Let's solve the AIDs pandemic in Africa
I've been watching KMC GDF for sometime. I have been truly impressed by the high level debating that goes on here. So many truly intelligent people. I think you should put these skills to good use. I truly believe the great minds here capable of solving world issues (at least online). Let's start with the African AIDs pandemic. Please put your minds to this. How can we solve it?

A more realistic cause, find a way to stop the rampant "sockery"... you know, it can be a test of KMC's think-tank; what it's capable of, if successful, the Cranial Colossus's can take on African AIDS.

You sure about that? I'm fairly certain they believe it exist, they're just ignorant* in the ways to avoid it/lack the means.
I've seen footage of Religious heads in Africa telling the people in their community that using condoms was a affront to God. Sick and sad all at once.
* I don't mean this as Africans being unintelligent.
I had this great idea... With a kind of Hitler edge... But it would solve the problem..
Make blood tests mandatory for everyone, then get Australia, the UK or some other large island, push it's inhabitants out, place the AIDs sufferers on the island and let them live out their own lives, start their own society, create a government as if it were just another country... Just one that prevents people leaving or visiting.
1. This would cut off and kill AIDs...
2. Puts all AIDs patients together, allowing them to have sex with whomever they like with no worrying about infecting them.
3. Them being altogether also means we can get the antiviral drugs to them easier.
The only real con is that it's probably against about a half a dozen human rights.

Well, you know what they say, necessity is the mother of progress. Though I'd prefer if it wasn't Australia that had to be depopulated - New Zealand perhaps?

No, I think a lot of the people who have it believe it is real. As Robtard said it is more a lack of education.
A great first step would be trying to slow the infection rate, which would benefit from education and a better system of regulation in order to get protection/contraceptives to the people.
After that, in the absence of a cure it is a matter of caring for those who have it while trying to make sure fewer new people contract it, are born with it etc.

I don't know why, but I just get the feeling there is sarcasm burried in there somewhere.

before looking at this, pls note that another web site (many years ago) stated that Jewish/Muslim believers in Africa weren't getting AIDS compared to the other religions. Why? Removal of the foreskin, having the foreskin is thought to be in incubator for disease, if i find the link, i'll provide it.
