Allright I have to step in here. This is a ridiculous statement, firstly because it is completely untrue, and secondly because it is appearing on a street racing thread. The "facts" are that millions of heterosexuals have died of AIDS of are living with HIV. It's difficult to argue that you're not going through life with "blinders" on when you make statements like this.
