Chlamydia helps young men feel more 'manly': Swedish study
The Local ^ | 8/24/09 | David Landes

Young men who contract sexually transmitted diseases often view their afflictions as an affirmation of their manhood, a new Swedish study shows.
Upon learning they’ve been infected with a sexually transmitted disease, some young people simply see themselves as unlucky, while others undergo a maturation process which leads them to be more careful in their sexual habits, according to midwife and University of Skövde researcher Kina Hammarlund.

I've seen other reports that STD’s are a status symbol in the homosexual community. They call themselves “bug chasers” and they seek out those they call “gift givers” who have the disease they are looking to acquire.

Every time I hear of such things, I'm reminded of Proverbs 8:36: "But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death."

You can not stop some people from being idiots.

How is the gold become dim!
how is the most fine gold changed!
the stones of the sanctuary are poured out
in the top of every street.

The precious sons of Zion,
comparable to fine gold,
how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers,
the work of the hands of the potter!

Even the sea monsters draw out the breast,
they give suck to their young ones:
the daughter of my people is become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.

The tongue of the sucking child
cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst:
the young children ask bread,
and no man breaketh it unto them.

They that feed delicately
are desolate in the streets:
they that were brought up in scarlet
embrace dunghills.

For the punishment of the iniquity
of the daughter of my people
is GREATER THAN THE PUNISHMENT
OF THE SIN OF SODOM,
THAT WAS OVERTHROWN IN A MOMENT,
AND NO HANDS STAYED ON HER.

**************************************************

Which is to say, OneVike, why do you think that our Lord will be so generous as to give our nation the quick and merciful punishment allotted for Sodom?

Why do you wait for the “punishment to come”? The punishment may already be here. And it may be here for a long while.

Optimist!

Oh, I do not think we as a nation will see a quick judgment. I think we will slowly cook like the frog in the pot of warming to boiling water. I just used the Sodom and Gomorrah bit as an analogy of what the whole world can expect, not just America.

lady lawyer, posted a good comment in #20 that I would much agree with.

I agree with her here because I am also not a real strong advocate of the tribulation. (I don't know if she is or is not an advocate though) Now I may be wrong, but I just have my doubts about the evidence used by those who tout a tribulation that will allow for some Christians to miss all the σκύβαλον hitting the fan.

Sounds like homosexuals saying you need to have HIV to be “authentically” homosexual.

Maybe while they’re at it they can cut off a few toes.

That’s cool too.

Kramer enters.

Kramer: Well, I got gonorrhea.

Elaine: That seems about right.

Kramer: That’s what they gave me.

George: They? The Government?

Jerry: No, no. He’s pretending he’s got gonorrhea so med students can diagnose
it.

Kramer: And it’s a waste of my talent. It’s just a little burning. Mickey, he
got bacterial meningitis.

George: I guess there are no small diseases, only small actors.

The other three start laughing.

George (leaving): Alright that’s it for me. Good night everybody.

Elaine: What was that?

Jerry: Showmanship, George is trying to get out on a high note.

Kramer: See, showmanship. Maybe that’s what my gonorrhea is missing.

Jerry: Yes! Step into that spotlight and belt that gonorrhea out to the back
row.

Kramer: Yes, yes I will! I’m gonna make people feel my gonorrhea, and feel the
gonorrhea themselves.

New scene.
Mt. Sanai Hospital. Kramer is on the table surrounded by med students.

Student #1: And are you experiencing any discomfort?

Kramer: Just a little burning during urination.

Student #1: Okay, any other pain?

Kramer: The haunting memories of lost love. May I? (signals to Mickey)
Lights? (Mickey turns down the lights and Kramer lights a cigarette) Our eyes met across the crowded hat store. I, a customer, and she a coquettish haberdasher.
Oh, I pursued and she withdrew, then she pursued and I withdrew, and so we
danced. I burned for her, much like the burning during urination that I would
experience soon afterwards.

Student #1: Gonorrhea?!

Kramer: Gonorrhea!

The lab breaks out in spontaneous applause as Mickey turns up the lights and
Kramer takes a bow.

It’s probably more seen as proof of being sexually active than anything else.

This kind of behavior isn’t expressly mentioned in the bible, but it does fit in with the general theme of calling evil good.

Hey, it's cool to get STD's today.

It's all fun and games until it hurts to pee.

True, you may notice I did not say I was quoting the Bible. As you say, it does fit in with the general theme of calling evil good.

I guess it’s one of those self-defensive things. Probably why you have outlived so many of us.

This is gross but I want to share this info. A person who has more than 5 oral sex partners has a 250% risk of developing throat cancer than those who don’t engage in the act.This is what happens when people put things where they don’t belong!!!!
