NEW ORLEANS - Louisiana has the nation's worst gonorrhea rate and is in the top 10 for two other sexually transmitted diseases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

2002 was the second year in a row that Louisiana has had more cases of gonorrhea per 100,000 residents than any other - and the fifth in a row that it has been among the five worst for both gonorrhea and chlamydia.

Anything showing a correlation to Mardi Gra (sp)? Some of the stuff that goes on ... and cops look the other way ... is rather arousing to say the least. It's an invitation to STD's ... plus some liquor to dull the senses ... quite a time to be had by our less then endowed intellectuals.

And I'm sure all the drunken celebrations after the big LSU win isn't going to help matters much ;)

Is it also a gay heaven all year round? Is it possible it's primarily in the gay community?

"Is it also a gay heaven all year round? Is it possible it's primarily in the gay community?"

Well, we have ours just like any other city..but we're nowhere near as bad as San Francisco. I think the main problem with new orleans is all the social welfare handouts we give away every year. Historically, this has mostly been a democratic state as long as I have been here ('76) but I don't believe its without hope...yet. But we're gettin close. Bourbon St isn't so bad during the daytime..its mainly when the fests start up..we get a lot of punks from out of town. Seems like the locals aren't nearly as bad.

"The superintendant of schools father was making $70k a year, as a janitor."

LOL! I remember that story..couldn't believe a janitor could make that much. Seeing some old black guy with grey hair mopping the hallways..making 70K..who would have thought that?

Louisiana is NUMBER ONE in murder also!

In the year 2000 Louisiana had 12.5 Murders per 100,000 people, ranking the state as having the 1st highest rate for Murder.

I am re-posting this because I had previously listed the wrong link. This link is quite useful for death stat.s. on every state + various causes of death.
