It's simple:

You eat many small meals a day - your metabolism is working faster all the time, burning off excess fat

You eat one or two big meals a day - your metabolism gets slower and your body burns off your muscles first to compensate for the lack of energy. Then after the majority of your muscle mass is gone - your body starts taking from the fat as a last resort.

That zebra in the middle has really big ears

I wonder what the pilot said after that:

"Uh, sorry folks, it was pretty close there for a second - but I think I can nail it the second time around..."

There's plenty of opposition arguments from other scientists - there always has been (this is not the only case). Not too long ago Ritalin was the cure for ADD in children, smoking helped your digestion, and marijuana made you insane.

Dr. Duesberg is a reputable scientist, with an impressive resume ranging from discovering the oncogene, a strand of DNA that causes cancer, to gaining tenure as a professor of biology at UC Berkeley.

He hasn't been able to conduct experiments because his funding was cut once he came forward with his HIV/AIDS theory - this is the use of command science I spoke of earlier.

But whatever his theory might be about how people contract AIDS, there is still no evidence that suggests HIV causes AIDS - hence this discovery by Dr. Barr will have little impact on the spread of AIDS.

HIV and AIDS are two separate and distinguishable diseases - there are 0 cases where it has been proven that HIV develops into AIDS - and there are cases through 1989 from the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) that prove people have contracted AIDS without contracting HIV. After 1989 - no cases - why? Because a reputable scientist, Duesberg, came forth with his "crackpot" theory.

GlaxoSmithKline holds a virtual monopoly in manufacturing antiretroviral drugs used for treating HIV. You might think that it's conspiracy fodder, but when a corporation has a substantial investment in a market of that caliber - is it really that far fetched to think that they'll suppress dissenting opinions that would end their operations if that opinion were proven correct?

As for ted and the insult, it's not irrelevant. I've already clashed with him(her?) before on some issues and I think he still might be bitter about it.

Stalker - a follower or tabkeeper of another person

And as for you joo, I do enjoy debating - how about my first first argument? Got anything on that?

Don't be so quick to reject the idea that HIV doesn't cause AIDS. GlaxoSmithKline is a billion-dollar industry that produces drugs to combat HIV. Do you really think that they would allow someone with credentials to even try and say that HIV doesn't cause AIDS? Do you think they would allow someone to take away their money?

Really think about it...

And ted, you can't listen to writing - so stop being a stalker.

That actually made my monitor dirtier

1.) There is absolutely NO proof that HIV causes AIDS.
2.) People have gotten AIDS without being infected with HIV.
3.) HIV is a relatively benign disease.

Command science - the pressuring of scientists to conform to certain ideals in fear of being rejected by the scientific community through peer-reviewed journals.

Before you reject this idea, read some of Peter Duesberg's articles.

She's definitely mother of the year material

Yay! I'm from Secaucus N.J.

No mention of Walter Reed...?

Looks like a guy I know...

Isn't it strange how the moon is the perfect shape for a total eclipse. It's not too big nor is it too small - it's just perfect.

Remember tonight is the big night - keep an eye out!
