Religion in American society

Why's that, though? I know I'm late, but I know how to translate Latin myself, and I haven't had any history classes since I was...I think 14 or 15.

Oh, right, it was just a petty attempt at ad hominem, never mind then.

I'm forever grateful.

Charles Barkley had HIV and to my knowledge, he no longer has it.

Did you ever think for a person living in Germany their spell check might be I don't know, for German words?

As far as I know, there's only medicine that stops HIV from working. It's still in you, but it does nothing as long as you take the medicine.

Actually, there are plenty of browser plugins with translations. I have one with British spelling, but it doesn't work perfectly. While it's okay that it counts American spelling as wrong (as it's checking for British spelling), it does count words like eachother wrong, which I think is a correctly spelled word anyway. Oh well...

Where, I don't see any sources here.

HIV is a sexually transmitted disease. Comparing high fives to oral sex or kissing has no relevance. And also, its very unlikely for both parties to happen to high five each other while they both have bleeding wounds, and for those wounds to happen to come into contact long enough for HIV to jump from one wound to the other.

One thing you seem to not realize. These people aren't being forced to be Catholic, not even close. They are making a conscious choice to be a Catholic and not to use condoms.

I never refuted either of those facts. No one did. But blaming the pope because his followers choose to endanger themselves for their beliefs is like blaming Ghandi for the fact that some of his followers died in protests.

Except for one important thing, these "Catholics" in African countries are not getting the same information of the pope's policies as westerners are. Its safe to say some Africans in remote villages don't even know the pope forbids the use of condoms, and they might not even know condoms exist. That is the nature of 3rd world countries. It is not the pope's fault.

There is no medicine or cure for it. There are different medicines that can prevent infections from taking advantage of the fact that you no longer have an immune system, but we can't get rid of or halt the progress of HIV altogether. Viruses cannot be cured, just contained, and in the case of HIV only millionaires can afford to contain it.

"Eachother" is still wrong in America.

Wait, that medicine I mentioned was for AIDS itself, then?

So it's two words regardless of spelling rules? Hmm, then I don't know why I thought it was a single word...

I know what you mean, I always think it's spelled like that.

Gotta love English and its irregularity.

No, neither AIDS nor HIV is curable. We are able to slow down the disease, and we can try and keep the virus from actually giving you AIDS. But no virus is curable, and AIDS has an almost one hundred percent mortality rate.

Make that 99.9% mortality rate.


Anyway, I think we are close to finding a cure to AIDS.

I know there's no cure, I never said there was. I was referring to the slowing down of it, I couldn't describe it very well, though.

Oh lovely, again this no-alerts glitch. Oh well, I didn't miss anything important apparently. Yo Mustachio, I'm pretty sure that people says you are a douchebag because of "hurr durr I'm right, here are my sources, your sources sux you are so stupid!"

Was this the lady who kicked you in the crotch?

What ?, Don't tell me you,ve never thought about beating the crap out of anyone who's fucked with you in your life before, Or that you,ve never wanted to sleep in, Or simply tell some annoying catholic that spewing fire and brimstone at everyone makes him look like a idiot, Every religion, even the Agnostics,Deists and what not have reasons to be assholes man, Hell even economic systems like communism gives people reasons to be assholes (Overthrowing the Bourgeoisie through a glorious worker revolution anyone ?,You know the Communist manifesto) , The only thing is though is people really don't give enough of a fuck to go along with it, If you ever met a christian who follows the bible exactly how it was, You,d think he was pyscho, because what sort of christian does that ? Follow his belief system to the fullest, Or the communist that really wants full blown communism, pssst pyscho assholes eh ?.

Yeah my grammar sucks I know, but that's why im typing on here hopefully I,ll get better.

Kali will be very offended by your comments towards communism.

How in the world does agnosticism give you the ability to be an asshole?

Well its like athiesism in a way, Except it goes more like this God might exist ! But the almighty creator/Creators have to prove to me their very existance Or I don't give two fucks about them, And they don't exist !, they kinda act like the gods have to take their time to prove to them that they exist.

That doesn't really make much sense.

I'm sure there are agnostics who feel superior for taking the most rational route on the matter.

Well think of it like this, Some guy in the middle of no where who compared to a * God * is pretty much nothing on a scale of power basically walks around all day going, Prove to me you exist ! Out of all the millions of people on earth that follow you, You must show me proof and evidence of your existance !, Ain't that a little self centered to be thinking that a almighty * God * must have to show you personally that he exists ?, Even though his *Prophets* and *People* preach about him and such

That sounds a lot more like atheism than agnosticism, though.

Still, I think Sly said that no religion/philosophy of life/whatever gives you the right to be, and I quote, an asshole.
