Woah, I didn't even know what you meant until I Googled this. I assume you're talking about the rumors/news that he's HIV-positive?
That does suck. Even if he's been a crazy ass, I don't wish HIV on anyone, although the treatment has supposedly gotten a ton better in recent years, especially if you're rich, like him.
I was never much of a womanizer, but I did have drug addiction in my past, so I understand the fear of diseases. I'm guessing he got the disease through women instead of needles, though?
I would think it would be hard to tell. Clearly, there have been drugs involved, but I think he also unabashedly frequented hookers. Regardless, very sad (although preventable) news. I agree that treatments have gotten very effective, but wondering how seriously he'll take his health. If the rumors are true, I really feel for those he may have had relations with while knowing, and not disclosing, he had tested positive.

Saw it from a mile away. First thought was this should not even be in the news, I would be more surprised if he were HIV negative. I CAN'T STAND ENTERTAINERS. They are disgusting degenerates whose goal is to promote the idea that all behaviors should be accepted and celebrated. They are in large part responsible for the destruction of the family, and the half-century of skyrocketing divorce, poverty, out of wedlock births, household income inequality, and STD rates that followed.
Charlie Sheen should be thankful he has it now and in the USA rather than 25 years ago, as advanced medical technology shouldn't stop him from living a healthy life.
I truly feel for the guy, but I also feel for the women who are sitting on their computers right now saying, "Oh Sh-t." Meanwhile, Sheen will be hailed as "brave" while we all mourn his terrible disease. No one cares about the women (men?) to whom he may have passed along this terrible disease.
Blue Horseshoe love sharing needles.
Sheen was the longtime BF of porn actress Ginger Lynn. The men the porn actresses "work" with are often guilty of careless sex encounters (John Holmes). Besides Ginger, Sheen "dated" several porn actresses.

given the events in Paris I really could not care any less what happens to a drug addled son of a famous actor.
If Sheen did knowingly sleep with people while not telling them he had HIV, yeah, that's just awful. I think I've seen that classified as various kinds of murder or manslaughter before.
Hopefully that did not happen.
HIV is a real bitch.

Really? I thought the conservative narrative was that people's personal situation, or lot, in life was 100% under their own control and that external forces play no role. How, in three posts (two of which were mine), can this turn into a political topic?

Ted, to answer your last question, it's because this is LetsRun. Honestly, the fact that EVERY post not having to do with running (and most HAVING to do with running!) gets turned political is a large part of the reason why I don't frequent these boards anymore.
Liberals = a mental disorder is, of course, one of the prime reasons why this board is swamped in politics 24/7.
Anyways, hopefully Charlie didn't spread HIV to anyone else who didn't already have it. As I said earlier, HIV isn't fun, and I don't wish it on anyone.

LRC is just a microcosm of the internet. Everything is political on the Internet. What is so weird is that when you actually talk to live human beings, most are pretty cool folks.

Yeah, I guess you're right. And yes, people are usually a lot better in person.
Maybe I just notice on LetsRun, because I tend to be more of a liberal than a conservative, and most on this board are clearly conservatives? I don't know....

While I don't wish HIV on anyone, c'mon now. These women were sleeping with Charlie Sheen for christ's sake. That's like eating 10 pounds of Crisco a day and then wondering why you weigh 400+.

How are the two equal? You know exactly what crisco is based on required labeling laws. You know the exact caloric value of 10lbs of crisco. You only know Charlie Sheen is HIV+ if he discloses or if it is made public some other way. Now that his status is out there (allegedly), the comparison would be more apt.

The point is the guy has been known for years to sleep with prostitutes and porn stars...you know, people who are not exactly sexually austere. No person in their right mind would go near that guy. Running your sexual organs through a meat grinder would almost be preferable.

That would be a mystery. Eating fat doesn't make you fat.
Thoughts on where his career goes from here?
Depends how he got it and how many people he's given it to by now.
He had to do something to upstage the Jenner/Kaitlin fiasco...
