      It is stooopid and insensative for you to indirectly say that AIDS will come to Nihon via Thailand. AIDS is already in Nihon! And your attempt to make Japanese racists on the incorrect fear that Thailand will bring this disease to Nihon is out of line and very evil which is a characteristic of your race!
