Nature or nurture

[Gato_Solo]

William Shatner's a latent homosexual?!?!?

And all this time I thought it was only his acting that was gay...

*is happy she never attended summer camp... period!*

I can't think of anything worse than being in a hut full of smelly kids.

Being eaten by a walrus?

(Bloom County joke...)

Here is the "nature" part. I wonder what could be nurturing it:

New Strain of MRSA Spreads Among Gay Men
Tuesday, January 15, 2008

A new, highly drug-resistant strain of MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, has moved outside hospitals and is now spreading among gay men, researchers reported Monday.

Some of the hardest hit areas are San Francisco, Boston, New York and Los Angeles, according to a San Francisco Chronicle report.

Click here to read the San Francisco Chronicle story.

In regards to San Francisco, the study found sexually active gay men are 13 times more likely to be infected than the general population.

"We probably had it here first, and now it is spreading elsewhere," said Binh An Diep, a researcher at San Francisco General Hospital and lead author of the report, in a news release. "This is a national problem, and San Francisco is at the epicenter."

Although researchers have stopped short of declaring this form of staph a sexually transmitted disease, the infections are found where skin-to-skin contact occurs during sexual activity.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), MRSA is responsible for about 19,000 deaths annually in America — most of which occur in the hospital.

The findings appear online in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

Lots & lots of free sex that didn't make you sick or kill you.

Thats because some of the idiots who got those diseases decided that the penicillin they had in the medicine cabinet for a mild case of mononucleosis would work just fine on their case of the clap...

Bingo! Everything you do makes the survivors stronger. This whole antibacterial craze with antibacterial lotions, hand soaps, and shopping cart wipes merely makes the germs more bulletproof.

Ayup. Big haired rock sluts galore parading around trying to look like Christina Applegate or Tawny Kittaen and throwing down with any guy whose hair reached mid-back or longer.

Weren't you the one advocating "abstinence only" education and "keep it in your pants" and all that in another thread? You don't really mind being hypocritical do you?
