  4. Thank you for the correction. I agree that the science is unclear on the EFFECT of global warming. I had understood your previous posts to mean that the science was unclear on the FACT of global warming. IMO global warming via the addition of CO2 is a grand global experiment. I don't really enjoy being an unpaid test subject in this experiment. I think the science is very unequivocal on the fact that change will occur. While change is inevitable, dramatic change is usually catastrophic. I don’t generally look forward to catastrophes. illegible usually
  5. My guess is he eithr didn't really read the whole thing or didn't really understand what it said. I form this opinion as it appears to contridict his earlier position that there is no reason to worry about global warming. illegible usually
  6. Funny and most likely prescient article on the primary use for video iPods: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/10/21/DDGLFFB16K1.DTL illegible usually
  7. From Oregon. http://www.oregonlive.com/newsflash/regional/index.ssf?/base/news-12/1129749241104102.xml&storylist=orlocal There has been a long standing rivalry between these two DZ's (as you would expect from having two DZ's use the same airport) Now it seems a few people want to "clear the air" of all skydiving in Eugene. Good luck Urban! illegible usually
  8. Yep. But at least there would be plenty of work available digging holes to put 'em in illegible usually
  9. Take a breath Dorbie: a) I have no preconcieved notions about you. I can only base my opinions of you on what you write in this forum. If you are ever in the neighborhood, look me up, we can have a beer, or coffee and you can tell me all about your superior morals. b) I could give a rat's ass about how you raise your kids. The point is, unless you lock them in a closet, they will learn about sex from someone. It is your job to teach them what ever you believe. You want to tell them sex B4 mariage is bad? Great. I support you 100% and commend you for it. I wish you the best of luck because every study that I have ever seem indicates that the vast majority of people do, in fact, have pre-maritial sex, despite what their parents told them. I would prefer these relationships NOT result in children unless planned and wanted. c) It is most definately NOT your job (and not even your responsibility) to tell the rest of the people in your city, county, state or country what thier kids should and shoud not know. d) I have absolutely no desire to encourage your kids to have sex. I have no grand social engineering plan and no animosity to christians (or people of any religion) unless they try to impose their own social engineering plan. I simply believe that information should be freely given and that personal choice should be supported. To withhold information is social engineering through censorship. The failure to educate children on sexuality is censorship. You may not fear sex, but you certainly seem to think that teaching kids about sex and birth control will cause harm. Why? illegible usually
  10. I'll tell you why the hell I should care. I care because unwanted babies born to poor parents are statistically not good for society. I care because unwanted and unplanned children don't generally get a fair start. They are more likely to be poor, more likely to be abused, more likely to abuse drugs and more likely to become criminals. Life would be grand indeed if everyone lived up to your christian ideals. The fact is they don't. Are you afraid of facts? You seem to be. Telling your children that if they have sex, they could create children, get diseases and in general ruin their lives is IMO a good thing. Just like telling them that if they walk into traffic they could be hit by a car. I also think it's a good idea to tell them that IF they do decide to have sex, that there are ways to limit their risk is a good and sensible way to save lives and prevent abortions. I also think that it's good to tell kids to cross the street at marked intersections and to wait for the light. No matter what you tell kids, some of them will want to have sex. Deal with it. illegible usually
  11. The real issue here is that these people are not given access to pregnancy prevention in the first place. Schools are prevented from teaching about birth control. States prohibit paying for birth control. Condom use is stigmatized. It's all a result of the christian fear of sex IMO. But that brings up a question. Why are christians so afraid of sex? It's been proven time and time again, sex ed and access to BC works to eliminate poverty. So many of the religious right are apparently uneasy with facts though... illegible usually

  14. Nah, This corner of the net needs a diversion from Bush every now and then. Come to think of it, you know, I totally missed the connection between fat chicks and bush at first but now I really see the humor. illegible usually
  15. I don't agree entirely but I feel strongly that birth control should be 100% subsidized (all types) for folks on any type of govm't assistance. If provided access and information, by for most will take advantage of it and unplanned births will decrease. Right now there are many laws that restrict access to and payment for birth control for poor people. This is just wrong on many levels. BTW: I also like to poke sticks at hornet nests illegible usually
  16. Yeah, no kidding! Here I start a thread about how fat chicks don't get laid as much (I thought that everyone already knew that) and it get's turned all political. Wow. If ya wanna gat political, how about: But Clinton didn't seem to mind fat chicks... illegible usually
  17. Well, Ok. It's PR striving to rid the world of fat chicks. I can deal with that
