it doesn't take two mods, i just decided to jump in. All right, sure continue with your plea, i'm just not a big fan of victimization cards. Play it if you want, it's not getting you anywhere. Mods aren't somehow better than "normal users" as you put it, you didn't say they are better i'm implicating that and dont' harp over that word i'm just saying that you differentiate us. Sure, there's a structural difference, but i don't see why you see the need to think we're ganging up on you. We aren't some gang. We're just two other users on jsl that happen to share a view. I thought if i interject it would help to represent my views as well that are different than victors in whatever intricacies there are.

your point?

i don't understand why isolation is such a bad idea. society used isolation on lepers, why not on aids, which is probabaly much worse than aids. i'm not saying stop reasearch. if we can find a cure, then that's great. i'm just saying it would be faster to isolate/eradicate all hosts of aids.
it's a bad idea because it's creating a dichotomized existence between the healthy and the unhealthy. It's repulsive you would think so highly of the sick that you would have the audacity to suggest such an oppressive and selfish move. I think a big fault in your thinking is the fact that you use history to endorse your rationale. Just because we have done it in the past, doesn't mean it was good or justifieid. I mean we held people in internment camps, are you saying if we found some danger within asian people that we would be justified in putting them back in tehre on the simple basis that we've done it in the past? that is no justification, it's just foolish to follow blindly like that. And, yes that is exactly what you are saying whether you realize it or not.
it would be faster, oppressive, inhumane, selfish, and just stupid to isolate/eradicate all hosts of aids that way. Furthermore, you never answer the key point of if AIDS were to arise again through animals or wherever. I guess i can't see why you think it's such a great idea, it sounds so terrible and you've shown no sign that you've thought through all of this. You just keep reiterating and plea the victim. Sorry, not working.
-edit-: i wish i remembered some details about the Sontag Critique of AIDS as a metaphor or whatever. I feel like reading up on it now, maybe i'll post later about it.

. It's funny how you dwell on trivialities all the time. "and oh yeah, you made a typo!" As if you win some sort of victory from it. But hey, it's the only thing you can win, so why not go for it. The point isn't so much about the specifics of what i said rather than the idea. The idea is what happens if it comes back? Notice, i say "animals or wherever." I realized the possibility of it not coming from animals because i don't know that much about AIDS, which is why i said "wherever" as a disclaimer. conveniently you ignore that. Good job budday.
