This is a curious research article…gluttony is not a problem in the US according to this chart?

I am having trouble accessing the detailed information you cite.

Aren’t STD’s highly correlated with being granted “leave” from bootcamp training? That could explain Biloxi…

So many variables uncontrolled, how can this be used to support anyone’s argument?

The issue is the incidence per sexual orientation controlling for age.

For all I know, they may. But certainly not in rations that anti-gays claim or in any way that justifies calling homosexuality a disorder.

Actually I got distracted with the cities. They were only included to compare between themselves and not as an example of “the worst”.

To get my point you have to look at the nation as a whole. STDs per capita were the worst in the South and not really all that evident in, say, San Francisco or LA or NYC or South Beach – the areas where all those sinful diseased homos live.

If, as Mile McPherson (Carry Prejean’s pastor) says, gays are 23 times more likely to have STDs, then we would expect the areas where they are most congregated to show up as “hot spots” rather than the Missouri or South Carolina.

If they are vice cities then we can assume prostitution? What is the life expectancy of prostitutes? Does anyone know? Does anyone care?
