Give me your tired and your poor................:rolleyes:

Maybe they'll breed themselves out of existence at this rate. Mother nature does end up solving these problems NATURALLY.

High STD rates are at the top of the center’s list of priorities. In just the past five years, the number of gonorrhea cases in Los Angeles County doubled, with minorities suffering more than most.

“The numbers are only going up,” Gunzenhauser said. “What’s going on is unacceptable.”

My favorite excerpt. Make sure you're sitting when reading:

Northover said that officials need to evaluate what’s called structural or systemic racism, the way housing or education policies may negatively impact people and their health. Studies have found, for example, that people with HIV who had low levels of literacy were less likely to follow their treatment, and that poorer Americans were more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior, increasing their risk of STDs.

People are not sick from things like this because they are poor.

They are poor and sick because they make bad choices and little or no impulse control.
