Re: R&B Singer Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rhianna

66% of american adults have genital herpes? Thats not even close to being right. More like 30%

No, over 2/3rds have some form of herpes, meaning facial, genital, whatever. Rhianna's pictures with herpes shows them on her face -- who knows if it's gotten elsewhere? This whole thing is just assumption.

Genital herpes is something around 30%, but there's no proof that either one of them has that.

I can't believe I'm having this conversation.

I don't believe Rihanna "deserved it" if the herpes story is true. I would be pissed and curse her name to the heavens, but I wouldn't physically assault her. What good did it do for Brown?

Exactly. It's crazy to me that so many people agreed with that sentiment. Like beating her is gonna solve something -- he would've been "popular R&B sensation Chris Brown (with herpes)" instead of "jailed former R&B star Chris Brown (with herpes)"... I hope ya'll don't take your own advice because dudes like MassNole are gonna have an easy time winning cases where the defense is "but but she gave me HERPES!".

I don't see anyone who is giving out any advice. If she's giving out diseases then she deserved it and I can see why he would hit her. No one here has been saying that if someone does that to you then you should hit them.

Direct endorsement (which is what you've been giving) is as good as "you are justified/right in doing [x]"... You endorsed beating a woman because she (possibly) gave someone herpes. I don't think that's okay.

Nobody came on and asked, "My girl gave me herpes, should I hit her?" -- we're arguing semantics now? Come on man, you know it's wrong to beat a woman for this... In the immortal words of Snoop from The Wire, "deserve ain't got nothin' to do with it."

Re: R&B Singer Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rhianna

The technical term for herpes on the face is herpes simplex virus type 1. This particular virus causes the outbreak of cold sores, fever blisters, and in some cases, bumps on the inside of the mouth. Currently, approximately 80% of the population suffers from HSV-1, and that number is steadily growing.

Everyone’s facial herpes outbreaks are different. Generally, the first outbreak is more painful than the recurrences. Some people may suffer with swollen and red gums or painful sores on the inside of the mouth, while others just get a cold sore on the lip. Some carriers of the virus don’t get blisters or sores at all.

These people tend to get a sore throat or a fever, which is why it isn’t thought of as herpes. Once you become infected, with the virus, you stay infected for life, but there is no cause for alarm. Often times, the recurrent outbreaks will be less traumatic than the first and can be treated with a variety of medications, both prescription and natural.

There are numerous ways to contract herpes on the face. The most common, is by kissing someone who is already a carrier of the virus. Other ways you can catch the virus is by putting your mouth on a water fountain, performing oral sex on someone that suffers from genital herpes, and drinking from someone else’s glass, to name a few.

Spreading the virus to others is also very easy to do. If you suffer from facial herpes, it is best to avoid coming in contact with someone during a visible outbreak. Don’t allow anyone drink from your glass. Also, refrain from kissing anyone, especially children due to their weaker immune system.

Recurrences of facial herpes outbreaks are rare, but can be triggered by sun exposure, emotional stress, dental work, hormones, and illness (i.e. other infection in the body). You can usually detect an outbreak by symptoms such as itching or tingling, fever and swollen lymph nodes. There may be pain involved, but the level of discomfort differs between carriers.

As stated before, there are many treatment options available to help with herpes on the face. Your doctor will know the best medications for controlling outbreaks, however, some medications have a number of side effects. To avoid these side effects, try using one of the many natural topical creams or ointments to make your outbreaks more bearable. In most cases, outbreaks clear up within 7 to 10 days, without scarring.

HSV-1 will rarely result in more than just facial herpes. There are, however, times when it will cause more serious infections, such as HSV encephalitis, an infection of the brain, HSV meningitis and ocular herpes, which is an infection of the eye. HSV-1 can also be passed along to children. This infection is called HSV neonatal, which is acquired from the mother around the time of birth.

No I don't think it's wrong to hit a woman who is knowingly giving out diseases. You are trying to make everyone out to be evil women beaters when no one is saying anything to give that impression. Some women do things where they deserve to be hit and in my eyes, a woman giving someone a disease without saying anything deserves it. You can disagree with it all you want but you're not going to change my mind on that. But anyways, I already said that it would only be justified if she actually did give him herpes.

A bit off-topic, but what if a woman with the AIDS virus knowingly had relations with you, and you contracted it. Would you hit her or would it even be worth it since you're probably dead anyway.

I was just thinking about that after reading through the thread.

That's one of the few things I would kill over.

Damn. Thing is, you're already dead and same with her. It's like.. ehh, we're both dead so what does it matter.

If someone is knowingly giving AIDS out then there's no forgiveness for that. Plus she would need to be killed to keep her from spreading that **** around.

(re:EC's post about AIDS)

Again, what does hitting her accomplish? If she was intentially giving people diseases, would she suddenly feel bad or "repent" just because she got hit in the face? If anything, she'd feel bad about it on her deathbed or something...

If a woman (or anyone... gay men have an HIV-fetish subculture) is intentially going around and giving someone a life-threatening disease like AIDS, she probably doesn't care much about herself or anyone else, so hitting her isn't going to do anything. The damage is done whether it's AIDS, herpes.. whatever. Like beating them will cure your disease or make your life easier after the fact.

Haha, jmood is committed to the premise at least... I'll give him that. Unbelievable to me regardless. People throw around that "I'd kill someone if.." like they have the globes to follow through with it haha...
