I suspected portable gas generators.

[George J. Jetso]

Global Warming of course. What else can it be?

[shalom aleichem]

U-N-P-R-O-T-E-C-T-E-D S-E-X

[stevio]

I guess I must be an expert. I can explain the uptick in cases better than him.

[fwdude]

One word: Fags.

[mewzilla]

Since congenital syphilis rates are also way up, it’s not just gay men.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And here I always heard it was from having sex with infected people.

Once again, money apparently fixes EVERYTHING.

Bah.

[lizma2]

Wonder how many cases are showing up in kids.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yes it is but it can also be caught just by someone being in love with the wrong person at the wrong time.

Being "in love" gives you no infections.

Spreading your legs for the entire world to have a party or whipping out little willy to dip in any number of wells, that will result in you catching an infection.

[Gaffer]

Because IMMIGRATION!!! The screened and turned loose.

[wildcard_redneck]

You must be sh!t company to hang out with.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Reality bothers you I see.

It does most liberals.

[CFW]

There is a reason it is called “sexually transmitted” diseases and not “lack of government funding” diseases.

[fwdude]

Since congenital syphilis rates are also way up, it’s not just gay men.

Homosexuals are the source, one or two degrees removed.

The infants aren't having risky sex in utero.

[fwdude]

Sexually transmitted diseases are not caused by lack of government funding. They are caused by irresponsible behavior.

Only liberal "logic" can come up with the notion that subsidizing some activity results in getting LESS of it.

[Sequoyah101]

As usual, always, more money needed.

What a crock.

[Sequoyah101]

If only they had more money. /s

[Theophilus]

Romans 1:27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

[Vermont Lt]

These smart people don’t know how it’s spread!

[liberalh8ter]

Part of the reason cases of syphilis — as well as other STIs — are rising is because public health efforts to control these diseases are underfunded.

Well, at least we made sure African men know how to wash their penises. $800,000 for Africa to instruct uncircumcised men how to wash their penis
