News About Amerika

I saw this on MSN.com's front page.

I was just wondering if anyone knew WHERE these diseases even CAME FROM (did they exist long ago?)? Also, what do you think about this bit of news?

I also know that non-USA ppl say that the news in america sucks balls (it does) but bear with me on this one.

well everyone knows syphilis came from Ireland.. stupid farmers couldn't keep their peckers outta their sheep.

Theres a way to prevent from most STD's /STI's use a condom :razz:

It's the welsh who are suppose to shag sheep.

Note: I say suppose, but thats just like saying scottish drink too much whiskey etc.

Actually I believe syphilis came from the Native Americans, and was one of the few diseases they introduced onto the Europeans instead of vice versa...

its the god damned buffalo s**t they smoked in those pipes i tell'ya :biggrin:

Notice the headline said in "developed" nations. Which means out of countries like Canada, Britain, Germany, Australia, etc. We have a higher population and more imigrants so naturally we would have more diseases roaming around. Countries in Africa and southern Asia are the ones that have the highest amount of sexually transmitted diseases. China is plagued with HIV.

China is plagued with HIV.

Do they still have sars roaming around.

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!

Even if we did shag sheep we wouldn't want any of your colonial knock offs, whores!

gwil, why do you always quote someone else, but talk to me :razz:

you quoted someone from your own neck of the woods silly

colonial.. that cracks me up.. more likely the UK would be classified "usurper"

are you irish, gwil?

for the record, i was having a go at Dave

we have this private joke about goats.. sheep just seemed the next obvious step

No, he's quoting Sloth- Gwil is Welsh. Your quote just got mashed up in there.

I dont see a connection, maping and bitching, maping and STD's, maping and GOATS!

well Goats and STDs are connected, so is bitching with STDs, how it
connects to mapping? maybe... the mapping community is made up of
bitchy goats with STDs?

Actually syphillis has been around for hundreds of centuries. Julius
Ceasar had it back in ancient times, long before America was discovered
and settled. It makes you nutty, causes your brain to become diseased.

Maybe it was the clap then, after three years of college I don't really remember history anymore...

This article seems to be mainly about cervical cancer and AIDS, and doesn't present the actual facts very clearly- I think a direct link to the original journal article would be more helpful!

why? most of us spout of educated gibberish as if it were fact regardless. notices glares from member list
Ahem.. sorry, my bad.

I think there is a direct correspondence between these STI/STD's and sex. I have a theory that sex is what causes it. Welsh sex... with sheep. :biggrin:

Actually I do beleive that the rise in STD's can almost solely be attributed to high-school age kids' rise in sexual activity. There is a pregnant 7th grader in the school I work at. How disgraceful.

Lep, I think i will pass on advice to you that everyone always seems to give me: Google it. I ALWAYS DO google it but sometimes the results i get are crap nonetheless, then when i ask about it someone always says "Google has like 13 results for that, you know..." Anyway, I bet google search's cached pages is the only way to get it without having to pay for it.
