I agree. AIDS doesn't even rate in the top ten of the leading causes of death:
  1. Heart disease
  2. Cancer (malignant neoplasms)
  3. Chronic lower respiratory disease
  4. Accidents (unintentional injuries)
  5. Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases)
  6. Alzheimer's disease
  7. Diabetes (diabetes mellitus)
  8. Influenza and pneumonia
  9. Kidney disease (nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis)
  10. Suicide (intentional self-harm).
Apple would do much better focusing their huge pile of money on something else, but, Apple is a left wing leaning organization and the CEO is gay so no surprise.

Your list is missing high speed lead poisoning !!! guns don't make the TOP 10!!! USA gone soft?? ;) pfffft
 
Not trying to be a downer or anything. But like one of the previous guy said, AIDS is mostly contracted disease. I wonder if it would be batter if they direct this toward cancer or something else.

Nah, people contract cancer because of their bad life choices: smoking (lung cancer), careless or too frequent sun exposition (skin cancer), bad diet (all kinds of cancers), exposure to chemicals, etc etc. They deserve it!

Oh, I hope I am not a downer or anything.

People who think like you deserve all lessons life can offer to them.
 
My local apple didn't have the red logo this afternoon.... (roosevelt field mall, Garden City NY)
 
I hate Apple when it comes to this.

For the cost of decorating their stores worldwide in RED millions could be otherwise donated directly to AIDS research.

And with a few billion more in "pocket change", Apple could easily fund AIDS research until a cure is found without touching one red cent from their consumers.

Apple is a greedy f**K of a company that hoards profit and does not give anything back to society. RED is a trite marketing campaign that dupes consumers into thinking Apple cares about humanity, Apple only cares about what is in your wallet and how to get their hands on more of it.

In the meantime this week a bunch of the top tech tycoons came together to set up a Clean Energy initiative to rid the world of fossil fuel use. Working together is obviously something Apple does not know how to do because not a single current Apple exec including Tim Cook is involved in that. Apple is probably too focused on their own clean energy "initiative", that would drive down the operating cost of their data centers so they can make more profit off of every Apple Music or iCloud service fee.

If you care about this cause, DON'T buy a RED product from Apple because they don't really care about this cause. Apple doesn't need a few more bucks in profit out of all this so they can donate a small amount back that does nothing to actually help cure AIDS.
 
Considering you haven't deigned bother to explain anything at all...
I gave you guys facts and you seem to think someone still owes you an explanation. Typical lefties. So funny.

Oh, and it almost scares me how you lefties don't even know what your own agenda is.

I love it when people do this. They don't explain themselves, claim they've already gone through great lengths previously when someone asks them to do so, throw out a political insult, then tuck tail and run.

You obviously don't have any real point. All you're doing is wasting our time.

Five bucks the next thing you say will be something like "OLOL DID I TOUCH A NERVE?"

Cool story bro.

Please allow me to quote myself from before...

You folks weren't expecting an intelligent response from twiddledumb360 were ya?
:D
 
HIV has never been isolated. It is a myth. Look up Peter Duesberg, Stefan Lanka, Robin Scovill / Christine Maggiore (who was murdered by Big Pharma interests, as was her infant daughter).

AIDS is a blanket term for a plethora of diseases. Glaxo Smith Klein and other pharmaceutical companies have you fooled. Go ahead and take their drugs, their poison "medication".

Here's a link to "The Other Side of AIDS", which debunks the HIV myth:

 
also, whats up with the "cause A is better than cause B" crap on the internet these days? it's tiresome.

Disappointingly I see this on the left, my own side, very often. The kind of people who complain about the paris attack getting unfair amounts of attention when they couldn't have given a hoot about attacks in other countries the very day before. #iammoreprogressivethanyou

These people don't really care, they just want social brownie points. They aren't interested in factual pragmatic solutions.

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.;)
 
Have ordered the watch band. Am happy to help support the eradication of a disease that brings misery to so many.

Where I live we have ads running in the subway right now with various "HIV - Not as bad as you think"-messages.

Feels weird since I still remember HIV/AIDS being a serious issue.
 
If only we just banished people with aids, then no one would catch it and we'd all be fine. In nature, if you have something wrong with you, you die... it's how we should live.

I saw a program where this guy says "people have such a bias towards HIV"........ YES, I DON'T WANT YOUR DISEASED **** AROUND ME!

Nice theory there, Social Darwin, but the one thing you're not accounting for is that some can go months on end without realizing they're infected. HIV has no outward symptoms in its initial stages.

Question for you. You have two choices, have sex with:

An HIV+ individual on meds.

or

A person of unknown HIV status.

Which one is it and why?
