Uganda passing law that allows them to put homosexuals to death.

In your ethnocentric, Western view it's bad. It's obviously not "bad" in many African cultures, otherwise those societies would have squashed this practice over the thousands of years these cultures developed.

Oh right, so look what happened when they got HIV then. Then the westerners had to come in and give them condoms and circumcision, and they wouldn't use the condoms in most brothels.

If I were Queen of the World, I would not regulate the sexual practices of others. Period. What people want to do between consenting adults, should be allowed amongst the consenting parties. Public education is a handy tool. Education linking evidence between higher numbers of sexual partners and the spread of STIs and how condom usage can greatly reduce one's risk for certain STIs. The gay community in the US did a very good job of getting this message out. If people choose to engage in risky sexual behaviors, and sex with multiple partners without the use of condoms is risky sexual behavior, it does impact society at large. However, it's not up to the government or society to tell people how they should live their lives. Drug abuse should be treated, not punishable by imprisonment. Unemployment... well, I'm not an economist, I really don't have enough understanding of the underlying causes of unemployment to offer a solution.

So your approach is reactive. Wait for the problem and then address it.

If 25% of Xians were drug users and 20% of them unemployed, you'd use it against us, wouldn't you?

I think we need to start by acknowledging the problems at hand. I'll post back with more later.
