CDC: Gay men are 2% of the population but 55% of HIV cases

They are, there are many orginizations set up just to educate homosexuals on hiv/aids. Remember the rainbow whopper and coke events that promoted aids education? Republicans lost their effing minds over it.

Not the same in the slightest - no one is blaming Republicans for aids, other than the refusal to promote safe sex education. It's an issue with safe sex and promusciaty that rests solely on the individuals.

No one is silent and there is a new thread about "homosexuals should be denied all rights because of aids", just on this forum, monthly.

Again, no one is ignoring anything - this is just your failed attempt to justify the bigotry nonsense against homosexuals. Btw, new cases in non ethnic individuals is decreasing - it's becoming more of a minority problem than a gay problem

 

And there you have it, this is exactly what I meant when I said the left won't report on this because they can't blame this on the right, but you found a way. Bravo.

 

Wow, that's a new low even for you.
No integrity

 

"Lowest percentages in history!"

When did the history of this start? 1980?

- - - Updated - - -

Why? Because it's telling the truth? Maybe you should complain to the CDC?

 

Here, let me quote something for you that was mentioned by a liberal in the Kaepernick thread:

Here is something else about democracy you might not get. Different people see different problems in step one and that affects what they say in step two. Regardless, step three is not supposed to be hide your head in shame and run out of the room. In a Democracy, we think lots of people seeing lots of different problems and talking about them is a good big boy thing to do, rather than something to feel ashamed of, and we don't want them to run away because we are all too chicken(*)(*)(*)(*) to deal with stuff and we don't want to hear it.

 

Ok, I acknowledged his/aids is an issue that is not really being ignored - although it could definitely be emphasized to youth, especially minority youth - you edited my entire post to less than one sentence to attempt a gotcha remark and I'm the one that is trying to run away? You have provided no basis for discussion or solution and instead are simply attacking gays.

Yes hiv/aids is a huge problem for gay youth but what do you feel is being accomplished by posts such as your op - read the comments on your source (AIDS being a cure for the gene pool, (*)(*)(*)(*) getting what's comming to them, and so on). While I'm satisfied you bigots aren't even trying to hide your bigotry anymore but don't whine and cry when people call you out on it.

Like I said - zero integrity

 

One thing we can stop doing is trying to blame that (*)(*)(*)(*) on people who are not responsible, and attacking it like the left does when a christian goes on a rampage. But in the name of PC we are not allowed to place responsibility on liberal voting blocks.

BTW love your avatar, one of my favorite comedies of all time.

 

That's the way both parties deflect from their agenda.

As someone who is relatively anti-gay but not extremist, how do you feel the aids issue should be tackled?
Do you really feel like banning gay people from marrying (or buying a cake for that matter) will help?

 

We need another Koop!

 

No I'm not going to post that.
Yes I am.That there would stop AIDS.

 

OK, you said I'm attacking gays and I'm a bigot. The purpose of this thread was to point out how the media doesn't cover anything negative about their favored groups with the other example I pointed out as being Chicago murders.

Also, on one hand it's been said in this thread that people are aware of this problem and my question is how? And do you know what's funny? I even said this story is being buried because it can't be blamed on cons, yet in post 7 someone did just that. When I drive, I see billboards talking about the hazards of taking drugs, drinking, texting, etc, but not one billboard covers the dangers of gay sex. And in post 7 it was cons who were responsible for not having the sex education in schools. What a laugh. Do you think schools would teach the dangers of gay sex? Do you really? And how it is possible that schools can come up with money and programs to have Dress Like A Muslim Day, or all of the other LGBTQQIA2 awareness stuff, and then there's the bathroom issues? It's odd, strangely odd, that all that can come out in schools except the dangers of gay sex and here we are blaming this deafening silence on conservatives and bigotry.

By the way, if you're intolerant of my opinions and conservative views then by definition you are a bigot. Welcome to the club, our meetings are on Thursdays and we've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time.

 

yes, facts are homophobic

- - - Updated - - -

and steeped in homophobia

 

Well I think both parties are stupid, sick of the mud slinging as obviously it creates more problems than helps.

And how am I anti gay when I support gay marriage and anyones personal lifestyle? You really have the wrong person on that.

As far as the aids issue, not much can be done because people gonna screw and be irresponsible about it. My only warning would be is that if you get sick, then it's on you to take care of it yourself and don't expect tax payer dollars to bail you out of something you could have avoided.

But I would also try to raise awareness and put better educational standards towards it to hopefully enlighten more people and help them learn how not to be dumbasses.

 

The often lower social and economic status of young black males makes them more vulnerable to predation by older homosexuals.

Mainly because the Dems only care about gays as voters, not as people that deserve to have decent lives.

The purpose imo is more to bash negligent Dems, that only care about gays as voters and not as people.

 

No, no they can't

 

F**k the HIV/AIDS Epidemic and the never ending "support" for it.

Acting like it was going to kill everyone, Liberals and their media had to go on another one their crusades.

Performers doing their Live Aid/Farm Aid/Band Aid thing. BFD.

The HIV/AIDS Epidemic in the United States

Number of AIDS deaths since beginning of epidemic: 698,219, (that averages only 20,000 since 1981)

http://kff.org/hivaids/fact-sheet/the-hivaids-epidemic-in-the-united-states/

NOW...

But for illnesses that truly deserve more attention (mainly because it affects millions of more people each year) it just doesn't seem to happen.

Take for example Alzheimer's Disease. It is this country's 6th leading cause of death. And what has Hollywood or performers done for this cause?

Every 66 seconds someone in the US will develop the disease. And in 2016 alone, Alzheimer's will cost this country $236 billion. Why doesn't this illness receive the same attention that AIDS got, even though HIV was such a small disease, in comparison to Alzheimer's.

There is still no cure for Alzheimer's. Presently there are 5.4 million affected by it, and increases every year. And an average of 1 in 3 seniors will die of the disease.

This is why I'm p***ed off. More attention still being paid to AIDS, yet so many people know very little about a real medical killer, that affects so many more.

 

True. The gay community is insulted by the Truth, the Truth is homophobic.

 

I really don't think you have your ear to the ground in the gay community. While HIV/AIDS is still a serious problem, compared to it's height we have made great strides in the U.S. At its worst there were over 41000 deaths in a year. In 2013 (the year listed in the CDC report) there were 6955.
I don't know what news you watch/listen but every Monday the ones I watch/listen talk about the gun problems in Chicago.

But you go ahead and blame gays and their "lifestyle".

 

The entire continent of Africa disagrees with you.
But don't you let that stop your bigotry.

 

It surely won't stop most of Africa from doing things like that that spread AIDS.

 

Like I said, follow your source and read the comments

Absolutly, instead of ignoring gay people exist like they do in the south - and guess what, rates are higher there.

Look at new transmission rates by region and compare that to areas under stranglehold of social conservative principles.

I make a mean lasagna, see you then. Maybe we can discuss the misplaced hate towards homosexuals first

 

Infection rates are at an all time low mainly due to the gay community recognizing that they are at the most risk of being infected. The report says nothing that the gay community hasn't recognized for years.

 

Well I didn't know that if you don't hear it, it doesn't happen. If it's not reported on the news, it doesn't happen. If nothing is happening, then why are infection rates going down? It is mostly gay men that get infected right?

 

***It pays to do some research before asking asinine questions***.

And by the way, the private sector can only do so much. I'm sure that organizations such as GLAAD have been pushing the Federal Government to do what it can to promote aids awareness. Even at that, the Federal Government can only do so much. At any rate, educate yourself before making assumptions.

 

No, 1/6th (roughly 17%) of gay men represent 55% of HIV cases; not gay men in general.

The misapplication of statistics, coupled with broad generalizations, are the refuge of propagandists incapable of making an honest argument.
