PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - The Internet has played a significant role in the latest increase in cases of syphilis among gay men by introducing partners more likely to practice high-risk sex, according to a study released on Wednesday.

About 22 percent of homosexual men diagnosed with early stage syphilis reported meeting one or more of their sexual partners through the Internet around the time they were infected, said the study by the Los Angeles Health Department.

I'm not seeing the point here. Isn't it a leap to go from this simple factual report to assuming someone is BLAMING the internet?

Do you doubt the truth of the report? I don't. Seems obvious to me that the net has made communication easier for everyone, gays included.

Now if I hear some whacko saying that, because of this, we need to regulate chat rooms or something, then that's silly, of course.

Umm, the Internet isn't a corporation. Get your conspiracy theories straight. ;)
