AIDS in Africa Options

[onenonly101]

\so you can speak for EVERY part of africa and EVERY tribe right?

I don't recall saying i did. And for future reference it is ETHNIC groups not tribes. I am Ibo, one of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria, but there are also the Youroba, Hausa, and other groups.

That's what I mean when I said that their laws are different then ours. We cannot do much to help if we do not have the law on our side.

Exactly alot of people do not understand that you cannot impose i guess i would say your rules and views, when the country is ruled entirely different.

the problem in africa about aids is the myths. because they heard that if older guys rape younger girls, aids would be cured. but that's a false myth, and its spreading aids everywhere. i think ppl should hire teachers to go to africa and inform this

they have 12 year olds left as the head of the household, working to support their siblings, becuase their parents have died of aids and they will too.

Those were the two I was talking about. The second one not so much as a myth but as only a percentage of situations.

Like big whatever said i don't know every country, and Nigeria doesn't have an AIDS epidemic but i do know stuff about the government and ways it gets in the way of helping their citizens

[bigpoppaproppy]

n/m, i thought you were referring to what I said

[Mini]

yeah, its really sad, 4 year old girls are getting raped because most AID carriers think that having sex with a virgin would cure AIDS...that's so disgusting yet its true.

isnt Bill Gates and Oprah trying to help this? i heard it somewhere on the Oprah show.

We should blockade off Africa, and kill all the people with AIDS to stop the spread of the virus.

Actually, we don't really need to kill them. They're doing a pretty good job of killing themselves at this point.

somehow i dont see the humor in that ....o im sorry maybe because it was rude

[ComradeRed]

Rude and funny are not mutually exclusive. Some of the funniest stuff is the most offensive. www.theonion.com

it is rude but if u know his personality...that's so him it makes me laugh.

and also a viable option for an extreme case

if one day a virus comes like AIDS< and begins spreading rapidly and nthreatens the world with 48-72 hour death after contact, the best option is to exterminate the virus by isolating hosts and letting them die

He's entitled to his own opinion.. besides it livens up the debate.. makes it less.. serious.. I like it

Isnt that what they did during the Black Death? Isolating them and stuff..

[onenonly101]

I don't think what he says ever lightens up a debate. ifn you hadn't noticed whenever he says something it causes more strife. And I don't think killing people is funny. You can say all you want about it ebing a joke, but it doesn't change the context it was said in.

That wouldn't stop the spread. Because there are millions of American sufferring with AIDS and would like to travel to countries in Africa and then have sex with someone there spreading the disease

Now, now...if this was happening in your country, I bet you, you'd lash out in a second. Am I right? Thought so. Death is not funny. Okay? Okay. =)

Like I said before, AIDS is everywhere, so can't make about the Africans can ya, `cuz you have to talk about the Europeans who have it, the Asians who have it, the South Americans who have it... everyone. Because it's not just happening in Africa. We have to educate everyone, whether they don't want to know or not. It should be manditory. Because they may seem like they don't care, but next time they have sex, what you taught them will be on their mind, whether they want to admit it or not. Also..like I said before, condoms should be free, because some people like to have sex...alot. And it really goes into their pockets if you add up the expenses of just condoms. So, if they were free they would have one less reason on safe sex. Another is abstinance. People need to learn how to say no, because it's killing them. (>< Sorry guys, It's 11am...I'm not awake yet.)

not to be mean to the people in africa with AIDS but do you know how many people die of cancer every year? and AIDs is too hard to kill, the bacteria that causes AIDs is constantly morphing. but with cancer, so many people die of cancer, and i dont see a cure yet... and dont you think we should concentrate on helping ourselves first. i know for a lot of countries the US is what helps them and in a lot of ways is a savior for them, but with all the people dying in our country, i think we should concentrate on helping ourselves first, i dont think that is very selfish. [and then you have those asses that say the US always butts into everyone elses business] also, to make our jobs a little easier, everyone [as in all races] could think more before they have sex with someone.

Yes, we should definitely help ourselves first, once we eradicate it and fix it within our country, then we can help others..

Oh and you think cancer's easier to cure than AIDS? you can prevent getting AIDS, you cant prevent getting cancer

Do you know anyone from America that travels to Africa just to have sex with someone? Isn't that illegal or something? It should be.

[EmeraldKnight]

That would be an excessive waste of airfare..

[ComradeRed]

Seriously, you can get a legal prostitute without AIDS for much less money in Nevada.

[Spirited Away]

Seriously, you can get a legal prostitute without AIDS for much less money in Nevada.

And you would know this... how?

[EmeraldKnight]

And you would know this... how?

Haha, looks like you're stuck Minda

lol well seeing as how a plane ride to Africa costs at least a thousand dollars (I think..), that's a pretty big amount.. do prostitutes cost that much Minda?

I didn't say that that was their man focus on going there.

Yeah Emarld the cheapest ticket you'll find to Nigeria is about 1300 and that is if you get the ticket in like January and you aren't going till December. We booked our flight to Nigeria last week for 1717 a person(there is seven of us) and we aren't going until Christmas

Wow.... that is a lot..

[sweetxsimplicity]

nope. About 60 percent of the people in africa have AIDS, about 6 percent of the people in US have AIDS.

[EmeraldKnight]

nope. About 60 percent of the people in africa have AIDS, about 6 percent of the people in US have AIDS.

But think of all the resources it would take for us to help them.. like has already been previously stated.. because there's no current cure for AIDS, we can onli educate people to prevent the spread, but the education alone isnt enough.. gah.. I can't say it write.. uninspiredfae said it the best:

When people live by the same laws or traditions for centuries, it takes time and a great deal of persuation to make changes.

If we educate one woman, and she comes home to her husband, who is still ignorant, that education has gone to waste. Or if you educate the woman, but she gets raped.

So, in such a society, not only do we need to educate its people, but we also need to protect the educated, something that is completely out of our jurisdiction as their laws are different than ours.

In addition, Aids is a world wide problem. In my opinion, the US and other countries has helped enough. We cannot help those who do not wish to help themselves.

i aqree with u mini... i think they shud teach those african students to stop raping... so the aids can be over... i think the aids are increasing in africa...so i think about 20 or more tutors shud go there and teach them to stop... and wat AID can do... if they dont accept it...let them die then... i know im being harsh... but dont they want to live?
