Well, once again its December the first, and once again it is World AIDS Day - which means we should perhaps all take a little time to reflect on the hardship suffered by people who have suffed damage to the immune system, caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. I think perhaps the saddest thing about AIDS is that people truely don't give it as much attention as it deserves - we all know someone who's suffered Cancer and supported them through the rough times (and hopefully they've made a revovery), however, not so many of us know a person living with HIV or AIDS and thus we have a view that perhaps isn't the healthiest or most reasonable. With this in mind, please pay attention the following facts. - AIDS originatd in sub-Saharan Africa during the 20th Century - An estimated 38.6 MILLION people now live with disease world-wide. - The World Health Organization estimates that 25,000,000 people have died from AIDS since it was first recognized on the fifth of June 1981. - In 2005 AIDS claimed an estimated 2.4 - 3.3 Million lives - Of which more then 570,000 were children. - The Human Immunodeficiancy Virus (The cause of AIDS) is contracted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the blood stream with a body fluid containing HIV - Blood, Semen, Vaginal Fluid, Preseminal fluid, and breast milk. - The transmission can come in the form of: anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids. - There is no known cure. - There is no known cure. - There is no known cure. Take care to really read that last point. AIDS is definite - Once you have it, you cannot escape it. Whether you're Gay/Straight, Sober/Addicted, Old or Young. It is with you for life. There are drugs that slow down the time it takes for AIDS to take its toll, but it will eventually do so. Sadly, there is a stigma attached to people who have AIDS, which is why I'm posting this. We're not in the middle ages any more, we're not in the early 20th century even. Its not time for us to quarantine people from society. Lets get things straight here - YES they carry a virus that is infectious, but you need contact with a body fluid. Understand that people suffering this disease (generally) don't wish to cause you harm - they'll be open with you, and let you in on thier experience - but don't judge them. Would you judge someone with Cancer? No. AIDS is no difference. Instead, listen to people and provide your support to them. We can make a change in this world - we can educate people, and start practising safe sex, and we can begin to Understand the problems that this pandemic causes. The time has come for change - and you're all going to be in this world to help change it. Do whats best - and remember to spare a thought for the poor souls in this world who have lost someone to HIV/AIDS, live with HIV/AIDS, or have died from AIDS. Its the least you can do...

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." - Jesus (ca. 5 BCE - 33 CE) in the Gospels, Luke 6:31; Luke 10:27 (affirming of Moses) - Matthew 7:12 Plenty of other similar quotations, attributed to many other wise souls - but that one is one of the most well known.

Thundercrack - they're comparable on the level that they are both expensive to treat/fight, and that both carry a heavy mortality rate. Certainly the fact that one CAN contract AIDS is an important distinction to make - but Cancer and AIDS are comparable on some similar levels.

Hey BT, I am loving the beautiful bold, bright colours this CJ has! It makes it stand out! Awesome work!!!! Con mucho amor, "ded"

That sure is one beautiful city you got happening there!

Haha, good stuff! I think this is the first time i've seen "Homeworld" used in a CJ! = D

hey, I'm loving the new pics, this has always been a favourite CJ of mine, and it still is. Ralston looks like the type of city I'd like to live in

Surely, not me, not I? Surely, it is...

Wow, this city is fantastic. I am really impressed = ) Great job, d00d!

Only capital city I have been to is "Wellington, New Zealand" - which is actually not to bad a city.

Fortunately my school doesn't have such unabased displays of favouritism... But, the other high school in town does. Go figure. My high school does have the positions of 'Head Boy', 'Head Girl', 'Secretary', and 'Treasurer' - positions that are given to Students after a vote by the entire student body.

GB... It appears that you own numerous pairs of gray tee-shirts in that picture. As we all know that cloning only reproduces biological material, and NOT clothing. = )

Yup... I'm going with the first poster... 'Maneater' - Nelly Furtado. It makes me want to go out and par-tay EVERY time I hear it. Not many songs do that. And its so damn catchy. Of course, that is for current releases. In terms of music written throughout history, it comes nowhere close to best song!

Yeah. I get confused by an "X" next to a "4"... I'm lost, haha! = )

That picture is annoying me, Aleking... Its so confusing!!!

'Keep On Moving (FPN Remix)' - Starstylers

Here is a picture of me with my friend Brittany at one of the many pre-balls before the actual School Ball (hence the suit and the tie and the hat). Never mind the awful light that makes us both look like corpses, but... That is a (fairly) clear picture of me. So there you go!
