Re: 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?
We can't really force our government to contribute anymore than it's willing to, or has already planned to.
If we truly want to make a difference, I guess a Fundraiser may be a good way. Raise enough money to pay for needed medications, so that more meds can be sent.
You know...I just thought about something long ago. Take New York for example. Several millions of people live in the City. If every single person gave $1.00 to the cause, we'd have several million dollars worth to the cause.
Now....I'm assuming you're addressing KMC alone. I am not sure how many KMC members are on the forums all together, but I am sure we can all come up with some significant amount to the cause....assuming everyone cares.
But the Webmaster and Mods would have to be incharge/involved in this course of action...obviously.

We wouldn't send cash. Only credit or check.
It would be sent to an official AIDS campaign fund, but it would have to be registered like any other charity would.
Or, we can simply send our own money to AIDS charities which already exist....but how many of us on KMC have those kind of things on our minds ?

I decide new everyday not to do **** about it.

ok, connecting the dots...rape, what is the motive for rape, as someone suggested that it's rape that's causing the rise in AIDS in Africa. So, I thought about it, wondering, "why would rape be culturally sound/neutral?", as it has to be culturally 'ok' in order for it to go on as the poster suggested, unless the idea of the other person's will (mind/thoughts) is ignored and the desire for domination/dominion is more important then respecting free will.
you clearly have no concept of the realities of the south african situation regarding rape...it has nothing to do with it being culturally sound and everything to do with it being virtually impossible to prove in their legal system and thus offenders virtually never get caught.

Blacks are physically stronger than Germans, and also have much larger penises. They have advantages over you.
True. On average. I assume. But, it is still unlikely that an AIDS infected African is going to save my life. If anything it is just as likely as them killing me, so it cancels each other out.
Originally posted by Bardock42I thought that too, but I still believe in equal opportunity. Why should we have a world where some parts are rich and living, whereas others, are poor and dying. Shouldn't we make a world where everyone has a great life, not just ourselves. The world would be undeniably, much better that way.
Extremely unlikely.

😆You're fkn hilarious ! Only a talented comedian can make something as ugly as Racism so funny.

I agree, but the problem is most people don't care.
If something is not part of my life, then why should it matter to me.---This is the kind of thinking that so many people adhere to.
And this is the ultamate problem. Most people don't see other humans as thier brothers and sisters, most people see other human beings as strangers of which we owe no responsibility or empathy to.
Only when someone already knows what its like to suffer so greatly, can they truly have empathy for the suffering of another. People who are generally spoiled, are also selfish, and think very inward. Once they learn humility, they start to open up to the lives and realities of others.
