I'm just amazed how such a simple sentence became a subject of debate. The liberal has truly out of idea to combat, not to mention their inability to comprehend simple logic.

Now press (Ctrl) + ( + ) until the font size is big enough for a 5 year old to read them. That's your standard.

You cannot stop people from eating, because people eat to live, but you can stop them from eating unhealthily. How? I say, educate them.

And you cannot stop people from dying, because people somehow die when the time comes, but you can stop people from killing themselves. How? Give them therapy or whatever.

All things natural cannot be stopped, but we can actually stop them being done wrongly.

In other words.

If you want to have sex, go on, but have sex with people who are not HIV positive.

And the only way to know whether someone is HIV positive or not is by revealing their health status.

Don't be a hypocrite, you've gotta be out of your mind to still have sex with people whom you know to be a carrier, regardless whether you love that person or not.

Grand Marquis said:

“obviously have different meaning.”

And I said CONTRADICTORY. To have both in the same sentence is just illogical. I’ll rephrase the whole sentence with a question. I hope you can understand clear and simple English. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me to proceed. ;-)

If you CANNOT STOP people from having sex, how on earth do you STOP people from having sex with the “wrong person (HIV+)” ? ...... (clear? No? Nod your head if you get it.)

Now let get back to the testing thing. If you test someone and he/she is HIV+, can you stop the couple from getting married? (This is so many steps BEFORE the sex part.) Is there legislation that prohibits the couple from getting married? I don’t think there is any such law in this country and love is a powerful force.

So the government pushes the issue back to the couple. What should have been a private matter between two parties is now a private matter again and the couple have to decide what to do next.

In the mean time, the crony makes money selling the HIV kits. If you google the HIV test kits, they cost from USD 15 to USD 60. Subtract discount for bulk purchase, add some freight, and some government mark up ... you do the math. How many people get tested in a year? Some BN crony will be set for life. The public of course gets the test kits “free”.

1. You CAN stop people from having sex WITH THE WRONG PERSON

I think the sentence is concrete and stands corrected if you put it in context, i.e people would not have sex with an HIV infected person.

Anyone who would be stupid enough to knowingly bang an HIV infected people is probably the one who would question the sentence.

Your goal (not mine) is to stop HIV/AIDS from spreading and I’m saying that mandatory testing (one time during marriage) does not stop AIDS from spreading. Hope this is clear.

But it will stop innocent people from getting themselves infected by the disease.

“You CANNOT stop people from having sex, but you CAN stop people from having sex with the wrong person.”

Oh dear. Someone is trying to teach me Logic 101. Perhaps I should teach him (Or her) BASIC English. Ok here goes:

First part of the sentence – You CANNOT stop
Second part of sentence – You CAN stop

So which is it, CAN or CANNOT. Obviously the first part of the sentence CONTRADICTS the second. Fundamental flaw in logic.

Like I said in my post, even if you put HIV people in prison, you cannot stop them from having sex. Your goal (not mine) is to stop HIV/AIDS from spreading and I’m saying that mandatory testing (one time during marriage) does not stop AIDS from spreading. Hope this is clear.

You mabuk ka? First part of your above sentence already contradict the second part. How to have logical argument from someone whose thinking defies logic. Bikin kepala pusing daa.

Which part of logic that you find very hard to understand?

OK. Logic 101. Here goes

A is horny. She wants to have sex with group B.
Group B has people C, D , E .

Without HIV testing, A would not know if either one has HIV.

But thanks to HIV testing, she finds out that E is HIV positive. So now she only frequent C & D beds.

The motif is clear, to stop the spread, not sex.

If you don't want to have sex with someone because you suspect HIV, then just don't. Your chances are very low that you will contract it.

If you don't want to have sex with someone because you suspect HIV, then just don't. Your chances are very low that you will contract it.

Why is this so hard for you to understand?

And how does a one-time test solve this problem?

And how do you propose to prevent HIV-positive people from spreading their disease other than refusing them a marriage permit?

Sounds like this is getting to be a bigger project.

And Windsurfer...aka KepalaAnginSurfer

The 'liberal thinking' is your own ideology. Keeping government out of our private affairs when it isn't necessary is anything but liberal. 'Liberal' is what you support! And condoms (free or otherwise, public or private) would be much more effective than pre-nuptial HIV

But amuse me anyway, tell me how to stop HIV person from having sex with non HIV person. What mechanism do you propose?

2009-01-11T16:51:00.000+08:00
I don't need case study because we already know that there are people who get infected from their spouses. Ignorance about this would be another good reason why some people against HIV testing. It's not rocket science since HIV is a sexually transmitted disease, you don't need case study to explain that. So government action is reasonable action since it was not made on basis of ignorance.

Also you really think testing for HIV can reduce AIDS spreading? Cannot la fren. You don’t get AIDS by shaking hands. You need to stop the HIV people from having sex with non-HIV people or sharing needles. So please tell me what is you plan to prevent HIV people from having sex.

You cannot stop people from having sex, but you can stop people from having sex with the wrong person.

2009-01-11T12:45:00.000+08:00

Nobody including MAC is against HIV testing. What we are against is “mandatory” HIV testing imposed by government.

So, it means that if a person have HIV, he or she can refuse to have himself tested, and at the same time he can continue spreading the virus as he will.

Mandatory testing will force HIV carriers to reveal their true state of health and others are protected from his/her virus.

Isn't that simple enough? Isn't that a more straightforward way of reducing infection?

Windsurfer,

“The HIV testing was derived from case study.”

“I don't need a case study to prove that either.”

Phoah!! At first I was so impressed (monkey shock) that this guy got some case study to back up his arguments. Then in his next posting he said no need case study. What la you. You talking out of your butt ah?

Nobody including MAC is against HIV testing. What we are against is “mandatory” HIV testing imposed by government. I don’t like it when government forces things on people. Case in point, like the Program Khidmat Negara. 2.4 billion ringgit gone oledi. Crony gets big bungalow. What do we get? 16 buried children. <-- Another case against BIG government.

Also you really think testing for HIV can reduce AIDS spreading? Cannot la fren. You don’t get AIDS by shaking hands. You need to stop the HIV people from having sex with non-HIV people or sharing needles. So please tell me what is you plan to prevent HIV people from having sex.

I'm sure this imaginary country you wished for will be a failed one.

If you've never heard of some people ended up infected with HIV then it's no surprise that you're against HIV testing just on the base of privacy or human rights, weakly at that too. I don't need a case study to prove that either.

How is HIV screening violate individual rights when transmitting HIV knowingly/unknowingly is already a crime? It is everyone's responsibility to check their blood, especially those who sexually active with multiple partners. But since not everyone is responsible enough and most of the time we take things for granted, government is spot on to enforce these people to take the test.

But as I said earlier, if you are SMART enough, take the test yourself without the knowledge of your partner. That would avoid unnecessary drama.

What AIDS council have misunderstood is that the act is demeaning to those who were infected not by cause of their negligence, example is the one born with HIV. But they missed a point that most of these people are well aware of their disease, so is everyone they're connected with. The targeted crowd is actually the people who have no idea that they're a carrier or try to hide it from their potential sex partners.

So the government action is very far from what the AIDS council described as "fear and ignorance within government". I'd agree that not majority of infection cases are related to marriage, but every little effort to prevent the spreading of the disease should be counted for, not detested.

If you think hard enough instead of using that part of your brain fully devoted to 'liberal thinking', you might find out that maybe the action might benefit towards raising general awareness of HIV in long term, and perhaps a better substitute to the 'free condoms' campaign the AIDS council shouted about a while back.

2009-01-11T01:14:00.000+08:00
If you are going to mention a case study, please cite it specifically.

Regardless, your comment has no relevance to the issue. There is no need for the government to get involved in people's lives for this reason. It should be between two people, and if those people happen to be a husband and wife (or wife and wife, etc., who cares), they can work out the testing arrangements.

Let the government stick to its job of being corrupt and restricting our other freedoms -- it already has its hands full.

Those of you whose knee-jerk reactions lead you to favor government regulation are way too liberal. Yes, we know how much you hate gays and players but get the government out of daily lives, not deeper into them.

Enough of this social engineering project. Build roads, defend the country, print currency, sudah cukup!

By the way, what happens when you (and I mean YOU) get a false positive test for HIV and it is in the system forever, as a scarlet letter you cannot remove?

Or do you trust the government to treat your private data carefully?

...kind of makes you think.

2009-01-11T00:28:00.000+08:00
The HIV testing was derived from case study. Most people infected by HIV via legal marriage usually have no idea that their spouse has the virus. You can speak out loud all you want about privacy but in modern practice it is not something new that some people would ask for blood tests before they get married, likewise.

Let's get something straight.

Those of you labeling other views as 'liberal' are actually the liberal ones.

Many of you misunderstand the word 'liberal', associating it with something outside of what you consider immoral. It is not surprising since that is how mass media propaganda has framed it.

The position against testing is not a liberal one, if one must apply a name, use libertarian.

Liberals, in the economic sense (where the word arose from originally), favor increased government intervention. In the social sense, liberals want the government to be proactive.

Libertarians want the government LESS involved in personal lives and behavior.

If you are concerned about your wives, sisters, daughters, etc... (funny how nobody mentions sons, husbands, brothers - I guess your minds are ossified with a particular slant) then how does a government do better than an individual.

You want to marry? Then make sure you tell your prospective spouse that you want them to take an HIV test.

There! Problem solved. No need for onerous laws or increased bureaucracy (and we, the people, save money too).

These are the people who never ceased to amaze the crowd with their stupid liberal idea that everyone has rights.

Tulang besi, i never like your ideas before, but i have to agree with you on this.

The issue is not WHY but Why not?

Other people want to protect themselves and their families from 'death sentence' so i think this could somehow reduced how AIDS is spreading.

I dont want my daughter, sister,mom, aunt, niece, nephew unknowingly and innocently inflicted with AIDS just because his/her stupid partner refused to tell that he/she is with AIDS.

Tolonglah, manusia sorok banyak benda including tax and debt which are less serious. And u think they will tell their partner they have AIDS?

It aint about breached of privacy but safety.

Let's wait til these liberals or any of their love ones are inflicted and see what they say.

2009-01-10T20:29:00.000+08:00
Dear Tulang Besi,

I appreciate your effort in counteracting with the liberal group. It is certainly a very tiring effort.

In reality, many of these defenders of liberal ideology are just plain hypocrites. They go to the great extend of trying to defend homosexuality, but I doubt many of them willing to let another man put their dick into their but, or probably seeing their daughter marry another women and their son marrying another man even though they desperately fighting for the right of these people.

In other word, liberalism is for everybody else, except me.

I believe, deep in their heart they are afraid of AIDS too and want a spouse who is AIDS free. If their prospective partner comes to them and claimed that he or she could probably an AIDS carrier, they would scream the hell out for them to do a blood test before they would agree to a marriage.

But out there, they will go all out to oppose anyone else who try to do the same as what they probably would do. They will shout the slogans of human rights, AIDS's right, gay's right, animal's right and whatever fit into the right word.

So long for these hypocrite libralist supporter...

2009-01-10T10:26:00.000+08:00
I agree with HIV testing because it is critical for humanity.

Everyone above age 18 or thereabout should be tested (regularly) at least for their own knowledge. This is to ensure that people are not ignorant that they are a walking time bomb.

The above should only be done if HIV testing can be done easily as walking through a booth and being informed glaringly and privately of one's HIV status.

Privacy of the results should be maintained and can only be called upon by by law.

Thus if a people infect another person after being informed of his/her HIV positive status, then the person is accountable for the damage.

Implementation of the above may not be easy but if there is a will, then there is a way.

Btw, God has nothing to do with the above. If God exists and is that powerful, then God should have killed the HIV virus in the first place

2009-01-10T09:48:00.000+08:00
I agree 100% with Tulang Besi and windsurfur. Must stop HIV/AIDs at all cost. Must stop all the philandering an moral decay that’s going on. The government should have mandatory testing for HIV/AIDs and other sexually transmitted diseases. Testing should be done weekly or even daily. Don’t worry about the cost, the government can subcontract Sime Darby to provide the HIV test kits. Test kits will be provided “free” to the public. (Got to give back something to Sime after they lost the IJN thingy.) When people are busy being tested all the time, they will forget that water rates have gone up by 30%, food prices have not come down, electricity rates have not gone down, economic situation is real bad etc etc. All this mandatory testing will cow and impress the power of government over the people.

Testing for HIV would not stop AIDs spreading. Remember, what spreads AIDs is the philandering that’s going on. So how to prevent people with HIV from having sex with non HIV people? Well the answer is simple. The government should set up squads of Sex Police. Every time someone in the country wants to have sex, they must get a permit from the Sex Police. Sex with more than five people at once shall be declared illegal. The police should be given powers to enter your bedrooms to do spot checks. What if they do unnatural sex acts which could lead to HIV. What if they don’t do it with their wifes? Sex police must be equipped with anal probes with flashlights so that they can inspect at will.

People with HIV/AID should be exposed in the newspapers and television. Their names will be published together with their mugshots. We don’t care if they happen to be women who contract HIV/AIDs via their philandering husbands, or people who got HIV/AIDs via tainted blood transfusions. Exposed them all. Shame them like the prostitutes and philanderers. The interest of society at large is more important than the individual.

What if the Sex Police cannot prevent 100% AIDs from spreading? You think the public will remember all the names of people with HIV that have been published? Always remember, that the goal is to prevent AIDs. HIV people must be separated from the public at large. We should then set up a penal colony on some island. Then intern them. These are degenerates, so who cares about them. Perhaps can put them in someplace like Penang with Lim Guan Eng (that guys is against hudud anyways). Then can cancel the second bridge and give the money to Sime Darby for the AIDS kit. Of course kits are given “free” to the public.

2009-01-10T07:26:00.000+08:00
Privacy, somewhat a very weakly based argument. Think, should the government wishes to hide a bird flu disease spreading in Town X to protect the "privacy" of the people infected in the town, would you simply be delighted to accept that?

Our "modern & liberalised" people who chose to scream out loud the human rights are thinking backward in this matter. At the back of their mind they fear that by revealing a patient having HIV will degrade that person's integrity hence their chances to enjoy life like others. This is in another word to say that the HIV infected patients should be kept in their closet. The same people who pronounced loudly that "gay has their right", "changing religion is your right" seemingly conflicting themselves nowadays..

These paranoids suffer inferiority complex disease for too long that they hardly notice how ridiculous they sound, and now they're attempting to infect others with it.

And NO, HIV testing is not a beginning of some kind of chain reactions. Installing camera in your bedroom??? I believe the government has not gone mad enough to have such a wild imagination as yours.
