"Yes", we can all see how our country has evolved since the fifties.. We have rampant crime all across the country, drug abuse and AIDS are almost at pandemic levels, we have millions of people that are unemployed, underemployed, or homeless, and what amount to a welfare state populated by people who believe the productive members of our society owe them a living. Yeah, hooray for evolution and progress!

This is the strength of evolution, and the next step for mamallian existence.
Yep eventually there will be no talk of race, and multiculturalism will not be a threat due to extremists, but a reality found through interbreeeding among different cultures.

wow! that sounds like such a Utopian society. The problem with multiculturalism is, most of it's supporters are unwilling to give up their own cultural biases and ethnic prejudices to embrace anyone else's culture.

Well if is something I have learned during my life as a voter with quite more than a few presidents under my lifetime is. . .that is not such thing as an honest politician.
They all frauds, and if you don't believe me just research from whom they get their biggest campaign funds because those are the ones that will get the favors.
Perhaps if we all Americans get together (instead of dividing ourselves for dirty political candidates and bickering so much) and donate enough money (perhaps a few millions) we my be able to bid and compete with big interest to buy back some of the politicians in Washington and have them work for us for once in the history of this nation.
Good luck with the Fraud OP.

New york is still a cesspool and normal people are afraid to leave their homes at night because of gangs and crackheads. Heroine is also making a comeback in some parts of the country as well.

You are right, It is always darkest right before the dawn. We've always had problems after serious changes.
Think about the "gangs of new york" scenario if you will. We've progressed much from there. Eventually we ended up with the 70's and heroin running through the same places, but we recovered from that as well. New York is still a rough place, but nothing like it was then.
Thats the beauty of humanity is that we adapt. Recently in Houston hope was made for treatment which basically kills HIV. These are horrible things, but we will grow through them.
The plagues of Europe made the descendants of the survivors (those who were exposed but lived) immune to HIV. Our generation's descendants will have this same ability through the progress that we have made.
Economics are also trend based, and the crisis you speak of today, although actual and painful will subside with time and innovations.
It may indeed get worse before it gets better, but it will get better.
Well see that's where the obsolesence of these types of people comes into play. They will all eventually die out. Their children are interbreeding with other cultures. And no amount of honor killings will stop this. That, my friend, is human nature as well. We are stubborn folk you are right, but that which we are stubborn about changes from generation to generation, especially when faced with the power of the post modern world views today vs the outdated world views which are dying off.

I don't see where anything is getting better, only worse. America is in a state of decay as a result of too many liberal policies. We need to go back to the values we held to in the past.

Rather than focusing on cures, we need to address responsible behavior. Aside from the people who got infected via transfusions, these individuals signed their own death warrants by engaging in irresponsible behaviors like prostitution, IV drug use, homosexuality, unprotected sex, promiscuity, etc.

As far as I know, no population is immune from contracting HIV/AIDS. Do you have a source for that? I'd be interested in reading it.

It will reside when we have a fiscally responsible government, and not until.

That's wishful thinking on your part. God made us all different for a purpose, and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. Who wants to live in a gray World where everyone is just alike? I don't. It's sounds pretty boring to me. People will still find things to discriminate over or kill for, that's human nature.
