Same-sex marriage could curb HIV - Polidicks

"Use these condoms to increase the chances of contraception with a sense of false security"

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;26401152]I know how's about we teach safe sex in schools???[/QUOTE] How about just showing these kids pictures of what happens to people with an STD. Much better than just 'telling' them about it. They don't even listen to begin with.

[QUOTE=z0nk3d;26402296]It isn't ? It's the case in France so I thought it was also the case in the US. (well in france they tell you everything you should now about sex. You already know everything about the girl even before getting laid :smug:)[/QUOTE] American conservative Christians believe that the school has no right to teach things that the parents are responsible for. They also do not want children learning about homosexuality at a young age.

Actually anal sex can be even cleaner than vaginal sex if enema is performed aka cleaning your anus and intestines. [url]https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Enema[/url]

I knew it. This is how the book "The Forever War" solved overpopulation. IT'S HAPPENING GET YOUR TINFOIL HATS

[QUOTE=TailsPrower;26404818]American conservative Christians believe that the school has no right to teach things that the parents are responsible for. They also do not want children learning about homosexuality at a young age.[/QUOTE] The only thing we learnt about homosexuality back at school was "Anal hurts. Seriously." [editline]30th November 2010[/editline] Along with some facts about homosexuality, beginning with the good old question "why the hell do people do this ?". And, as surprising as it can appear to be, just asking and answering this question erased all kind of discrimination against gays in most of the class of the school I was in.

This is great news, hopefully more and more will use their heads and not go "Ewww butt sex is icky ban it" [QUOTE=not_Morph53;26375344]You know what would really curb HIV? Finding a cure, not wasting energy suppressing someone else's rights.[/QUOTE] Too little money for business's in the long run means no one will do it, plus, you can't cure it, at least not these days. Too costly, not financially beneficial. (I would love for it to be cured, but do you think big companies give a doodee about a cure if it can't make long term profit?)

Even if by some weird stretch they wouldn't recoup their losses and then some with just the sales of the drug (unlikely), the marketing you could do with it is priceless. If you ran a biotech/pharma company, would you pass up the chance to advertise as "The company that cured HIV"?

I probably would try curing it then. I was thinking simply in financial means, if I wanted a company, I'd be a bit greedy about it.
