“[Economics] is not the only obstacle to seeking help for HIV-Aids in Zimbabwe. Despite an estimated 1.8 million people in the country living with HIV-Aids, stigma remains not only a significant obstacle to accessing treatment, but also a powerful force for dividing families and propagating conflict within communities.” The government’s sexual repression isn’t helping matters, either.

An african nation engaging in homophobic tactics cloaked in moral grounds. I’m so surprised !
Tom
Yeah, it appears they learned the tactic very well from the European colonialist.
CHURCHILL-Y
Darn those DEAD European colonialist look at what they are making them do!
Tom
Jesus Christ is dead too (presuming you believe he even existed) and look at all the stupid and hateful shit he continues to make people do.
Church, if there is one thing about you, you are consistent…a consistent idiot.
Mr C
Thanks Tom,
I agree, See what hometraining has done to the idiotic dipshit.

I think churchill-Y is making the ironic point (god, that cliche that yanks just don’t get irony is true !!) that us europeans are blamed still for all the current problems that africa is suffering- and that the old colonial regimes are thus obviously to blame for the current african aids crisis
witness the mountain of evidence on these very boards from people trying to divert responsibility for effnik homophobic actions onto colonialism, past racsims, the way the wind is blowing, slavery, the price of cheese, etc etc.
Blacks, muslims, etc etc have to accept responsibility for their own lives, run their own countries and stop blaming everyone with brains and technological know-how for all their problems
I think that’s the situation explained!
Tom
Well, the cliche that Europeans are more enlightened is certainly not true. You ably prove that Blzbab. Maybe you should try not to think, it actually makes things worse for you.
beelzebab
LOL, well Tom, if Europeans in general are not more enlightened why are we further ahead in the gay equality stakes?
and I do find it amusing that you fulfill the cliche of not having the brains to respond with an argument so you use abuse! Yeah, great.
