If you aren't ashamed of your opinion, put your name behind it. <BR/><BR/>Second, HIV/AIDS is so complicated by issues of class, race, educational level and, above all, shame. I have campers whose parents won't let them tell anyone what disease they have because of the shame associated with the disease. Do these kids get all the services they need to prevent re-transmission? No. Do their mothers? No. <BR/><BR/>Who amongst us has not made a mistake? Who doesn't at least have a friend that had a drunken one night stand? Just because a choice might not be ideal, doesn't mean someone deserves a death sentence for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635069.post-1133464073681051102005-12-01T13:07:00.000-06:002005-12-01T13:07:00.000-06:00How about a little personal responisbility too?? ...How about a little personal responisbility too?? I'm all for educating. It's what I do. But how about people facing consequences for immorality? No need to bail everyone out of every situation they create for themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635069.post-1133463354641505052005-12-01T12:55:00.000-06:002005-12-01T12:55:00.000-06:00You do realize the fallacy of your argument, corre...You do realize the fallacy of your argument, correct?<BR/><BR/>Since children screw up their teeth by not brushing and eating too much candy, we should probably get rid of National Children's Dental Health Month in February. <BR/><BR/>And anorexics certainly destroy their own lives with their disorder, so why don't we just knock National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (the last in Feb) off of the calendar.<BR/><BR/>And people daily choose not to follow God and live into the ressurrection, so . . . I don't know . . . maybe Sundays are pointless, too!<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your reading this blog, and I hope you understand that we celebrate days to be aware, educate and help. And does it really matter HOW it is contracted? It's wiping people off the face of this earth. We must face that.Cionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035368818717712542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635069.post-1133454665820936592005-12-01T10:31:00.000-06:002005-12-01T10:31:00.000-06:00You do realize that HIV/AIDS is a completley PREVE...You do realize that HIV/AIDS is a completley PREVENTABLE disease, correct?? Unprotected sex and IV drug use are choices people make (except on the rarest of occasions). I don't understand why a "World AIDS Day" is necessary for something that is completely preventable. Why not a "World Common Cold Day"??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
