I posted this in the GH3 thread, but theres a better chance you'll see it here:

Off topic, but...

Clearly you're a big Foo Fighter fan, so I was wondering how you feel about their stance on HIV/AIDS? Personlly, I find it ignorant and dangerous and has been the reason I can't consider myself a fan of theirs anymore. But I'm interested in how you feel about it.

In 2000, the band generated controversy through their public support of Alive & Well, an organization that denies the link between HIV and AIDS, questions the validity of HIV tests, and advises against taking medication to counter the disease.

They also organized and played a benefit concert for Alive & Well.
