[regarding HIV/Aids]
If you're serious about stopping the spread of a communicable disease, you make damn sure the people trying to spread it CAN'T.
It's called quarantine. And when that's enacted, it doesn't matter whose business it is. You do what you're told, or you're in for one hell of a ride.
[Argonaut22j: No, there are lots of ways to deal with diseases that are serious.]
Yes, of course, there are so many ways to deal with incurable, absolutely fatal, communicable diseases.
1. Quarantine.
What other's can you come up with? Prayer? Happy thoughts? Foul language? Self-stimulation? Post-cards from the edge?

Letting them know how the disease is spread and letting them take it upon themselves to not do so? This disease is spread only through exposure to their bodily fluids, not through physical contact with them or through airborne agents. It isn't a scenario that requires them to be quarantined.
Quarantine is for airborne diseases, asshole. Doesn't work so well for sexually transmitted ones, since casual contact doesn't fucking matter.
Besides, people with HIV, like other people, have rights, you cock muncher.
How do you justify quarantining and executing innocent children? People who got the disease from tainted blood products meant to save their lives?
I know your bigoted mind justifies it for those who obtained the disease through sex with someone of the same sex, but what about the woman who obtained it from a cheating husband, or vice versa?
If you feel justified in quarantining and executing victims of a horrendous disease, you'll fully understand my justification for wanting to quarantine and execute asshats like you, right?

That being said, never quote Kirk with this kinda thing mmkay. You're not worthy.
Is this some kind of weird star trek fundie?
Not everything Kirk says is correct, silly. In fact, Kirk was a douche.
Seriously.

Does terminal stupidity fall into this category? If so I believe it would be you who is in for "one hell of a ride."
I wish people would understand, for once...FUNDIES DON'T HAVE TO BE RELIGIOUS! CRAZY, I KNOW, HUH. A fundamentalist can be of any religion or ideology. This site has had fundies of all religions, and even ATHEIST fundies, or secular fundies. Read the FAQ-it defines what "fundie" means.
Also, stmk0: Jackass.
So much for "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"...
Oh right, that only applies to fundamentalist cross-tians.
In the first book of the "Angelwalk" trilogy by Roger Elwood, he has one of the characters, a christian who's about to go to heaven, mention that it was "madness" to NOT quarantine people who had HIV/AIDS.
The angel replies that they'd find heaven to be very quarantined, indeed.
Christians seem to like this book series, so it seems that on some level, quarantining people with HIV/AIDS does appeal to at least some of them (even though this poster is not a christian himself)
The Kirk quote is way out of context. The situation was completely different. More akin to a natural disaster than to an epidemic.
And he changed his mind by the end of the movie anyway.
Set phasers to Epic Fail.
So when I get a cold sore outbreakprobably about ten times easier to transmit than HIVI should be quarantined as well? Rather than, y'know just having the common sense to not stick my mouth on everything, jut like people with aids could use common sense to not squirt their bodily fluids on everything.
Yeah, forget trying to CURE them, let's just quarantine them from civilized society, or just kill 'em off. While we're at it, let me just poke you with this random needle and see if you're still willing to consider the "take one for the team" mentality.

SICK ASSHOLE. Maybe we should 'quarantine' fundy Christians & let them practice their hate-filled beliefs solely in their compound. It would keep them from spreading their diseases of hatred & bigotry.
The "Kirk Initiative" only weakens the argument, since Kirk is supposed to be the designated bigot for saying that (of course, because of the whole "Klingon bastards killed my son" thread, his hated is made more acceptable) Still, the Klingons were originally supposed to be the USSR IN SPAAAACE!, and with glasonost, it was no longer really appropriate to hate them unreasonably.
FUCK YOU, BASTARDFUCKSHIYHEADASSHOLE!
Don't you dare slap the name of the brilliant and noble Captain James Tiberius Kirk on your sick plans!
And don't you dare compare AIDS/HIV sufferers to Klingons!
Get out of my fandom, you worthless turd.
1) Comprehensive, competently-taught sex education, to make certain as many people as possible KNEW where disease comes from and how it can be prevented--abstinence, barriers, and sexual hygiene.
2) easy access to barrier methods of contraception and disease prevention. Condoms don't *eliminate* it, but they greatly reduce it if *consistently used properly.*
3) Continue throwing time, effort and funding into a fucking working, effective vaccine for HIV. Since we've got experimental vaccines in the pipeline with a roughly 39-40% prvention rate, we're at least making some progress in that direction.
4) Repeat steps 1-3.
I like my ideas better than I like yours.
Information, education, distribute means to protect from the disease, massive research to find cures.
Did you really not think of any of those things?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
