    Your dishonest argument is noted lol

    So according to your argument, sickle cell anemia is not a black persons disease right?

    I think you guys need to chill and explain what you mean (insert descriptor here) disease means. Clearly you don't have a meeting of the minds as to what that is and are just arguing semantics at this point.

    Biological facts are dishonest? Lol

    If you want to be factually accurate? No it isn't.


    Ok. So science supports a genetic component.

    they have shown with wolves bread generation over generation with less violent wolves that they become gentler and kinder... so I would say partially it is

    what was odd about the study, is as they kept doing this breading, their appearance changed to less violent looking too, an unexpected result

    Who hasn't.



    I've never seen a group of apes walking in groups dressed in rainbow chaps alongside penis floats.
    Well... I mean actual apes.

    So what? Are free persons not allowed to take actions which come with risks? I'd wager 100% of skydiving deaths come from people who jump out of airplanes, are you willing to use that statistic to rail against skydiving, call it immoral, and attempt to ban it, or are those persons who jump out of an airplane knowing full well that if their equipment fails it's likely going to cause their instantaneous death (which even AIDS doesn't do, these days it's more of a chronic condition and last I heard it seems like we're quite close to an outright cure) allowed to take that risk on for themselves?

    Read the thread. Its not about personal responsibility, its about the fact that AIDS is a gay disease. If a person is not having sex with a gay or bi man (the #1 means of transmission), and is not sharing needles (IV drug use), then the chance of getting HIV/AIDS is about zero.

    Yes, and not jumping out of a perfectly good airplane reduces your chances of dying in a skydiving accident by 100%. So what?

    So you're comparing gays to animals?

    I just stated I have never seen them loud and proud.
