I wouldn't say the same results since I suspect Argentinian culture and American culture are different but I totally see what you're saying.

I personally would have rather seen a private company do their own study rather than using government money.

Results may be similar, but for the government to get a better idea of how to curb the problem here, the money should have been spent HERE!

I completely agree.
I would rather PSAs or posters be put up in areas that may be frequented by gay men (even though I don't think the study should focus JUST on gay men....) and talk about drinking responsibly and using a condom if/when they have sex.

The economy is recovering..the government said so.
They said we're going to be all better starting in June 2009.

Well you have to hand it to the conservatives, their cost cutting measures for studying gay sex in airport and interstate restrooms have put those Dems to shame!

Why are the "straight" men on this forum so obsessed with what gay dudes do to each other?

I know. They sure like to talk about it a lot, don't they? I guess they're secretly fascinated with homosexuality.

Not just that, but they seem to be hyper-focused on what people do with their private parts in general.

Here is my advise: Have a glass of wine, and get laid! Then you'll quit worrying so much about who is screwing who.

I think someone just wanted a "vacation" in Argentina, so that is the REAL reason why the money is being spent there!
You are probably right!
