Talking points on health care.

If we sat and talked about the relative behavior of groups and cultural values your position would not overcome the basic NIH and CDC numbers.

Which are?

The concentration and transportation of sexually transmitted disease is among the sexually libertine be they hetero or homo. The higher crossover is from homo into the hetero community.

Hmm. I see a few problems . The first sentence I have heard before and is true, that there are a relatively small number of highly sexually active people who therefore are more likely to catch diseases and pass them on. That isnt very startling. Active Rugby players are more likely to break their neck than the average member of the population. It does mean that health authorities are interested in trying to target advice at very active people.

Obviously though, because the heteros outnumber the homos 10:1 there are a lot more of them rushing around spreading diseases.

The hetero guys arent likely to be having much sex with other guys, so not likely to be passing anything on to the homos. The issue has to be about the crossover group, the guys who have sex with both men and women. I am being presumptious here, there is presumably a similar mirror consideration for gay women. It has been suggested that gay guys have a higher sex drive than straight, or that they just are more likely to cut the nonsense and get on with the sex, but I am not sure anyone has proved this.

Anyway, we have a bi guy having sex with men and women. The question must be, is he more likely to catch something from one of the straight women or the gay men? So its not about whether homosexual men or straight men are more likely to have something catching, but about whether homo men are more likely to be infectious then hetero women.

My advice to anyone who was worried about this would be to encourage gay men to be out and proud so they dont spend their lives in closet relationships with women nipping out now and then for a bit of gay fun.

Again, look at the numbers. Even disease like MRSA which starts in the hetero population will concentrate in the homo community

MRSA is sexually transmitted? What do they get up to in hospitals then, which is where everyone seems to catch it.

If we want lower health care cost we need to modify behavior in many ways, simple fact that was being driven to

less boozing, no fags (er, cigarettes), less fat, less food, more exercise? Now gay guys tend to be much more body conscious than straight ones so one would think they would also be healthier?

Also, an explanation of society's rejection of the gay lifestyle needed an explanation beyond an ick factor.

Adolf Hitler wanted someone to blame for everything which was going wrong. Mostly he concentrated on Jews, but he didnt mind the odd foray into the gay world. Of course he also produced a lot of homoerotic films but hey, whose confused.

Well, slap me silly and call me Judy! I was just being "nice" when I tried to negotiate a civil peace with the spiker for accusing me of being "a parasite on the Spanish health system" or something like that. But I take it back. I had no idea he was such a clueless cherry-picking christianist.

As for those insisting they are christians, but dif'errnt, sorry. It ain't gonna fly. But you're all welcome to believe what you want. I am definitely NOT AT CHRISTIAN. Just because some of the "core beliefs" seem OK and in line with other belief systems isn't enough for me to succumb to the "magic" of Jeebus. That's the religious forest in which the likes of Robert Tilton and other televangelists and sociopaths hide telling their sheep that the gods want the faggots to die, die, die!

Life is short. I don't put up with that shit. Take your little light and go hide it under a Bush (he might enjoy it).

As for STDs, I guess the spiker would insist that the current and somewhat alarming outbreak of syphilis among heterosexual high school teenagers behind "The Zion Curtain" in Ewetaw is directly related to all the bad homos who live there. After all, IT'S ALL OUR FAULT! And by 'it" I mean ALL THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FACT THAT MANY MODERN SOCIETIES ARE ACCEPTING OF "The Gay Life-style," . . . whatever the Hell that is.

Now go off and have a good day and please try and do at least one nice thing for someone less fortunate than you.
