Con - Thinking With Somebody Else's Head -
http://somebodyelseshead.blogspot.com - FUCKTARD! Using anti-feminism and pseudo-science couched in a religious podcast, the guy also released a podcast decrying the "Myths of HIV". Yes, he's an HIV denier. The myths include that 1) HIV causes AIDS, 2) That it is sexually transmitted, 3) That there is no cure. Check it out, just don't subscribe to the damn thing.

I'd love to talk about why folks consider breast milk so disgusting. Technically speaking it is the ONLY type of milk that is actually made for human consumption. Instead it's perfectly acceptable to drink maternal juices that come out of a cow's tit, meant for calves to drink? That's fucked up.
