Dear Paul:

I wanted to bring one last thing to your attention concerning your comment that “Aids is not a Gay Disease.” I would be the first to say that today, HIV/Aids can be contracted by male or female. This is very true! However, in terms of its “Origin”, HIV/AIDS came from the Homosexual lifestyle! If you were to go back to the late 70’s and the entire decade of the 80’s, medical doctors referred to what we now call “Aids” as “The Gay Disease.”

The entire Medical industry was baffled by this disease and didn’t know what to call it; all they knew was that this disease was happening to the men who were practicing homosexuals. Any medical research on HIV/AIDS will show that what I’m saying is true. I do believe however, that Aids is God’s way of allowing mankind to suffer as a consequence for this perverted and deviant lifestyle that He detest and will someday judge. I know that you will probably disagree, but I think that the Handwriting is already on the Wall!

Ok, Wayne, that tears it. I have tried to remain as calm and respectful of your opinions as possible, but the gloves are coming off.

For your information, the disease now known as AIDS was present in several different populations in the late 1970’s, not just the homosexual community. However, officials with the Centers for Disease Control were having a difficult time finding a common link or explanation for the rise in Kaposi’s Sarcoma cases among the different groups. The disease was showing a statistical slant in the homosexual community, so they worked on the assumption that the common link was homosexual sex. They called the syndrome “GRID” or “Gay-Related Immunodeficiency Disease” and sent out infection control procedures to doctors across the country.

The earliest alerts sent out clearly stated that the etiology of the disease was unknown, and that the “highest number of cases have been reported in the homosexual community.” I’ll explain that for you, since you obviously need help with connecting dots: if the HIGHEST number was reported in homosexuals, that would mean that there were OTHER communities reporting the disease. The word HIGHEST is comparative, not singular.

The name GRID was quickly changed to AIDS because the CDC acknowledged that the disease was present in multiple populations.

People like YOU Mr Cooper have perpetuated the stigma behind the disease. People who claim to be loving and compassionate, but in reality are hypocritical bigots who are so blinded by their fervor for belonging to an elitist group that they lack the capacity to see reality.

I have written more about AIDS recently and I encourage you to read those articles and follow the links. Not that I expect you to actually gain any information from it, since you seem hell bent on being stupid.

You hide behind this supposed “shield of faith” in a little black book that you apparently need to do your thinking for you. You wear the clothing of a modern person, but your ideas are firmly rooted in the ancient past. If you this were 1960, you would be stomping around in a white sheet and burning crosses. The thought process is the same.

It is people just like you, Mr. Cooper, who have turned Christianity into a joke for a growing number of people. I can think of no other population who has proven themselves to be as hypocritical, bigoted, hateful, and fucking stupid as those drinking the kool-aid from your stand.

You think these are the end times, Mr. Cooper? I think you’re absolutely right. These are the end times, but not as you picture them from the book of Revelations. The four horsemen are real, their names are TRUTH, BEAUTY, KNOWLEDGE, and RESPONSIBILITY. And they are coming to announce the end times for those people like you who insist on judging and labeling and condemning people who have brains and the ability to decipher parable from history.

If Jesus were a real person living today, you would be at the head of the line of people denouncing his actions. YOU would be Judas and the Romans rolled up in one nice little package. You’d be the guy standing next to him salivating to use your hammer.

I don’t hate Christians, in fact, I know many that I respect and love. I don’t automatically assume that new people that I meet who identify as Christians are fucking idiots. Unfortunately, the idiots have been out in full force lately.

Flaming Fuck YouI think you deserve the second “Flaming Fuck You” award I’ve ever handed out. I suggest that you check out the first recipient’s website. The two of you can talk together about how awful all the faggots are while painting each other’s toenails, pointing fingers, and secretly lusting after each other.

Even Tammy might sing along this time….join me won’t you in a round of my favorite song? First verse, same as the first! (To the tune of Bingo Was His Name-O)

B-I-G-O-T
B-I-G-O-T
B-I-G-O-T
And Cooper was his Name-O

Now just the straight white males!

B-I-G-O-T
B-I-G-O-T

And Cooper was his Name-O

How come I sang that last verse by myself?

Othurme - I think you know why you’re singing by yourself. I would like to encourage any other straight (white or not) non-bigoted guys who read my blog to out themselves. Come out come out where ever you are…

Jester, I am reaching for the right words to expression my appreciation of the manner in which you replied to Mr. Bigot - ooops - Mr. Cooper. What comes to mind is an informative and well phrased response. Unfortunately, however, I doubt that he and his ilk (I love that word) will get it or admit it. Religion in the wrong hands is big money.

I have two confessions before my comment: 1) I drank before I commented, 2) I didn’t read carefully before I commented. Taking 1) and 2) into account, I move that we 3) ignore fuckwads that feel the need to muddy up the intelliweb, and 4) please, please don’t kill the funtabulous posts about life as we know it.

I love that you take the beast on, but I don’t always read it.

Oh! And if I could but get my fiancee to comment, he’d agree and back u up. Ain’t it the dickens getting boys to say what they really think?

OneBadSue - Don’t worry. I don’t always read it when I go off like that either. I think I’ve exhausted the AIDS as a Gay Disease and Fags are Bad discussions. For now at least. Unless someone is able to say something higher on the moron scale than Coopy that it requires my finger pointing and derision.

No that’s not a challenge to the bigots lurking around.

I’ve got plenty of stories left in me. Fear not.

Well crap, I didn’t know people like this still lived…or rather I guess I was hoping they had dropped off the planet. What a bigot
