New MRSA Superbug More Prevalent Among Sexually Active Gay Men - Political Wrinkles | Thread profile

Whenever fxashun ignores something, I pile on more information for him to ignore. The focus of this post? More information to refute his allegations, or should I say insinuations, of uniqueness. This disease spreads by skin-to-skin contact. It spreads fairly easily. The whole pretense (or again, I should say insinuation) that somehow gay sex is more culpable is inane and relies on ignorance. So I'll post more facts that he will not be...

No, it was your editorialization of those facts that left us having to try and help you comprehend the facts better.

Perhaps these occurrences should act as a red flag. People of whatever sexual orientation should use safe sexual practices when they are a) not monogamous or b) know they're infected. Perhaps we're getting a little lackadaisical since AIDS has been in the public eye for what, thirty years now? A person with a contagious disease can spread it easier through intimate contact. We all should have learned that in AIDS 101. The ability to...

And considering that homosexuals are generally more obsessed with hygiene than most it would make sense that this virus attack this group first. Using those alcohol based cleansers and such.

I have seen several pieces about the problem in hospitals and I think I remember a piece on Good Morning America about a breakout among high school athletes.

Foundit...FX is going to do what he did earlier when that was posted...Ignore it cause it disproves the faultiness of his original claim.
