Sodomy: A Public Health Risk

FPN ^

Things like what you suggest won't happen until it's made clear that a country is a culture, not a piece of dirt where people do business (as the libertarians believe), or a playground for elitist social engineers to try out their latest hair-brained scheme.

Once that's understood, then taking actions such as you describe will be seen as necessary to preserve the social order, and thus liberty.

Liberty is only purchased with order. Homosexual debauchery was, is, and always will be corrosive to the social order.

That list of diseases fails to show how many are associated with ordinary straight PIV sex. It isn't very safe either.

Besides, oral and anal sex is not all that uncommon among heterosexuals putting them at risk as well.

I don't speak for the poster, but, I believe the point of the post is this:

The left is attacking behavior that stresses the health care system.

They went after tobacco companies on the premise that smoking related illness cost society money in increased health care costs. They're going after fast food companies for the same reason. All this news about "obese America" is no coincidence.

But, even though homosexual behavior is proven to cost society money in increased health care costs, the Left will never ever rail against it. "Smoking bad, fast food bad, homosexual sex good".

In other words, the Left is engaging in yet another hypocrisy.

Who woulda thunk? The tried and true morality and laws for the COMMON good were known for thousands of years before PC libs figured they knew better.

Why do you care? Are you gay?

Does it matter?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

It appears we were made for hetero relations. Surprise, surprise, surprise.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Don't forget...it's nothing to be proud of, either!

I have a friend who happened upon an X-ray of a mustard jar jammed up somebody's posterior. I think that his plumbing company got it as a piece of misdirected mail.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I wouldn't say nothing bad would happen; it's just that the risks would most probably be lower...

I checked out an urbane legends site (they had the exploding whale video), and they had the story of an ex British WWII Anti-aircraft gunner who supposedly went to the hospital to have a live AAA shell, which he got stuck, removed from his butt.

Damn, the Brit Army was tougher back then! Makes you wonder how many times the Sergeant threatened him with it first...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I think a better idea is for government to get out of health care altogether (except for mental institutions). That way, the people engaged in this behavior would be more likely to wind up paying through the nose for it.

I suppose the human papilloma virus could have something to do with it, analogous to how it causes cervical cancer in women.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Did you intend the pun? (Through the nose.)Just joking.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Well said.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I agree.

...what could the name of a plumbing company be that it would attract that kind of misdirected mail...well, maybe RotoRooter or something similar, I guess...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

OK, OK, so they'd wind up paying out the @$$ for it...no, that could be misconstrued in a lewd manner, as well.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

It might have been My Plumber. Gad, there are so many ways to be sickly humorous about all this...:-)

Two doctors opened an office in a small town and put up a sign reading,
"Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology."

The town council was not too happy with that sign, so the doctors
changed it to "Hysterias and Posteriors." This was not acceptable
either, so in an effort to satisfy the council, they changed the
sign to "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids." No go! Next they tried
"Catatonics and High Colonics." Thumbs down again. Then came,
"Manic-depressives and Anal-retentives." Still not good enough.

How about, "Minds and Behinds." Unacceptable again.
So they tried, "Inner Souls and Outer Holes." Still no go. Nor
did; "Analysis and Anal Cysts", "Nuts and Butts", "Freaks and
Cheeks", or "Loons and Moons" work either. Almost at their wits'
end, the doctors finally came up with a title they thought might
be acceptable to the council; "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and
Ends."

"APPROVED!"
