HIV has risen to a whole new level in the south.

Hmmm.

Harvard's acceptance rate: 5.9% (2014). Rejection (failure) rate: 94.1%

Percentage of NCAA men's basketball players who go pro: 1.2%. Failure rate: 98.8%

Rate of serious injury and fatalities with seat belt use: 50% (NHTSA)

The relative comparison makes condom use a strong bet. You're 32% more likely to walk away from a sexual encounter without a disease or unwanted pregnancy if you use a condom than avoiding death or serious injury when using a seat belt.

I hear what you are saying, and I'm certainly not trying to dissuade anyone from using condoms, just emphasizing the fact that there is no perfect protection out there from pregnancy or disease, and with STD's on the rise it is a concern for all.

Hey, I'm a heathen by all accounts. But sure as hell don't have unprotected sex with random skanky dudes, nor hang onto dead family members after they die from ebola.

(Not that everyone that contracts HIV gets it from skanky dudes!! I'm well aware of the other ways to contract the disease.)

I beg to differ cus the recently discovered oil and gas reserves that has been found in my country which by inference is coming out of Africa is not evoking fear anywhere in the world. So NO not anything coming out of Africa evokes fear and panic. I am just being sarcastic with that one, but it is plain disingenuous to be saying "watch out heathens aids, ebola, pestilence .... "as if the activities of heathens are causing the outbreak:cool:

And yet 1 in 6 Americans go hungry everyday, what a crying shame. I am sure that is the punishment for heathens as well since they have turned their back on the big man up there :cool:

Even with that 1 in 6 ratio, my chicken , my watermelon and my basketball, .....I would not trade away my American quality of life to live anywhere else in the world. ...

A Canadian wont trade his Canadian quality of life to live anywhere else in the world, so would Brits, Japanese Chinese et al, so you haven't said anything mind shattering. And contrary to what you think some people living in the beautiful continent of Africa wont trade their quality of life to live anywhere too. Surprise Surprise huh?:cool:

I love living here as well. However, having had the opportunity to travel, there are MANY wonderful countries in the world, often times with a higher quality of life, see below. One of the items on my bucket list is to live abroad for a few years, specifically Australia, UK and/or Canada. Have you ever lived anywhere else?

Loki,
The man made a subtle reference point that I have to live in a country where watermelon and chicken is a part of my stigma. .....I was merely making the point to him that despite those flaws endemic in our nation, I personally, have still managed to thrive like hell...

I don't agree with what Arch said, Africa is a beautiful Continent, and many of its people I have encountered are colorful and vibrant and warm/welcoming.. the diseases from there do not define the billions of its inhabitants, nor its grand place on this earth.

however for you to retort "1 in 6 Americans go hungry everyday" as if that is the glaring reality here.. please. Food is in abundance here, Govt subsidized feeding programs and agencies are freely available, from feeding kids at school, soup and church kitchens, food stamps, et al . A person goes hungry by choice here, or because the have a drug/booze addiction and blow their money.

We don't know what true hunger is, so its insulting to suggest we do. In fact we have so much food here that we donate food to other countries whose people are not only hungry, but STARVING.
