People with sickle cell trait are protected to some extent against some
kinds of malaria, because their red cells burst or become stiff before the
malaria parasite can develop fully. As anyone with this problem will tell
you, it's not worth the freight. The other concequences far outweigh the
minimal benefits regarding malaria. And no, it doesn't protect against the
worst forms of malaria.

Yeah, there is a genetic predisposition to acquiring infection with HIV
and getting AIDS as a consequence - it has to do with being a man (or
woman) not a monkey and living long enough. Whether homosexuality is
"nature" or "nurture"  remains the exciting debating realm of frat houses.
George, most of us no longer give a shit. It just is. And its existence
doesn't bother us.

Is this a boast or a regret?

Now I've heard of an "Irish Bull", but this one is outstanding in the
field. Read the post, George: Take the drugs; get the test.

If you piss on the carpet we won't let you play with our toys either.
Cover your id George. alt.rec.faggot.bash is @ nazi.com.
