[quote]I really really really stress abstinence with my son[/quote] I don't have a problem with that. Your kid, your values, your way of teaching. Actually, I don't think any parents actively coach their kids on the fine art of getting laid. The fact that you let him know of the other stuff is what I care about...and thank you for doing that. I just think that only teaching about one option and not even bringing up the others is a bad idea.&nb

[quote]how does/did your school district handle sex education?[/quote] If I recall we got the "abstinence is 100% safe" or whatever....and I believe they threw some general safe sex stuff in there. Strangely enough I recall dry humping with clothes on as one of their ideas... I'm a staunch opponent of abstinence-only. You need to learn about all your options...I believe that about any and everything. Abstinence works, but only if kids want to follow through w

[quote]Anyways, since there was no blood he just looked like a guy passed out, perhaps from drinking. which is a good reason why people would walk on by without calling the police.[/quote] I wouldn't call it a 'good' reason. Passing out isn't exactly healthy- diabetic shock, heart attack, aneurysm...and a whole host of other things can make you land on the ground without external signs of a severe medical issue. ~Zoo

[quote]Zooologist said that the the government needs to make sure the woman gets welfare because we don't want the children to starve. [/quote] Well, to be more clear I said that as a society people don't want that. Honestly I don't care either way because I'm not emotionally invested in it. That sounds a tad evil, doesn't it? But you learn to be callous after awhile. ...kinda looks like I instigated this... :( ~Zoo

Maybe we should just reboot the whole economy and try again because everything seems pretty shitty at this point. ~Zoo

[quote]why can't children smoke (not that I want it just making a point)?[/quote] I've been smoking for my entire life and yet I've never had a cigarette in my mouth. Having two parents that smoke is fun...all the carcinogens, none of the supposed pleasure. Luckily I seem to have dodged the cancer and respiratory issue bullets so far. ~Zoo

I've been seeing "I told you so"s pop up on this very site...which just reeks of smugness. Admittedly I do like a good "I told you so" but it's not helpful at all. ~Zoo

[quote]For the record I've heard a LOT of different alternatives on talk radio to the stimulus fiasco. The simplest goes like this...let people keep their taxes for 6 months. That will stimulate the economy and benefits people who are actually working.[/quote] Well, then perhaps we should get some petitions and government backing going. Though I'm not sure if talk show hosts are well versed enough in economics to provide viable solutions. Ideas can sound good, but may

[quote]Are you kidding? It's part of a woman's body until it's born. Legally she can do whatever she wants while pregnant (smoke, drink, dance at the Grammys).[/quote] Then have a kid who pays for its idiotic mother's choices for the rest of its life. Funny how people aren't drawing up laws for this and yet everyone's riled up over abortion. ~Zoo

[quote]Why is it negative to point out mistakes? [/quote] It is negative to point out mistakes and not offer anything in place of them. Saying "Well, you screwed up!" and offering no constructive criticism or different plans of action accomplishes nothing but a bloated sense of self satisfaction that comes from pointing it out. Want to fix problems? Then offer new solutions rather than just shitting on everyone else's. Although I think conservat

Unless of course the student was being a total inflammatory dick about it. Not sure what his speech was or how he delivered it. Meh...need more details to decide who I should be mad at. ~

[quote]and there is NO evidence for the evolutionary theory when it comes to origins. NONE.[/quote] Evolution has nothing to do with origin. It depends on life existing and then changing. There's a whole other area of research when it comes to origins. If that's the argument you want to go with then creation isn't even in the same ballpark as evolution. It's a different game downtown. ~Zoo
