OMG. We need to kick ours up to at least two billion. Show them what for. *waves penis*
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now!

If that isn't an event to change the course of human history, I'm not sure what is.
I can't work up any sympathy for the Africans when they think that raping
a virgin woman will cure them of AIDS.

Overlord, what makes you think they would get any of the aide we sent over there? Alot of the aide just gets pocketed or used just for the elites.

I know it's fucked up, and I agree. I don't have a magic solution. But Shep said he didn't have any sympathy. And while SOB rapists are a waste of the communal oxygen supply, they aren't the only Africans with AIDS.
