Have a good one ....
A third of that money is spent on faith-based abstinence-promotion organizations.Quote:
W has donated more money to aids research and prevention in africa than anyone before him,anyone.maybe he didnt use it like maybe you would have but thats a personal problem.
Other republicans are working to stop funding to clean needle exchange programs.Quote:
PEPFAR was smaller in its ambitions â?? only 15 countries were targeted â?? but much better funded, with $15 billion promised over five years. The Global Fund's biggest donor had proven itself capable of promising huge sums of money, but they would not be going into the Global Fund. Tobias tried to stem the ensuing wave of criticism by claiming that the organizations could work together. But it soon became clear that they had fundamentally different missions. PEPFAR enthusiastically endorses the so-called "ABC" approach â?? Abstinence, Be Faithful, and Condoms. The program gave President Bush an opportunity to scale up from his $10 million abstinence crusade in Texas (where there is no evidence it worked) to a billion-dollar version in Africa (where there is new evidence it's not helping.)

"I wouldn't pick a judge who said that the Pledge of Allegiance couldn't be said in a school because it had the words 'under God'' in it. I think that's an example of a judge allowing personal opinion to enter into the decision-making process, as opposed to strict interpretation of the Constitution."

I appreciate that question because I, in the state of Texas, had heard a lot of discussion about a faith-based initiative eroding the important bridge between church and state.

That is exactly it, Torog you know I respect you but god damnit look at some of the shit you say. You are saying that Xtianity is "the one true peaceful religion", despite the crusades, witch burnings, sexism, while your next statement about "the false path of islam" shows your intolerance. Not only this, you imply that anybody who isn't a christian fundamentalist is instead in support of these muslim extremists. Not to mention, you again are making generalizations about muslims and non-christians despite the numerous times you have been shown this and the numerous times you have come back saying you hope you didn't offend anybody.Quote:

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1W HO GIVES A SHIT IF THE GUY IS RELIGOUS?????????????????????????????????????????? ???AND AIDS INFECTION IN ALGERIA IS WAY DOWN.JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being religious is one thing, saying that God directs your actions, God should be in schools and God and state should be connected is quite another.
Is it?Quote:
AIDS INFECTION IN ALGERIA IS WAY DOWN.
Im looking for figures for Algeria and see this:
HIV/AIDS - adult prevalence rate: 0.07% (1999 est.)
Adult HIV prevalence (%), 2003: 0.1
goes down every year.he talks about god alot,and prays for direction?big deal?
.07 to .1 is an increase, not a decrease. 2003 was the most recent statistic I found.
Do you know what the Constitution Restoration Act of 2005 is?
Read it yourself, it isn't very long.

It makes a fucking huge difference if the man governs according to his religion, in a country which supposedly 'prides' itself in its religious tolerance and separation of church and state. Don't you get it? Not everyone is a born again Christian, and born again Christians are notorious for shoving their faith down other people's throats.
There are millions of Buddhists, Muslims, atheists, Catholics, agnostics who don't share Dubya's views.
RELIGION MUST BE KEPT OUT F POLITICS.
