The Economic Cost of HIV/AIDS in Canada - Canadian AIDS Society
https://www.cdnaids.ca/wp-content/uploads/Economic-Cost-of-HIV-AIDS-in-Canada.pdf
'We estimate the net present value of the economic loss attributed to those recently infected with HIV to be $4,031,500,000, or $1.3 million per person. Omitting quality of life lost for the sake of comparison, the current figures are about 22% higher than those estimated in 2001 after accounting for inflation.'
Do you pay taxes?
The whole "pride" thing is bullshit anyway. Here's the short version of why. Gay Pride- We've finally arrived! Black Pride- SO Empowering. White Pride- You f*cking racist cracker.
Now the longer version. Taking pride in an accident of birth is just stupid nonsense. Especially when you take a single aspect of who you are and make it the sum total of who you are. When someone says they are proud to be gay, the first thing that pops into my head is a question, "Why?" And I don't mean in the sense that they should be ashamed, I mean in the sense that being born gay isn't really an accomplishment anymore than being born straight is. In other words, you didn't do anything to become gay, you were simply born that way.
Now, before anyone works themselves into a tizzy over that, I have the exact same attitude when I hear someone say, "I'm a proud Canadian", or American, or Briton or whatever. Being born here isn't really an accomplishment worthy of pride since it's an accident of birth, not something you strove for.
That's not to say I'm not proud of many of the things Canada has done and contributed to the world (although we've certainly had our less prideful moments too), but I simply consider myself as being lucky to be Canadian.
Take pride in what you've accomplished. Not an accident of birth. And if you've accomplished something in spite of "what" you are, there's nothing wrong with taking a little extra pride in it either.
Of course most of that post is about individual pride, and one could argue that the gay and lesbian community at the very least, being accepted into mainstream society and no longer part of the "counter-culture", is an accomplishment. I still think there's work to be done with transgender issues though. However, was it so much an accomplishment or simply the fact that Canadians by and large just stopped giving a shit about other people's personal lives?

Hey Walter,
Do you talk like this in front of your grown-up daughter? Is she aware you post stuff like this on-line? Or perhaps this is just an internet persona.

I think he once had unrequited love for a lesbian, so whenever he sees a lesbian, it reminds him of that.
Poor guy!
I've mentioned this in the past...
How come porn lesbians are always both hot, but in real life, one is usually okay looking...but the other one inevitably looks like Bruno Gerrusi?

Wow. You really are naive.
Ha! You think Gays are leading niave. ? Try again, it's heterosexualIndigenous people that lead the pacK by far. The highest numbers in the western world is FNS in SK. They even have a unique strain of the HI virus.
Monogamous or even polygamous homosexual sex presents a far lower risk of spreading HIV than heterosexual promiscuity.
What HIV assumption was that, that monogamy or even polygamy matters more than sexual orientation in containing the spread of STIs and that promiscuity matters more than sexual orientation in determining the epidemiological risk?
One of my favorite quotes in one of my favorite movies...
Little Bill: Well sir, you are a cowardly son of a bitch...you just shot an unarmed man.
William Munny: He should have armed himself if he’s gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.
If the kids want to play adult games, they need to start educating themselves like adults. It's not Ford's problem if they don't have the attention span or emotional intelligence to look past a twitter headline as the main source for political information in which to base their position. Dumbing down the social or political system so as not to leave behind the morons just nurtures a generation of morons.
Isn't it the universities that keep telling us diversity of position fuels productive, healthy debate?
