Very close to what Americans said about AIDS in the 80s. This is now regarded to have been stupid at best, discriminatory and bigoted at worst.
- avazhi 3y agoTelling people not to engage in risky behaviour isn't discriminatory or bigoted, bud. Do stupid things, win stupid prizes.
- asveikau 3y agoThe Reagan administration didn't approve of gay people or heroin addicts. So they said they didn't have to worry about AIDS. Guess what though? Drug addicts are people. And obviously, the entire world understands now that a disease disproportionally affecting gay people is still very fucking important.
