https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bsr1wPQCYAALiEE.jpg I saw this billboard yesterday in Ft. Worth and almost puked. First, don't glorify AIDS. Don't make it look cool or trendy, or even "Okay". It's a fucking devastating disease arising almost exclusively out of deviant behavior. Secondly, why has society done a 360 and started glorifying shameful and deviant shit? Rather than putting up billboards of happy, smiling AIDS victims telling us God loves them, I think God would prefer that we denounce the kind of behavior that leads to STD's. It's called morality. Young people (who are stupid and impressionable) will see these things and figure AIDS and related shit is not all that bad ... and maybe even holy and cool. "Maybe if I get AIDS, God will love me more". Fuck me. I really doubt anyone will ever think AIDS is cool. I think the purpose of the campaign is "I have AIDS, but I'm still a human being.

When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, "Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?" And hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners." View Quote |

He didn't make that distinction and is drawing a very large generality that has changed quite a bit over time from what I understand. Take homosexual transmission for example, from what I understand the rate of infection has dropped over time largely due to changes in culture and changes in homosexual behavior. If changes in heterosexual and homosexual sexual behavior hadn't occurred in the US then it would have become an issue for heterosexuals in the US, which is exactly what you see in Africa ie, a lack of change in sexual behavior. The poster's view is awfully myopic. |

I'll get blasted for this but are we not told by God to hate the sin and love the sinner? So what is wrong with the billboard? I highly doubt anyone is going to see that and think maybe aids would be cool. Did Jesus not say you without sin cast the first stone? No I don't have AIDS but I can only imagine people who do would feel pretty hopeless. What is up with all the hate? Jesus was compassionate to everyone, prostitutes, lepers, etc. Your tirade sounds similar to what I would think the Pharisees would say. Does God hate deviate behavior? Of course. I have not been an angel on this earth by any means (probably worse than most of the degenerates here) but remember God says the rod that you use to judge others is the same rod that he will use to judge you. Now let all your hate filled hearts spew forth your bile.

For starters try ...... www.cdc.gov Years ago I had a lot of information on it when it was a topic of discussion within the family because of the number of health care providers in the family. However to quote those statistics today would be foolish because of the time lapsed since. I would hope that things are better today. Blood Transfusion ---- I would think this is impossible today, what with all the blood screening going on and such. I know the ARC has done a lot along the lines of screening the people who go to donate, as well as screening the blood from those whom they do accept. Would not want to gather a guess on the rape or incest thing though. . View Quote My only concern is with people using exceptions in an attempt to disprove a rule, when it is often the exceptions that actually prove the rule. This is just a tangent discussion, but I believe it could be disingenuous to use examples such as people born with HIV or someone who got it through a blood transfusion to argue against the fact that the vast majority of today's transmission cases in the USA have been behavior based. Unless I'm mistaken, and if someone shows me the data that shows me to be mistaken I will freely admit that I'm wrong in this and thank them, but HIV in the USA today is overwhelmingly preventable with responsible lifestyle choices. I'm not saying that exceptions can't be found, but IIRC they are a fairly uncommon in today's circumstances. However, as I mentioned earlier, that doesn't change one bit the message from the billboard that God loves people, including those infected with HIV. |

Quoted:
When I was in school no one would shut up about aids. Aids awareness, hiv, etc. etc. I haven't heard hiv mentioned in person in 10 years. View Quote They have a pharmacy close by the park where I ride my bike. I think I'll stop in there tomorrow and see what they charge for a few common meds. The marketing campaign is awfully slick. We got past this problem around twenty years ago. They make me wonder about their sincerity. |
