(In the middle of a list of BS statistics)
A homosexual publication printed the following statistics:
• 24 percent of homosexual men had more than 100 partners.
• 43 percent of homosexual men had more than 500 partners.
• 28 percent of homosexual men had more than 1,000 partners.

Um, I'm not a statistician, but shouldn't it be mathematically impossible for only 24 percent to fall into the "100 or more category", then have 43 percent fall into the "500 or more" category? Phrased differently, this could be a histogram or something, but still...
I'm guessing you meant 43% of Catholics, wackadoodle.
Ye gods, I know how these people THINK! I'm spending way too much time on this site.
24
Wow.
I may have to re-consider this 'straight' thing!
*sighs* Mathamatics doesn't work that way!
IF 43% of homosexual men had more than 500 partners (which is bullshit, but let's treat the statistics as proper maths just for a moment), then that 43% would INCLUDE the 24% from the 'homosexual men had more than 100 partners' listed before that. Okay?
Now, you simply CAN'T then say that '28% of homosexuals have had more than 1000 partners', because 28% is LESS than 43%. The number would HAVE to be more than 48%, because you'd need to include the 48% in the same way that you included the 24% in the previous example.
For a forum that also quipped "Readers/Posters in this forum are MUCH better educated on the facts than your average person.", you seem to have a bit of a trouble grasping that THIS IS NOT HOW PERCENTAGES WORK!!
You fail at math. It's not possible for a greater percentage to have 1,000+ partners than 100+ partner, since those with 1,000 partners would by default be in the 100+ category.
Fundie math hurts my brain.
Let's see if I can pull statistics out of my ass too;
15% of priests molested around 100 children
It's a frequently-copied statistic from NARTH that has absolutely no basis behind it.
Good thing too, because the cost of condoms alone would be astronomical.

I have a gay friend who hasn't had any partners either. He's a lovely bloke but women throw themselves at him. He's an awful person to be around.
And 97.99326 percent of statistics are made up on the spot.
And I was not aware that is was possible for a publication to be homosexual, I was not even aware that publications had genders in the first place.
Wait, so 24 percent had more than 100 partners, but 43 percent had more than 500 partners?
So 29 percent of homosexual men have had less than 100 partners, but more than 500 partners?
*HEAD ASPLODES*
And seriously, how the fuck do you manage to bang 1000 dudes? If you fucked a different dude every night, it'd take almost three years to fuck a thousand.
Bullshit, but funny bullshit.
24 percent of Christians eat goat hoofs.
43 percent of Christians like to lick stamp glue.
28 percent of Christians think seeing Spongebob Squarepants is equivalent to sex.
See? I can make up bullshit statistics too!
This reminds me of one of the quiz questions in Real Men Don't Eat Quiche :
(A) 100-300
Score:
This could be true, if you allow for imprecise wording of the claim.
24% had between 101 and 500 partners.
Even IF these statistics were accurate, so the fuck what? We don't question people about the number of their previous sexual partners when they get a marriage license. It's irrelevant.
Get a new argument, this one is bogus from the start. And for the love of Buddha, provide citations!!
I have always wondered about the *real* reason of fundie homophobia, because sure as hell it isn't due to some biblical verses. Closeted cases hating themselves probably are a factor, but I now think that just as with abortions, their driving force is envy. They are simply envious of other people whom they imagine having access to more sex than themselves, and they imagine homosexuals to be entirely promiscuous. Anyone remember the Indian fundie saying that Western men don't rape indecently clad women because in these godless countries we have access to women for free?
Getting laid isn't a bad thing.
No seriously, what the fuck? This is utter bullshit, but what the hell they are trying to prove?
Logically, if 43 percent of people have over 500 of something, at least 43 percent have 100 of something.
But anyway, 95% of internet statistics are made up.
at that rate I might have to install a rotating door on my bedroom.
Still, maybe my ass hasn't seen as much action as this gal here, as she keeps pulling bullshit from it and posting it on the net ¬¬
Damn. Gays get more sex than me. And I'm in a poly relationship. Time to rethink this whole "hetero" rut I'm stuck ing.
Read a lot of gay lit there, Eve?
Fuck all you want; they'll make more.
Seriously? If I'm out on a date and I somehow find out that my date has fucked over a hundred guys in her life, I'm only going to be bothered if she doesn't want to use a condom.
(Slightly related: the first woman I seriously dated claimed she'd had over sixty boyfriends but only slept with four of them. I wasn't that bothered by the total number; I was just annoyed that she really expected to believe that she'd only slept with four.)
Where do they find all these partners? As only about 10-20 percent of the population are homosexual, they are rather harder to find than heterosexual partners.
And, if all the partners were consenting, and didn't expect more than a fun fling, then what's the problem?
"A homosexual publication printed the following statistics:
24 percent of homosexual men had more than 100 partners.
43 percent of homosexual men had more than 500 partners.
28 percent of homosexual men had more than 1,000 partners."

I'm not really good with figures, but even I see that that is prime bullshit.
Citation needed in any case, what "homosexual publication" was this from?
99.9999% of statistics on RR are made up on the spot, and not credible even without a citation.
the other 0.0001% is still made up, but looks credible.
Lol! I'm nowhere near 100. I had a straight friend claim once he shagged 100 women. I call bullshit. People who screw 100+ aren't busy posting numbers or bragging about them to other people. They're out there getting laid.
Also, are you people so obsessed with gay sex because you secretly like it? If so, start watching gay tubes and shut the fuck up because your fantasies never were nor will ever be reality. Unless of course it's a gay gangbang fantasy. You could find lots of those on gaymaletube.com.
24 percent had more than 100 partners, but 43 percent had more than 500?
The percentage jumps upwards?
"Oh, I haven't had more than 100. I've had 750."
You cannot logic.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
