		<description>Your friend is quite right Mariam, everyone has certain physiological needs that must be satisfied and sometimes the dogma of organized religion is in direct conflict with those needs. A prime example is the Catholic Church&#039;s requirement that priests must be celibate. Well, unless a man is castrated, this is nearly impossible. I think that the Catholic Church teaches that masturbation is a sin, so what is a priest to do? Well, homosexual acts with other priests may satisfy their libidos, which is an even worse sin. Or, some priests are driven to become pedophiles which is a horrific crime, in my opinion.

I think there are some issues of morality that transcend any sort of religious dogma. For example, a person should never lie or break promises. I suppose that some would argue that lying to the enemy during war time is a moral thing to do. Perhaps it is. During WWII, the Americans and the British convinced the Germans with fake radio transmissions that the invasion of France would take place far from the actual landing zone in Normandy. This ruse probably saved many thousands of Allied lives. However, simply one person lying to another where there are no lives at stake, is completely immoral, as far as I am concerned.</description>

		<description>David, 

As usual thanks for your insightful comments :) I think the problem is cultural here… people are very curious, we are simply not used to better.. Everyone gets in everyone else&#039;s affairs… it borders the hilarious sometimes. 

I think hypocrisy exists in any society that follows organized religion… this is the case in Jordan and the case in the States… as long as you are required to rise above humanity… people have no choice but to become hypocrite…as long as we get our status from a society that sees being religious as decent… then we have to have parallel lives…  I mean as a friend of mine used to say.. .and please forgive the crudity and the vulgarity of the comments… but everyone shits and everyone fucks… it is just human.</description>

		<description>The absence of anonymity for Jordanian AIDS patients is really unfortunate. The fear of public humiliation will discourage people from getting tested for the disease. If they won&#039;t get tested, they may continue to spread the disease to other people, or they will delay getting treatment for themselves until it may be too late.

In the U.S., anonymous HIV testing had been available in most cities for years now. Doctor patient confidentiality is a very important and long established principle. However, one thing that works against this principle is that health insurance companies demand to know a patient&#039;s health history before allowing her/him to sign up for insurance. Most, if not all, private insurance companies will not enroll a person with any sort of chronic health problem. Compounding the problem is the fact that insurance companies share information about patient health histories with each other. America really needs a national health care system that will give everyone access to the system regardless of the state of their health or their ability to pay for treatment. Anyway, as you can see, I have reasons to be very disappointed about health care in America!

I can assure you that American people are equally guilty of hypocrisy! Many pretend to be religious, but when they think they can get away with it, they will do all variety of immoral acts.</description>

		<description>As if the patient doesn&#039;t already have to deal with a lot. Those &quot;Medical Professionals&quot; should be stripped from their jobs dishonorably,until they learn the ethics of what they do!

Don&#039;t let people with double standards get to you madas,I know they are all over the place,but these kinds of people are specifically insecure and can be taken down easily if they think of mis approaching you.</description>
