TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

BADGE OF HONOR

HIV lives in white blood cells.  When that happens, the WBCs cease to function properly.  More HIV=fewer working WBCs=shitty immune system=death by secondary infection.

Infection requires a fairly high dose of the virus, so it's a delicate balance between keeping the host alive and replicating enough to create an infectious dose in blood or semen.

I forget sometimes that people don't know all the mechanics.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

Really funny.


Homophobe.
One by one, we break the sheep from their Iron Bar Prisons and expand their imaginations, make them think for themselves. In turn, they break more from their prisons. Eventually, critical mass is reached. Our key word: Resolve. Evangelize with compassion and determination. And realize that there will be few in the beginning. We are hand picking our successors. They are the future of Discordianism. Let us guide our future with intelligence.

I laughed, but then I was only about 14 at the time.

Definitely.  That was pretty much the impetus of the whole debate about sex education, handing out condoms in school, etc.  It was really scary for some so they wanted to make sure kids knew how to protect themselves, because kids will be kids and will have sex despite the parent's pleadings to abstain. 

But, the Christian right weren't scared enough and decided that was sending the wrong signals to the kids.

Which kind of seques to the debate in the present about the cervical cancer vaccine. 

But, yeah, there was definitely alot of PSA's and the like back in the 80s.  Now, it seems to have gone the other way where there's a perception that it isn't that big a deal anymore and that it's only Africa's problem.  Damned Short Attention Span Society that we live in.

It's not funny because it is true.

I guess we need another celebrity to die of it before it becomes a "problem" again.

Would it be safe to say that The Machine(tm) has a powerful affect on what is on the national and global agendas, if it doesn't outright control it?

Holy shit yeah. It scared me so much that, to this day, I've never been able to have a physical relationship with an iceberg.
