You also don't develop AIDS as long as you stay on antiretrovirals.

I was under the impression that it was pretty much impossible to contract HIV from someone on antiretrovirals.

Yeah, assuming the antiretrovirals are all working great (and the person is taking them on time) and the viral load is suppressed.  Still doesn't hurt to be extra safe.

It's worth noting that the odds of catching HIV from a single exposure are not too high to begin with.

Even if you say, prick yourself on an "infected" needle?

HIV actually dies fairly quickly when exposed to open air, so an infected needle may or may not actually end up being able to infect you.

US government considering prosecuting journalists who broke the story about the US launching a secret cyber attack on a foreign nation.  I should note the US considers a cyber attack on THEM to be a declaration of war.  So... yeah ._. some of our congressmen are utterly insane.

Anyone who would vote for that is a traitor and should receive a fair trial and then be shot.

Written by liberals, too.

I came up with a visual metaphor/simile yesterday; an accuracy check please. "American politics is like a jigsaw puzzle, where each voter brings a piece. It's possible to form a picture without all of the pieces, but you could end up with just an ass."

I remember a TV show from just after 9/11 where they went around reading out various quotes from the US constitution and asked random Americans where they thought they was from, everyone looked nervous and said "communism" etc.

I'd like to point out that those kind of "interviews" are always chosen from a big batch to prove the editors point. They do a lot of them at a time and then cherry pick the few stupid ones.
