Sexually transmitted disease rates soar: CDC WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. syphilis rates rose for a seventh year in 2007, driven by gay and bisexual men, while chlamydia reached record numbers and gonorrhea remained at alarming levels -- especially among blacks, health officials said on Tuesday. Blacks make up 12 percent of the U.S. population, but account for about 70 percent of gonorrhea cases and almost half of chlamydia and syphilis cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Black women ages 15 to 19 have the highest rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea, and gonorrhea rates for blacks overall were 19 times higher than for whites, the CDC said.

So one could conclude that white hos are safer to "visit", than black ones? ...It always pays to be an informed consumer, I would think.
Funny. Funny. Sitting here laughing.
Well that was the last time she went to her kid’s school.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I hope that woman had the good sense to remove her child immediately from that school.
It doesn’t do a lot of good for a moderator to remove an offensive post, if it is repeated.
Right you are. I just didn’t want that idiot to have any question about why he was offensive.
Of course, if they were to receive vaccine they might be reduced.

Then again this might limit the individual rights parents have to decide what’s best for their children.

Woman/child is really interchangeable depending on the slant.
Like the Bristol Palin pregnancy, if she got an abortion, she would have been within her rights as a woman, but since she had the baby, she is a mere child.
I’ll buy that revision.
In light of the days attacks on America by members of the Black Caucus, a little inflammation is not a bad thing.

Wonder what the graph would look like if you graphed teen pregnancy rates, abortion rates and sexually transmitted diseases against the years that mandatory sex ed started in public schools? and then graphed it against gay tolerance education?
Enquiring minds want to know.
But I'll look around.
Besides abortion, immigration also impacts the overall population. Since Asians and Latin Americans are much bigger groups of immigrants compared to sub-Saharan Africans, the black percentage of the US population hasn’t really changed much over the past few decades.
Plus, the shamefully high black on black murder rate in many of our cities for young black men also has an impact.
