Don't even step to me and try to make me believe you're intelligent. You know nothing of HIV and AIDS. I've watched a half dozen people die to it firsthand and for you to tell me it is incurable is a sham. It will kill more people, yes, but it will not destroy every last person in this world. That's impossible. Anything that happens in this world can be altered or stopped, the only reason it isn't is because we don't possess the knowledge yet to do so. I don't particulary like hearing people make claims like that on a forum, especially since so many of the readers don't know much about it and just take what they hear as truth. that's how lies are propogated. If you wish to seed your thoughts with regurgitation of real science, then do so elsewhere. I'm finished with this argument, Makaveli. You've proved nothing to me.

Ok, to start, I've always respected you a good deal, if only for the radio broadcast and all, but what you are saying is complete bullshit. Especially that you feel that you can talk down to makaveli ("son", "Don't even step to me and try to make me believe you're intelligent").

First off, I know nothing of this issue, so that's not what I'm going to address. I'd like to know, spook, just what it is you do that makes you such an expert on this. You said microbiologist earlier, and you seem to know a good bit about that, but I'm not sure. That would give me a bit more respect for your opinions, but still not much.

The way I see it is that you don't agree with makaveli's opinions and you question whether or not he knows what he's talking about. Obviously he does, seeing as he posted excellent support, however you retort with only that you don't believe him. You never give any support for your case. When you do bring it up you say that you have several friends who've had to deal with HIV/AIDS and you use that as though it entitles you to more intelligence on the topic. In reality though, it seems to me that it just ties you to the issue more emotionally and thus less logically.

As it stands, I'm more inclined to believe makaveli because you have come up with no support of your opinion spook.
