Thanks for all who feel the same way, we can NOT judge these poor people, WHO CARES HOW THEY GOT IT. NOBODY deserves to have this terrible illness. Well, minus murderers and rapists. But society looks at someone with AIDS and goes YUCK! Cancer=sympathy. Not saying we shouldn't give cancer patients sympathy and compassion, but AIDS victims should be treated the same way. I know a lady who worked at a juvenile home for runaways, etc. A girl with AIDS bit her. She did not get AIDS but if she had what would people have thought as soon as they heard, not OH that poor lady was just doing her job. It's even harder for men, people assume things about them right away!!! Say they were a prison guard or something, or just your average bar fight and a man got bit by a person with AIDS, what then?? As a whole, society needs to take a step back and STOP this problem with judgement. I once watched this HBO special, Angels or something like that with AL PACINO, and I HATED IT. Sad but true, it made me depressed and revolted. And I couldn't help it. We are all guilty of judging a book by its cover before we read what is truly inside. Okay getting way too serious here, I am just the kind of person who feels so sorry for the underdog, the wimp in school that always got picked on. Gonna stop now, getting too serious and depressing, just feel so strongly on this issue. HOPING EVERY ONE HAS A HAPPY NEW YEAR and a pain free one at that!!!
