I see a rise in Serial Killers in America period. All this will do is give the rapist a good laugh as he pulls it out, or enrage them to do something worse before or after they rape the male/female.Quote:

Besides if it fails they can always take it out & use it as a shank.
That's the whole issue with aids in Africa; they don't have the hospitals that could even begin to treat things like that I don't think.Quote:

Stop being such a foolish limousine liberal asswipe. Imagine you go back in time to 1200 and try to convince the people of germ theory or viruses. Do you think they'll believe you?Quote:

There is no rule of law and no concept of property deeds or anything like that. Unlike emerging markets like India there is little foreign investment and foreign jobs except for oil rigs which have devastated the environment because of shoddy protections.
Obviously my description is simplified to a large degree but hopefully you get the idea.
Since when were all the Africans Christians, and you think that missionaries have reached all of Africa?Quote:

It's awful and it's wrong, but they just don't know any better.
Taking this point of view Africa's main priority is education.
It's amazing how well germ theory applies to TNL.
The Middle East and South East Asia has similiar problems, corrupt governments, idiotic tribal structure, rampant misconceptions about AIDS, and monotheistic religion, yet somehow they don't subscribe to a "cure" that infects others in the most horriable and traumatic way possible with a disease that will outcast the victim for life in that society.Quote:

Wrong. I saw a news article on bbc a few weeks back about how in India there was a town where people were told that to get rid of evil spirits mutilating children was the way to go about it. It's not aids, but it's awful in a totally different way. Sure that's just a small example, but that such things are not unique.Quote:

In case you didn't realize it yet, the Middle East has cultural "quirks" of their own, stemming from similar antiquated notions of the world.Quote:

Of course there isn't a 1-to-1 relationship to these things, the cultures are quite different.
Like burky said the problem is education. And its not enough just to say this or that, they wont believe you, for all the reasons I outlined above, the challenge is piercing that thick cloud of ignorance. It's happened in every society in the history of time.
And there's nothing "idiotic" about tribal structure, especially when the governments in place are the ones you see in Africa and the ME. You really are ignorant and stuck-up.
