Thank you Mélo and everyone else for you support! Originally Posted By SCREWHEAD I might actually agree with this, but only if it wasn't just a "ZOMG LOOK INJUSTICE IN THE WORLD!" knee-jerk freak-out that the whole campaign is hinging on. This isn't just a "knee-jerk freak-out". It's more about getting rid of an antiquated policy that currently hurts more than it helps. Originally Posted By SCREWHEAD What they should do is maybe change the wording of the questionaire to not outright ask "are you gay", but "have you had anal sex within the past year", because THAT'S the reason they don't want gay men giving blood; not that they're gay, but that anal sex between two men is THE #1 cause of AIDS/HIV spreading in North America, followed by Heterosexual sex, and injecting drugs comes in at 3rd place. I would absolutely support a change in the wording, from 'men who have sex with other men' to 'persons who have participated in any form of anal sex within the past year', but to just overlook that one important FACT about the #1 method of infection/transmission of an EXTREMELY deadly, currently-incurable disease that can take up to 3/4 of a year to show up on blood tests, that's just irresponsible and stupid. The problem with your reasoning here is that it's not about whether you have anal sex with someone (because otherwise straight people wouldn't be allowed to give blood either...) but rather if you have UNPROTECTED SEX with other people. Originally Posted By screwheadThe whole thing has absolutely NOTHING to do with them being gay Yes, you're getting it! Originally Posted By screwheadand entirely to do with the fact that one of the most common/widespread forms of sex that's had between two gay men is anal. Maybe not... Originally Posted By screwheadThey do have a risk, but it's really fairly specifically anal penetration from a man that does it. Again sex without protection (a condom) is what propagates the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, not specifically homotastic ass-fucking. Originally Posted By screwheadI dunno what the screening-forms are like for blood donation, but I'm pretty certain that they include things like 'have you gotten a piercing or tattoo recently' or 'do you engage in any high-risk sexual activities'.. There are indeed questions that target the things you brought up, but for straight people there's a limit to how long ago they had unprotected sex that bars them from donating blood. That limit isn't as ridiculous as 1977. Originally Posted By screwheadBut statistically, men having sex with other men is the current #1 cause of AIDS/HIV transmission, and for heterosexual women the risk of getting it comes from sex with 'high risk' partners - men who are bi and have sex with other men, or men who inject drugs. Do you honestly think heterosexual women can ONLY get HIV from sleeping with a man that has had sex with another man or intravenous drug users? How do you explain a lesbian getting HIV when they have never slept with a man or someone who has never had sexual contact with an IDU? Your stats aren't looking at the whole picture. Still, to this day, the largest group of HIV carriers globally are young adult women. In North America specifically, the biggest group that carries HIV are indeed men who have sex with other men, but even that is a small percentage of the entire population of men who have sex with men. The reason why this policy is considered so discriminatory is because it targets gay men regardless of whether their sexual practices are better or worse than their straight counterparts. It is considered outdated because technology is loads more advanced than when HIV first came around and they did not know how to screen blood, testing procedures were not that reliable and it was more expensive. These days cost is not an issue, ALL donated blood is tested rigorously and the tests are 99% accurate. Also not to be tootin' my own horn but I am a gay man, I have a (let's say) prosperous sex life and compared to the majority of my straight friends I practice safer sex more often than they do (both guys and girls). So why is it that they can give blood when technically they're a bigger risk than I am? Heck I even get tested once every 6 months because just knowing your serological status is prevention in itself. Most people I know haven't been to the clinic to get tested for STIs not even ONCE in their lives and have been sexually active for years AND have not always had sex with a condom or other forms of protection. Man, it's been years since I had me a good Ravewave rant. =) |

Like all artists I was in love with years ago, I can only hope he'll be playing a lot of his older trance style as opposed to this self titled "Tech Dance". Hype machine on! |

Pascal, you forgot to add Whizzkid with Storm and Sharkey! =P It's a shame he won't be there. I can't make it to Spain this summer so this would have to tide me over until I can get back there... It's not everyday we get something like this on this side of the pond. If one can make it one should go! Considering the amount of people expected and the fact that the venue looks tight this could be pretty interesting =D |

Biiiiig up to Jason, Hugo, Peter, and everyone else involved in making this party happen! It was a banging time =D Louis' breaks always get me grooving Samwise has improved his mixing skills and I was pleasantly surprised. Matricks worked harder than usual getting this set ready in the past week and it showed! I was proud to see peeps rockin hard to your set. Hope people will enjoy your latest mix as they disappeared quite quickly as we gave them out last night ;D Smartyz and Deadfunk tore the place up and I love that people seem to enjoy your productions more and more as time goes on. Keep it up! I had to leave after that but I left with a huge freaking smile plastered on my face =) Looking forward to a next time happening! |

I was suprised when they announced last summer's reunion thing. It kinda took away from the All Good Things supposedly being the "last" one (was still a fawking awesome party though). Frolic would be better off making this like an every 5 year thing or something to make it just a little more special ;) |

I need to get back into Bleach. I watched the first 10 episodes and then just stopped. Now it's at 100+ episodes, wouldn't hurt to have another long running series to watch other than Naruto. |

Since I loved Love Hina so much I decided to DL another Ken Akamatsu series called Mahō Sensei Negima! I've only watched one episode but I don't think it will have the charm Love Hina did. I should look into Death Note though... |

"What did you take?" Me: "Nothing, unless you count some weed and an energy drink" "So why are you dancing so much?" Me: "Because I love the music..." O.o "Whoaaaaa" or "Lache-pas! =D" It's not THAT hard to imagine some people actually enjoy Happy Hardcore =P Another one is "Your Dj Matricks boyfriend!" which usually leads into my favorite which I get far too often "Your boyfriend is hot!". Those three would have to be the most common. Oh there's also the "You're that black guy from *insert party name I've never heard of*" |
