Where did you hear that? Come on, out with it.


We come up with
stupid programs like condom distribution for teens and needle exchange
programs for drug addicts, and pretend that we can keep having sex with
whomever and not suffer anything.


Well, let's see if I have your point correct.

Greed is bad, greed is a sin, greed causes untold harm. But greed is a
human failing so we need to refrain from regulating greed because some
guy a while ago said 'greed, if managed, can have good effects on the
economy.'

Killing is bad, killing is a sin, killing is prohibited by the 10
Suggestions.
But we are supposed to believe a politician who says 'killing is a good
thing, and fun, if we do it to people not of our tribe, even if those people
are much like us and pose no real threat to us or our way of life.'

Therefore, we need to withhold all intelligent talk about sex and its
consequesnces so our vulnerable children are ignorant and susceptible to
peer pressure and are totally vulnerable to diseases we have no cure for
and pregnancy for which they will seek abortions.

Now I understand.

Hint: check out the abortion rates in areas of the country held under thrall
of the pseudochristian right and compare them with abortion rates in
areas of free thinking sinners...


I wouldn't get into an airplane that
has structural problems that might cause a very slight chance of
inflight breakup, but it's OK to use a condom that has a very slight
chance of failure? Both result in death, you know.


So you would rather jump off a cliff with a lead weight in your backpack?

Smat, very smart.


Free sex has become so sacrosanct and politically correct that
the common sense that applies to other safety issues doesn't apply to
it.


Sex has become such an emotional issue with a certain segment of the
population that no intelligent conversation is possible with these people.

I notice this segment is the one that claims to be "reasonable," as compared
with the "emotional" left...

Go figure.


Girls who have premarital sex feel used and dirty and worthless.


Or loved and appreciated when their parents treat them like furniture.

I guess you don't talk to short people much.


Guys looking for a wife want someone who hasn't been test-driven and
the girl wants someone who hasn't been in the habit of playing the
field; he might keep it up after she marries him.


A small portion of the universe might hold these values. Most young
people do not think so far ahead; certainly young people who have been
kept intentionally ignorant might rebel against what was "taught" them,
even if it is true, when they feel used and are angry.


These are facts


If by "facts" you mean what the dictionary says about "opinions," I
guess we can agree.


and
they're completely incompatible with what we're teaching kids about
"responsible sex." How stupid can we get for either spreading such
nonsense or swallowing it? Is the deeper issue just that we refuse to
be told that there are some things we should not do?


Pretty much the teenage mentality, yes, especially if they feel you have
been dishonest with them.

But honesty is not one of the traits expected from your kind, is it?

Don't confuse murder and killing. They are not anything alike.
