Thugged Out, I really fail to see your logic...by extension of it, we should stand by and watch as the entire African Continent gets decimated by the disease. Furthermore, it is called a "poor man's disease" is large measure due to the horrendous fact that the poor are the one's that are most likely to die a much earlier death. People like Magic Johnson, Greg Louganis, Rock Hudson etc are all people who live in the limelight and have all the money in the world; therefore, can afford the AIDS cocktails that cost about $130/pill...not an easy dream for most people in Nepal..which is exactly why we as Nepalese with half a brain and some semblance of heart need to work doubly hard to ensure that people have the dignity of compassion and understanding given to them! Did you ever stop to think that people NEVER become sex workers by choice--they are a victim of their circumstance. You have been lucky to have the benefits of an education and never had to resort to selling your soul and body in order to have a decent meal..don't look with derision upon others that have been compelled to make the difficult decisions in order to survive. Don't ask me why I insist in trying to make sense to a person who is adamant to remain ignorant ...maybe it's because I can imagine how hard you and your parent's had to work for your education and I for one believe it's time you made use of it!
