[Simriel]

OH NOES! THEY PLAN TO CURE ME!!!!!!!! HOW DID HE KNOW!!!!
(okay my claims are getting really silly)

That's the best news I've heard all day.

Don't celebrate yet. Soon AIDS may no longer be a problem, but there is always the threat of super AIDS.

Yes, we must be ever alert for the Super AIDS.

 

[Lios]

Wow, this is actually quite amazing. I don't even feel any skepticism of this, and that rarely happens.

Really most STD's such as HIV could have completely been avoided in America if people decided that they wouldn't screw around with people older then them. Just one generation decide that maybe i could try getting a partner from my own age group.

Good point. We could also avoid any gastrointestinal issues if people never ate anything, and no one would ever suffocate if we could all just agree to stop breathing! Brilliant!

Last time i checked there was a near equal ratio of men to women born each year, in America, not China there would be more than enough women that you could try hitting on and never get. Do you really think that you need to have sex with that 40 year old cougar really. Or the girl that is a complete nympho, I'm sure she could find at least a couple guys her own age. I'm not going to put a mate for life thing on here, but its not like people will die if they don't have sex with their parent's generation.

Quite. dmase has chosen the most obscure possible cause for the spread of AIDS. It almost makes me wonder how long ago some girl he had a crush on ditched him for an older guy. He doth protest too much and all that.

Dubbed "junk DNA," these fragments were long ago rendered useless during the normal course of human evolution, for reasons ranging from the theoretical inefficiency of humans with giant bat wings to simple mutations in the way our cells process energy.

HURRAY I'M IMMUNE TO HIV
THANKS DOC FOR THE GIANT BAT WINGS AND SALIVA INFESTED WITH SWINE FLU
THE NEWS SAYS ALL THE BETA HUMANS WILL BE EXTINCT ANY DAY NOW
WE'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO CLEAR OUT THE GHETTO AND BUILD OUR NEW GENETIC ENGINEERING PLANT
THREE CHEERS FOR PROGRESS

in b4 Gattica/Bioshock level paranoia

I am! And yes, yes they were.

 

[zoozilla]

I forsee many stupid people having lots of sex after hearing this news and paying dearly for it afterward.

Ga Latex you have bested me again. Sorry never been dropped for a older guy, younger yes and then she realized she made a huge mistake and came running back. I'm almost possitive that sex is the major contributor in the spread of HIV in America. Eithiopia I'm sure that sex isn't the leading cause. I guess a better strategy would be to not have sex with random strangers but especially with HIV you wouldn't know for possibly years after you getting infected, symptoms i mean. So you could have been in a relationship with someone for 2 years get married and on your wedding night have sex for the first time and find out later that they have HIV. How do you know. Anyways, I wouldn't follow my own advice in the first place except the random strangers thing, that seems more common sense.

well it WAS real. but i ate it all. i saved your piece though. you have 5 minutes to claim it before it becomes fair game for someone else.
