Just because promoting abstinence doesn’t always achieve abstinence doesn’t mean it isn’t a correct and worthy goal.

If society at large promoted abstinence – loudly, publicly and repeatedly instead of undermining healthy values – this issue of rampant premature sexuality would disappear.

I once said, actually more than once, that I hated black jellybeans. I never meant it to be a racist remark. I just didn’t like licorice, or “licorish.” I also favored cowboys in white hats as opposed to those guys in black hats who always seemed to be evil in one way or another. Even worse, I thought Sarah Palin was a very decent, intelligent, and caring woman, and a great Republican vice-presidential candidate in the last election.

I was almost proved wrong, not in my distaste for licorice and affinity for white hats but in my estimation of Sarah Palin.

Imagine my surprise to learn before the last election that she was a racist! How little I knew. I kept trying to understand why and how she became so bigoted and prejudiced that she could sink so low as to tarred with that vile epithet and I resolved to get to the bottom of the charge.

Maybe, I thought, it was somehow related to her job? Palin is the chief executive of the State of Alaska, in acreage the largest state in the union and, incidentally the only state in the union that seems to be weathering the current recession. That the governor is managing to keep Alaska solvent when so many other states are gasping for air, and begging to be stimulated by Obama, is indeed commendable but accomplishing that feat can’t rationally be explained by her racist attitudes so the cause had to be found elsewhere.

Maybe the pernicious seeds of her racism could be traced back to something she said? She certainly said a great deal to the condescending, supercilious Charlie Gibson but Palin said even more to the perky, wily Katie Couric.

Couric is widely credited with “bringing Sarah down” and the Republican ticket down last November with her CBS interviews of Palin, which also served to save Katie’s job. However, even though the governor flubbed some answers to Katie’s questions, nothing she said could even remotely described as racist.

The answer must lie in the governor’s personal life, it just had to since nothing else makes any sense and her life is so filled with negatives that it’s tough to remember them all.

Let me count those negatives. . . .

It appears that CP could benefit from some sex-ed. — David S

….as taught by the vaunted American public education system, does not, repeat NOT teach about people lying to each other, at least as far as I’ve noticed.

Then there’s the case of the guy who now has to pay $7M to a woman he infected with herpes simplex.

So….

….I wonder how many homosexuals are going to go after their erstwhile ‘lovers’ who infected them with HIV?

P.S. My point in the previous item is that women can lie about the veracity of their ‘protection’ as much as anyone else.

It appears that CP could benefit from some sex-ed. If you are sleeping with someone who might lie to you about their protection – why would you not bring your own? Pregnancy is not the only danger in this scenario.

Trust but verify. And use a condom.

Peace.

Given that-depending on which report you read (see your own search link above if you need help verifying this)-repeat abortions make up from 60-80% of all abortions, it’s pretty clear that it is in fact being used as birth control. By women who have already had one “oops” flushed away and still decided BC was just too damn much trouble.

I also have trouble with your anecdotal evidence, given that many inner cities have under-18 pregnancy rates of well over 60%. I’ve yet to see the small town that has one of every 2 teen girls pregnant by 18. And no inner city pushes abstinence-only.

…that’s how I came of my second ‘brilliant’ and ‘attractive’ daughter.

I just wish she’d pay as much attention to her father as she does to her—from me estranged—mother.

I mean this kid is BRILLIANT. But I’ve had NO influence in her development. It’s all been up to her ‘mother’. And I have to admit to grave concerns about THAT!

…every guy should carry a card—authentic or not—that he’s had a vasectomy.
