Just curious, but what did you post from the CDC...My work involves working with them fairly often.
I posted them for an earlier year before. Here are the numbers for 2014.
https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/
In 2014:
- Gay and bisexual men accounted for 83% (29,418) of the estimated new HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 and older and 67% of the total estimated new diagnoses in the United States.
- Gay and bisexual men aged 13 to 24 accounted for an estimated 92% of new HIV diagnoses among all men in their age group and 27% of new diagnoses among all gay and bisexual men.
- Gay and bisexual men accounted for an estimated 54% (11,277) of people diagnosed with AIDS. Of those men, 39% were African American, 32% were white, and 24% were Hispanic/Latino.
Of course the liberals on here did not want to hear these facts because the libs were pushing gay marriage. They wanted government validation of homosexual relationships, damn the social and public health concerns of "normalizing" sexual behavior that has been proven to rapidly spread disease. That is not just an opinion, that is a fact backed by CDC data.
One would also ask if so many gays value the tradition of marriage as it is culturally defined in the United States then why are they spreading disease at such a rapid rate. Seeing how they are such a small percentage of the population in the United States doesn't the frequency of infection suggest a lot of casual sexual partners? Which is why I don't think gay marriage was about marriage at all. It was an act of manipulation by the left to destroy the idea of the nuclear family. However that is a topic for another day.
And I'll say again....why is something from Mother Jones a 'left wing rag", but something from Brietbard indisputable proof?
Which is why I attempt to fact check stories regardless of the source. Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, these were both false narratives perpetuated by the media and are still having negative consequences for our country. The media caused a lot of social and property damage over a lie. Journalistic integrity has been dead for a long time. Journalism now is more about public manipulation than presenting news and facts.
About your opinion of illegals not taking jobs, if they are being targeted for employment because they work cheap (below fair market value) then yes they are costing citizens jobs and driving down wages. We have several factories here using temp services to provide illegal labor. Those factories should be employing American citizens.
The problem with uncontrolled (noticed I did not say illegal) immigration is if you don't control your border you cease to have a country. If you don't think that is true you need to take a good long hard look at what is happening in Germany, Sweden, France, and Spain. Muslim "refugees" are assaulting, raping, and murdering the native citizens of those countries. Yet the left has totally ignored and dismissed it, here and there. This is just another example of the left ignoring a serious problem while pushing their PC crap.
The tragedy going on in these countries is the result of disarmed citizens, welfare, and open borders. I have asked the libs on here to say why it would turn out any different in America. They have chosen to ignore the question.
The videos above are what happens when you don't control your borders. This is what happens when you extend welfare to non citizens. But please, feel free to go on ignoring it. Given the past behavior of the libs on this site I really don't even expect you to respond.
However, if you really want to have a serious debate watch at least the first video through. Tell me why you think we should follow EU's self destructive path of socialism and open borders. How do you see it turning out any different here?
Brexit was an act by the UK of self preservation to save themselves from the EU's failed socialist experiment and from a Muslim invading army claiming they are refugees. The news is not saying it but, make no mistake, that is exactly what is happening.
If you really love your country how can you support a party that wants to use your tax dollars to support non citizens, disarm you, and open your borders to unlimited immigration when it has gone so horribly wrong in the EU? Why would you invite that?
If you are serious about wanting to have a debate I await your answer.
