More people have died from homosexually transmitted diseases than have died from green house gasses, global warming, hand guns and the war on terrorisim combined.

WOW! That's a powerful statement. This will be very useful in a debate I'm having. But I won't be able to get away with just making the statement. So... do you have a link to some research on this? Thanks!

Easy

Research the stats on Aids alone.

I wont even get into Syhpillis, staph.. etc etc.

Then add up the number killed in the terrorists attacks inisde and outside the US. Include Iraq, Afghanistan Somalia. for impact includ the Palsetinian and Israeli conflict since 1967.

I challange you to find anyones death that can be attributed to global warming or green house gasses.

Look up stats on hand Gun deaths annualy in the US.

All the above numbers will have to total the thousands of deaths from aids in the US alone!.

You won't even need to add aides related deaths suffred annually in Africa to exceed the above numbers!

Heres just a quick maybe twenty minutes worth of research showing just how devastating homosexuality is.

Male to Male was 249,198 detahs in the last five years alone!

Add to that the Male to Male and Injection drug users 36,224 the total comes to 285,422! In just the USA!

We lost 50,000 in 10 years of heavy combat in Vietnam!


On Firearms deaths:

Firearm Mortality
(All figures are for U.S.)
Annual Firearm Deaths: 28,663 (2000)
Age-Adjusted Death Rate: 10.4 deaths per 100,000 population (2000)
Death Rate for Males Ages 15-19: 22.7 deaths per 100,000 population (2000)
Death Rate for Black Males Ages 15-19: 62.2 deaths per 100,000 population (2000)
Firearm Suicide Deaths: 6.0 per 100,000 population (2000)
Firearm Homicide Deaths: 3.9 per 100,000 population (2000)
Source: National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 50, No. 15
More than half of the Firearms deaths were suicides.


So y0u can see that homosexuality accounted for 10 times more deaths than did handguns in the last five years alone!

And this is just the USA!
