"Becuase AIDS is a disease of choice. Yes, a disease of choice. "

Kayz, I say this to you respectfully, but you need to check your facts more carefully before mounting an opinion.

There are millions -- MILLIONS -- of people who died of AIDS as a result of blood transfusions. Also, lots of medical staff contracted AIDS in the course of treating patients.

You also need to think more carefully about the implications of your positions. For example, if we stop funding AIDs research because it;s a disease of choice, we should stop funding lung cancer research because most of the people who contract it are smokers.
