My concerns are VERY similar to Sula's........
In threads about AIDS......we drift to the morality of prostitution. Threads, these days take a life of their own. But it is easier to argue about the morality of prostitution, and not look to deal with a reasonable plan to help stop the spread of AIDS.
I will confess, some of the threads I started, IE: Nuke the Gay Whales and the Gay Penguin thread prove my point. Look at the number of hits they have, just by the words in the topic. Are the hits up higher than death penalty, Amnesty?
Sula, I would LOVE to see you do a thread, not for DEBATE, but for you to teach us about Africa. I know where you are is in an area being decimated by the disease as well as economic conditions, or at least that is what I am reading. I agree with you, it may fall off the wayside, but if you turn it into a ask a question I will respond, type of thread, I bet it would be a success. I know it would help me, as starting the week after easter I am teaching for 4 weeks about Africa, AIds, THe churches ROLE, and how can we help. First hand information would help, and knowing the number of active people in here, I am sure they would find it beneficial.
