However, LaBarbara acknowledges that the major media will "invariably spin things in a homosexual direction

given the nature of the problem, would that be so far fetched?

One has to wonder how many millions our idiot government is going to spend on this preventable disease

I'm sure they'll take a wide stance on it.

Excuse my crudeness, but it seems like this infection would make ones petter drop off and give you a very sore rear end.

Now, it seems to me that this would have the effect of making the risky (actually disgusting) behavior impossible. Why isn't this self-limiting?

What were homosexuals expecting.... roses?

This is also the fault of the medical community that fails to warn the population that *this will happen* because it is not PC to do so. It’s our own fault too, we tolerate homosexual freedoms because we are Christians and we try to be too understanding to a fault, and this is what we get. I am not surprised, just thoroughly disgusted.

Excuse me, but this headline is crap. "Flesh-eating bacteria" are Group-A streptococcus. This article is about Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Those are completely, radically different organisms.

The mere fact of causing necrosis does not qualify MRSA as "flesh-eating" any more than a yellow-jacket sting which can also cause necrosis.

Life Site News ought to be more responsible in their choice of words, and not go out of their way to make themselves look like idiots. The awful conditions caused by MRSA are plenty bad without ruining one's credibility with foolish, obviously false headline words. It reads like the Weekly World News.

Especially in an article which purports to demonstrate the irresponsible statements of the gay community with regard to this scourge. Pot, meet kettle.

Now, back to the regularly-scheduled buggery, fudge-packing, and other "probing" comments...

Nothing to see here... big daddy gub’ment gotta tell me whether I can eat trans fats or smoke a cigar, on the outside chance of risking my health... but behaviors such as gay sex, which is a definite way to spread AIDS aand many other diseases, costing our health care and legal systems TRILLIONS... gotta be PC and not invade privacy or offend the alternative lifestyle. Why, hand out clean needles too so when they are injecting illegal heroin (with tacit approval of the government) they don’t inadvertently hurt themselves.

Let ‘em have at it, thin out the herds of pinko liberals - just don;t ask the taxpayer to save you from your own behaviors - you made the choice now live and die with it.

Just checkin'... you DO feel exactly the same way about tobacco smokers and alcohol drinkers and red-meat eaters, right? No taxpayer dollars for smokers' and drinkers' and red-meat-eaters' illnesses, like cancer, cirrhosis, heart disease? They all make their own choices, and can live and die with it.

(It happens, being of the libertarian persuasion, I DO feel exactly that way. I'm just making sure I understand your statement, and that we agree.)

How disgusting. Are they going to teach this to the 2nd graders in Massachusetts along with the rest of it?

Actually, if this article is at all correct, they're mostly destroying themselves and their own sub-culture. If heteros can restrain themselves from crossing over, shouldn't this scourge stay pretty much within the gay sector? It's not like anybody is going to "accidentally" bugger or be buggered without realizing it.

Peter LaBarbara, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, is hoping that the revelation of yet another homosexual epidemic will have an impact on the public's perception of homosexual behavior. "I think that the media, and Hollywood, and a lot of our policy makers and certainly academia are in a world of 'let's pretend' with regard to homosexual behavior and its consequences," he told LifeSiteNews. "They don't want to focus on the special risks that homosexual behavior, especially between men, have in the public health arena, and issues like this keep coming up."
Peter, Peter, Peter. Don't you know that such speech is a VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS? Aren't you aware of the fact that you are stepping dangerously close to committing a HATE CRIME? Better not say these words in the Faggot Republic of New Jersey. They'll lock your butt up for sure.

“The study’s authors note that the strong link between unhealthy behavior, particularly among homosexuals”

Is there anything they do that IS healthy?

See my comment #31 above -- I don't think my tax dollars should be spent underwriting or curing the effects of ANYONE'S foolish lifestyle choices. That includes smokers, drinkers, etc. I think as a society we could use a massive healthy dose of:

1. Responsibility for our own actions, and

2. Lower taxes

“I have to wonder if this new bacteria isn’t directly related to AIDS, gays and the drug cocktails they take.”

You don’t need to wonder. They are walking, talking, bio-reactors.

The plumbing is not being correctly used, this is one of the consequences of equipment misuse. The behavior needs to stop.
