Every Rose Has Its Cold Sore

31. I've watched both seasons of the show and do think all the girls on there are skanks, hookers & ex-porn stars. Having said that, Brett Michaels seems to be a pretty cool guy and he always treated the girls on the show w/ a lot of respect. He was very kind to everyone on the show.

32. O.K., I get the joke.....Brett Michael's romantic-life is a cesspool of ick, but let's get some facts straight about the cold sore issue. Now in my 40's, I've been getting cold-sore outbreaks 1-2x a year since I was about 9 years old. The result had nothing to do with anything sexual, OBVIOUSLY, but rather is the result of having endured two bouts with Chicken Pox as a kid. The herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores, is the same virus as chicken pox. Most people have it coursing through their veins, but only some will have outbreaks. My point?.....don't judge every lip-sore you see because they're not always the result of being a "ho".

33. First of all, he doesn't wear a "wig"...he is receding, not bald and they're called hair extentions. Second, he does NOT have dentures. I'm sure none of your have ever had a cold sore before....lol....Granted he DOES kiss a lot of chicks. He is not a has been either. He has been with Poison for 22 years, and has a solo career as well, and sells out almost everytime. If you are offended by the show.....DONT FREAKIN WATCH IT!!! How many rock stars look as HOT as him at 45??? That's the problem with this country, people are too quick to judge when they don't know what the heck they are talking about. Most of those skanky girls are just there to boost their careers. And it's damn funny to watch them make fools of themselves. Bret doesn't need a show to get girls. But it's sure fun to watch!!!!!

34. Just so you know, not everyone who gets cold sores are nasty whores! You people are awful! I have had cold sores / fever blisters since I was a child. Some people like me get them because they are genetic! Some people get them just from being out in the sun too much. Some of them are from a food allergy like if I eat too much tomato, (which if you think about pasta, pizza, sandwiches with tomatoes, everything you dip ketchup and or bbq sauce in, tacos etc.... applies to most foods!) Then factor in ingredients like arginine and citric acid which trigger cold sores and pretty much every other food has to be eliminated from your diet!

They are horribly painful, and make people feel self conscious when they shouldn't be! In fact according to Health A to Z, "Oral herpes is very common. More than 60% of Americans have had a cold sore, and almost 25% of those infected experience recurrent outbreaks."

So just be nice!
