That’s all I can stands I can’t stands no more. Here’s the story. Today in my History of Medicine class, the professor decided to show the HBO mini-series “Angels in America”. This is the 3rd movie about homosexuality and HIV that we have seen this semester. Well about an hour into it there was a particular disturbing scene with two men having sex in a park.

Myself and the only other dude in a class of 16 asked the professor to fast forward. She told us to wait outside if we couldn’t watch. I got up and said, “I’m not gonna watch this shit!” and went home.

Now can someone please tell me what the fuck two faggots having gay butt sex has to do with the history of medicine??!?!?!?!?! If my professor has some sort of homosexuality fetish she needs to take it somewhere else. We’ve spent more time on AIDS and homos than on any other of the great epidemics combined including the Black Death, Pneumonia, Smallpox, etc.

This is the sort of shit that goes on in classes all across America. Pinko professors trying to put across their own agendas instead of actually teaching something worth a damn.

I’m a 24 year old Marine Combat Vet so my experiences and view of the world is alot different than most college goers. But I worry about the future of America, kids who are susceptible to this bullshit and haven’t formed their own opinions. What does every one else think?

I think you should take your “faggot” and “homo” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

From the strong feelings you’ve showed about watching men have sex, it sounds like you might enjoy that.

You are extremely homophobic. I bet you’d watch two women making out. Actually, if they ever showed two actual lesbians having sex you’d probably be grossed out.

HIV does not cause AIDS.

I think your professor wants to teach you something, which kind of is his job…

HIV is just a virus, no more, no less, but societies reaction to it was interesting, wasn`t it?

There is nothing for you to learn there? Nothing whatsoever?

Anyone trying to show you that “disease” is often only a social label (homosexuality is no longer a disease since when?), that societies reaction to a disease can make matters worse, that you need to deal with this shit though you did not cause it…

All of this has no place in a history of medicine class?

You have nothing left to learn there oh 24 year old marine combat vet?

My whole point to this story is that my professor should be teaching things about the history of medicine. As I said we learn more about homosexuality and AIDS than about the HISTORY of medicine. Things like Pasteur, Vesalius, the Black Death, Peurperal Fever should be discussed. We spend very little if any time on topics such as this. I have no problem discussing AIDS, just include all the other epidemics that have befallen mankind as well.

P.S. Please don’t mock my service to my country. I wasn’t saying that I know it all, just that my views are a certain way.

Well, I don’t share your raging anti-homosexuality (I think homophobia is an abused term - phobia means ‘fear’, and not all disapproval of something stems from ‘fear’), what your professor is doing exactly what she shouldn’t be doing.

To play such a thing is a clear injection of ideology into a classroom. ‘Angels in America’ is a high-pitched left-wing revisionist fantasy regarding homosexual life in the 1980s.

I’d recommend getting over your rage, a little respect would go a long way - but I concur with your disgust over your teacher using the classroom to foist her views on you.

Sorry. I got carried away. I was just so disgusted with the whole homosexuality thing being thrown in my face constantly.

What would you like to learn to in history of medicine?

That Hypocrates invented the oath and Pasteur the germ theory? What the hell, let`s throw Semmelweis in there, whose great contribution was, wait for it, to wash your hands in between dissecting corpses and delivering children.

Or the more interesting stuff like changes in society because of the Black Death in Europe, how people (aka future patients) react to disease (like a frightened bunch of sheep, mostly)?

Is a professor trying to raise some questions here really trying to brainwash you or does he have a point?
If he uses the most recent disease, is he justified in doing so?

If he raises a good point in a bad way, are you under no obligation to try to understand?

Is he not trying to innoculate you against the instincts of a herd animal , is that not anti-liberal?

I never mocked your service for your country, but if you let it stand in the way of actively learning stuff that does not come easy to you, well, you are not making the best of it either.

To put it into a nutshell:

Homosexuality, Aids, human behaviour when it comes to disease…

What better incidents to use then those which happen at your lifetime…

It is happening all around you, just look and see what is going on…

PS: Just for shits and giggles:

Scorbut only happens to sailors. Therefore God does not wants us to sail the seven seas and punishes those who do…

Once again I will reiterate my point. THE PROFESSOR should be teaching us about the HISTORY of medicine. Not showing movies with two men fornicating in it. Want to show a movie about AIDS. Fine, I have no problem with that. How about an objective one like something from the history channel. Not some idealogical one with explicit scenes in it.

Why are you so offended by those words Harris? I’m just wondering.

“Constantly”? Really? Like, 24 hours a day?

Or was it, in reality, just the one time in class when a teacher tried to…god for-fucking-bid…teach you something?

I sure hope no one ever shows you a Good Times rerun; you might start screaming about the “niggers”, and then offer some lame excuse about getting sick of having the whole “black thing shoved in your face constantly.”

Of course, in English we call it “scurvy”.

But no, this disease is not just for sailors. Anyone with a severe vitamin C deficiency is at risk.

What the fuck is wrong with you. You start resorting to calling me a racist. Let me tell you something asshole I’ve volunteered to go on humanitarian missions to both Haiti, Ethiopia, and Djibouti (that’s in Africa shithead).

One of the most satisfying times of my life helping starving children. Have you ever been to Africa and Haiti? Have you seen the starvation and death and disease going on there? That’s one of the reasons that I was so pissed off that the teacher was going on about the AIDS situation among gays when it is destroying entire populations in Africa. Let alone the other diseases that are ravaging that continent that we could be talking about.

So if it was two really hot lesbians going crazy on each other, you’d be just as offended, right?

I’m not going to lie and say I’d be comfortable watching it, but AIDS did start among the gay community, so it has relevance. Stop being a pussy and bite the bullet.

I don’t like it when my professor (a former FBI agent) throws in little digs at Democrats who are against torture, but I’m not going to cry about it. Grow up.

Showing one movie about how AIDS started among the gay “community” is one thing. I’ll deal with that. Showing three? C’mon. There is a little too much bias here.

Because the LIBERAL part is the one being shocked by a gay sex scandal right now. Yep, according to FOX NEWS Mark FOley is a Democrat, not a bible abiding GOP member!

Get over yourself. Your profs a douche and a bad teacher, but homosexuality has nothing to do with either party.

Gays can be conservative or liberal. SO shut the hell up and stop trying to make it seem like the democrats are pushing gayness down your throat.

Plus, it seems like your prof is ANTI-gay if she keeps relating Gayness to AIDS…

Behind the crass and politically incorrect language is the observation is that the professor is wasting his time and money, he signed up for a course on the history on medicine which is quite an in depth course. The fact remaines that the professor shouldnt be wasting his time on any fictional movies at all, ever.

This is a history class it is not a socialogy class, he should be learning about events that altered the course of man including both disease and cure. If she wanted to concentrate on the important pandemic of aids she should have shown a documentary on the effects in subsaharan africa where it is truly epidemic.

As for the OP thats a flaw with a liberal arts education, learn from it and when you pick your courses next time do a little background on the professors it is really worth your effort, oh and take science they dont tolerate that bullshit.

Look on the bright side: maybe next your professor will show a bunch of videos graphically depicting how syphilis and herpes spread among the heterosexual community.
