Abortion.What do you think about it?

Since we have a pathological liar in PR, and canting religionist in RL and a flannel-mouthed gobshite in Spendi--yes, it's just become a pissing contest.

Very interesting reasoning, also fuc*king stupid.

For me too cj....I am just SO way prettier than you.

As anyone can plainly see from my picture, i'm pretty than all of y'all . . . but i don't rub your noses in it . . .

PRussian just has no class . . .

My dear friend Walter posted a closeup picture of me on another thread, I then realized just how ugly I am, I can live with that.

Did you bring the 1% milk home?

Don't tell me you didn't hear me reminding you.

CYRANO:
Ah no! young blade! That was a trifle short!
You might have said at least a hundred things
By varying the tone. . .like this, suppose,. . .
Aggressive: 'Sir, if I had such a nose
I'd amputate it!' Friendly: 'When you sup
It must annoy you, dipping in your cup;
You need a drinking-bowl of special shape!'
Descriptive: ''Tis a rock!. . .a peak!. . .a cape!
--A cape, forsooth! 'Tis a peninsular!'
Curious: 'How serves that oblong capsular?
For scissor-sheath? Or pot to hold your ink?'
Gracious: 'You love the little birds, I think?
I see you've managed with a fond research
To find their tiny claws a roomy perch!'
Truculent: 'When you smoke your pipe. . .suppose
That the tobacco-smoke spouts from your nose--
Do not the neighbors, as the fumes rise higher,
Cry terror-struck: "The chimney is afire"?'
Considerate: 'Take care,. . .your head bowed low
By such a weight. . .lest head o'er heels you go!'
Tender: 'Pray get a small umbrella made,
Lest its bright color in the sun should fade!'
Pedantic: 'That beast Aristophanes
Names Hippocamelelephantoles
Must have possessed just such a solid lump
Of flesh and bone, beneath his forehead's bump!'
Cavalier: 'The last fashion, friend, that hook?
To hang your hat on? 'Tis a useful crook!'
Emphatic: 'No wind, O majestic nose,
Can give THEE cold!--save when the mistral blows!'
Dramatic: 'When it bleeds, what a Red Sea!'
Admiring: 'Sign for a perfumery!'
Lyric: 'Is this a conch?. . .a Triton you?'
Simple: 'When is the monument on view?'
Rustic: 'That thing a nose? Marry-come-up!
'Tis a dwarf pumpkin, or a prize turnip!'
Military: 'Point against cavalry!'
Practical: 'Put it in a lottery!
Assuredly 'twould be the biggest prize!'
Or. . .parodying Pyramus' sighs. . .
'Behold the nose that mars the harmony
Of its master's phiz! blushing its treachery!'
--Such, my dear sir, is what you might have said,
Had you of wit or letters the least jot:
But, O most lamentable man!--of wit
You never had an atom, and of letters
You have three letters only!--they spell Ass!
And--had you had the necessary wit,
To serve me all the pleasantries I quote
Before this noble audience. . .e'en so,
You would not have been let to utter one--
Nay, not the half or quarter of such jest!
I take them from myself all in good part,
But not from any other man that breathes!

I'm not as pretty as dys but I am a rocket surgeon.

I would be very surprised if you truly wanted pro-life folks to teach sex ed to all kids. I doubt that you're thinking before you are posting.

But if they did, it would go a long way toward solving the unwanted pregnancy problem I can tell you that.

You may not have the guts to tell kids that they cannot do whatever they wish, but I certainly have no problem doing so.

Why?

I am raising a child born to a nineteen year old mother who was born to a fifteen year old mother.

You'd better believe that my kid will completely understand the consequences of unintended pregnancies and the arsenal of contraceptives at his disposal for when he becomes sexually active.

Teaching abstinance is not going a "long way" or even a short way towards "solving" unwanted pregnancies.

No, see, real life was talking about solving the "unwanted pregnancy problem". It's very famous in high school math classes these days:

sex ed = X
pro-life = Y
pro-choice = Z
unwanted pregnancies = U
guts = G
kids = K
condoms = C
abstinence = A

AZ/X + CYX + U(Y-Z) + (G+C)K = 6.982

Solve for U.

I think U = -X+ -C

Do I pass?

Partial credit.

I was looking for a numerical value!

Hmmm.....

U = <875,000 per year.

Now do I pass?

Why would ANYONE not want to hav sex education for their kids?

no...please don't answer that real life....I don't think I could take it.

Chai, they would when G=0.

(And sure, you pass, Boom.)

Brilliant!

Hi Chai,

We taught our kids about sex.

But there's a lot of folks that I would not have wanted to teach my kids about sex.

Quite a few of the current crop of predators among public school teachers would top the list, if you are having trouble understanding why.

It used to be if your kid went to school, it was the other kids you worried about most. Now it's the teachers.

Hardly a week goes by where there is not a new story in the public view about a predatory teacher or school official .

Many of the incidents probably never see the light of day in the press.

My cousin works in the main office for a school district. When the high school principal was caught pants down (literally) in the office with a 15 year old, she said there was no disciplinary action taken.

She was disgusted as she described how he had been given what was known as 'presidential treatment' (this was during the Clinton years). No consequence of any kind.

Hi Boomer,

Which one was practicing abstinence, the 19 year old or the 15 year old?

Neither obviously.

Do you understand the concept?

How can you say 'it doesn't work' and hold out as an example a situation where it wasn't used?

How 'bout teaching your kid 'don't be sexually involved til you are married' ?

Not 'here's some condoms and some pills, hopefully one of them will work' .

Are you able to tell your kid 'No' ?

Do they respect you enough to do what you say?

Wow, you need to get a clue.
