     No, you get it clear!  A Homosexual has definitely done something WRONG
to get infected with AIDS.  He committed unnatural, deviant acts (AIDS major
method of transmission) which have been expressly prohibited by God.  So, yes
he did do something WRONG!


Please note that the
other methods of transmission (contaminated needles, blood transfusions, and
heterosexual contact, etc.) are much rarer and not relevant to this discussion.
(Because the original statement postulated a homosexual that acquired AIDS.  No,
I dont want to discuss the VERY remote possibility that he never committed the
acts and acquired it by another route.)  We are talking about a very specific
case here.

PS.  I am sorry to waste the net bandwidth with this, but some outrageous
     statements should NOT be allowed to pass unremarked.  I will try to
     resist replying to any further responses here on this subject since I
     know that you all hate these side discussions in comp.sys.amiga.



PLEASE,
        NO MORE about AIDS here.  He (and a few others) foisted off his
opinions on us here, and I responded with mine.  We DONT need any further
discussion of this in the amiga area.  I dont like his opinion, he doesnt like
mine.  Neither is likely to be changed by filling comp.sys.amiga with more
flames.
