    So this a question that was posted in a non-debate forum.
    The arguments have gotten kinda interesting, so I was wondering what S-B thought of the issue.
    <div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE</div><div class=\'quotemain\'> [What if] We took everyone on earth who was infected with HIV/AIDS and killed them?

    Sure we would be killing quite a few people, but if the epidemic is going to continue to spread, wouldn&#39;t it be a situation similar to the guides who left that cat on Everest last week... &#39;We had to leave one man to save 3.&#39;

    No will never work. Epedemic will just start a new generation of infections.

    wow- that would take a sh*t load of money to buy all the testing supply&#39;s to test everyone in the world for HIV. Then people would go into hiding because they don&#39;t want to get killed. It would never work on a real-world level.

    On the other hand, if everyone was instantly killed who had HIV, then how would you bury all of the bodies without someone contracting the desease in the process?

    If the bodies were instantly vaporized, then I see that it could work- but we don&#39;t have that technology, and it would be way too communistic.

    Well that&#39;s rather inhumane, poor bastards that happened to get infected. Aside from epidemics, why not kill everyone with hereditary diseases and other "bad" genes while we are at it, some real "cleansing". Sheesh.

    Just a thought, I think it might backfire, and cause some kind of emotional turmoil through out country, the family member of the ones that died might revolt against the government and then all hell will break loose...

    I&#39;m gonna go ahead and say the obvious, more condoms, wear em.
    But how far did we get with that?

    ."..and are you still taunted and ignored by your circum-muthafuckin-stances?" Habibi

    I said what, what in the butt?
