When we find that promiscuous sex causes AIDS, we mustn't warn people to wait for marriage and have just one partner. 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? Dan P.S.

You'll have to get in line. After delivering an editorial about the sexual promiscuity of liberals, she told a reporter that she likes to sleep around. "I'm single, so it's my business," she said. Which is true, of course. Except that her editorial blasted liberals for sleeping around, and said nothing about marriage. With a woman like that, if she told you how much she enjoyed having sex with you, you'd have to make sure she wasn't humming a tune and reading a newspaper when she said it. -- Ed Huntress |

I never said sex education was wrong. I said that to teach them that
premarital sex was wrong. Big difference. Back when our society held some taboos against such behavior we had far fewer problems. When you buy a car it comes with a manual of do's and don't's. When you buy a stereo it comes with a manual of do's and don'ts. When you buy a drill it comes with a manual of do's and don't's. We are supposed to read these things and avoid hurting ourselves or anyone else. When we have a kid we forget all about some of the most important do's and don't's and are appalled when he/she gets into trouble. My point was that there are some serious consequences to fooling around sexually and we just pretend that they don't present a threat, so there is no reason to follow any manual. I don't mean to sully your name, Dan, but why are you so intolerant of my opinion? Dan |

The only person gummer and others have to blame for their lack of character and morals is themselves and they should receive full credit for those decisions. What we do today determines where we will be tomorrow. |

Admit to not having any self control, blame your lack of initiative and income on something else, blame your open marriage on your wife's morals, and then throw it out there, that one needs to act like a school child to show his infinite mastery of self control. Yet still, relatively normal people make excuses for him. Such is life in this particular ng.. |

And an amusing factoid floating around a whole back showed that the porn industry gave more campaign money to the republicans than to the democrats the last few election cycles. So, take it how you will. I was referring mostly to the increasing partisanship, the intellectual laziness, the inability to think, religious bigotry, and all the rest. Every election politicians leverage all that **** to win--regardless of the damage caused. Also, as people fall into poverty, things like morality go out of style. Since the republicans have been 100% in charge more people have fallen into poverty, regardless of excuses. And they're the same guys who spend so much time playing lip-service to the "morality" crowd. I suppose you could try to pretend that having control of the White House, the Congress, the court system, and most state governments doesn't give one group any sort of sway over the population, but I figure somewhere among all that authority lies at least a smidgen of responsibility for what happens on their watch. Right. And Ive got some ocean front property just east of Tucson for you...really really cheap. Cash only, small bills. Well, I do hate my new job here, in Dallas. If it's cheap enough and comes with at least a photo of the ocean I'm in. (: -- B.B. --I am not a goat! thegoat4 at airmail dot net http://web2.airmail.net/thegoat4/ |

"Robert Sturgeon" No. If I were to hand you a revolver with 30 chambers armed, then told you you could empty all but one chamber, it wouldn't be a good deal... I'd like to see THAT revolver! Hypothetical, for institutional use only... The ONLY sure-fire way to prevent the spread of HIV and pregnancy is abstinence...followed by monagamy. So, you are saying that no one should have sex, ever again. THERE'S a working solution, all right! Are you suggesting that monogamous couples don't have sex? No, I'm stating categorically there is no way to ensure your mate or mate-to-be or was-mate(s) is/are and/or was/were and/or will be monogamous... How about we will make a law such that no Republican or Libertarian who has ever voted Republican can ever have sex ever again. I'm sure you'd like that. Heck, you'd probably like to execute anyone who ever voted Republican or Libertarian. Nope, I'm not like the NeoCon proles. Thank Gaia.

From what I've seen of your posts, you seem to be just like some of them, thoroughly intolerant of dissenting opinions - just working the other side of the street. On the other hand, as weird as some of them are, I don't recall seeing any of them admitting to the belief that the earth is a living being, let alone a god. And I thought they were supposed to hostile to the proles (short for "proletarians"?). By labeling them "NeoCon proles," you look to be hostile to the working people yourself. Some "liberal" you are... -- Robert Sturgeon Summum ius summa inuria. http://www.vistech.net/users/rsturge/ |

I had said:
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. EskWI said: Moron. You do exactly that each and every time you fly. You live in a dream world if you think otherwise. I'm a Commercial Pilot and an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. You have no clue what you are trying to refute. Aircraft accident stats from the '90s show that small General Aviation aircraft had about 8 accidents per 100,000 flight hours, 1.7 of them fatal. Light commercial aircraft had 4, one of them fatal. Airliners had 0.2 per 100,000 flight hours, 0.03 of them fatal. 100,000 hours in your car at 60 mph is 6 million miles, and the chances of a fatal accident are at least 11 times greater than the airliner. On the other hand, depending on what website we check, the failure rate for condoms runs between about 2% to 10%. NOBODY would get on an airplane that had a 10% chance of crashing on any given flight. Yet we give kids condoms and tell them to go have fun, worrying less that when we put them on the plane to see Grandma? Who's the moron here? Dan |

I haven't seen any actual people (as opposed to anonymous "liberals" quoted by others) state that condoms make you invulnerable. That's funny......I thought the term "SAFE" sex was the term most commonly applied to condom use, not "SAFER" sex... The implication is that it is completely safe.......not marginally safer. |
