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.
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 because of some of the stuff I have experienced.
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.

First off, thank you so much for your service to our great country! You and the other men and women in the military ARE our true heros!
Now for the substance of what you brought up about the class, this is what I would have done.
(1) Leave the class – which you did.
(2) Demand a meeting with the chairman of the department whom your professor reports. If you get no satisfaction…
(3) Demand a meeting with the president of the college.
(4) Call the local press and see if they would run the story.
I share your “I’ve had it up to here” with the “gay” agenda. They are, in fact, shoving this down our throats and they use the instiutions of learning from the elementary schools right through college as the tools to advance their agenda.
We must fight right back!
