Europe on verge of AIDS crisis...

news.bbc.co.uk...

AIDS is picking up more steam in Europe. At this rate, countries with relatively low aids infections will have to shut immigration. This is scary business, and what's even more scary is that there's still no cure...

Don't know how bad the situation is but the media is playing this up all the time now.

I think just about every place in the world is having a problem.

I can see where aids is one of those sleeper things though, it can sneak up on you and then before you know it you are in big trouble.

Although it's not a critical epidemic in the US, we might want to start testing people we let inside of our borders.

I find it intriguing more people aren't worried about this...

The thing is that nobody thinks they have HIV until they get it. (i.e, the people who get aren't doing much worrying) And since we usually operate on the principal It's Not My Problem, it's always to late when we start to care. I bet they'll be a lot of people dying, in waves, from skin cancer, other types of cancer and AIDs in the next 10 years. A lot of people.
