denn034:

That''s right, bozo...aggrandize the virtues ignorance. Following your logic, ending driver education would eliminate car accidents.

Unplanned pregnancies and STDs did not magically come into existence with *** ed. So much for your drivel.

As Elliot Spitzer''s wife now realizes, apparently it''s not safe inside marriage either.

That''s because Mr Elliott, like any jerk who''d cheat or play in bathrooms, has no sense of decency or concern for other people.

here''s the press release:

here''s the search phrase i used on the cdc site:

teenage girls std study

[talkingham]

I''d like to see the numbers broken down by ethnicity, education, region,and family income, otherwise they are meaningless.

There is no such thing as "safe ***" outside of marriage. Posted by mike71067 at 02:52 PM : Mar 11, 2008

[The only difference, kids are still kids after all and the permissiveness on TV and in music is the same, is $ex and abstinence ed. Telling kids how to have the $ex is the only variable. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that $ex and abstinence ed are the culprit. Period!]

i''d say we could go to war w/ that logic.

[hypnotoad72]

If it''s wrong to be in committed relationships, to not screw around, and so on, maybe these people can move to their own island and die from their own diseases.

Yes, everyone has urges. Yes, they can be contained. We are not guppies, dammit.

[hypnotoad72]

Every generation says parents of the past were better parents but, that''''s nonsense. Parents tend to be the same from generation to generation. Period!

If that''s true, how does that fit with "evolution"? If you ask me, we''ve been devolving the last 30 years... that''s a generalization and there are exceptions to the rule, but there are problems afoot.

And, yes, the media is a valid target -- especially when the parents are unable, or unwilling, to do their jobs - with the schools saying it''s not their responsibility either.

One would think the "latch key" phenomenon would have had somebody hitting the brakes...

[nexxion-2009]

Hah, you expect me to believe half of black teenage women have STDs? Mind providing some more valuable information like the data that was gathered? I mean, it''s fine knowing your spin on it CBS, but I would rather know what makes this study credible among other things (Area of sample, how many samples, income, religion, education, etc...) and if it''s all on an equal playing field. I''ve searched number of articles related to this, including the CDC website itself, and yet nobody seems to be able to back up their ''facts'' with data. Anybody know where that can be found?

Wow... some people like denn034 are just shockingly ignorant. To oversimplify in such a manner is just appalling. I''m not sure if they were joking or if they actually *believe* the drivel that they wrote.

[frankson2]

Two words come to mind........HOLY MACKEREL!!! A one out of four statistic is almost unbelievable.

[denn034]

Every generation says parents of the past were better parents but, that''s nonsense. Parents tend to be the same from generation to generation. Period!

[denn034]

I repeat, there was no $ex or abstinence ed in the schools I attended from kindergarten to 12th Grade and here''s the result: No HIV infections, 2-3 STDs, and 1-2 pregnancies. The schools have it now and there are tons of HIV and STD infections as well as pregnancies. The only difference, kids are still kids after all and the permissiveness on TV and in music is the same, is $ex and abstinence ed. Telling kids how to have the $ex is the only variable. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that $ex and abstinence ed are the culprit. Period!

You''''re equating $ex with lying, stealing and cheating? That just plain idiotic.
---------------------

Only idiotic to "anything goes" liberals. The common denominator between these 4 things is morality. People chose to moral or immoral. Most liberals hate the idea of morality, thus the intolerance toward religion.

We''re pretty tired of unthinking fascists liberals too. Society is not "personal freedom" at all costs, as you suggest. It is about personal responsibility. It used to be that even liberals understood that, but most are now just unprincipled libertines.

You are right on target. If the parents can''t manage to provide the nurturing, supervised environment for their children, then don''t have them. The raising of children is the most important function of parents. The direction and quality of their lives is in the parents hands. How sad for the poor kids who are just existing, going further down the drain every day.

"Too many women opt to work, trading a few short-term financial gains, for the meaningful development of their children." Posted by drivelphobe

That is exactly right. People are greedy. If one parent can''t stay home and look after the kids or at least just have a part-time job, THEN DON''T HAVE KIDS! If both parents have to work in order to have kids, why would you have them? The reason why there is such a problem is because parents that work all the time do not have time or they are too tired to pay attention to them. So therefore they never know where they are or what they are doing.

[jakmom2]

This problem is very real and is in every walk of life, single parents, married couples, poor, middle, and upper class. Go ahead and teach your children abstinence, but do not be so blind as not to teach them how to protect themselves. So if they chose not to follow your guidelines, they do not end up with a child or an STD that can alter ther rest of their life .

[erasmus6]

We have had s-e-x ed classes for years and years here. My mother taught me NOTHING, so if it wasn''t for the school, I would have known NOTHING. And I can tell you that just because I was taught something didn''t mean that I ran right out and had s-e-x. A person is either going to have s-e-x or they aren''t, learning about it isn''t going to make them do it.

I also have two daughters who had s-e-x ed in school and I also gave them information and one didn''t have s-e-x until she was 24.

[drivelphobe]

Modern day parenting is lax and inferior. I feel a large proportion of the problem is a direct result of working mothers. Too many women opt to work, trading a few short-term financial gains, for the meaningful development of their children. The result is a lifetime of hell for the kids. It''s a shame.

Add that to the influx of illegals, non-assimilating immigrants, and the drug, alcoholic, me-first population, and there you go.

The pressure on properly raised, morally conscious kids to go along to get along, is enormous. Many decent, focused young people lose their way in the morass of confusion over decisions. The worst in society are having severe, deleterious effects on these kids.

The family provides the foundation for self-confidence, healthy lifestyles, and successful pathways for the future. We have too many dysfunctional relationships raising dysfunctional children and I fear the worst is yet to come.

"Of course teens have urges, but they can be taught to not act on them, just as they are taught not to lie, steal and cheat."

You''re equating $ex with lying, stealing and cheating? That just plain idiotic.

"The liberal answer is to allow anyone and everyone to spread disease and totally ignore personal responsibility for sexual actions"

Really? Is that my "answer"? Because I''m not sure what I would get out of that. I''m constantly amazed at the endless blatant lies you conservatives tell yourselves about who those you perceive to be evil evil "liberals". "Liberals want to destroy America". What? Who? I live here to, why would I want that?

I am so so so so so tired of you religious nuts. Seriously. Go find a cave to live in, OK? You don''t get to decide for me what I do with my body.

Period.
