But it's ok to be gay. LOL. silly people.
What does being gay have to do with running up insurance cost dopey?
12:34 AIDS?
Good idea.
12:44 you're an idiot.
Who does have a "healthy lifestyle"?
I completely agree with companies making people who live unhealthy lifestyles pay more for their insurance. People who don't smoke, don't take illegal drugs and maintain healty body weights require less medical treatment. Why should those who are responsible have to pay for those who are not? I, for one, am tired of subsidizing others who make poor decisions and expect others to pay their way....
12:44 so AIDS is a gays only disease now? YES, no more condoms for me!
