Why do so many Africans have AIDS?

why should they be blamed

I thought the point was to help.

And implementing crude western promotion campaigns (even when not done in large scale) are, logically, inefective to people of other cultures. doh

Laz, no kidding. No Kinshasa highway, no aids? How the heck did it...or was it "brought out of the jungle"?

Tass, how many people in Russia w/ aids? Any idea? Do they get meds?

Dino ssshhhh.

Allegendly Aids derives from a certain species of monkies.
A theory which requires a rather disgusting intercourse having taken place to have the virus passed on to the human species.

It does not require people to have sex with monekys. This shows a major lak of imagination upon your part. There is nothing alleged about HIV having come from other primates. HIV II is identical to Simian Inmunodeficiancy Virus, and HIV I is identical to a a virus found in green monkeys.

How did they get transmitted to humans? Easy, bush meat. Monkeys and chimps are food animals, and it's very easy to accidentally get infected material in a cut. Once introduced into new organisms which don't have defenses against the virus it begins to spread. Once it reaches a certain critical mass, it explodes.

which means that the ones who have failed are those who tried to help, ineffectively

Caligastia, I don't recall seeing rubbers for sale in the Phils. I doubt people in Bangla Desh, China, or India can afford them...yet we're not bailing them out...

Which is probably a good thing. So far "bailing out" Africa has proved to be a bottomless money pit.

Che, yeah but that isnt as funny as what I said, is it?
It's called attempts at humour, no need to be so pendadic about it.

Plus somebody could also have bonked a monkey.

It's entirely Africa's fault. Super-macho cultures which denigrate the use of condomns and which stree the manliness of having multiple female partners coupled with the widespread use of bushmeat is what started and spread the disease.

If they'd followed the family planning models given them, used the damn condomns, and stopped destroying their environment, this wouldn't be a problem.

Green monkeys are too small and chimps are four times stronger than humans. They have the ability to rip your arm off. Ain't no one but a chimp bonking a chimp.

Need I remind you how the AIDS virus is transmitted in the majority of cases?

I thought the point was to help.

How do you help those who are unwilling to help themselves?

And implementing crude western promotion campaigns (even when not done in large scale) are, logically, inefective to people of other cultures. doh

What makes them "crude", specifically? There you go again, blaming the westerners.

SOMEBODY ****ED A MONKEY?!?!


Uggg...that's disgusting. Yuck...ohhh man....

[Bereta_Eder]

of course caligastia.
They are unable to help and have proven it.

If the Africans already used condoms they wouldnt have it so bad, thats why some people went there to help, and failed to do so

Now you know how we feel about arguing with you.
