had someone down the line not made the mistake of having intercourse with something infected there would be no way we would have these std's today

[Raz_Kaz]

I love how Oz just starts a thread and leaves without his opinion
Anyways I don't think that nature is a thinking thing that knows enough to punish sexual activity. Sex is natural...how about that

Most STD's have been around for centuries. Even AIDS has been existing in the primate populations of Africa long before it hit people, possibly centuries. have heard that a slight mutation of the chimpanzee AIDS virus led to the human AIDS virus.

AIDS does not discriminate between the virtous and the promiscuous.

Getting AIDS does not mean you have been a morally 'bad' person, just unfortunate.

If you are looking for microbial justice, lets work on a fatal virus that only kills murderers, child molestors etc,

HAHA yes thats how we got it is from the primates. a couple of sick guys decided to have sex with the monkees and voila. now they got what they deserved in my opinion

True, although a condom helps lessen the possibility of getting a STD, there are others ways of getting them.

As for AIDS, I agree totally (and then some) with what MagicRat said.

If one looks up STDs, you would be surprised at all the types there are.
Here and Here After looking at the list, I'm surprised people even touch each other.

It could also be that Oz is pulling our mind strings, he posts the question and at the same time he posts that quote of scoring with sheep.

Your ignorance is showing.
(It never occured to the rest of us that sex with animals is a possibility. Do you think about sex with animals often? )

A bite from an infected monkey is much more likely.

The first recorded case of human AIDS was in 1959. A sailor from a merchant ship was hospitalised in London for pneumonia and died quite quickly. He was not gay, but had recently returned from several African cities where locals were selling caged monkeys as pets. He never bought one, but as caged monkeys can be nasty.
As he did not respond to treatment, they kept tissue samples. Researchers did not look at those samples again until about 10 years ago at which time the AIDS virus was detected.
So, we are all fortunate that the AIDS virus did not get into the general human population earlier.

Either way, it's not natures punishment for sex...



and twospirits, Oz left out the rest of that quote...it finishes off with "next to australian women"

Hey Raz

I know that, which led me to think its just a mind game.

[BLU CIVIC]

think it all has to do with the rainforest...they're chopping down trees unleashing animals that are infected that in turn bite humans infecting them...

i'm happy i didn't catch anything during my "fun" years...but that still doesn't mean that it can't accidentlly happen...

but i don't think itz something that was created to condem humans...i think it was always there...and us being human...cut and destroyed until we found it and as always...test and research on people and animals till our hearts consent...or until itz made public

it was all over the news back in the early 80's and late 70's about guys doing this to chimps. so no ther was no ignorance shown, just facts as to another way we have been infected with aids.
