Geoff_K Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 About 128 of every 100,000 Washington residents have AIDS, compared with 14 cases per 100,000 people nationwide, according to the study released in November. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071227/ap_on_re_us/needle_exchange While I love the Skins, I do not think I will move there to be closer to the team. You know, if they just tainted the needles to turn users purple, it would be much easier to locate the junkies. :security: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Ummm...who is "They?" Use protection, don't have sex with crack whores or heroin junkies, and don't share needles and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 The needle-exchange program is a good idea. IF people will do drugs, this at least could reduce HIV (this was held up by Congress as an especially irrational part of the already-irrational war on drugs). BTW, regarding prostitution, compare the STD rates where prostitution is illegal as opposed to the rate in that place in Nevada where it's legal.

Stophovr6 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 The Skins play in Landover and practice in Ashburn. Yup, and mapquest will tell you to take the beltway to get from one to the other. http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?do=nw&go=1&r=f&aoh=&aot=&aof=&1a=21300%20Redskin%20Park%20Dr&1c=Ashburn&1s=VA&1z=20147&1y=US&1l=dkMnuxaiCQ2uqaD3SG97SQ%3d%3d&1g=Sy5Bew7ols4rQNA4qOM7hA%3d%3d&1pn=Washington%20Redskins&1pl=703%2d726%2d7000&1v=ADDRESS&1ffi=1&1n=&1qn=Redskins%20Park&2a=&2c=Landover&2s=MD&2z=&2y=US&2l=2ipKIM4gC93Aj5r1n15f6w%3d%3d&2g=j2BniGqyQQVc8IELcKlynQ%3d%3d&2pl=&2v=CITY&2ffi=&2n=Prince%20George%27s%20County&2qn=FedEX%20Field&panelbtn=2&1qc=Football%20Clubs&q=Redskins%20Park&2pn=FedEX%20Field&2sb=Fedex%20Field%7c1600%20Fedex%20Way%7cLandover%7cMD%7c20785%7c38909202%7c%2d76863700%7c301%2d276%2d6738%7cUS&2qc=Stadiums%20Arenas%20%26%20Athletic%20Fields I think your chances of getting into a nasty wreck on the beltway going this route everyday are higher than contracting Aids in DC.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a nice summer's evening we gets the whole family on top of the roof and points our binoculars towards DC to watch the junkies, crack hos and pimps battle it out. If they ever got over their fears of crossing the Potomac, our suburbs here in Northern Virginia could be overrun, but I guess they can't swim so we're safe.

Mr. Nostril Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'm curious where you got this information, and if they have statistics concerning other cities. Edit: Oh nevermind didn't see the link. Still curious to see what other cities statistics are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nostril Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Ok I found this site, and their statistics disagree with the article. Unless the numbers have gone way up in the past 3 years. I suppose an associated press article is a better source that some website that shows up in a google search for "aids major cities statistics" http://www.avert.org/usastatc.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige3girl Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 all those people probably live in one neighborhood too.... I live in Baltimore now and read crime stats all the time... they have a lot of crime but they are mostly in about a 6 block radius and no where near me.

While the DC AIDS rate is eight times the national average, you are fifty times more likely to suffer a serious farming injury in Indiana compared to living in DC. I wouldn't want to live there with all the risks of getting a limb ripped off by machinery. (If the Children of the Corn don't get you first).
