Read it and I Still Can't Believe It.

Our tax money at work:


The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is funding a study that seeks to discover a link between drinking and having sex among homosexuals in Argentina.

This was the headline and story about how the US government allocated over $400,000 to send 6 people to Buenos Aires to study the relationships of drinking alcohol and homosexual sex habits. They'll interview both patrons and proprietors in an effort to discover what it is about those bars that makes them frisky. The study began on Sept. 30, 2008, and runs through Aug. 31, 2010. It already has cost taxpayers $198,776. By the time the project ends, it will have cost $403,902, according to NIH.


The grant, awarded to the New York State Psychiatric Institute, was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the division of NIH that studies the effects of alcohol and alcoholism.
This crapola involves 6 bars in Buenos Aires and interviewing 48 guys on what they drink and what attracts them to the bars and gets them horny.

Now I may be wrong, but couldn't this have been done in the U.S.? San Francisco for sure. If it had to be done at all.

Was this pork in some funding bill? And, who was the former senator from New York? I'll bet Barney Frank leads the delegation.

NO! NO! NO! it could not be done in the U.S., because they would be discriminating, and besides it is considered normal in San Fransisco
Have they ever did a study on straight people drinking and having sex
that's the one i want to read.

Don't they all have to be drunk to do that in the first place ?

I don't drink to often anymore. But, for the sake of saving money, I'd volunteer participate in a study based on heterosexual activities.
  But I still can't get my head wrapped around this, I can't understand why this is being done.

[SHOOTALL]

why anyone would approve the money is even more a hard thing to understand .

How many trips has Barney Frank made so far?

LOL, I would certainly think they would.

Homosexuals don't stick to one partner, contrary to what they want you to believe. So bars are the meeting place. They seem to want us to believe its all about love, when its actually all about sex.

or maybe attention ?
