Okay, my posts above were obnoxious. I blew it out of proportion. Of course I don't want people to die of diseases. I hope they find a cure for AIDS. But still, I would like you to comment on the behavior of these people who contract AIDS. Are you gonna say that you're not gonna pass moral judgement on their behavior? I am talking about people who have sex with prostitutes; people who cheat on their wives and have extramarital affairs; people who are promiscuous; people who do drugs, etc. I concede that we should help people with AIDS, no matter their social backgrounds. My grandparents started out with only Rs. 50, so I totally sympathize with poor people. However, I don't feel sorry for people who contracted AIDS by indulging in any of the decadent practices I mentioned above. I do, however, feel sorry for all the sex workers who are being forced to have sex with strangers against their will. Okay, be truthful, Nepaali. Do you feel sorry for people who contracted AIDS by having sex with prostitutes? I just don't feel sorry for them. How about people who do drugs? I don't feel sorry for them either. Sex workers? I feel sorry for only those who are in the business against their will( I would suppose so is the case for most Nepali sex workers--I feel sorry for these poor gals), not for those who do it for easy bucks. The AIDS problem can be alleviated through common sense. To me, it's obvious that a certain group of people with certain behavioral traits are more vulnerable to HIV than, say, people who are moral. Nepal is a pretty conservative society. Therefore, given this fact, AIDS will never destroy Nepal(or India) like it has certain African nations. I just don't see it happening. It will mainly destroy the morally corrupt. Researchers who write books regarding this don't seem to take cultural differences between Africa and Asia, into account. 1% in India, however, is still a pretty big number though.
