Quote: backwards7 said: You can sit and moralise about AIDS all you want. While you are doing that HIV is mutating into more virulent and more resistant forms and chemists such as Eddy Arnold, who deal with practicalities, are looking for workable methods of fighting the disease. They need more money and more support and they should be regarded as heroes.
When it comes to tackling AIDS, there needs to a coordinated global effort similar to the way that we fought to eradicate Polio and Small Pox, or the way in which we are currently attempting to contain a potential bird flu pandemic.
I'm not saying we shouldn't fight it, and I'm not saying people infected no matter how they were infected shouldn't be cared for.
I also recognize that religion is responsible in most cases for further spread of the virus because of thier views and how they love to spread and sometimes force thier views on other people.
Mother Teresa for example, sure she cared for the African HIV victims, she helped treat thier wounds, but did she help the overall cause when she spoke out against condoms. I don't know what her views on abstenance were.
The people I have no compassion or pitty for are the average American/first world country type HIV victim. People who ignored numerous attempts and warnings to educate them. People who choose to ignore warnings.
