yeah. This nation have infection rate between 30-40%. Nobody really knows. Just estimates. Yet there is lots of denial. People rely on destiny. Doom.

[Bastet]

[Mariner]

he better dies. and then we have to hope the next one (danneels?) is a bit more openminded

bah, thinking about that makes me realise how fucking lucky i am with everything. Health, having the Love Of My Life, living in a "wealthy" country, having a decent and meaningful job, close friends and so on and so on.
I must sound really cheasy now, but I don't mind.

 

[Bastet]

i agree, don't think it's cheesy at all

 

[Bambi]

the pope also says you shouldnt go around shagging everthing that walks, which would probably do more to prevent aids than carpet bombing the whole of africa with condoms.

less random shagging= less aids. lets see if the UN put that on a poster campaign

[Bastet]

i wonder how many "real" men will take that advise

 

[Dhatura]

Abstaining? :/

 

[Falconspirit]
