:lol: Eh can you blame them Jack? The media tells them that if we don’t welcome gays with open arms we are horrable closed minded people, having an oppinion other than the widely accepted PC one is a no no. Hence, anything that would be a negative image of a homosexual is automaticly bad, even if it is true. I don’t agree with homosexuality, I will say it. It is my right to not agree, but by the same token, I am not a hater by any means. I have homosexual friends, I just disagree with their life choice, but it is not up to me to judge. It has been a fact for 20 years that AIDS and HIV spreads through the gay male population the fastest. it is not being prejudice or a biggot or anything…it is just showing the truth through past exposure patterns of the virus.
Thats really all i t comes down to. Public safety. Is it profiling? Yes. Is it unfair? Yes. Are gay men at a MUCH higher risk of contracting HIV then straight men/women. Yes.
Public Health Risks > Being polite and Fear of Hurting Peoples Feelings
I love it when un-educated people(JEG) call me close minded
“It is estimated that the HIV risk from a unit of blood has been reduced to about 1 per 2 million in the USA,”
Why is this even a topic of discussion? Your odds of dieing in a car crash this afternoon are exponentially greater.
Yes I am uneducated :bloated:. You know nothing about me or my education level or anything but hey…thats the NYspeed way…if you disagree with someone…they must be uneducated and stupid.
I just love how a bunch of fucking tools call me ignorant and a gay hater when I have like at least 25 fucking gay friends in Buffalo… al of which are pretty cool. Fucking suburban pussy internet cowboys.
that does not change the fact its discrimination and only closed minded, uneducated assholes actually believe in this policy.
so what, should we only allow middle aged people to drive because young adults and seniors are more likely to get in accidents? or should we execute seniors because they are more likely to get sick and spread it to others? or better yet, should we not allow white suburban meatheads to own muscle cars because they are more likely to be an assclown behind the wheel and hurt someone else in the process?
Exactly.
There are so many other things that are MUCH more dangerous, and risky that are occurring.
This is an incredible non-issue.
so wait…after taking a shot at me like a 5th grader you are now too mature to answer my post? so now your too grownup to lash out so you can feel better about yourself?
If there are statistics posted to back this up then I’d be like.
“Ok”
But there isn’t, just yet.
there will never be accurate statistics on this matter. noone is forced to disclose their sexual preferences for one. and two, there is a good number of people infected with HIV that dont even know it.
ok you fucking cock sucker, if HALF of the people got it from being GAY, then the other HALF were comprised of… NOT GAY? YOU FUCKING IMBECILE?
Have you shared this topic with them? How do they feel about it? Have you polled them on how many have AIDS?
It’s funny, you quote how safe it is now and try to use that as an arguement for making it less safe?
Facts, right from the CDC, as of 2005
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/basic.htm#exposure
452,111 aids cases from male to male contact
168,314 aids cases from injection drug use (these people already can’t donate)
65,881 aids cases from male to male contact and injection drug use (again, not allowed to donate)
61,438 aids cases from high risk heterosexual contact.
13,978 aids cases from “other” (blood transfusion etc)
I’m sorry, as much as I’d love to jump on the Violator hate bandwagon, it’s not homophobic to say that allowing homosexual men to donate blood will increase the risk of aids infected donation blood; it’s simple math.
I let math and statistics guide a lot of my views in life, which is why I’m not PC, I don’t believe in religion, I support profiling and I don’t believe in most phobias.
Guess what though douchebag, most of that other half are already not allowed to donate. Drug use and risky heterosexual activity also get you blocked.
my follow up question to this idiot circus is, how the fuck do they prove you are gay in the first place.
sit down to give blood:
Doctor: “hey man, you a fag?”
dude: “no way”
Doctor: “no seriously, are you gay?”
dude: “no…”
Doctor: “ok lets do this”
great response, douchebag. difference between “gay” and drug users, is there is a fucking proven test, you have drugs in your system, track marks and other items.
Have you ever even given blood, because if you had you’d know the answer. It’s all on the honor system. You sit down and fill out a little questionaire. If your answers make you high risk they turn you away. Since giving blood is voluntary very few people go in and lie on the questionaire.
thats exactly what i’m saying… there is no actual screening, so this really does not change anything, if someone wanted to donate blood they would donate blood, its not like they get “gay tested”
I’d be more worried about catching the gay from the blood than the HIV.
Did someone say HOMO…wheres walter?
