Evolve: Sex

Playlist

Doesn't work well on my system, not sure why.

Syphilis came from America went to Europe... (insert joke)

Oddly enough, research is showing that a Syphilis evolved a new transmission method in Europe: sex. In the old world it relates closely with other similar pathogens. In the New World it adapted to the environment with a new transmission method.

This means that it traveled not from Europe to America but from America to Europe.

There's a joke in here involving Europe, sex, spring break, and America... but I just can't find it.

UPDATE: Indian-giver?

Abstinence only education is terrorism.

Really, what is terrorism? The use of fear to achieve a goal. If that's the case than people who rather than provide good sex education provide fear, lies, and generally terrorize children are actually terrorists. Abstinence is fine, really it's safe, effective, and not really an issue. However, sex education should be comprehensive and that little "only" there means that it is anything but... and usually it involves lies about other methods of preventing STIs and pregnancy. The goal is to scare the sex right out of them. And this is done through fear and misinformation. They don't go into a market place and blow themselves up... but they are certainly taking lives.
