Today is global AIDS day. See this is when the heads of our countries talk about what they are going to decide to do about the AIDS epidemic. This is what live 8 was about, to convince the 8 people to make a choice on this day. I thought I'd tell everyone because there are some people I know that don't know.

Well. That's ironic, as I heard on the radio this morning that the Catholic church has banned the use of condoms.
It's things like that that make me doubt my religion. Ridiculous.

Well, yes, they can't very well ban them period. Contraceptivesd in general aren't allowed as they're interfering with God's plan and whatnot

^ thats pretty silly, cause people can like go behind their backs and use condoms and such........whoever thought to ban them is not very smart...because its obviously not going to work very well....

Well, it's not that kind of ban. That's completely besides the point, too, as you can't very well hide things from God.

Yeah, they made an announcement in my school and there was table with information about AIDS, and they were giving out the ribbons. They even said to practice safe sex and that there were condoms available in the nurse's office.

Yep, for sure. We were handing out and signing AIDS petition forms to make sure everyone was aware of this horrible epidemic. A lot of people wore red ribbons, I wore my AIDS bracelet.

Whatever? What the hell do you mean by whatever?! That AIDS isn't important enough of an issue for you to focus your attention on for one day? How ignorant.
Anyway. #115,289. Keep clickin', people!

I think we need awareness day awareness days, because my school fails to inform us of anything that isn't football related. or basketball now, i suppose, since football's over and the basketball team is actually good...oh, but i stray from the point

We had this discussion in English class about AIDs a few days ago.
It's shocking... there are thousands of millions of AIDs patients around the globe, and some of them are still being discriminated against.

i saw this thread yesterday, but never responded. id found out it was world aids day when i was looking for holidays for my friend making a calender in one of her computer classes.
its nice we at least have a day dedicated to it, but i really think people should try to do more to help the cause. not saying they arent trying now, but getting more people involved may help find a cure.
