Reply to What's Wrong with Abstinence? in Misc JoeUser Forums

In 1918, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) told American parents that “it is no longer possible for you to choose whether your child will learn about sex or not.” According to the PHS, most American boys learned about sex from “improper sources” by the age of nine. The “unfortunate effect of these early impressions” had, PHS warned, not only resulted in a gross misunderstanding of sex, but also been a major factor in the spread of venereal disease (The Parents’ Part [the U.S. Public Health

One school says that words are said that are not the truth, just put out there to hurt. The other school thinks that in anger the truth of things come out, you say what you have been feeling for years. - ModerateMan When I think I'm telling the truth those words are meant to hurt, but always I later say they were only made in anger. gene you are one sick twisted puppy. - ModerateMan I don't think that's Col.Gene out there, MM... <b

How can they "not" be equal? Care to try and explain that? - Drmiler I think you've realized already that it would be much easier to have me speak about the differences between the two incidents then to have you explain the similarities between the two. Guess what, I win. Thanks. Seriously, the major similarities are as you mentioned and it pretty much ends there. The two incidents may be similar but not equal to each other by any stretch. I'm not wailing

Drmiler, let me share with you an account from my daily life. I meet with a 'customer' once a week who is a Korean War Veteran. He wears his truck-driver-style Vet. headgear when he visits. The late-seventies grandfather makes me feel so small. While waiting, he will share stories of looking back on buddies only to find a burst grenade and disembodied legs replacing the spot of his commando brethren. He'll recount tales of gunfire and locations I can only vague

Okay, start raising funds for the memorial, drmiler. Petition your representatives. You care enough to do that yourself, don't you? You will have to raise quite a bit of money for that prime real-estate in New York's downtown financial district for it to become a profitless memorial to a date in history - regardless of sentimental value. And certainly, I could never hold Pearl Harbor in mind to the equal of anyone who experienced it or heard of it's present happenings from my

How does it harm Bill if Bob has a private jet? - Draginol Surely it doesn't have to. Let's just make certain the compromise is right. How many Bills work under Bob? Can they afford to buy what they are making? If the answer is no, then only other Bobs can enjoy a jet, a luxury few could convincingly persuade Bills is a necessity. That might create some social friction. Maybe not to the degree of le' revolution'! but enough to see some sort of 'leftist' pressure in the elec

That's a nice link, Draginol. Unfortunately, it provides no specific citations, quotes from the book, etc. . So not only does Emily not have any verifiable account to offer us, but you don't either. I am not so naive to think that there's never been cheating by any side in politics but Em has painted all Democrats on the campaign trail as those carrying booze and cartons o' smoke to ghettos to buy votes. Obvious smear and without source - heresay. But then again,

President Bush's quote was pretty straight forward.

Of course the standard of living has risen for all. What is most probably the concern of these 'writers of the left-side' is the growing divide between 'have's' and 'have-not's' coinciding with the financial path America blazes toward an economic environment which will disproportionately favor the already wealthy versus those requiring basic needs at the poor's expense.

Demcoratic activists will go into very poor neighborhoods and exchange cigarettes or booze in exchange for voter registration and then go and vote for them. - Em They will ? Holy shit! You'd think they'd eventually get caught for such brazen action. Got some newspaper clippings? A link? Anything? Sounds more like you're parroting heresay without able to provide any proof.

Good post, Rightwinger. Seeking to divide the American people amongst any line, Democrat and Republican, Liberal vs. Conservative, etc. ignores too many contributing factors and unrecognized variables. I don't wish to pursue that strategy as a way of fixing our country's ills. As you have probably realized by now, I'm not using the war on terror issue as political fodder to bash or bolster anyone. I do remain skeptical of the execution of the war 'on terror'. We could be much smarte

I guess the reason Olberman's speech didn't resonate with me so much is though he made some very good points he seemingly framed his entire speech around the lack of a 9/11 memorial. Five years later there is no building rising to show with proud defiance that we would not have our America wrung from us, by cowards and criminals. - Keith Olberman I could care less about a useless memorial dedicated to a day when nearly 3,000 people I don't know died. I see little reason

Bunnahabhain is simply dittohead trolling - he's not going to hurt any one regardless of how many curse words he uses. Bunnahabhain should have read my posts #7, #9, #12, #15, and #17 before labeling me via his knee-jerk judgement. He's illustrative of those who quickly dismiss information on personal bias instead of filtering it as objectively as possible.
