I've just been listening to this soundtrack of this movie by Angelo Badalamenti. I've never seen this movie, so went to find it. No torrent anywhere. Anybody know why or is the film any good?

To me, it's more a question of quality of life. I know people who say no to drugs or save themselves for Jesus. They die like the rest of us. If you knew you were going to die next week and some hot guy you're about to have sex with gives you the option, which would you chose. Well here's the news, You are gonna die. If Jesus died for your sins what are you gonna say, 'Not mine, I haven't got any'. And is 'I never experienced exstacy' the best way to sum up what your life was about on your tombstone.

There is no right and wrong answer to these questions but there is a lot of bullshit and propaganda around them. Before HIV became popular the blockbuster STD was Herpes. That's only because they found a treatment for it. Before that, Herpes was considered endemic and just part of growing up. At one time, Syphilis was considered a 'Gentleman's Disease' that a woman should only contract on her wedding night.

So the answer to your question has got to be, 'it's up to you'. There are far worse things in life than HIV. Most STDs have fewer symptoms than the common cold and are far less infectious yet people go around sneezing at work with no shame. Some people are resistant to the treatments and die anyway. Some people are allergic to Alcohol and would die if they drink. Should nobody drink just in case. You're only alive for a short time, enjoy it while you can. But be grown up about it. You know the risks and you chose to take them. Both risk and reward are yours, not your (supposedly) "Clean" (hate that) partner, not your knee trembler with a faceless stranger in the alley
