BTW, who is this guy in Louisianna (sp?) you're sending buffered messages

 1:Yes, the prison inmate in Louisiana....you are correct.  He writes and asks 
 2:for 'buffer' messages as he can't find anything 'intelligent' to read in the

OK.  If you're in it for the joy of making Daryl uncomfortable,
so be it; I've got no problem with that.  But I thought you were
interested in enlightenment.  Whatever.

"...but the reason AIDS got started and continues is because of what Gays 
'do'??!! Right?"
Wrong.
This is exactly the type of homophobic response that these people are upset
about.  AIDS happened to get to the US through the gay community but it is
NOT a gay disease.  AIDS is transmitted through blood and semen and you can
get it through any type of intercourse, even in the missionary position.  As
previously stated, in Africa the disease is spreading in great numbers
THROUGH HETROSEXUAL contact.  And about being normal.  Most women I have
talked to (good friends of course) tell me that they perform fellatio on
their boyfriends, lovers, husbands.  And some women do engage in anal sex.
The only difference is that it is a man and woman in love having sex rather
than two men.

Watch Channel 10 tonight, at 10p.m., you might get a quick glance of me at
the demonstration in front of the courthouse.  I'm the one holding the sign
that reads "Self Defence is a Civil Right".  Anyway, you might actually
learn a little more about the Ronnie Barlow case, too.

Later, all...

I believe that the gays have a legitimate beef against the stupid
cartoon that Stantis had in the paper. If we are so stupid to think
that AIDS is a gay problem, just look at Africa where AIDS is a 
heterosexual problem. Our kids just entering their sexually active
years are at great risk.

Thanks for the info, Michael.  I suspected it might be France-Soir that
got it wrong.  It looks like the kind of paper that wouldn't be averse
to editing a story slightly to enhance the "human interest" angle.

I thought there was a theory that the first AIDS infections in humans
came from contact with some species of monkeys in Africa.  Whether they
were gay monkeys or not, I have no idea...

"Homophobic" Means fear of mankind.
 
That word is used (abused) by the gays when they hear something they
have no valid or reasonable response to. Anyone who mentions their
opinion is in anyway the slightest anti gay, they're automatically
a HOMOPHOBE. 
People have a right to their opinions, fear of losing grounds for
holding an opinion is openly stupid. That's why the word was brought
up..to avoid facing difficult questions posed by thinking people.
 
The LEMON effect is self evident. I think the Cartoon illustrates an
important point. That is, if the Gays know promiscuity promotes AIDS
and they're **oh so concerned** about spreading the disease....
instead of whining at other people to solve their dilemma, STOP
the DILEMMA themselves. Abstinence is better than absence.
The latter meaning total, irrevocable abscence from living.
 
They have a fool-proof method to stop from getting the disease.
My opinion is that they should SHUT UP ALREADY.
 
And cease and desist from porking strangers.

Same plot to the cartoon, only we'll change the topic.
 
Two guys, armed to the teeth, walk into a bank while one of them
is commenting on that they think the Govenor should increase
police protection in order to prevent more crimes....
 
Same principal. Only there's a percentage of you out there who
have selective reading and get emotionally stirred up if its a topic
covering one of your sacred cows.
 
I can't beleive there's idiots out there who think the Government
should be responsible for being a cure to every stupid, brain-dead
and festering social cancer.  But that's not true....i **DO** beleive
it because some of you think like that. You post messages touting
that kind of mentality.  The GOVERNMENT should do it.... the GOVERNMENT
should do it....  cradle to grave. There's even some who'll espouse
this philosphy and then turn around and shrivel up snivelling how
poor they are because of the oh-so-tremendous tax burden on them.

Well, apparently (x^2 + 1)^-1/2 - x^2(x^2 + 1)^-3/2 can be simplified
to (x^2 + 1)^-3/2 .  Would someone care to explain this simply?

Re: "AIDS happened to get to the US through the gay community but it is not
a gay disease"! Then why is it prevalent through the gay's? I guess I'm
confused. I know that hetrosexuals can get it, but why isn't it running as
rampant through them? I have assumed it came from anal sex basically and if
hetrosexuals engaged in this as much as the gays, it'd would be just as high
among them. Right? 
Please do not get your dander up in assuming I am against gays - I am not!
To each his own where sex is concerned. But if they continue with that sort
of sexual practice and promiscuity, then it will be basically a gay's
disease! Any person not showing some kind of restraint re: their sexual
practices will end up with something, if not AIDS!

See my previous post to Melissa.
Why do you think the gays have a legitimate beef against that cartoon? 
FACT: If gays continue to go to such places as bath houses to 'pick up' some
other person, then why shouldn't it be expected they'd get AIDS? 
Ditto anyone for that matter. All I know is - If I were gay, I'd avoid such
places like the plague. I'm hetrosexual and avoid them!! 
What is the matter with the individual taking sexual responsibilities upon
him/herself instead of putting it on the government? Gays are no different
than anyone else are they? -=*) ANN (*=-

I too have heard it got started from some man having sex with a monkey over
in Africa! The monkey was not gay nor willing! Ha ha. That could never
happen in this country - the men here prefer sheep to monkeys!! *Heh

Perhaps AIDS is Mother Nature's way of saying bye-bye to some of the more
harmful species of Planet Earth.

Perhaps this is how another shade from the Dark Ages will be removed?

If the future history of this planet could be revealed (SEE MADAME ROSE,
SPECIAL $15.) we may think that AIDS is mild in comparison.

I wonder if it will kill as big a percentage of the population as the Black
Death did of centuries ago?  I wonder if it will be responsible for my own
personal death.  I have to die somehow but could think of better ways such
as stop breathing in my sleep or being instantly crushed by a 100,000 pound
block of steel without any notice.

I suppose my odds are either a traffic related death or the ole heart
getting tired and quitting.

If AIDS became a plague and wiped out three fourts or so of the human
population then the remaining would have developed a natural immunity for it
and would not be bothered by that particular disease.  Something new would
have to come about and it always does.

As long as man is 'heavy physical', flesh eaters and such we can look
forward to the 1-100 life expectency that our species enjoys??

So, you see, Daryl, I let go one night, got too loose and out of
consideration to all I zapped the previous messages.

When you do find the truth it will not include some deep dark mystery that
reads like a scary sci-fi story.  It will not include death and hell for
anything but instead love divine.

Yeah, yeah, I know, people put themselves in eternal hell....sure..sure.

It will not include any type of gnashing of teeth or hurt that lingers but
instead it will be equality of the masses.  

It will be people helping people and that to me is heaven.  It will not be
"the chosen few" but the chosen many with not a feeling life-form taking
blame or misery on account of "it says so."

You have allowed yourself to be tricked into accepting this crutch and
that is fine as long as, later on, you learn just what it was.  Life can be
good but the religions of the world keep mans hearts and souls divided as
can be.  All ideology is false except that which says that all are equal,
are on the same small ship sailing through space and what one suffers, all
will suffer.  We've got to help each other and the best, most competent
method is the scientific approach not the religious one.  Scientific minded
people the world over have everything in common but those with religious
hard-ons have only disdain for each other because their narrow belief system
stands in the way, clouds their minds with pretension and falsehood from
ages past.  Science is that of learning new and different things.  Religion
is the same old tired way that bears no fruit other than corruption.

Scientists the world over can and do work together for common causes which
involve helping a troubled planet.  People of religion are on too many
separate wave-lengths to be able to develop anything of worth.  People of
religion pray, light candles, or spin wheels to invoke a solution and have
been doing it from ages past all to to avail.  It doesn't work and never
did but I suppose it satisfies the masses and keeps them out of mischief.

All you can do is quote from some old book that is never updated.  How
would the human animal know if Satan changed his mind and came back into
the fold?  It's probably the most ridiculous book ever written and has, no
doubt, held the human animal back in his evolving to a more intelligent
state.  I'm sure that because of it many a life has been ended unjustly.

Many early scientists were brutally tortured for being heretic and today it
is not that much different.  Religion has always held truth back but little
by little people are beginning to awaken and see the real light, not the
darkness of hell and threat of punishment.

It appears that religion has got you firmly by the gonads and is extracting
a price that will later in life become evident, perhaps.  Trade your
crutches in on the one I have found.  I went through the religion bullcrap
and am very glad to be rid of it.  My crutch is scientific thought.

If your god can put me in his hell then so be it.  But if that little
bastard thinks he can play fairy tale games with a certain percentage of his
creation then I publicly spit in his face.  I smear it with feces and look
him straight in the eye, eyeball to eyeball and simply say:

      Go fuck yourself God, you are shit.  You are the worst kind of
disease of earth.  You are poison.  You are evil.  You are a mealy-mouthed
mother fucker and you suck big, moldy dog cocks.

      So do with me what you will if you think you are MAN enough because I
happen to think of you as simply a blowing fart in the wind.

Well Daryl, that last part is about as un-scientific as one can get and I
apollogize to you if I have offended.  I'm just making a point. Love, Rod

Most people die from illness related problems.
Then comes accidents and such. I think the Surgeon G.'s office had
some statistics out about what the greatest causes of death
were. Of course smoking was given a good chunk and oft inordinately
blamed for problems that might have surfaced in individuals anyway.
Then again, I don't smoke.
 
Don't worry about it, Roddy...it'll all be over quicker than you think.

We just spent a while up on my roof watching the Westown fireworks.  Before
and after that show, we were able to watch the fireworks at GCC.  The GCC
fireworks were great even from my place (31st Ave and T-Bird).  We could
also see a bit of the Peoria fireworks.

A couple of years back "they" said that a gay flight attendant from Canada
is thought to be the first person to begin the transmission of AIDS into the
United States.  Since he was gay, he spread it through the gay community. 
There were about 200 plus men he infected.  
That is one, gay, promiscuous person.  I don't know why people think that
gays are more promiscuous than heterosexuals...

I have an article in front of me that states: For every gallon of gasoline
that is used a car dumps about 20 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air. 

It goes on to explain that even though a gallon of gas weighs a little more
than six pounds that each carbon atom joins with two atoms of oxygen thus
emitting somewhere around four times the weight.

And what about those figures you posted several years ago on airplane
emissions?  You said that each airplane on takoff dumps tons of the stuff
into our atmosphere.  

And we are surrounded by airports, Sky Harbor, Luke, Williams and a few
small ones around the valley.

It would seem that a driver dumps more pollutants into the environment in
one hour of driving than a smoker does in a lifetime.

What's your opinion?  Is this second-hand cigarette smoke just another
smoke-screen, so to speak?

It seems to me that neither the outside or the inside or anywhere in or near
a large city such as Phoenix has a healthy environment.  Are we basically
poisoning ourselves but are too caught up in industry to stop it?  Our
offspring are going to have to mutate quite a lot in order to keep up.  Rod
