I don't know Speer, I haven't looked at the situation to know all the factors involved.
But the numbers are extremley startling.

There might be a side effect to talking openly about sexuality, and that would be overpromoting it, but in any case it seems preferable to teen pregnancies and uninformed people spreading STDs.Originally posted by Albert Speer
what's the difference? I see the alternatives to stressing abstinence (giving out condoms) as a form of propaganda... a much stronger form that indoctrinates children into believing that sex is good; hell, they even give out condoms for us to have sex!
huh? what do condoms have to do with abstinence, and then, I doubt the "we" talking here is much inclusive.for us in the land of the free, teaching kids about condoms serves a contingency purpose. we want our kids to be abstinent firstly.

Encouraging teaching of evolution??? I think this is the generally accepted scientific view on how creatures came into their current configuration. If you OTOH are trying to imply W is for creationism teaching in schools you'll pardon me if ask for a source and/or cite.Originally posted by Oncle Boris
You've got it, if religion has such a broad appeal then it's because your country is more tolerant to obscurantism.
For most civilized people, a president who has no problem with teaching evolution in school, encouraging abstinence, and imposing his morality on others is a fundie.
If you don't think it's fundamentalism, then you are the ones in trouble.
Encouraging abstinence?? Wow!! Thats a bit of a shocker considering it is the best means to have effecitivity against sexually transmitted diseases as well as teen pregnancy. Is it realistic to think that abstinence is going to be adheared to, of course not, but it should be a societal goal to prevent the aforementioned ills. Failing that monogamy and then as last resort proper training and encouragement of use of condoms. Whats so friggin hard to understand?

I've always wondered why is it that here abortion is widely accepted but capital punishment isnt, in the US it seems to be the other way round...Originally posted by Albert Speer
they get abortions... here in america, most americans have some qualms with aborting their baby.Que l’Univers n’est qu’un défaut dans la pureté de Non-être.

Can we agree that abstinence is an ideal? If not, then we have a big gulf seperating the moral outlook of most americans and most Europeans. Even for practical matters, abstinence is the 100% successful way to prevent all these STDs and pregnancies you speak of.
we still have condoms though but as a contingency. for those who are too weak to be abstinent."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

FakeBoris is not a Euro. He's Quebecois.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Didn't he increase funding to religious schools, indirectly promoting it? And maybe I'm wrong, but couldn't he use his presidential powers to veto referendums about teaching creationism in SCIENCE classes?Originally posted by Ogie Oglethorpe

That's the point, abstinence won't be adhered to, therefore it's not a good way to prevent STDs. Sticking to an inefficient doctrine because of religious beliefs is a sort of fundamentalism.Encouraging abstinence?? Wow!!

Yes, and locking people in their homes is the best way to prevent crime. But sadly it's counter-productive and unrealistic.Originally posted by Albert Speer

Chirac's views that you have to extract promises from the US to do this or that is really ridiculous. It's not as if the US and UK have a ledger to compare what we do for them and what they do for us.
Blair can call up the WH at any time and get a good, friendly hearing. If we are in the position to do the UK a good turn, we will do so enthusiastically. It's not the same with Chirac and France.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Recently, there have been the cases of Canadian lumber and beef. ) though I'd say the mad cow ban is pretty good as it only bans those parts most likely to be infected while the rest can come in. Until the Canadian government can certify that it's beef is safe for consumers isn't it prudent not to sell it?
Yes, that's what I'm saying. Do you agree?Re unrest, you could have an ironic point, you mean that they don't want to press issues too much to avoid stirring up opposition?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Germany never would have declared war on us if the French didn't collapse like a house of cards. I don't know if Europe can ever pay the US back for what it has done over the decades - WWI, WWII, the Cold War, the Balkans. So y'all don't agree with Iraq? Fine, neither do I. But given our track record of assistance I'd think you would give us a pass on Saddam.Yeah, they should be held in debt because Germany declared war on you.Comment

Chirac is pretty much right. Blair looks like a complete doofus in the eyes of the world (exluding the Home Counties and the Red States).
Blair is lame. The only reason he'll get elected again is that the Tories are even more pathetic.Only feebs vote.Comment

thou shalt not MURDER...
