[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1581890, member: 6406"] OK! The authors on the paper are members of of the [url=http://chestnyc.org/]Center for HIV/AIDS Educational Studies and Training (CHEST)[/url], so yeah they PROBABLY do all kinds of research on STDs! I meant this study specifically, not the grant which probably went mostly towards funding students and buying infrastructure like computers and lab supplies. I say "probably" because I'm familiar with how research grants are typically spent. If you had read what I posted before and understood it you wouldn't have needed to ask this question. You're begging the question, "is this stuff really unnecessary?" Scientific research typically doesn't have a point to it at the outset. Case in point, when an IBM researcher made the first microchip, one of his coworkers asked, "But what ... is it good for?" This study didn't give any groundbreaking insight, but then again most don't. Please do. Please show me how our extravagant spending on scientific research is crippling our economy. I had a response to this, but it mostly boiled down to ENGLISH MOTHERFSCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT. This study cost nowhere near $899,000 by itself. I will also repeat myself: your comments are totally unsourced and unfounded. It's easy to spout platitudes like THERE IS TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT SPENDING. Then what did you mean, sugar? The money was given to a CUNY program on STD research. They spent what appears to be A VERY SMALL FRACTION of that money on a couple afternoons of surveying gay people and handing out movie tickets. They were investigating a possible underlying factor that may have contributed to understanding of the spread of venereal diseases. As a young man with an active lifestyle, I'm glad the government has got my back here. Because I know how scientific research works. [/QUOTE]
