How do you view AIDS victims?

[Martino]

Powerful T says he equates AIDS 'with hookers'.

Who still views AIDS as a disease as punishment, or a disease caught by people who 'deserve it'?

[kimpossible]

I don't really know the guy but I don't think he meant in all sincerity that some people deserve HIV. At least, I don't think. And if he does it's a good thing I'm not above drinking the occasional nice, hot mug of STFU.

Running an Irony Scan ...

Napoleon Chynamite (talking about Gong Li):
Who cares. As far as I'm concerned her mouth is only good for one thing, and it sure ain't English~

Powerful T: Ew. I'm pretty sure just being within a foot of her would result in AIDS.

Martino: What a nasty comment to make about anyone.

Powerful T: I am quite sure that if you were straight, you'd say the same thing. Only then can you appreciate just how unattractive she is.

Martino: So you equate AIDS to ugly people? What, ugly people deserve AIDS?

Powerful T: No, I, like most people, equate AIDS to hookers.

Result of Irony Scan: Negative. But high levels of sexism, intolerance, stereotyping, and general ignorance of the suffering of individuals affected by HIV/AIDS.

EDIT: can you make this a poll?

[hooligan]

Isn't the best (and I say this honestly because I don't know) either AIDs survivors or those living with AIDs? I say, help me give them strength because some of those folks have a lot of hard living to do ahead of them.

He's also 16, watch out who you're arguing with. lol.

:eek: ben the ageist poopoo head.

;-; disease is not meant for the secluded, and it is infact disease that teaches us the equal vulnerability of all human beings. trying to seperate yourself from AIDS victims only makes you grow further apart from reality: that it can affect you, me, and everybody here.

INTERNET: SERIOUS BUSINESS

It was meant in this context-that the subject could GIVE YOU the said fatal STD if you came in contact with her, meaning that the innumerable amount of -contact- she has had certainly must have had some repercussions. Not that she has Aids.

Well, he wouldn't be the first one around here to indulge in serious snark. But I guess if you have a beef with it, you and he can slap each other around about it. Topic's legit enough.

Poll? Sure. PM me with what you want. As close to verbatim as possible, please.

Kinda contadicting yourself there, but still accusing someone of having a disease as if (a) everyone who has AIDS is in someway deserving of the status, and (b) the disease itself is something you can only get from 'certain types of people'.

Very, very disturbing.

Hey hey, while my post may have been a sexist joke, it was only because I find her hawt. HIV, whoredom, and STI's had nuffin' to do with it. So I'm basically only half the asshole you thought I was. ^_^

Well, I dunno about you, but if you're going to tongue more sack than a ball-washer at a golf course, you're gonna end up with an STD even if you're Jesus H. Christ.

Also, I think you're taking this a bit far for a snappy one-liner intended for humor.

Relax, NC, I'm picking up on PT's views on people with AIDS ...

I asked you if you were joking, and you clarified. There's nothing snappily funny in saying AIDS is the reserve of sex workers.

Nothing.

I have lost more friends than I have fingers to this disease. I don't equate AIDS with hookers.

I'm shaking with anger here.

[Powerful T]

I asked you if you were joking, and you clarified.

Factual, and I was furthering my original statement.

Do I have to write a small disclaimer before I create jokes that are extremely hilarious to most hardened Internet warriors? Why else would I have a huge folder full of different images that all say "Enjoy your AIDS" or "Have a box of AIDS".

It's a part of Internet culture. I'm sorry about your friends, but the Internet cannot be stopped. :wink:

Wishing AIDS on people? If you think that is humour, then I think you are sick.

WELCOME TO THE INTERNET

Edit: aaaand I'm leaving to go sell some stuff.

^Shit-taking is part of the package along with shit-dealing.

[Martino]

Someday you may have to live with AIDS, when you or someone very close to you gets the disease. Only then maybe, maybe, you'll get an inkling of the fight that's still going on, to raise awareness above this kind of 'humour'.

Then again, maybe you'll just stay ignorant.

[Powerful T]

^Shit-taking is part of the package along with shit-dealing.

True. It's a pity that he can't really do anything to me. So, while he mixes up another sob story to try to wring some guilt of of me, I've got to take care of RL matters.

in other words, BRB

Trust me, I'll never get ai-*goes on his favorite forum and receives a box of AIDS*

OH WAIT NEVERMIND LOL

[Martino]

LOL

It may be only the internet, but it's plain to me by you hiding behind the old 'It was only a joke' routine that you are insensitive, ignorant, uncaring, cruel, and generally a not very good person.

And I bet that even made you smile.

I'm going to stop now, before I get banned for wishing real ill on you. So I'll leave the last word to you:

[pikachupacabra]

First it was only gays that had AIDS, now it's only hookers...next it'll only be three-eyed lepers from Tunisia.



Doesn't anyone care about the Lepers??

[Powerful T]

Eh, whatever. You're still cool in my books even if you think I'm a dick, and believe me, you're not the first.

[kimpossible]

Since this was a man-to-man thing despite the open to public topic I'm going to close this. Looks like whatever flared up is over anyhow.
