STDs in L.A. County are skyrocketing. Officials think racism and stigma may be to blame

he teenagers tucked their hands into their sweatshirt pockets as they shuffled to form a circle. Some gazed at the asphalt, trying to avoid the game they had been drafted to play.

“It’s like hot potato/musical chairs, but with a penis,” said the girl leading the group.

The kids gathered on a spring morning in South Los Angeles were about to get a hands-on lesson in sex education.

Many health experts say that public health problems are best tackled outside the doctor’s office — that fixing the culture that perpetuates them is more effective than changing a single patient’s behavior. For sexual health, that means combating the stigma around sex.

“STDs in L.A. County are skyrocketing. Officials think racism and stigma may be to blame” No word on how racism fits here but liberals always blame all their problems on someone else.

So.... Last year, I went to see the total eclipse. It was amazing, glad that I went.

Being moderately interested in it, I made the prediction beforehand that liberals would be "blaming" the eclipse on "Global Warming". Or "Climate Change" on the eclipse.

I can say that I was wrong. Didn't find one news article - and I was looking - that mentioned "eclipse" and "Global Warming".

However there were more than a few that called the eclipse "Racist". It didn't pass over enough minority-populated locations in the US, you see.

I wish that I was kidding.

You think STDs are out of control in L.A. County. How about TDS?

And the ones that only pass over Africa are racist as well?

No, those are just sticking it to "The Man". :-)

I was surprised - total eclipses are actually quite common. They're just over the African interior, or the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or the Yukon Territories. So - when there was one more-or-less in my backyard, I took the chance to see it. Glad I did.

There's another one hitting the US in 2024(?). It's worth being in the path of totality. The difference between 98% and total is the difference between shooting a bullet, and throwing it. "Amazing" is a cliché, but - it was genuinely amazing.

San Francisco is a prime example of the destruction wrought by Liberal politicians and their plan/plot to control and destroy the American people. Drug users shoot up in Bart tunnels!! Thanks go to Jerry Brown, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Xavier Becerra and the Liberal cabal in CA and DC. Liberal politicians doing what they do best - destroy everything they touch.

Another great example of how rejecting God and his way leads to foolishness. They are dtermined to live how they want, yet deny the consequences. The devestating result is how many they influence to follow their same path to destruction.

Aug 21, 2017 - It has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse, and along most of its path, there live almost no black people... Oregon, where ..... It is a matter of population density, and more specifically geographic variations in population density by race, for which the sun and the moon cannot be held responsible.

They ought to show the movies we were shown in basic training in the sex Ed classes. That would slow down some of this.

No... it’s today’s liberalism regarding unprotected sex with multiple parties that is to blame. Racism has NOTHING to do with it.

Ever noticed that even with all the sex shown, no one in the movies or on tv shows gets an std?

Imagine if an entire generation followed this concept. Many STD’s would disappear. I was laughed at for stating this once, then I suggested that the reason they’re laughing at it is because they’d never even considered the concept and asked to prove how it was wrong. As I saw the gears turning you could almost see the realization happening...truth.

I know and have seen a number of women in their 20s and 30s get pregnant. None of them were that sold on the relationships they were in at the time of the pregnancies.

Some married the father, some married some other guy, and some didn’t get married at all.

They all used it as a wakeup call to getting their lives in order... Getting a career and not just ‘a job’ (also quit persuing another degree as an excuse to not enter the 9-5 job force). Stopped going out to the bars every night as well.

All of them love and cherish their kids. Some are still brainwashed though and push for taxpayer support and celebration of abortion.

Yeah.
Can’t possibly be a consequence of bad decisions on their own part.
