Attention students: Maternity clothing is now offered in the school store.

Yeah, looks like Bush's plan to eliminate any sex ed except abstinence training is working awesome. Onward, Christian soldiers!

It reminds me of that funny story where researchers studied the effectiveness of sex ed programs by splitting the studied students into three groups: One group recieved comprehensive sex-ed, one group recieved abstinence-only education, and a control group recieved no sex education whatsoever.

Then, once the study concluded, the comprehensive sex-ed kids were having less sex and safer sex, while the abstinence-only students were equivilant to the control group.

[Ironwood]

Hey, you have drives and needs that have been genetically and hormonally imperative since the dawn of time !!  Please don't do 'em !!

Next !


Yeah, that'll work.  Abstinance is yet another Bush pander to the fucking religious wankers that infest your god forsaken country.


This has been a bitter anti-American drivelling, once again brought to you by Ironwood Inc and the Number 11.

[Merusk]

Why 11? I'd have thought 69 would have sponsored that message.

Seriously, I can't tell if you're trying to be funny or not anymore.

Should I point out that there's such a thing as green text, or are you actually heading into raging douchebag territory?

You think you've got problems (?)

I don't even know.

I think they made a ytmnd about this school.

That highly detailed and professional analysis missed the chick to the right of the 'player' who seems to turn men into homosexuals. 3 Partners, one goes gay, one stops having sex after her. Hrm.

Video games?

Where can I find these video games that lead to women becoming libidinous?

Then, once the study concluded, the comprehensive sex-ed kids were having less sex and safer sex, while the abstinence-only students were equivilant to the control group.

Par for the course. Same with gun violence/accidents and gun safety education. The puritans just want to say "no", but that's the path to ignorance.

Isn't this Useless News, though? Unless Shockeye is gonna be a poppa....

[Kenrick]

It was my personal experience through high school and college that avid video gaming means no sex.

That would be ironic.  Introduce video games to children as a means of abstinance.

Just because there's a country club in the city don't mean shit. Ever see Roger and Me? The minority population is roughly twice in Canton what it is in the state of Ohio (thank you, US Census Bureau). I don't think that's much of a coincidence. The percentage of college graduates is also half in Canton what is in the state. And the rate of poverty is also twice the state average. Poor + uneducated = knocked up teenagers. Do the math, people!

Yep, this is why the smart people need to start having more kids. And why we should start passing better support laws for children born out of wedlock.

Hey, we need someone to dig the ditches of the future, and volunteer for our military because there just isn't any other economic hope for them. Stop trying to restrict the options of future American Imperialism!

Disclaimer: I am in no way disparaging our military, or trying to say that every person who volunteers for the military is a dumb son of an unwed welfare mother with no hope of going to college or doing anything other than flip burgers or dig ditches.

As is my modus operandi, I will make this about myself. My parents both went into the military. My dad because he came from a poor family and wanted to become an electrician. My mom because she came from a poor family with 5 kids whose parents pretty much gave her the boot as soon as she turned 18 (and because of her academic struggles in high school, college never felt like an option to her). My dad got diagnosed with red/green color blindness when he registered. Oops! Can't read wires, throw him on a ship in Nam. My mom did fine acting as a sort of "den mother" to new recruits. They met when my mom was 18 and my dad was 20, and got married in six months. THey wanted to be young parents, so they got preggers as soon as they could. Flash-forward a year later and my dad was working for American Building Maintenance as a janitor and I think my mom was flipping burgers at Sambo's. My dad took a few business courses here and there with his GI bennies, and my mom eventually started art school, but her ed. bennies ran out when she was 2 semesters away from graduating. The only good the military did for either of them is that they get insurance from the VA and can be buried for free at Willamette National Cemetery.

I've only known two people who actually managed to use their education benefits from the military, and they were both smart enough to have qualified for other financial aid anyways. /shrug

[Polysorbate80]

Be grateful they met in the military--mine met working at the same Post Office.

I'm thinking I must therefore be genetically programmed to go batshit insane at some point (assuming that I'm not already, of course)

I used mine but they weren't much compared to the scholarships and grants I got for just being me and doing what I do.  Where I went to high-school it was simply accepted that you had to be rich or a 4.0 student or on a athletic scholorship to go to college and so almost no one I went to high school with even considered college as a viable option (this is a whole other topic "the institutional deintellectualization of America").  My stint in the military at least gave me the confidence to go and make it happen.

There were quite a few former military getting thier degrees, At least in engineering where I went to school, just out of my ass maybe as much as 10 to 15% of what finally made it to graduatiion.
