HIV / AIDS [as well as several other gay specific diseases] is proof that God wants to see queers die slow, miserable deaths with streams of HIV infected diarrhea and infected pus wart discharge seeping down the legs of the Genetic Dead End who chose the wrong path..

In the Old Testament, God made it pretty clear he didn't like butt-****.  Based on the New Testament, I think we are supposed to try and tolerate them - not make their lives any worse than they already are, so long as they keep their dicks in their rainbow panties. Something, something about the Golden Rule in there somewhere.

If my own cross to bear had not been close like a brother, I'd have bailed eons ago.

As it is, I am spared dealing with him for months at a time when he ghosts me.

I hear ya, brother.
My whole family is scattered and hit or miss these days.
I take what I can get.

I feel like Barbarosa (but with ears intact).

Mine is mostly dead - they lived hard. Two brothers down and one circling. I flew to Vegas at the beginning of the month to say goodbye to him.

This guy was just a close friend - but as I said, very like a brother in terms of how much water under the bridge, how many shared seminal experiences, how many changes we went through together. And having him become this helpless thing - a helpless thing that EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE laughs with me and writes jokes with me and reminisces with me, only to slip away again like some real life version of Garner's movie "The Notebook" - THAT is some **** up ****. 

It's not creepy. It's just heart breaking.

I truly wish there was a cure for these people.  They live life scared and delusional, or numb and doped up.  The people around them end up scared and crazy too.  Because, there's not a damn thing they can do for them as Schizophrenics get older.

Ok, Rog, it seems like you've got something to say on this topic.  Don't hold back, fire away.

I actually don't as I've never had a personal experience with a schizophrenic..

Creepy and beyond your control are two completely different realms of circumstance.
The slow disintegration of a person is hard on everyone concerned.

You ever see The Savages? There a couple of great scenes that echo my feelings about this ****.
Philip Seymour Hoffman is great as usual.
