A google search suggests the enzymes in saliva do, but then the amount of saliva you have in your mouth wouldn't be enough to kill all of the virus in an average load, so to speak. Aren't the rates of transmission through oral low anyway? Don't know the reasons why.
Looks like it's complicated. See for example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19114861

A fair assumption that the USA has the best medicines in the world... as long as you can cough up the dough for it (which basically makes the USA a developing world country in these matters; not much interested in debating this point). You replied with a link to a fairly blatant UK case; we've had some blatant cases as well. We've also had a lot less grievous cases as well, which are in fact what I was talking about. I could provide some link but they would probably make no sense to non-Finns.

How this might go down with the FTB feminist crowd should be interesting, considering the implications of consent when the sexual partner hasn't been given the full information necessary for informed consent...

Yes. And I need to remind folks commenting over there, assuming you still think it necessary, using any kind of identifiable credential is stupid - they tamper with it and your signature remains. I would even go as far as never connecting to FfTB directly, but only through a proxy. They do make creationists look decidedly less dumb.

The pope told African woman not to require their husbands to wear condoms even if he's HIV positive. I'm sure the FfTBloggers were upset about that. Now one of them is having posts about this shit? Un F-ing Believable.

That's pretty much it. I was going to say if your partner didn't ask you if you were a sex killer is it her fault if you choose to rape and murder her?
After all, knowingly infecting someone with HIV is attempted murder at the very least.
The really important thing is to not wear a T shirt that says "I feel safe and welcome at TAM", when you are fucking AIDS into your partner. The other person's feelings about this really matter. If they're not too concerned about the T shirt, but get upset that you gave them HIV because they thought you might have told them in advance, then their little fee fees are just the result of bigotry and can hence be ignored, or disparaged.

That's a fair summary of their hierarchy of concerns, isn't it? The responsibility is on me for my reaction to being infected with HIV, but it's on the other person if they wear a T shirt I don't like. This makes perfect fucking sense, doesn't it?

This gives away the fact that you have never been in a firefight up close and personal. The sheer random shit that can go down in an instant can take your breath away when you think about it later, not to mention give you the shakes.

I will let the ex-combat people here tell you about it, though in my experience not many people feel inclined to talk about it.
If you're talking about the incident at around 1:45, then 1) I don't see any particular evidence the shots missed, and 2) are you questioning how a person could possibly have missed his shots right after he was hit by a car?
I assume you are talking to cunt and not me.

I know from experience someone can shoot at you from five feet away, and still miss (aimed at my head insted of my chest). But then I was anything but a stationary target.

Anyway, I am going to drop out of this now. Should have said nothing actually.

Ugh. That's sexism Ms. Kazez. Yes, when giving a presentation one might "dress up" a bit. Anyone might want to wear a suit perhaps, but to ignore the content of a talk and presentation to concentrate on "coordinated hair colour and colour of lectern" puts women back years. Just imagine something like "Dick gave a talk on evo psych but I didn't pay much attention to the talk as he was wearing a dashing red tie with a wonderful cream colour shirt and bold tweed jacket."
But, but...isn't it only natural that they caught her eye? Rebecca's hair and the lectern were such a tempting berry color she just wanted to pick them. :P

But like... who the fuck doesn't do that? If I am sick I immediately inform people around me that I'm ill. I don't shake hands if I think I have a cold. And I definitely fucking stay home if I think it's anything worse. Holy fucking shit! There is someone in one of our offices who has a lowered immune system and I'm sure there are plenty of other people around the place who do too. It's common courtesy!

But I also don't think that's a fucking appropriate comparison HF is fucking tarded.

One of my HIV+ friends was courted by the whole poz community and found it fucked up as shit. He was like... why would I want to risk infecting someone after I experienced it? Like wtf.

This HIV stuff is fucking crazy!

For those not familiar, you should read about Simon Mol. Choice passages from Wikipedia:
On January 5, 2007 Mol was taken into custody by the Polish police and charged with infecting his sexual partners with HIV. According to the Rzeczpospolita newspaper, he was identified with HIV back in 1999 while living in a refugee shelter, but Polish law does force an HIV carrier to reveal their disease status. While living in Poland, Mol allegedly persuaded women to have unprotected sex with him by claiming that using a condom was racist.
And the logical conclusion:
After his arrest, Mol denied any knowledge of being an HIV carrier and accused the police of racism.
Simon Mol died on October 10th 2008 in Warsaw, after having refused treatment for his disease.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dezidor/Simon_Mol (I don't know why it's on a user's page, it must have been removed for not being PC enough. But there are many other sources, and it was a big thing in Poland at the time).

BTW, until proven otherwise, I will consider the FC(N) to be approving of Crom and HF's message. After all, if we are scum for not condemning bad werdz when they occure here, I don't see why they shouldn't be festering scumbags for not condemning that horrible piece of shit post and comments.

OH FUCKLOOOOOOOL!!!

Thanks, that's really something I needed after all that grim shit about AIDS.

The end of the post is...beautiful, just beautiful:
“That’s preposterous,”said one high-ranking member of the biker organizing committee. “We were having a party, and these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us, called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do? We invited them to the party!
What could be more friendly than that? You know, just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not care about
inclusiveness. Personally, I think it shows a lack of character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over backwards to make them feel welcome.”
When confronted with the allegations of force-feeding the activist’s meat, using them as ad hoc latrines, leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and ‘farting on their heads,’ the organizer declined to comment in detail. “That’s just our secret hand shake,” assured the organizer.

I've responded to Twitter so then can investigate.

It may be a coincidence that all these suspensions seem to revolve around Melody Hensley recent hissy-fit over "criticism = harassment", attempt to false flag Wooly Bumblebee's video and the recent Empress Has No Clothes moment regarding Becky, but I very much doubt it is a coincidence.
Are they using alternate accounts to make these reports or their own? If they're using dummy accounts it doesn't say much for Twitter that they'll act on such a report. If they're using their own, I would hope making repeated false claims would backfire on them. I don't Twattle myself, so I'm not sure how it works.

I've decided FTB is really a Milgram experiment, to see what level of insanity their readers will accept before they'll risk the banhammer and speak up. And now they have their answer: any level. Any level of insanity, at all.

You get banned for arguing it's not ok to cut bits off baby's dicks, but they'll let you guest post on Crommunist if you argue you should be able to give people aids. And Crommunist is supposed to be the fucking reasonable one! To quote Sara Silverman: "What the cock is that shit?"

You are too optimistic JLB. They are just idiots. They don't care about the arguments but who is issuing them. If halffish's post was written by a "sic" white dude, he would have been ripped apart. In their world, if you are a minority (or a woman) and whine about things being unfair to another minority, you will be respected regardless of the merits your argument.

Sacha's dailykos link a while back has taught me that the first thing to do when I read something that causes me to make either this face :lol: or this face :o and sometimes even this face :x is to check sources for other verificaiton.

FTB - an experiment

#32352

Post by Dick Strawkins »

I've been pondering on a particular question that's been bugging me for a while about Freethoughtblogs.
They began the network as a breakaway from scienceblogs after National Geographic bought that particular network, and because of this I always considered them to be something similar - a scienceblogging network, just one with a left-wing political stance.
It's an easy assumption to make - after all there are many skeptic blogs written by scientists
- and FTB is pretty much the same sort of thing, isn't it?

Well, is it?

There is one way to answer this. Check how many of the Freethought blog authors are actually working scientists.
So I went through their list and here's the result.

Currently there are 36 bloggers on the FTB network.

Of those only three bloggers are qualified working scientists, Mano Singham (who isn't part of the social justice warrior militia), Comrade Physioprof (who seems to be a recipe obsessed lunatic who seems to use a lab monkey with a nervous twitch to write his posts for him) and, of course, Peezus.

There are four students - two psychology students (is that really a subject? - someone ask Rebecca) Kylie Sturgess and Miriam, the new blogger, and two biological science students, Jen McCreight and Crommunist (both of whom almost never write anything in depth about science.)

The rest, 29 out of 36, are non scientists.

Is it any wonder there's such a lack of enthusiasm for scientific qualifications over there.

Honestly though this does appear to be the most batshit mental example of this.

I mean this is like some world class mental up in here.

In FTB world the only privilege is less privilege.
Can't wrap my head around this HIV shit. . One year on from the inanity of Elevatorgate and we have arguments that it's the fault of the "clear" sexual partner for contracting HIV because they didn't ask beforehand.

If a person with HIV is willing to unsuspectingly infect a partner for the sake of getting laid what on Earth makes Half Fish think that same person would honestly admit to having HIV anyway?
Imagine if just before sex you asked your new partner " BTW do you have HIV?" and they said "Funny you should ask but yes I do!"....... Just WTF?

Totally agree about their weird victimhood-reverse-hierarchy thing. Most of their arguments revolve around measuring who has the shortest WCoA. I don't think they're idiots, though (not most of them, anyway). It would be a lot simpler if they were. It's this "social justice" bullshit. They're more interested in being righteous than being right. They're so convinced of their moral superiority they can justify any measure to themselves. A lot like religion, come to think of it. My 2 cents, at any rate.

This is the galactic douche level stuff. Seriously. I even wrote an angry pissed off rant/comment on Crommunist blog but then it asked me for my login info and I really didn't feel like recovering my password for that shithole.

I get the feeling that Crommunist is just taking advantage of the guaranteed trainwreck that is Half Fishie just to up his page views.
I haven't seen any of the rest of the FTB crowd join in with the same arguments. In other words, he's really just trolling, and using a mentally ill person he knows as the weapon of choice.

Testimony of one of Simon Mol's victims:
Gazeta Wyborcza:

Monika O., literature student who met with Simon Mol 11 months earlier, contacted the police in November this year.

- I was attracted by journalism, I wanted to write about Migrator Theater – she describes. – I was fascinated by human rights activist fighting with racial stereotypes. Soon we started to meet, went to bed. I didn’t suspect that he could infect me with HIV virus and even less, hide from me that he is infected. I also thought that suspecting him of being infected would equal giving way to stereotypes. Thus we made love unprotected.
(underline mine)

So, this is where these SJWs want us to end up? No thanks!

Incidentaly, suspecting someone of being infected just because they're black is stereotyping. As is suspecting someone of being a rapist just because they're male is stereotyping. Consistency much, SJWs? Oh, no, wait, I know that one! It's because white males are priviledged, right? Always, no exception, right?

Fuck off!

(I now realise I am more tolerant and affable when drunk. Maybe being sober is not such a bad idea when confronted to such a load of bullshit. I might even be knurd at this point)

Also, when having sex with someone you should have a list of all contagious diseases, because you know, if you don't ask, they won't have to tell you. I guess I'll have to carry one of these in my drawers for my potential sexual partners to fill out:

In every universe it is discrimination. But it is neither an illegal nor immoral form of discrimination. It is quite sane. People seem to conflate discrimination with racism since the words are frequently paired.

It is not even as simple as preferring a HIV- partner.
Knowing someone is HIV+ means that you can adopt particular sexual practices with them that minimize the spread of the virus.

I honestly cannot see the general FTB crowd agreeing with half-fishy here - it's just too easy for others to switch the argument around on and ask, "what would your response be if it was some guy on 'A Voice for Men'?"

If I have to make a choice between endangering my health (and potentialy my life) and giving way to stereotype, I sure as heel won't give a fuck about someone's feefees.

deLurch: In France, "positive action" is called "discrimination positive".

If not, they have to reinstate your account.
No, of course not. The only possible thing is "aggressive following behavior" which seems to happen when you have too many people in your reply-to. I guess an anti-spam measure. However, I only replied to those taking part in the conversation.

One theory of how people are gaming the system is if enough people block you in a short enough space of time the system automatically suspends. However, that would suggest people began to follow in order as a set up to block en masse, but I seriously doubt that someone like Oolon has the organizational skill to pull that off and Melody Hensley couldn't get together a significant enough lynching party to put a dent in Wolly Bumblebee's video on her.

Getting off suspension may take a bit, as I refuse to "captcha" an admission of guilt and have asked Twitter to look into it.

I'm not saying some of these clowns wouldn't if they could.

They've been abusing the twitter system for a long time now. Quite a few of us have had our accounts suspended through false flags.

Took me about a week or so to be up again. I informed twitter they are being abused by radical political fanatics.
