Unexplainable

I'll tell you why. Because now there are treatments. Now there's hope for a cure. It's not the automatic death sentence it used to be.

needles is out, but the thought of aids as the homosexual problem is OLD thinking.

We could always go to Uganda & start humping 6month olds. It's a fad there.

What those kids need is education, free and easy access to condoms, and a kick in the ass.

Leave out the condoms & the education part. They've proven to be ineffective.

and history has proven the kicking in the ass solution didn't do so good either.


i beleive kids are gonna have sex (I did and nothing anyone could have said would have changed that) give em the damn condoms, and the knowledge to use them, and HOPEFULLY some will

also cause nowadays they educate about aids, back in my day the TERRIFIED us, told us in details all the horrible ways it could kill you.

bring back the fear, stop coddling the lil bastids.

Show me one school, pre-Sexual revolution, that had a 13% pregnancy rate

society has changed since then, kids ARE having sex younger, it is more open society, whether you think it is a good thing or a bad thing, it is the way things are right now,.

How about adding in a week of reality training in being a teen parent too?

Um, no, they're not. Not really anyhow. I was fondling girls at puberty. Given 20 minutes of safe time, I got a leg-over. The big difference today, is that from 3pm when the schools let out, to 6 pm when mom and dad get home from work, there's no supervision. Plenty of safe time.

Take back adult authority & begin parenting again.

Also curious to note the correlation between declining belief in God as a society and increase in stuff like teen pregnancy. Right about the time we started trying to ban school prayer, we started seeing knocked up cheerleaders.

But I'm certain the two have nothing in common...has to be another explanation...

Interesting that, for all the good intentions of the 60s so many have proven to be utter failures.

One of the ideas that worked was the latest rendition of the Civil Rights act. No longer do I get denied my vote, or travel, due to the color of my skin, but only by the degree of my apathy...;)

How are your rights holding up? ;)

Mine? Well lemme think...

The ones everyone else isn't busy giving away you mean? Like the right to practice my religion in a place other than a church or my living room? That one ain't doing so well these days.

Then there's that whole mess about my right to bear arms. Despite the fact that I am not a convicted felon, there is an alarming number of folk who want to see that right stripped from me.

Seems someone on the Supreme Court wants to monkey with my right to retain the property I work so hard to own and maintain too. Something about Imminent Domain, and the betterment of society as a whole. Like we need another damn road...

And then there is the whole freedom of expression thing. I mean, here we are, supposedly in the land of the free and the home of the brave, and I'm constantly being told that I can't drive my pickup truck, resplendent in its Confederate battle flag regalia, into certain places. Since when did the land of the free cower from a knot of lawless dope dealing thugs who decided on their own to become overlords of our neighborhoods?

Oh, and freedom of speech? Died years ago, unless your speech meets the accepted standards of the PC braindead.

You and I pay a greater percentage of our income in taxes right now than was required when a bunch of hooligans we call our Founding Fathers went and dumped tea in the water up in Bahstahn. But we're free...









My rights don't seem to be faring all that well.
 
HOLY SHIT BATMAN!!!!!!!!!

from a CNN report on the victims at this high school...
FOREMAN: School officials, such as Dianne Talarico, are scrambling to explain how they're working with parents, students and community groups to bring the teen pregnancy rate under control.

TALARICO: For 20 years, it has been steadily decreasing and graduation rates are increasing. So, we are clearly doing some right things.

RUSH: Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. Stop it. Wait a second. If it's decreasing, how come we're hearing about it now? If 65 out of 490 are pregnant is "progress," what was it last year? What was it two years ago? And why didn't we hear about it then? Let's resume tape.

FOREMAN: That's cold comfort to 16-year-old Rachel Hinton, whose back-to school shopping will include a stop at the maternity store. Like many, she knew about birth control, knew about the risks of early sex.

RACHEL HINTON: I never planned on getting pregnant. I mean, to me, it was something that always happened to that other girl. You know, I never could get pregnant. I'm too good to get pregnant (giggle) but here I am (giggle).

FOREMAN: It's tricky business, though. Schools say they can't do all the parenting, while some parents say...

JOANNE HINTON: Well, I'm not going to totally blame the school system. I'm going to take part of the blame. But I can only be there so much for her.
This mother should be brought up on child neglect charges.

in case you want to hear it

That's your argument? That's the great liberal hope? Instead of closing ranks to take care of the problem on a fundamental level, reward the errant behavior with government benefits and give condoms out to children because "that's the way it is"? :rofl:

Here's an idea for you...stop giving out government benefits...period...to children. This means no WIC, no food stamps, no medicare, no medicaid, no housing, nothing. Split the cost of raising the baby between the grandparents. You want to see change? Make people responsible for their own actions, and stop feeling sorry for them. Make them stand up, and do for themselves instead of paying them to be miserable.
