This may be a few months old, but it is news to me.

Wow, its almost like heavy drug use is immunosuppressive or something.

[Grampa Dave]

I think that it has been here before.

One of the best kept secrets of the Aids epidemic has been the reality of massive/repetitive drug abuse in the Gay population. Most if not all of these drugs hammer the immune system and lower its ability to resist disease.

I wonder who forces crank on these guys?

It is dated, but new to me.

Out on the West Coast, diseased ridden maggots blame Meth for their diseases.

It can't be any good for you. I read earlier that many pedos use the stuff.

I have a neighbor that went through the same transformation. Funny, she looked nothing like the first photo but is a spittin' image of the second.

Who can blame them? If I ever looked in the mirror and saw a stool-packer looking out at me, I would start using drugs, too... and heavily! That is, if I didn't just decide to do the world a favor and kill myself.

Meth does not cause STDs.
The culture that embraces drug use, and casts off restraint and values, is the culture of 'recreational drug use' and 'recreational sex'. It a common culture, and an indicator, not a cause-effect. Geez I hate headlines.

"They need a lifetime of support to maintain safe behaviors and protect their health and their partners' health," Valdiserri says"

I say we can help them and their partners by putting them where they probably should have been put before......in quarentine.......

my homosexual inlaw still is so angry about AIDs and he blames it all on Reagan.....

as if any law, any medical information, any condom or any needle exchange program could save there people from themselves...obviously, nothing can save them if they don't want to be saved...

[cherry]

I know....I would use drugs too if that life was my life.......

I feel badly for homosexuals only in the fact that it must be horrendous to be so differant in society.....

[Nonstatist]

The years have been kind to that one, no doubt about it.

[AD from SpringBay]

It's not AIDS, drug use, promiscuity, other STDs, higher than average suicide rates, or the lower than average lifespan. Instead, gay marriage is what concerns the homo "community" the most.

And it's all the fault of those right-wing, white, evangelical Wal-Mart voters.
