For the Married Guys (And the Guys Who Have Been Married),

Curious, thanks for sharing your views on this topic.
Although I tend to agree with Iwog (based on what I myself have read and researched) that the disease is primarily sustained through drug use and homsexual sex, I have also read many articles that argue that anal sex among heterosexuals is more common than it's ever been. That would certainly sway things in the favor of women's rate of contracting the disease rising, if that were true.
Plane and simple, sex these days can be pretty scary stuff... - On 27 Jan 2013

Most people, including smart people like Iwog, don't seem to realize that a majority of the 30 million adults with HIV are women, who typically got it from their adulterous husbands.
That's a contradiction and inconsistent with what I recently read.
First, if women are typically getting HIV from their adulterous husbands, then wouldn't their source be more likely to make up the majority of the 30mil adults with HIV, lol.
Contrary to what you are saying, I've read that 75% of the population in the USA with HIV are men, with the majority being gay/bi men. - On 26 Jan 2013

Why do people waste so much money on cars?,

Personally I'd never buy a Subaru. You are still wasting a lot of money on gas for the 4WD gas mileage penalty. Plus Subaru still makes cars where the engine explodes if the timing belt breaks (almost nobody else does that). That last part probably is irrelevant if you only keep it 3 years though.
Thedaytoday is right about the residual value on these things, people wildly overpay for used Subarus.
Can you elaborate on the engine issue?
Peter, an "interference" engine is one that if the timing belt snaps, the pistons continue to go up and down in their bores while the cam stops activating the valves. That means that the piston contacts the open valves leading to complete destruction of the engine.
I can't comment on whether of not Subaru is the only car manufacturer that still makes interference engines. But snapped timing belts are rare.
