Plus, when one puts fruit, plastic, car batteries, whatever in areas that weren’t meant to have them there, this can be a result.

you are seeing people getting cancer in their rectum. cancer in their mouth.

heavy price to pay for the “if it feels good, do it” “free love” movement.

They neglected to mention the clear correlation between the use of “the pill” and the skyrocketing increase in breast cancer.
Don’t bother whining about “studies” that contradict this conclusion. Try actually reading the studies and not the pedestrian summaries yourself.

Changes in sexual habits may be responsible

ya think?

[Secret Agent Man]

Don’t forget hamsters.

The culprit, said the King's College London study, is the human papillomavirus (HPV), acquired during sex.

"Acquired" during sex?

That's a very odd choice of word for the BBC to use. "Acquire" typically signifies gain in a positive way -- as in, we acquired a fortune.

"Contracted" is a far better word here. Unless the BBC thinks HPV is a good thing...

You also have to take into account the first pills had really high levels of hormones in them. Nowadays less works just as well (if you don’t forget to take ‘em).

Hamsters don’t cause cancer. I’ve been eating them for years. (kidding)

[Secret Agent Man]

You’re obviously not using them right. /sarc

if people wait til marriage, they dont have to worry about this stuff.

“A shepherd is never lonely” takes on new meaning.

OTOH, if given the choice between a sheep and Sen. Barbara Mulkowski (D-MD)..........

What did the brown hamster say to the white hamster?

I see you're new in town.

[Steelfish]

Very perspicacious!

[Secret Agent Man]

Watch that Frisco humor.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Time to pay the piper.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

This article was not just about gay people.

I rapidly increasing number of women are getting anal cancer related to HPV.

But I think it has more to do with people being more permiscuious now than it does the acts themselves, which have always existed.

although the immune system is normally able to destroy it.

We're also seeing more and more cases of weak and underdeveolped immune systems because we've gone overboard "sanitizing" everything, and throwing antibiotics at every sniffle that comes along.

Very perspicacious!

No, I actually use deodorant.
