Science **** yeah

Once they take care of the Herp as well carefree sex here I come!

So HIV is cured and Super Clap takes its place as the most dreaded STI?

Time travel might be a better cure. We'll go back to the 80s when everyone was coked up and no one caught anything.

Yes yes, because STDs are the only thing keeping me from having Wilt Chamberlain sex numbers.

Which, coincidentally, is clearly the biggest thing about this announcement.

/smh

...

Optimism is good. Realism is as well. Even the opening sentence uses the words "scientists believe." Not "know" but believe. Different things. There are also unproven variables, cited later in the article. Also, a discovery and mass distribution are wildly different things. Lastly, this Global Post site seems reputable, but do we know that for sure? I realize this kind of skepticism borders on paranoia, but the internet is forcing our hand with this sort of fact and source-checking, and not just with the obvious sites like the Onion and such.

No one saw Demolition Man? Everytime on was cured another one just popped up until they abolished sex all together.

Nah. He just suffers from mild form of paranoid personality disorder. So, he's a border line schizoid, practically.

What Digi said is actually pretty reasonable. Optimism is awesome.

Facts are also awesome.

/epic facepalm

being correct =\= not being condescending.

Generally, Digi only comes on here for one of two reasons, either to talk about how awesome and mature he's gotten now that he doesn't come on here anymore, or to complain about someone's OP.

Anyway, the article is parroted on Fox, MD and the Telegraph... it took me three seconds to find that out on google. As for it "being a possibility", not a single person in this thread has stated nor implied that there was definitely a cure on the way, so pointing out that this is all "just possibilities" is basically just being redundant.

thats not really a diagnosis for paranoid personality disorder though

Was replying to that Styletime lunatic. uhuh

god, there is a quote button for a reason

This was a funny post.

Also, since they've cured the AIDS, I'm going to do heroine from dirty needles while having unprotected butt-sex with a male gorilla. Who said freedom isn't free.

So, what are your two cents on the topic, finally?

what are my thoughts on a potential cheap and universally effective cure to aids?

seriously?

EDIT: meh, I'm unimpressed in general. Aids wasn't that tough of a nut to crack, should have been done ages ago. And really, taxpayer money could go to other things that are more impactful to my life, or other curable diseases. And there is just going to be another disease. In fact, I'm pissed off. How ****ing dare they cure aids, how ****ing dare they.

Oh cool, I've been singled out.

To your point, I've had 33K posts over nearly a decade on KMC. My recent time off notwithstanding, I feel like saying that I "generally" anything is probably a gross simplification. Also, the lone line of posts talking about me taking time off was rather apologetic. I felt bad...still do, to an extent. I gave up some commitments in the RP forums, and some lesser responsibilities in the comic forums. But I liked being gone. Not in a condescending way - KMC's awesome - just in a truthful way. I'll probably be less inclined to post in coming months/years; at least I hope so...I don't get as much enjoyment out of it anymore, fun as it still can be at times. So you're probably reading too much into my tone, or what you perceive as my tone. Maybe the post was heavy-handed. But I've been here too long and made too many internet-friends, and legitimately learned a lot, to condescend to the site as though I'm above it. If you're reading some perceived slight in my words, it's not there. You have my word.

And the sex stuff was a joke, "/smh" and all. I mean, c'mon, you think I actually cared that people were taking it down that path? When I joined - back in the 80's I think - someone told me I needed to include a smilie any time I was joking. Otherwise I'd be reprimanded for being a douche or too serious. Guess he was right.

313 ...that means it's a joke. Even toward you, that I'm poking fun at right now. We good? Yes? No? Babyrapingwolfcabbage? Good, that's settled.

Anyway. Maybe my point(s) was redundant, but it doesn't make it wrong. Nor unnecessary in many circles. Just look at how such announcements are normally received (i.e. read the headline, gloss over the rest, etc.). Maybe I'm preaching to the choir here on KMC. You'll have to forgive me. Old age and a massive ego can ravage the mind, you know.

Yeah. I never said otherwise.

It was a reply to FistofTheNorth, who did imply that Digi was being paranoid...because he asked for facts.

(maybe he was joking or somesuch.)

The only known substance that can "cure" HIV is bleach and I don't see bleach pills being developed anytime soon.

HIV can actually be broken down by soap outside of the body along with many, many other substances, but bleach is not a cure.

In reality, there is a functional cure involving stem cells, but it is more than cost prohibitive for most at this point.

No, wrong. Digi implied so when he wrote "I realize this kind of skepticism borders on paranoia.

"Another guy did it, so there's no way I could have done it too."

Indeed. For the record, I don't think it borders on paranoia. It's just basic rigor, the simplest and easiest way to ensure someone isn't pulling your chain.

This story happens to be corroborated by several other sites, which was pointed out to me with all the aplomb of a serial villain explaining his full-proof plan to the tied-up protagonist:

Good and nice to hear that. It will help those people who infected of the disease.

Here's to a cure.

I am joking, and contained within my joke is the answer to your question.

No, I was asking what your answer would've been if you weren't joking.

I read this thread and I said F it and started having unprotected sex. I now have HIV. I'm going to be OK right?

So, all jokes aside, what do you think about the news?

Well, they probably had the cure the moment the government created hiv to kill black people.

...and homosexuals. cant forget them.

Indeed. Black people and those who have sex with them were just a side benefit. Homersexuals were the target from the beginning.

what if the intended target was actually men who like having sex with chimpanzees?

Then the focus for chimps and gay men would've increased and monitored. cause we can have homosexual hominoids running around rapin' every man now, can we.
