When did using protection become an afterthought?

It's a shame what this generation has become. Nothing matters, and no one cares, it is what it is.

I don't know who's to blame but we have to get this figured out.

The Top 10 Cities with the highest STD cases are:

Jackson, Mississippi
Baltimore, Maryland
San Francisco, California
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Washington, DC
Augusta, Georgia
New York, New York
Montgomery, Alabama
Knoxville, Tennessee
Fayetteville, North Carolina

The study noted that the three smallest cities on that list Augusta, Killeen, and Shreveport all have one thing in common. They're home to a large military base.
