"Penicillin has long been the recommended treatment for syphilis. But it must be given in two buttocks injections much more painful than typical shots, because a large amount of the solution must be forced into the muscle."

I would think at least the homosexual sufferers would not be adverse to an injection in the butt.

You oh so conveniently left out this part
if we were to repeat this analysis today the life expectancy of gay and bisexual men would be greatly improved. Deaths from HIV infection have declined dramatically in this population since 1996. As we have previously reported there has been a threefold decrease in mortality
As I said, fundamental dishonest will not win my respect.

Speculation by the researchers? Unsupported by any actual gathering of data to prove this hypothesis? And you claim to spurn Cameron and his methods.

I suggest the possibility that you are motivated more by your gay activism and your desire to bash those who disagree with the homosexual agenda

More baseless charges. It's untrue when LJ says it and it's untrue when you say it. I take my position based on my libertarian beliefs and as Justice Louis Brandeis so eloquently put it, man's "right to be let alone."

For example, I don't recall seeing you espouse libertarian principles on the drug war threads, or the gun control threads. If I'm not mistaken, you have only claimed support for the noble libertarian ideal on gay rights threads.

ROFLMAO! Seriously, that one's a riot. An absolute riot. You really don't know my postings do you? Go ahead, search my name on the drug war threads and see what you find. Please. Please do it. Then come back and admit how completely wrong, and stupid, such a accusation is.

By the way: the "part" that you reference in your Post #42 is not a "part" of the original research published in 1997. Rather, it is part of a letter to the editor sent in 2001.

Fundamental dishonesty doesn't win my respect either.

The blame lies with patients who demand antibiotics even when they have a viral infection, doctors who prescribe them simply to appease the demands of patients, and careless consumers who pass around antibiotics to others for whom they're not prescribed or don't follow the prescribed course of treatment.

Probably what disappoints me most, and I hope I'm wrong, is that you seem to take delight in any news like this, anything that provides ammo you can use to vilify homosexuals. That to me doesn't seem to embody the compassion of Christianity, it reflects obsession and vindictiveness.

....cough....denial....cough

Deaths have declined because of drug cocktails, which have side effects, cost vast quantities of money, and the AIDS sufferers can still infect others, which they still continue to do.

There was a lull when "gays", to some degree, shunned some of the more egregious unsafe sexual practices they generally indulge in. But in the last several years (I started reading about this increase in the late 90s) many "gays" - especially youngers ones - increasingly practice very risky sexual acts, including promiscuous, anonymous anal sex, and even "barebacking" parties; all of which are likely fueling an upswing in not only new AIDS cases but other STDS, such as syphilis, gonorrhea, Hep C, and others.

There's nothing dishonest about that whatsoever, the letter to the editor is from the original authors. You need to read a little closer before you put your foot in your mouth, something you're apparently prone to do.

After a careful search of your postings, I have spotted a few in support of libertarian ideals on a drug war thread. Strangely enough, nothing supporting libertarian ideals on a gun control thread has emerged.

Could that be due to the fact that libertarian ideals coincide with dope-smoking, gay-loving, gun-hating left-wing ideals regarding the drug war and gay rights, but not regarding gun control?

Your up-front profession of Christian beliefs appears to be at odds with your subsequent and absolute refusal to discuss them. Strange indeed.

I guess you completely discounted the possibility that I live in a right to carry state, so I'm not as attuned to the issue as those in other, more fascist, states.

I see it's taken you only a handful of posts to resort to childish name calling. Why don't you try growing up and having a discussion like an adult, otherwise, pretend I'm not here.

Again you say:

***It's untrue when LJ says it and it's untrue when you say it. I take my position based on my libertarian beliefs and as Justice Louis Brandeis so eloquently put it, man's "right to be let alone."***

A transparent lie, spoken like a true follower and supporter of the "gay" agenda. Homosexual radicals (and how many speak out against the agenda of the "gay" radicals? Camille Paglia and Tammy Bruce, that's about it) speak nonsense about being "left alone" but in reality they want dominance, and to shut up any and all opposition.

The truth is they won't leave us alone. Why should roughly 2% of the population (a fluid number as people move in and out of being homosexual) control and change the entire culture and meaning of marriage to further their political and social agenda, which the majority of the American population do not agree with?

(And the history of the world, medical reality, and all monotheist religions of the world all condemn as immoral, unnatural, and unhealthy?)

By the way: how do you feel about the phenomenon of "bug chasers" and "gift givers," or is your relationship with them none of my business as well?

Nonsense.

Yeah, that's what we need, more freepers who ignore context. One homosexual man stating the well known health hazards of homosexuality (behavior) and how the health hazards are just getting worse demonstrates indifference.

Also letting a baby drink a bottle of milk laying down contributes to ear infections.

Condoms work pretty well, you know. For those of us who haven't been lucky enough to meet the 'right ' woman.

No excuse for riding bare-back these days, chaps.

If that was supposed to be some lowball insinuation, just tell me exactly what you're saying. I'd hate to hit the abuse button mistakenly.
