>> Christiane Amanpour announced on CNN that John Paul II was the first "non-Catholic" pope to be elected in 455 years.

LOL!

[Sofa King]

This is a 20 year old article, right?

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

Here is my "targeted HIV prevention program" that will, if followed, result in a dramatic decrease in the spread of HIV:

"HEY! YOU GAY GUYS! CUT THAT S*** OUT!"

Thank you.

[sofaman]

That's what happens when men play with Dick Durbin

later pingout?

[Tulane]

Exactly...good to know we are spending money on figuring out obvious questions.

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

Here's a free campaign slogan for my friends back in Illinois:
"Dick Durbin - Before He Dicks You!"

Who knew?

Money we might otherwise spend on something totally useless.

As Sam Kinison used to say, "You pretty much have to make an appointment to get AIDS." ARrrrrggg! ARrrrrggg! ARrrrrggg!

Whoda thunk it!

[Tax-chick]

Why they're not promiscuous, are they?

I don't know ... maybe you could get a federally-funded grant to study the question.

"Money we might otherwise spend on something totally useless."

The problem is that when you try to present the simple facts to the homosexual population, they've always got a "But".

[RegulatorCountry]

"Does this mean that 33% of gay men in baltimore have AIDS, or was the study done only of a specific group that already suspected they had the disease."

Doesn't say whether this was set up to be a statistically valid sampling of the entire population, so I'd say that this is probably not indicative of the population as a whole. From the sound of it, the participants self-selected based upon their participation in high-risk sexual behavior. Assuming this is correct, and depending upon the ratio of participants, the actual rate of infection for gay men in the study who are not black, and engage in high-risk sexual activity, will be lower than 33%. The 50% rate of infection for black men should frighten any sane person away from risky sexual behavior, but apparently it has not, so at some point in the not to distant future, Baltimore is going to have far fewer gay black men, and they will have done it to themselves.

[Tax-chick]

they've always got a "But".

And that's why they've got high rates of HIV infection, in a nutshell.

[sgtbono2002]

The But was spelled with one T

Also having a Butt is a major cause of homosexual Aids.
