Why should we be welcoming people with diseases into this country?

Why not? We have plenty of our own selfishly spreading the disease. May as well bring in others, whose strains are different, increase the chances they spread the disease, which in turn creates new variants, which makes treating even more difficult...

"There is NO reason to lift this ban. Now those suffering with it and unable to afford the treatments will come here and suck off our welfare. You know that is what will happen. This country is a riot."

Absolutely...heck, all the illegal immigrants are already having anchor babies on our system. AIDS is expensive to treat...what the heck...our welfare system can handle it.

Or would I rather help someone with AIDS than someone who''s sucking off the system and having 10 babies and collecting welfare. Perhaps the AIDS-infected people can infect the welfare suckers, and the whole problem is fixed.

RE: DaVicar2''s last post.

You seem to be confusing survival instinct with learned behaviors. There is a distinct difference.

Similarly, you mistake a doctor using the proper precautions as fear. If the doctor feared, he (or she) wouldn''t be able to help anyone who is sick. There is no fear in his (or her) action, only proper precautionary practice. In fact, the use of such precautions is most likely based in 1) intelligence and 2) education. Fear doesn''t enter the picture.

...that is because I reserve the right to HATE what I HATE, and FEAR what I FEAR! And not have persons such as yourself arbitrarily decide which is which.

I never told you who to hate or fear. I only said that America would be better off without all the haters. Take it as you will.

I am tired of being called homophobic (someone who fears ***) when all I really do is HATE them...
-DaVicar2

Odd, how I used the word hatemonger, and you admit that you hate, then you get upset that you''ve been called a hatemonger.... even though I never specifically referred to you. Something about shoes and fitting here...

Ignorance leads to fear leads to hate. Said many times in many ways. I didn''t make it up.

This is a frightening thought -

"Terrorists" who want to die "for Allah" will intentionally infect themselves;

They''''ll come to America and spread it around, accomplishing slowly what they could not accomplish by crashing airplanes on 9/11.

Since we don''''t have universal health care, too many of us will die . . . . . .

I just had a visual of tour buses filled with jihadists going to San Francisco & pulling up in front of a bath house & hundreds of terrorists piling into a big tub cat calling any guy how walks by with: "Heeelloooo Sailor! Looking for a good time??!!"
