    I have friends who are freshmen in highschool who are studying Latin. Believe it or not, a lot of people who study ancient history know how to read ancient languages. Shocker I know.

    I am currently working on my Masters degree. Also, you should not try to insult someone with a degree from a University if you haven't even finished High School.

    Also, noone "speaks" Ancient Greek or Latin. There are no natural speakers left, the language is verbally extinct. BUT! Almost all sources from ancient times are in either one, with most sources for the middle ages also written in Latin (allthough altered a bit). So for an historian, beeing able to read and translate those is a MUST.

    Again, I know you are only 13. BUT PLEASE, read up before you post things. It is really hard for me not to facepalm everytime you embarass yourself when posting that kind of stuff....

    Good for you.
    Actually some do, I have met a couple whom have. I have met with some professors from The Ohio State University about this topic.
    I like the maturity of you. I do read before I post. I read about history from various sites everyday before school. I know what I am talking about. I have begun to learn to translate Latin and German into English.


    I am not going to argue with someone who can't even spell a simple word like *although* or *being*.

    What does this have to do with anything going on in this thread? And is it really your problem if he can't talk ancient Greek?

    Just cause I disagree with you doesn't make my opinion bullcrap.
    Because I was pointing out that you were wrong and that many things are given out for free to people. That doesn't mean a significant amount of people have access to them.
    That's why we have spellcheck....And here is everything spelled in German,Italian, and Polish.

    Well, many humans have oral sex. Many humans also kiss, which can possibly transfer HIV.
    If preventing sex in the first place doesn't work, what makes you think that preventing condoms does work? You haven't provided me with any evidence whatsoever that anyone has been infected with HIV because of this law the pope has set out. Even GOC, who considers himself a devout Catholic, does not agree with the pope on everything, and hes only 13, he doesn't really have much chance to think for himself right now.

    Kissing cannot spread HIV.

    Deep or open-mouthed kissing is a very low risk activity in terms of HIV transmission. HIV is only present in saliva in very minute amounts, insufficient to cause infection with HIV.
    There has been only one documented case of someone becoming infected with HIV through kissing; a result of exposure to infected blood during open-mouthed kissing. If you or your partner have blood in your mouth, you should avoid kissing until the bleeding stops.

    source http://www.avert.org/hiv-aids-transmission.htm

    Kissing can spread HIV. Check before you post.

    Of course if you are bleeding you can spread HIV.

    Anyways, the information I had was given by someone who actually had HIV.

    Those transfer HIV. I was not wrong, it can be transferred by kissing, but that is very very rare.
    So, don't bite your partner during kissing if he/she has AIDS ;)
    Having a disease doesn't mean you automatically know about it. And what do you mean by "had"? You don't recover from HIV. If they had it then they still have it.

    You diasagrre with factual evidence, not only with me. Its like having the opinion that gravity does not exists.... stupid!

    Try to be funny: failed!

    Wrong. Even the institution that you want to work for reported only one (or two) case is found were kissing was the reason for the transfer AND ONLY because both had bleeding wounds in their mouths. Read it up, the HIV Virus needs immediate access to the bloodstream, or it will die in minutes. Again: stop talking out of your ass.

    Because condoms prevent the transfer of body fluids.... do you really understand how it is spread? Condoms DO prevent the spread of HIV

    And as an ex-catholic, I know that he is in fact NOT a devout catholic if he denies the Pope's claim of beeing Gods speaker on earth. Everything that the Pope says, is the word of God according to catholicism. If he disagrees with the Pope he is not a catholic.

    He insulted me for "only" having a BA while he didn't even had his first erection yet.... please. If he wants to scold me for not having a MA (yet) he can do it if he has one. But since he is a child that hasn't seen anything in life, he should stop it.

    I haven't seen any relevant facts or sources supporting what you are trying to say.
    I stated the fact that oral sex and kissing can spread HIV.
    You didn't get my post at all. I asked that if the pope cannot stop people from having pre-marital sex, then how is he to stop people from using condoms?
    Then there are a lot less Catholics in the world then the statistics that supported your argument say.

    I gave a link where it was stated by a neutral source. If I do the work and give you sources, something you didn't even try for your positions, then FUCKING READ IT!

    A freaking High Five can spread HIV if both parties have a bleeding wound on their palms. Concentrate on the matter, not on something you pull out of your ass to "refute" what I am saying, because it doesn't.

    And I explained that the urge to have sex can not be opressed even by religion. The use of a rubber tool CAN and IS opressed, as stated in various sources I quoted for you over the last two days.
    Now, If you don't want to believe it, don't do it. I am tired of discussing everything over and over again while you do not even read the sources I give. The only thing you do, is twist every word that might not be choosen 100% correctly (again, I am having a lengthy discussion in a foreign language) in the right way, and try to get the argument away frim the, again, well quoted fact that condoms DO protect from the spread of HIV and that the Pope forbids his followers to use them.

    In the Western world, yes. However not in the poorest countries of the world, as a source I gave you yesterday allready told. IF you would have read it.

    Talking in circles with you, over and over again. This is truly tiresome....
