And the bad thing is that we that don''t have it have to pay for their mess-ups.[edited by - warsong on February 12, 2004 3:37:36 PM] Read that story again, will you? ;  MscgamerBut he did say many good things in the article just because you didn’t like one word doesn’t mean he is 100% wrong. It’s like you expect to read articles by someone called Mr. Perfect  I don’t agree with him 100% but he does make a point in this artical.snailyIt says exactly"An estimated 25 percent of the people who live in New York and are infected with HIV are not aware of their status. Those people are not included in the totals." And that’s the % of people that are not aware. ;quote:Original post by Warsong   aids spreads Over 25% of people in New York are HIV positive. And the bad thing is that we that don't have it have to pay for their mess-ups.You're an idiot. It says 25% of the people in new york that have AIDS don't know it, not "25% of people in New York have AIDS.   I Want My Island"Luck is for people without skill."- Robert (I Want My Island)   [edited by - black_mage_s on February 12, 2004 5:01:19 PM];  The keyword there is "and". It isn''t 25% of the population of NY that are unawarily infected with HIV - which was what the OP said. ;  "About 2.8 percent of all the men in New York City have HIV infection or have been diagnosed with AIDS, the late stage of infection."Black mage I didnt say AIDS I said HIV. It could be* that 25% are HIV, since they are not aware of their status, but the odds of that are not as likely as it is in South Africa.I copy and pasted the second time to clarify it better. ;quote:Original post by Warsong  "About 2.8 percent of all the men in New York City have HIV infection or have been diagnosed with AIDS, the late stage of infection."Black mage I didnt say AIDS I said HIV.

Warsong, you''re so funny. You must have the most bizarre, distorted view of the world to actually believe 25% of all people in NYC are HIV+ when you live there yourself (as have I). Do you walk down the street actually believing one of every four people you see are infected with a fatal disease?   ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects. There''s already 134 screenshot posts. ;quote:Original post by Warsong  "About 2.8 percent of all the men in New York City have HIV infection or have been diagnosed with AIDS, the late stage of infection."Black mage I didnt say AIDS I said HIV.

Yeah, well, 85% of the population could have cancer and not know it.  But that doesn''t make your misreading of the article any more valid than my previous (wrong) statement.   ;quote:Original post by CGameProgrammer  Warsong, you''re so funny.

Do you walk down the street actually believing one of every four people you see are infected with a fatal disease?    I know I am funny  lolDistorted you say? Now now what did I say about being benign?I corrected what I forgot to say originally which came out wrong. And to go complain over that is just as silly since I even posted what I should have said at first and the actual # of how many have it which is around 2% and that 2% is still a lot of people which is sad.
