heres what i do my friend....i watch news, talk shows, read internet, come up with my own conclusions on what could be right or wrong and use that info to form my "opinion" , i would use it to give my "opinion", i would never state anything as fact that i cant back up. you on the other hand, state things as facts, then put a link up assuming that all that info is true, when the info on the link is just someone elses opinion...get it yet?

maybe those 32 million condoms were intended for those of asian decent and will not fit those of african decent. I dont see why they need to ramp up funds from our government to show them the benefit of abstination. One would think the constant threat of a killer disease would be enough to suppress those urges. After all, masturbation is about the safest *** there is.

Health GAP Report: Between the Lines
GAO Report on PEPFAR Prevention Programs: U.S. Abstinence/Being Faithful-Only Programs Produce Stigma and Death

The harmful effects of Bush''s PEPFAR prevention policies have most recently taken shape in Uganda where comprehensive prevention efforts were credited with dramatically reducing the HIV prevalence over the past decade. Pressures of PEPFAR funding requirements have caused a notable shift in the prevention approaches of the Ugandan government however as President Museveni and other leaders have strongly endorsed abstinence-only programs and increased anti-condom rhetoric over the past year. Some 32 million quality-approved condoms remain impounded in government warehouses while the U.S. government ramps up financing for abstinence-only approaches to HIV prevention. According to Ugandan AIDS activists, the government''s actions will undermine community efforts to reduce HIV prevalence and HIV transmission. These trends away from scientifically sound, evidence-based prevention strategies are occurring in Uganda and in other countries hard-hit by the AIDS epidemic, such as Nigeria, South Africa, and Zambia.

Our Constitution says absoulty nothing about Christanity,,, Our own 5th Congress unamimously decread it isn''t in any way based on Christian principles or beliefs.
