OT - Reproduction Ethics
Sorry to start a new thread, I couldn't post this to the original one. I
kept getting an error that Line 3 in the headers was too long. "Meghan Noecker" wrote in message ... Assuming we are talking about pre-marriage, I don't see what the problem is. Why would I want to have sex with somebody who doesn't give a damn about me as a person? We were talking about abstinence being taught in schools. Assuming it is taught early enough, kids wouldn't be giving up sex. They would be waiting to start it. A lot of young women think if a guy has sex with them, that means he cares about them, especially teens with low self-esteen. I was taught almost nothing about sex, except don't do it. Just like drinking and smoking pot, the message was "just say no, or terrible, awful things are going to happen to you". I really don't want to get into all the stupid things I did as a teen/young adult, but let's just say this message did not work on me. I was very, very sheltered for a long time, never exposed to anything. When I did get thrown into the real world, it was a big shock and I didn't know how to handle it. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG |

Not suprpising the two are correlated. -L. |
