mburbank I actually thought 'Jewperman' was the funny.

It's more than renigging. At the same time his own budget renigs, he's making speeches claiming he's asked for full funding. He knows his speeches get news coverage and his budget speciffics get lot less.

He needs to be publicly challeneged on that kind of shit. It's highly disshonest and morally repugnant since the money is for AIDS treatment. It is a VERY unchristian act, and the best one could hope for is that he doesn't know, which is plenty bad enough.

Big McLargehuge Regardless of what disease is more of a problem the fact remains, Bush said he'd do something, he is now doing less than he promised.

What is it called when you say you'll do something and then not do it?

El Blanco And many others don't.

And those who do beat it, how many have their lives permanently altered? How many are sterilized because of the radiation or chemotherapy?

And, we know how to slow down AIDS and prevent its spread. Can we really say the same of cancer?
Sep 17th, 2003 10:17 AM
Spectre X AIDS, currently, can only be slowed down, and not cured.

Cancer, well, a lot of people get cured from that.
Sep 17th, 2003 09:15 AM
El Blanco But we know how it is spread (or, at least know the easiest methods). How many types of cancer are almost a complete mystery to us?

And I want to know how AIDS has torn apart society. I'm not trying to belittle the disease or its victims in anyway, but I think the original statement did so for cancer and its victims.
Sep 17th, 2003 08:49 AM
FS Well, AIDS is infectious.
Sep 17th, 2003 07:53 AM
El Blanco And its being torn apart by AIDS? Mind explaining how that is happening?


I've seen people taken by both diseases and it doesn't look like there is a whole hell of a lot of difference.
Sep 17th, 2003 01:05 AM
Big Papa Goat AIDS causes much more severe problems worldwide than cancer does. Its not like North American soceity is being torn apart by cancer.
Sep 16th, 2003 10:56 AM
mburbank Hell, why don't we spend money on TB? It's treatable and vast numbers of people die in the third world simply because they can't afford mosquito netting before or drugs afterwards?


The point if this thread is not that there aren't lots of diseases to combat or if it's worth doing for other people (personally, I think whole countries full of starving Orphans are bad for global security, but that's just my take),

The point is it's just one more example of Bush's incoherent, cynical style. He got the photo op, why pay the whole damn bill?
Sep 16th, 2003 10:47 AM
El Blanco Not to belittle the AIDS issue, but what ever happen to cancer?

It kills a lot more people than AIDS and we really have very little idea where it comes from or what to do to prevent it. AIDS, we have a good idea how to control it.

Cancer funding is something like 1/25 of AIDS funding (although that stat is somewhat old and may have changed).

And why are we footing most of the bill? We are what, 5% of the world's populaton and less than 10% of the AIDS victims are American. Don't get me wrong, if the president pledged that money, it should be delivered, but I think perspectives are somewhat skewed here.

STFU

mburbank And the gates of heaven open wide for the compassionate Thamurai. Are you prepared to face the 'conquenences' of it turning out God cares about heartlessness, and the least of your bretheren? Hope you like damnation.

That being said, none of your rebuttal, such as it is, adresses the fact that Bush publicly calls for fully funding his own AIDS initiative while calling for a third less in his budget.

That makes him a cynical manipulative liar, a cretin, or both. Hey, no wonder you like the guy!
