no i have not said that i do not believe in platonic friendships but how are you going to guarantee that two platonic friends of the opposite sex will not engage in illicit sex in your hotel, ask them nicely not to?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieso a british male with h.i.v. currently has a normal life and life span and with a cure in sight it would seem h.i.v. is becoming as relevant as the measles currently is for the british. hardly a major reaping is it? so why all the drama?
they reap HIV by engaging in illicit sex, I am, sure they would rather not be HIV+
what did homosexual men reap before the 1900's?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIn so far as he advocates to others that 'it's wrong to drink alcohol', then that is to fellow Muslims and applies above all to himself. Here in Indonesia, alcohol is not illegal, nor is it taboo for many millions of people - neither socially nor in religious terms.

Originally posted by FMFIts simply an example FMF of having a personal value and providing an inducement to others to engage in activity which is contrary to that personal value. Its hypocritical.
