I know that AIDS kills millions of people every year, but can't we agree that most people who have AIDS got it from their own actions?
I KNOW some children are born with AIDS, and I KNOW a (very) small percentage of people get it from blood transfusions, but most people get it from promiscuous sex and dangerous drugs.

Why are we spending millions of dollars on a disease that has a cure? If everyone did not have sex until they were married, and then only had sex with their wife, the AIDS epidemic would be gone in 2, 3 generations, tops. Why are we spending so much money?

Give me $3 Million dollars. I just found the cure for AIDS. STOP HAVING SEX and STOP USING DRUGS. Can someone explain this to me? The only explanation I can think of is the whole "we are not responsible for our own actions" mentality that has gripped this nation.

I have found this graph:

but it is WAY out of date.

My 16 year old son was just charged with disorderly conduct because him a few friends dressed up like an old man and walked down the sidewalk, pretended like he fell and then ran when someone stopped to check on him. They obviously were just having a little fun and not intending it to "disturb" anyone. It was all in fun. He is not fighting the charge because he realizes now that it wasnt a wise decision. But my question is How is this going to affect him? Will this remain on his permanent record or be deleted off when he turns 18? Will this affect his chances of getting a job or going to college?

This seems to cut across a lot of issues - abortion, same-sex marriage, discrimination in hiring, etc.

For example, racially segregated facilities are (and should be) illegal, but "men only" and "women only" restrooms, locker rooms, barracks, etc. are perfectly legal. Should they be?

I can sue a urologist for refusing to treat me because of my race, but I doubt I could sue an OB/GYN for refusing to treat me because of my gender. Does that bother people?

How would you suggest the law "equalize" the sexes where abortion is concerned? Should it?

Should women be allowed to go topless if men are? But then if that's the rule, could a woman or man sue for a "hostile work environment" if a company sponsors a beach party with topless men and women, as opposed to just "topless" men?

Is banning same-sex marriage similar to banning interracial marriage? Why or why not?

What do you say? Don't try to guess my views; I'm interested in yours!

Americans used to have the freedom to express any opinion anywhere. Now, protesters carrying picket signs are carefully kept away, caged behind wire fences. At a college, SDSU, there used to be notices freely posted everywhere on campus. Now unless they are the offical line of the authorties they can only be posted on one board, supposed to be the free speech outlet for 30,000 students.

America was set up by its founders to be a secular republic, with no mention of anybody's gods in its constitution. James Madison, father of the Constirution and author of the Bill of Rights, was adamant in insisting on complete separation of church and state. But today we see fundie fanatics in the halls of the White House and Congress, trying to coopt our government to push their religious prejudices onto society, promoting the falsehood that America is a Christian nation rather than a nation within which people are free to adopt any religion they choose or none at all.

Return to the founders.

How can we make manufactures that intentionally mislead the public about product safety and effectiveness responsible? Our government spends billions on prescription drugs every year, but are we getting what we payed for? Consumers have been intentionally mislead about dangerous drugs like Zoloft, Rispredal, Ritalin, Vioxx, and Prosac. Even when a drug maker is caught red handed they don't pay out more then a small presentage of profits.

We go to a private school in Switzerland. Anyway, my friend Jan (weird name, i know) was sticking out the finger at the tram and swearing loudly on the tram. He got suspended for it, however, he did not do it on the school grounds. Swiss kids act just as bad, they just don't speak english. when we speak english, everybody knows we're from the international school, and they don't like foreigners. anyway, because Jan was "giving the school a bad name" by acting kinda obnoxious, and he got suspended for 3 days. Is it fair to punish a student for something they did out of school? I don't think it is, nobody thinks it is, but does anybody know like, for sure, like, legally? cuz its really mean and its gonna affect his report card.

So my husband and I had our license plates revoked due to a mistake with insurance. We where told that we needed to contact the NC DMV to get a court date. They will send us a letter telling us when our court date is. Our friend, also in the same situation, just got her letter, and they where given 2 weeks notice. This has me nervous, because we have plans to go out of state(back to our home state) for two weeks over the easter holidays.

So, if they set our court date for while we're out of state, could we reschedule it?

We have paid holidays. We are only paid for the holiday if we come in the day (our scheduled days) before and after the holiday. For example if there is a holiday on Monday we must come in to work Friday and Tuesday or we will not be paid for Monday. Is this a common practice in professional companies?

Are we being manipulated by fear and the words "for your safety and security" in order for the powers at be to gain more information on us?.
ID Cards, DNA samples, Personal details, Security Cameras everywhere, Cell phone Triangulation, the possiblity of black boxes in cars and personal histories can all be requested in order to preserve "our safety and security".

Are we allowing ourselves to be manipulated through fear, or is it justified?.
Why is this Government so intent on monitoring us?.

I say hell no!! Yet if you don't take it ..you get treated like your guilty right? These things are not reliable and with so many corrupt police, can you trust them? I am just aksing this in relation to many cases in the media where if a suspect does not take the test they are assumed guilty. I don't think you can trust these things!!!!! and especially the police or detectives that adminsiter them.
