Hmmm, if you are homeless you should not donate to the candidate you best feel could help your situation? If, for example, the current Mayor, Senator, whatever cut the program you were working on, wouldn't you want to get involved and help in anyway? Perhaps tossing in a buck or three helped their self esteem. What would the alternative be? "Oh I'm sorry you cannot donate because you are homeless and we have to tell you how to spend your money."? It's a can't win proposition. I have often heard that the poor are the most generous to charities by percentage of income. Plus Nuke will tell you he was just going to buy a fifth of cheap wine

This is a prime example of a morals issue, not a sex ed issue. Presumably she figured out how she got pregnant the first time and chose to ignore it. She caught stds as in multiple. She was still clueless how she was infected? Didn't the Doctor tell her when she was first infected? Of course abstinance education wouldn't have made a difference here. The schools cannot teach everything. OK kids let's put down the textbooks and learn how to use condoms. I know kids that couldn't fix a dripping faucet, check the oil in a car, remove grass stains from blue jeans, read an interstate roadmap, yet we do not feel compelled to make that knowledge manditory for every student. Why should parents have conflicting moral and ethical values taught to their children? We are allowing the government to raise our children, with values that the government wants. That is wong.

But if kids are going to have sex isn't it safer in their bedrooms than parking in a remote area? If we are going to keep kids safe from STDs while they have sex, shouldn't we be concerned about assault, robbery, etc. from parking in unsafe areas? Where do you want them to have this safe sex? Or should we send a mixed message, we'll teach you all about it, but sneak around and find a dark alley somewhere? Further, it's all b.s. to me since I firmly believe that moral and ethical education should not be the responsibility of the schools, instead it should be the parents. I just noticed I'm debating this from a guy who lists his interests as I guess this is part of the porn. :headshake

Well it seems others believe it should have. You should have learned how to have your guy put on a condom as a Freshman. How it can be safe.

One man's opinion . . .

Just remember, he's from Florida where they couldn't figure out a voting maching. Perhaps Mac is better for them.

If you believe normal kids have sex at 15 and the abnormal ones abstain, then I agree. Kids need to be assured that abstaining is ok to. It is the only 100% full proof protection. Is this the advice you would give your daughter? Mom or Dad to 14 year old daughter. "Wow that Billy is hot. Remember what they taught you in school. Even if it's only a blow job have him wear a condom. He should put on the condom as soon as he has an erection and be very careful after intercourse in removing the condom. Have a fun night!" Teen pregnancy and drinking and driving are the two things that ruin more teenagers lives than anything else. Should we be teaching kids how to safely drink? What's next, hearing your 16 year old son say, "hey Mom, Shannon and I are going to have intercourse in my room, please don't disturb us." "OK son, just remember to wear a condom like they showed you in school. Thank God you two are doing it like everybody else. I was beginning to think you were abnormal."

If you do buy a Mac, Southsider2k4 can help you change your screen name to Wrong & Owens Seriously, in the olden days of the mid 1990s there actually was some differences in quality and some really screwy prices. You could get taken if you were not careful. Today, retailers and manufactures think of these as closer to washing machines than scientific tools. Head into Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, etc. or read the ads this Sunday and match up the best buy at the price point you are at. It is hard to really make a bad decision on a Wintel machine.

Are you kidding?! With the NSA having their World Championship in New Orleans?! Link

When people rally against National Education standards, I point out that California, Texas, and Florida account for almost 1/3 of the textbook sales. We have National standards because so many textbooks cannot be profitable. If Texas and Florida start using abstinance prefered text books, other states will be forced to follow. And, personally, If schools must teach sex ed, I think schools should stress abstinance instead of The Joy of Sex.

Did anyone know you had a Mac before naming you a moderator? The nice thing about owning a Mac is you can be assured every one of the 900 or so sold last year were handbuilt one at a time.

I acnnot believe a Republican was donating to the Dems The mentaly ill need to feel a part of the system

Translated, they are becomming more like PCs

LMAO, Was he the guy in the chicken costum?

Hep, the one damn post we actually want, regarding the Sears Tower, you won't post

I was just talking to an adult who had her laptop with her Master thesis stolen. She offered a $500 reward for the Word file and some related documents and the culprit could keep the machine. It broke my heart. She had zero backup. :headshake

AOL and a Mac, so easy to use even a college professor can figure it out

This is like the Emperor telling everyone to buy his clothes.

Dispite being rapidly outpaced by SS2k4 in total posts, ChiSoxfn continues to add to his steller lifetime totals by recently surpassing the 18,000 post count.

Last year I didn't regret not having any Cub fans close by, now I kindof miss them

Daley: Fix Wrigley, or I'll shut it down 4 busloads from Iowa?? I'm shocked!

Since when ? Start the story, sources close to me . . .

LMAO, excellent. Of course any Cubs story that ends with next year is frickin' funny

Just mention Nascar and watch the posts fly SS2k4, forget the .700 batting average in above average range at ss. After doing a little computing, and using a run of the mill keyboard, you are expending more energy and displaying better fine motor skill in posting 125 times per day at an average word count of 30, including spaces. You, my friend, as a poster, are a much better athlete than most Nascar drivers.
