Well, your article makes a lot of sense a lot of the time. But regarding the above quote, and other mentions in the article, i fully agree luck is a component in life. Hard work and intelligence afford an individual more chances at getting lucky. That is my belief as an American.
Those Texas benefits metnioned, do they make a states governing philosophy unwise inherently? I think the article does not deliver. It also didn't mention when discussing housing, that the states "governing philosophy" required homeowner to have 20% equity to get a home. This allowed Texas to better weather the housing market bust. People, to a lesser degree, were not upside down almost overnight. If memory serves.

usamamasan1 I'm sorry... you must have missed the 8 posts where I ask you to address his clear disregard for his VERY failed "abstinance-only" sex "education" which has been shown to have raised the teen pregnancy rate in Texas 50% of the national average.

He ignores the problem... and it seems that you're very flagrantly ignoring the topic too.

So I'll ask you again....

Why does he seem Hell-bent on keeping Texas teenagers pregnant and infected with STDs?

I for one didn't get my sex ed from school. just sprayin'.

I don't know, man. Sounds like the government interfering with the free market.

So no, then.

You won't address that Texas has a teen pregnancy rate and REPEAT teen pregnancy rate 50% above the national average, don't think it's a problem and didn't get your "sex education" at school.

Not a problem to you.

So how do you plan, once that starts happening on a national level, to deal with all the unwanted kids that are produced as a bi-product of drunk teenagers having sex without condoms? Or should we just not worry about that and instead pretend it's not a problem?

Maybe everyone should be gay. No more unwanted pregnancies.

Count me out.

Maybe kids in their teens should know better. Maybe their parents should teach them some shit.

Family values.

or maybe educators should be allowed to teach them better

and if the parents should be teaching them why would rick perry allow teachers to only teach abstinence education, that is worse than no education on sex

Ok, well there's a solution. And how do you plan to stop THEM from having unprotected sex? Because it's not just unwanted pregnancies you need to stop.

Count me out.

I have. Trust me. People who care, sadly, have to take up your slack.

Maybe kids in their teens should know better. Maybe their parents should teach them some shit.

And how are they supposed to "know better?" Better than what? Know what? To "not have sex?" Yeah, that's going to work.

That's as unrealistic as everything else that's come out of the mouth of Rick Perry. Including his made up story about shooting a coyote. And maybe parents should teach them what? How to not have sex? That doesn't work either. Most parents don't know how to protect from STDs, either.

Do you also want parents to teach biology, algebra and physics?

Family values.

Something I obviously have and you don't. I value the health of families, and I value families and think that they shouldn't just be started by accident because kids in their teens didn't "know better."

Woot

Is the most wise thing you've said. Probably ever.

Texas had to cut billions. Much of it was in education. Shit has to give somewhere. When the almighty government can't take care of our retirement, health care and education, maybe we should take care of ourselves and our neighbors who need it?

Run Rick, run!

“I would say he’s a game-changer,” says Barry Wynn, a veteran fundraiser and former chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party. Wynn, who attended a meeting with Perry in Austin last week, says he is charismatic and has “a remarkable record of creating jobs.” Perry has also proven he can raise money, Wynn told me, and “there is a perception that he can win”—not just the nomination but the White House.

it doesn't cost more to tell someone to use a condom instead of just focusing on abstinence

You individuals need to start looking at some bigger pictures.



And wad, don't get your panties in a bunch if I don't respond to your gay stuff or whatever.

It actually costs more.

Most of those teenagers end up on government assistance because they can't afford to support their new families. Most of them aren't able to finish school and end up on some kind of program.

There's also the public health threats... when there are huge amounts of teenagers having unprotected sex with each other, STIs can pass around quite quickly.

But I guess in Texas, they like babies with chlamydia.

I hope most of the people within the 27% of the workforce in Texas that don't have health insurance have neighbors for doctors, or at least access to webmd.com. Woot??

I don't wear panties. And you can plunge your head into the sand all you want. Pregnant teenagers, STDs and gay people aren't going away, no matter how much you ignore us.
