Whats everyones take on this?
Answer
This is pretty popular among conspiracy theorists. One of the biggest reasons being that it was primarily 'undesirables' (e.g. druggies, homosexuals, blacks) who got it*.
It's interesting to note that in 1969 a research administrator for the US DoD, Dr Donald MacArthur informed a House military appropriations subcommittee that they were working on a new micro-organism that would essentially break up the immune system; he gave a time line of 5-10 years. Congress approved funding and less than 10 years later, AIDS appeared in Africa.
In 1984, an Indian newspaper accused the US Army of creating AIDS as a weapon. They quoted an official military research publication.
Creating further speculation: in 1978, over 1000 gay men in monogamous relationships received what was purportedly a Hepatits B vaccine (then in experimental stages) in NYC. The next year, the first US cases of AIDS were recorded. Seven years later, over 60% of that group was dying from the disease. Concurrently, two other AIDS-related illnesses, Kaposi's sarcoma and Mycoplasma penetrans appeared in NYC.
Did the US Army create AIDS? A similar virus existed in African apes before appearing in humans. Typically virus don't jump species. The article in the Indian newspaper claims that the Army Biological Warfare Laboratory at Ft Detrick Maryland searched throughout Africa for a powerful virus.
Creating even further speculation, an army colonel, David Huxsoll, is reported as saying that AIDS was studied and determined to be a poor biological warfare agent (he has since denied saying this).
As far as conspiracy theories go, this one has a LOT of things behind it creating speculation.

Why are 'agony aunt' columns so popular in newspapers?

I want your views about this. To start with, we can think in the terms of these--
1. Do the readers feel it will be able to solve their problems indirectly?
2. Does the feeling of peeping into others' private life and personal concerns attract readers (voyuerism)?
3. Does it make them feel superior coz they don't have such problems?
Answer
Human's are social creatures, we thrive on interaction. We want to be sure we have made and will make wise choices, for ourselves and tend to ask those who whe think have more expierence than us. If that means writing to somebody in a newspaper from which we have seen provides valuable advice to others so be it i suppose. I believe that reading about other peoples' lives is interesting it helps us feel less alone, and helps us remember that we aren't the only one with issues in our lives, making us feel more normal. Depending on the person they could possibly feel superior to people who have greater problems then them, but i would think that moreso people would feel pitty or sorry for them instead.
