    Wow, I'm sorry that someone having an adverse reaction to STDs is so hurtful to you. Good luck with all that.

    You're missing Blake's point, which is a valid one. You'd pretty much have to be celibate for life if you want to avoid any and all STDs. Assuming you weren't born with one, like HSV-1. kingworks is being naive.

    While Dru is right.

    What really gets my goat is that he wants nothing to do with people having an std. Which is A) burying his head in the sand rather than educating himself about the issue and B) saying he wants nothing to do with them, which is straight up discrimination.

    But now I'm watching grease muscials and cheering up.

    I think you guys are looking way too far into a throwaway remark that could safely be construed as "I don't want to catch an STD" and not "people with STDs are bad people"

    Not to mention this is the New Comic thread and all

    Or maybe Kingworks and his wife (with whom he has two children) both waited until they got married to have sex, and have remained committed and monogamous for the past 10 years.

    So STD's aren't really something I worry about.

    Saying this just shows that you a brutally ignorant on how diseases do not need sexual contact to become STI but you know, you stick your head in the sand.

    What sort of contact am I going to be having with an infected person to contract any of the diseases mentioned - directly or implied - in this thread? There may be an outside chance that I try to apply first-aid to someone with infected blood but, since I'm a computer programmer tucked way back in a cubicle, it's not very likely.

    Yes, I know about STD's - but I'm not threatened by them and I'm certainly not worried about contracting any. I have never asked anyone if they were infected, or treated anyone different based on what they may or may not have contracted through bodily fluids.

    There is ignorance on display here, but it is not mine.

    Am I the only one who feels like they are missing something in the first panel? I don't get why tycho would be saying gabe (or someone) could infer things about his dick.

    Also: woah there Blake T - settle down man. You're getting really mad over nothing. Also FYI Herpes HSV-2 can be transmitted when there are no signs, it's called viral shedding. STD's like that are not "avoidable"

    Clearly kingworks has a different lifestyle than you. That's no reason for you to get all "well you could get hep from a blood transfusion or your wife could cheat on you." I'm sure he knows that, but he's pretty much at the minimum possible risk of STI given that he is having sex with another person, so I don't really get what point you are trying to make.

    And preemptively, yes Druhim, I am missing the point. I always miss the point. That's what I do.

    You explicitly said you know nothing about STD's and want nothing to do with them. Do not mince words that is what you said. So saying you wouldn't treat anyone different is either a lie or an initially stupid statement on your part.

    Secondly, yes they are far more active than what you believe, I know a guy who caught Hep off another guy when they shared a drink, the same happens with herpes. So yes, regular people catch diseases, because it is honestly a regular thing.

    Seriously, I very rarely get angry here but you have manged to make me. Congratulations.

    I must have missed the amendment to the forum rules that forbade sarcasm, hyperbole, exaggeration - basically all figurative language on the whole.

    Here's the bottom line: I didn't know or care that chlamydia burns and you flipped out.

    PS: The only person in charge of how you feel, is you.

    I have never played D&D.

    Recently, I found out the reason for this. A kid in my neighborhood when I was really young committed suicide as part of some magical something. The parents in my neighborhood thought he was influenced by D&D, so the game was verboten.

    I didn't even hear mention of its name until the seventh grade.

    As a teen, my mom tried to make me put my role playing books in the garage because she was convinced that somehow Satan was corrupting the house through their mere presence. I guess he can't corrupt the house from the garage.

    Satan is confused by the slightly higher step into the house from the garage, just like carbon monoxide.

    The garage is outside the house. Clearly the hearth spells do not extend their protection that far.
