People can only drive down a one-way street the wrong way so many times before the odds catch up with them and there’s an ‘accident’ which totals both vehicles.

IMO, it’s natures way of controlling traffic.

I sure hope that MRSA is not a sign of God’s wrath, because homosexual sex is not the only way it is spread. I have read that the bacteria seems to often be found around seafood or shellfish. There was a local little boy who got it on his lip after running into a poll during a basketball game and numerous other anecdotal stories about MRSA that are totally unrelated to homosexual activity.

Oh foul Gallup, Harris, Rasmussen and Zogby!! I rebuke you satanic polls in the Name of the LORD!

“will inevitably produce ever more virulent and drug resistant critters which will go on to harass the rest of society.”

You put your finger on the problem. HIV/Aids patients are on high powered cocktails of drugs, to prop up a damaged immune system.

Normal everyday bugs will turn more virulent in these walking bio-reactors. It is guaranteed.

Before you start calling people knucklehead, knucklehead, check to see who you are quoting first. I didn’t say it, so get off your high horse with me.

Good thing the Lord has better aim eh?

I'd hate to see Him have to recall one of those flaming boulders of fire and brimstone because He tossed it at Fresno instead of San Francrisco.

"claiming this is God’s wrath poured out on mankind."

Maybe it is? We don't know for sure either way.

You are right that sodomy is not the only way to acquire HIV/AIDS, but according to the US Centers for Disease Control, “Of newly diagnosed HIV infections in the United States during 2003, CDC estimated that approximately 63% were among men who were infected through sexual contact with other men...” http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5424a2.htm

"The next gay disease to be blamed on Republicans. Coming to your TV screens in 2010."

On the contrary - it is coming to your TV screens in 2008 starring John McCaniac who will say that it is caused by global warming which only he can stop.

What they didn’t mention in this article is that there is a new drug resistant strain of HIV to go along with the drug resistant staph. The NYT had a ridiculous article on it and the relationship to meth. It seems that gays who frequent bath houses have discovered that meth enhances the random and group sex experience. The NYT claims that although the drug use is rampant within the gay community, it limited to gay white men.

Thanks for the link. I posted the AP version of the story on 10/16/2007.

Staph fatalities may exceed AIDS deaths

In comment# 1, I linked the original Journal of the American Medical Association(JAMA) article which had been open access at the time. Now they want a fee to access their archives.

Invasive Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections in the United States

Here's the abstract.

I routinely link the abstracts. I link entire articles only when they are free.

So that would be Drug induced Psycotic tweekers men having high risk gomorah and sodomy sex.

Dang that’s a mouthful.

Just amazing how extreme people can get.

I feel blessed finding it difficult to just chat in a group of more than two people at the local family grocery store and then hope I don’t catch the cold/flu of the week.

Right now it does not matter if it is a bacteria or virus....the queers are spreading both!!!!!! Think about it!

Hmmmmm I'm thinking.....so if I understand you the disease doesn't matter it's just that gays are spreading it. We don't need to concentrate on the disease just the dislike of "them".

Quick, add MRSA to the list of AIDS defining diseases.

That way anyone who is HIV positive and then gets MRSA will become another AIDS victim. If you're not HIV postive, don't bother us, we only deal with true victims of AIDS.

If none of the above makes any sense to you, don't feel bad. I wrote it and it doesn't make any sense to me either.

Republicans keep resisting the passage of laws that would stop this kind of discrimination practiced by viruses and bacteria.
