    I'm revealing my ignorance here, but I had no idea that the US banned people with HIV from entering the country. This shocked me more than anything else in the post. A little googling reveals that the other 11 countries with similar bans are: Armenia, Brunei, Iraq, Libya, Moldova, Oman, Qatar, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Sudan. ([www.washingtonpost.com])

    Sad. #babies

    I didn't realize there was a ban on people with HIV entering the country. You must be able to get exceptions, since I can think of several people who have adopted kids with HIV from Africa.

    I'm glad the ban will be reversed. Why next year, though? Does it take a long time to do something like that? #babies

    I read about some religious leaders who were worried about being charged with inciting crime by preaching about how homosexuality is evil.

    @thebootyfaerie: To be fair, after I read an article and learned about all the anti-hate speech laws that are enacted around the world, I was pretty shocked.

    Don't get me wrong- I absolutely despise the world's hatemongers- but I also hate censorship.

    The only problem was that so many of these religious leaders didn't just worry that they'd be charged with crime for preaching against homosexuality- they said it would happen (when there was nothing in the bill at all saying so). #babies

    @thebootyfaerie: A ridiculous fear, by the way, considering that incitement to violence is one of the hardest things to prove under First Amendment law. A dude gave a speech at a KKK rally encouraging people to seek "revengeance" and THAT speech was considered protected under the First Amendment.

    The people who cry "free speech" in response to hate crimes legislation are ignorant tools. But you already knew that. #babies

    Why don't they institute an abstinence-only program of AIDS prevention in Africa? It's worked wonders completely eliminating teen pregnancy in the United States. #circumcision

    They've started 'circumcision clinics' here in South Africa in order to combat the rampant spread of HIV, too. With 1,000 dying per day in this country, it's about time they started doing something about it.

    However, my partner isn't circumcised, and I find myself getting defensive over the idea the circumcision is the only way to go, or a cure-all for STDs, as it's often seen here. Scientists have a point, of course - as scientists tend to do - but basic HIV education would do a lot of good, too, and that's still largely lacking. We've got a president (Zuma) who said (during his rape trial, natch) that he thought he could shower to avoid contracting HIV. Circumcision won't help much if there's not a general understanding of STDs. #circumcision

    @SleepsWithButterflies: I've written about this online a few times, and I've always been surprised at what an emotional issue it is. Personally, HIV and AIDS are so incredibly destructive in sub-Saharan Africa that I'm thrilled that we've discovered that a simple and safe procedure can significantly lower the risk. But circumcision isn't a panacea, and even if every male in that part of the world were circumcised, there would still be a need for contraception, education and a huge effort to combat the disease.

    When I weigh in on it, though, I tend to get dragged into the circumcision wars. I find the medical case for circumcision in the developed world to be almost entirely baseless, and I've argued so; but the anti-circumcision crowd gets on me because I support the use of circumcision in sub-Saharan Africa, or in religious or cultural practice, which is frankly none of my business. I guess it's just one of those issues that is hard to argue about dispassionately. #circumcision

    @Freddie DeBoer: I totally get what you mean about the tendency to be passionate about circumcision. I didn't mean to say I'm passionate about it - I don't have a penis and I'm not connected to any religious or cultural group in which circumcision is meaningful - I meant to more insinuate my reaction to people who are passionately pro-circumcision, as if there's nothing else.

    I'm new to this discussion, relatively, and I'm still surprised by how passionate people are about it. #circumcision
