only you cannot, becos she never said it was no longer a part of our culture, just that it is no longer dominant. you cannot assume that. over half of marriages end in divorce. that's just the women getting married. simple statistics and common sense will tell you the number of women who marry a man and stay with him raising his children until death is now a minority.
what do you propose? do you advocate abstinence-only sex education? do you think her idea of making contraception easily available is a bad idea?
did you wait until you were married to have sex?0 -
CorporateWhore wrote:As it relates to contraception:
If you're too fucking stupid to figure out how to use a condom by yourself, maybe you shouldn't be having sex. I mean, this isn't rocket science, people. I don't need a god damn doctor to walk into my classroom so he can teach me how to use one of these things. Also, I don't need anyone to tell me how to get one. It's plainly obvious where they are at CVS and if I want one, I can get one. There's no effing need for a bus to roll into campus and hand out condoms and pills to us.
Liberals must think that we're all fucking idiots, so they need to bestow their "progressive" knowledge of contraception onto us. It's really just a mechanism for dumbasses to come to our classes and tell us what takes two seconds for any non-comatose person to figure out.
I love the fact that Collin needed an MD to come to his class and tell him how to use a rubber. I sure hope that MD is getting paid big bucks for his job.
Congrats to us! We know how to fuck! Now, there's bigger problems in the world besides how you can get laid at the very next opportunity. Maybe we should start teaching our kids that instead of drowning them with penis lube chatter.
yes, most americans are that dumb and dont know about removing the air before application so it doesn't burst. they dont know what kinds of lubricants will destroy its effectiveness.
you say you've used condoms... you've had sex outside marriage then? isn't that immoral? how come you're allowed to and others aren't?0 -

People that want contraceptions already want sex, it's already on their mind. No one sees contraceptions and suddenly says 'Gee, I think sex would be a good idea right now.' They make sex safer. They don't create the urge, that's nature. You can't stop natural urges and sexual activity all you can do is make it safer and lessen the problems that arrive from it. It's just ridiculous to try to restrict helpful information and knowledge....but what should we expect from the same groups that promote burning books and music.If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Who doesn't have access to contraception? Believing that it's widely unavailable is not only ridiculous, but it's a crutch.The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.

You can't be serious.Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V0 -

How could girls who got 1500 on their SATs be so stupid about birth control? Abstinence only education, baby!
Blows my mind. Unbelievable. How can a developed western country allow its youth to be fed such utter bullshit? Especially when being properly educated in this area is literally a matter of life and death.It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!

We were free to ask any questions we wanted. All the famous myths were debunked. I thought this kind of education was the norm in the Western countries. You mean this doesn't happen in the States?
WOW!! What country are you in Collin? This certainly isn't the "norm" here in Oz!!NOPE!!!

I'm in Belgium. I can't actually say if it's the norm here but I went to three different schools and they all had at some point information days about sex (not necessarily for every year). My friends who went to different schools also had similar days in their school.THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

They did about drugs too. An ex-junkie came to talk about his struggle with heroin. And afterwards a doctor was ready to answer all kinds of questions about drugs. They talked about the dangers, the health risks, the impact drugs can have on your life and the lives of your family members and what goes on in your brain when you take drugs, they also gave information about the drugs laws.THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

the reason Christianity promotes children and is against contraceptives and abortions is the population race.....especially geared towards Muslims. As to an earlier post of yours...whats really wrong with having Rosie couples with children???

Christianity is not "against" contraception. Has no problem with it actually."When all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse... better find yourself a place to level out."0 -

i think maybe the catholic church may have at some point taken an anti-contraception stance, but the majority of Christians around the world are not catholic (this is not a catholic smear)."When all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse... better find yourself a place to level out."0
