Travel / Re: Exploring Thai Cuisine On Trip. Suggestions? by AqRiUsAge(f): 3:43am On Feb 08, 2018
I'm in Bangkok at the moment. To be honest, you won't have a hard time finding places to eat as their dishes are generally delicious and they have mannnnny restaurants everywhere you go.

They also have many street foods. I'd suggest you try those too.

If I come by any particularly awesome restaurant, I'll come back to share it with you.

Madrid, Spain, Jan 6, 2009 / 12:10 pm (CNA) .- The Anti-AIDS Independent Committee in Spain has called for behavioral changes among homosexuals in order to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS, as 2007 data confirms that the disease is more prevalent in the Same-sex population. The organization pointed out that although ten of Spain’s autonomous communities do not send statistics on infections to the National AIDS Registry, the data “shows that Same-sex transmission made up 42.8% of the diagnoses made in 2007, with a constant rise from 26.4% in 2003. The increase is even sharper if women are excluded: man-loving-men have gone from 34.7% to 55.6% of the men diagnosed in one year.” “Thus, in 2007, for the first time since 1994, there were more infections through Same-sex activity than heterosexual,” it said. The organization criticized government campaigns that promote condom use, “with a message aimed indiscriminately at the population in general and young people in particular, as if everyone were equally at risk, regardless of their habits.” Such a message only provokes a “false sense of security” and does not reduce at-risk behavior, they said. Likewise, the organization pointed out that homosexuals have the lowest rate of late diagnosis, at 26.7%, and that the “disproportionately high rate of infections can only be explained by much higher promiscuity and a higher risk of Same-sex contact.” Therefore, the group said, if the risk of contraction is high “and the promotion of condom use does not work, it would be logical to consider a different campaign that encourages a change in behavior in homosexuals. But that would be the most politically incorrect option of all.”
lets see what initiatives they come up with.

HONG KONG, February 17, 2009
(LifeSiteNews.com) - Male Same-sex sex is
"fuelling" the rapid rise in HIV/AIDS
infections in Asia, according to a recent
report by the Western Pacific Branch of the
World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO
warned today that the HIV/AIDS epidemic
may take a major turn for the worse in Asia.
The central role of male Same-sex sex in
the HIV spread has prompted WHO’s
Western Pacific office, in collaboration with
the United Nations Development Program,
UNAIDS and the Hong Kong Department of
Health, to implement AIDS prevention
programs in light of the unique
vulnerability of people with same-sex
attractions.
"Studies show that at present, the
proportion of HIV infections being
transmitted among men who Be Intimate with
men is larger and more significant than we
had originally believed," said Dr Massimo
Ghidinelli, WHO Regional Adviser in HIV/AIDS
and Sexually Transmitted Infections. "Action
needs to be taken now if a major increase
in HIV/AIDS cases is to be averted. We need
to target HIV prevention strategies, together
with better access to health services, for
men who Be Intimate with men (MSM)."
<------- looks to me like Ghidinelli and I are speaking thesame language
The release cites a 2007 report showing an
increase in AIDS infections across Asia, and
mentions China in particular, where the risk
of infection by active Same-sex men is
45 times higher than for men in general.
The WHO noted that Asia is thought to have
the world’s largest number of actively
Same-sex men, estimated at 10 million
. <--- Just a point to note: this cant be proven since the census to determine the number of homosexual people in all countries hasnt been done since its illegal in alot of countries.
China’s official news agency Xinhua also
announced today that AIDS took more
Chinese lives than any other deadly
infectious disease last year. Xinhua said
there were a total of 264,302 HIV/AIDS
cases by the end of September last year.
The United Nations estimates 700,000
Chinese were HIV positive by the end of
2007.
The organizers will meet with HIV/AIDS
specialists from Asian governments,
regional experts and representatives from
nongovernment organizations from 18 to
20 February, when they will consider
strategies to deliver better services to MSM <---------[b][color=#990000]wow, great idea! my point exactly!

rhymz:

It is obvious that you are an ignorant Hom'osexual that has for convenience sake chosen to intentionally ignore the fact that the hige spread of HIV amongst ho'mosexuals is due lagely to their habit and not all these excuses you are given.
I posted these two articles to show you the folly in your illogical argument. Most of what you claim are the reason for the spread are at best your own lame explanation to support your cause. First of all, the only way you can tell if sb is Same-sex is if they choose to let you know about through their display either in their mannerism or sense of style. Nobody wears an "I am G'AY" inscription on their head, so how are they prevented from getting education about protecting themselves from HIV and Aids?? The ostracism or stigma attached to the disease is not perculiar to h'omosexuals alone, anybody suspect to have contracted the virus is at a risk of being stigmatized or ostracized, it has nothing to do with your $ex orientation. You g'ays need to stop playing this victim card it is fast becoming redundant, you preach so much about human rights, yet you lot careless about how people feel when you go on TV to promote your deviant habit and make it look ok to young kid who hitherto do not know anything about homosexuals. How come they don't emphasize cure or prevention??

Rhymz, really, there is no need to get angry. Truth is, we're all ignorant of one thing or another, are we not? You may claim that I'm ignorant in this case, but that'd only mean that you BELIEVE that am ignorant of the point you're trying to make. May I remind you then, that that would also mean that you're ignorant of MY point? That may be something to consider. Okay, moving on,

To clarify, I am not homosexual. Believe it or not, one does not have to be a homosexual to realize that can love too. Now you dont have to believe me. If believing that am a homosexual makes you feel better, then do be my guest. Being a homosexual is not a plague, and neither is calling me one an insult.

It certainly beats being a hypocrite.

YES its due to their habit. PLEASE do re-read my post if you need to. Here is a recap of my opinion as to why they have higher HIVAIDS rate in homosexual communities: because they lack the support and (anti HIVAIDS-related) healthcare services that heterosexuals have. You dont have to agree with this, but that does not change the truth.

This topic is one that I feel strongly about, and have done my research on. Allow me to share my findings with you;

You cant always tell a person's sexual orientation by their mannerisms. Neither can you always tell by their sense of style. Truth is, there is no true way to tell, as you agreed to. There arent enough studies on homosexuality to assist us to that understanding.

How are they prevented?

This is a good question.

I myself, wouldnt have questioned that myself. But I attended a conference recently where I learned from this presentation that when folks go to the hospital for healthcare services and are have health history interviews, no one ever asks (a male patient, for example):" how is your partner", "how often does he use a condoms?". The dominant belief is that there is no need to address this, because the assumption is that every patient is straight, see. Hence why homosexuals fly under the radar, and are often missed. Research shows that homosexuals are afraid of accessing healthcare services (even the ones who DO test positive) due to popular beliefs that they are responsible for the HIVAIDS pandemic in the first place. The story of "patient zero" certainly doesnt help their population as it has given people the reason to stigmatize homosexuals as being HIVAIDS infested. Studies show that people with HIVAIDS are often stigmatized even by healthcare professionals (with whom everyone would supposedly be able to find some solace and acceptance, right? wrong!). Imagine a ("flaming"wink gay man going to a hospital to learn more about or get treatment for HIVAIDS in a healthcare facility; chances are, he'd be even much more likely to be stigmatized and possibly ridiculed (Awa & Yamishita, 2008; Mighten, 2009; Thomas, Nyamathi & Swaminathan, 2009; and Shambley-Ebron & Boyle, 2006)! Who in their right mind would want to ask for help knowing that they're hated and that they'd likely be exposed and put to death? Would and does it surprise me to learn that homosexuals are given the short end of the deal or denied HIVAIDS due to their sexual orientation? Not in the least bit.

Another factor to note is that the greatest determinant to one's health, is poverty. In a country like Nigeria where homophobia is the law, you're likely to see alot of "out" homosexuals disowned or ostracized. How then are these folks supposed to access health when they're without their social support? Who CARES about health when belle no full? Am sure Maslow's would agree; health isnt a priority when you dont even know where your meals go come from. But hey, sex is! cheesy

But hey, enough of my blabbing. Do consider this however; the countries with the highest rate of homophobic people, also have the highest rate of HIVAIDS. Coincidence? I think not! Jamaica (where homophobia is said to be the culture,) has the highest rate of HIVAIDS in the Americas. sub-Saharan African countries are similar in that sense. Botswana's HIVAIDS rate for example, is as high as 38% of the population with an average life expectancy of 22 years old.

Long live love, Rhymz. You say that "you gays" (lmao I am glad that you're finally telling me what my sexual orientation is. Thanks for helping with the discovery) need to stop publicizing "our" (i might as well admit to it, as you seem to be so sure) homosexuality because we're corrupting kids. Have you ever wondered what the constant watching of heterosexual shows on TV does to a homosexual child? Or wait o, do you think that homosexuality is something new? Mr/Mrs/Ms Rhymz, need I introduce you to the Sambian tribe in Papua New Guinea?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2tcLZ2N02o <---- click here to learn more about the Sambi tribe.

Do you think that these people watched homosexuality on TV to learn it? Oh wait, what about the countless homosexuals who have lived long before the times of technology, who practiced homosexuality secretly? Do you think that they were taught it? They had NO ONE to watch practice homosexuality on TV, YET, they were homosexuals. So, how did that happen? Do you think that the 2-spirited people of Aboriginal cultures who are well respected people in their communities who cross dress and practice homosexual acts were taught how to be 2-spirited? Are hijras and kothis (homosexual cross dressers in the Indian culture whose culture has been preserved for thousandsssss of years) influenced by TVs? Ha!

I am not here to change your mind. That is not my goal. However, if I had not voiced my opinion, I would have been an enabling bystander, and that, I didnt want to be.

I laugh when people ignorantly say
their depraved $e.xual act does not
harm anybody; do you know that the
homo$exual group have the high
est
incidence of HIV and AIDS. They are like
50times more likely to contract the disease than any group this is
due largely to their high prosmiscuity
and very lewd $ex.ual tastes. A lot of
them target childrien between the
ages of 5 and 10 and are closet
paedophiles. What many people dont
understand about homo$exualism is its very insidious effects on both family system, culture and moral standards. It is obvios the group has an agenda to infilterate every nook and cranny to force people to accept them.
The group is a very
powerful group with an agenda to
forcfully accept their very offensive
lifestyle on straight people. In the
event you don't agree with their
views, they label you as intolerant,
misinformed, not confident of your
own sexuality, backward. . Blabla . .
Some of these have even been
displayed here by their proponents,
their new definition of "intolerance" is
not agreeing or accepting their views
and way of life. They have greatly
penetrated the media, homosexualism
is now portrayed as normal, people
are encouraged to openly admit they
are g'ay at any slight hint of
lewd and weird $ex.ual yearnings, they make
sure crimes commited by
homosexuals don't get mentioned in
mainstream media or at best gets little
attention but exaggerate crimes
commited on homo'sexuals. Any politician
that criticizes this deviant group is
doomed politically, he is labelled all
sorts of racist names and soon
destroyed politically. They teach
childrien in school about Same-sex
life and give them the wrong notion
that makes the act seem attractive
and hip hence the surging number of
"made" Same-sex converts as opposed
to the congenital genetic disorder
they are quick to blame for their
deviant behaviour. No we will not let
our own society and values
degenerate to such a despicable
height.

Let me assist you to a better understanding. The reason why homosexuals are at increased risk for STDs (HIVAIDS especially) isnt because they're more promiscuous. Heterosexuals are JUST as promiscuous. Denial doenst get us anywhere so please, lets drop it for a second. The reason they're at increased risk is because of the stigma that they often experience. They're subjected to the shame of having to hide their love for one another. It is different for them. AND the reason why heterosexuals have less HIVAIDS rate is because they have the benefit of preventative health-care services (anti-HIVAIDS) that are provided to them. Homosexuals often (especially in African countries) lack that benefit. There is NO place for them to go to get taught about how to protect themselves. There is no place to go to gain support. Do you understand that? They're a neglected group. What we fail to realize is that until we agree to accomodate their needs, HIVAIDS will CONTINUE to rise. They're alot of bisexual men and women, or gay/lesbian men and women who have sex with people of the opposite sex in the name of conforming to their societal expectations. These people often fail to use protection. Heterosexuals are NOT and will NOT be safe, till they decide to accept AND accommodate homosexuals' needs. nuffsaid

And please, allow me to correct you: homosexuality and pedophilia are NOT related in ANY way. Hence why we often see heterosexuals who molest OPPOSITE sex children, and pedophiles who would tell you that really, they're NOT attracted to men or women who are in thesame age group as they are. Good luck with getting to a new understanding on this.

Senseless Nigerians. The reactions here are appalling to say the least.  Many of the arguments about man-lover here are vaguely made up to fit into sentiments. It's a shame many Nigerians are still living in the past claiming to have knowledge of life. I don't blame most of them because they are ignorant of facts- it is an infectious disease indeed.

Babangida and friends, pastors and family are manipulating the people, stealing wealth of the nations and no such reactions have been meted to them in high magnitude in this forum. Some foolish ones are threatening to kill them - and see that as not sin(many will kill in religion name and think they are doing the will of their Gods). What a backward people with backward mentality! What are you guys problem with the way they look? Many of you complaining about their looks are uglier in comparison.

Grow up guys!

If for nothing else, folks should be proud of them for standing up for what they believe in. There was a time in history when Black folks were believed to be sub-human and demonic. There was a time when we were worth nothing more than dogs. History is full of (human) errors in judgements. Eventually, we'll get to realize that judgement really isnt up to us. God is VERY capable of stricking the sinners dead if God deems it necessary. I say till then, let these folks live as they please. Until a homosexual comes up to me and tries to sexually harrass me (against my will o), I have nothing against them. When I love, no one stands in my way. I cant imagine how I'd feel if anyone tried. Chances are, it wouldnt stop me from loving. Knowing me, I would protest too. Why Nigeria stands against this and not against pressing issues such as poverty, terrorism, 419ing, and a host of other MUCH MORE pressing issues is beyond me. Oh wAIt! Of course, it isnt hard to understand, this law isnt passed for any other reason but for distraction. While we're here arguing and posting on this, some so called government officials are pocketing bills in their accounts, and robbing us blind, and we're busy with such news as homophobic laws.
