I can't help but to think of Marty Feldman as Igor in Young Frankenstein when he dropped the brain he was suppose to grab and in turn grabbed the abnormal brain. When asked whose brain it was after the monster went wacko, he says Abie Normal "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I personally believe that all studies of human sexuality are somewhat flawed as each person is different and studies are not so much broad in scope but, focus on certian groups. This one study focused on inner-city kids. Kids in the country are just as likely (and probally more so) to have adolescent sex as are kids in the city. The same as with suburban kids. The study does, however reveal a little more than what was previously known. The researcher did state; It should be noted that the present findings may not generalize to all young inner-city African American adolescents. Also unclear is whether the present intervention effects would be observed in other populations, for instance, older African American adolescents or suburban white adolescents. All aspects of protecting oneself should be given equal with no greater emphasis on one over the other. Merely telling kids that they will die if they have sex can only do harm in the long run. Telling them that there are ways to protect will do more good. Telling them that waiting is a better option but, not the only option is even better. The syllabus should be well rounded and not weighted heavy on one side or the other. A large number of teens will have sex. It is not new to this generation or any other throughout time. It is just simple fact that it happens. Humans being human. Best to enforce with knowledge than to scare with whitewash. As for the IAC, abstinence is promoted along with condom use. The upheaval lies within the 33% of AIDS funds used to promote abstinence only programs which have proven to be ineffective in Sub-Sahara Africa. You only need to do a little bit of indepth research to find this to be true. Couple abstinence only programs with christian groups promoting abstinence and christianity and it is even more ineffective as the majority of the target population is muslim. Not saying that abstinence only is a 100% failure, only that a new approach is needed and that religion needs to be taken out of the equation.

Not everyone likes pancakes. I have nothing more to say in this thread. Please pass the waffles. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Are you asking "who" or "why"? If, "why", I would think it would be due to having more information to go into the real world with. Kids are curious about life and sex is a big part of life. Better to arm them than to giving them little to work with. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I didn't believe you would be. That gps sniper rifle is actually a hoax and I only included it as what may come, giving the right technology. I would bet it all that somewhere, someone is working on this idea. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I am really sick and tired of you people who cannot research for yourselves. But, here goes. http://www.psych.umn.edu/courses/spring06/borgidae/psy5202/readings/jemmott%201998.pdf http://www.catholic-forum.com/churches/luxver/donumsanctum/sex.htm The findings of the study The study was conducted in Philadelphia using 659 sixth- and seventh-graders at three inner city schools. The youths were divided into three groups: one received sex education concentrating on condom use, another focused on abstinence, the third was a control group who heard information regarding non-sexual diseases. After three months, 12.5 percent of those in the abstinence group said they had sexual relations. 16.6 percent of those in the condom group said they had engaged in sex. At six months, "slightly more of the abstinence-group students were having sex than the condom-group students," according to the article. After one year, 20 percent of the abstinence group reported having sex, compared with 16.5 percent of the condom group. At each checkpoint, between 20 and 23 percent of the control group said they had engaged in sex. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

Why should I, my property, I paid for it. Hell, I'm third Cherokee (and Dutch and English. Does that make me a lazy, stoned snob?) and have respect for my ancestors. But, I have far more respect for the living. Is not the greatest gift one could give the gift of self? If a doctor can save your mother, father, wife, son or daughter with a transplant, would you allow it? Or would you stand back and say "WHOA!, I'm not disrespecting the dead. Let my daughter die!". I believe that you would choose the transplant for your child to live. Be honest, would your child die? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

The general belief in religious groups is that information concerning condoms lead to sex. The general belief in religious groups is that abstinence only programs deter kids from sex. A study was done some years back and the participants were followed up on for a number of years. It showed that the kids who were in the abstinence only program progressed on to having sex faster than those who were in the safe sex education program that discussed condom use and abstinence. Kids need to be informed of all options. Scare tactics do not work with kids. Religious groups need to come down off of their moral high horse. Teenagers have been having sex since the first humans and will do so untill the sun engulfs the earth. It is better to arm them with what will really protect them than it is to try and scare them with some crap about damnation. Religious rhetoric does not work and the numbers that show this to be true do not lie. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Female condoms are already in use. http://www.avert.org/femcond.htm Rereading your comment, I take it that you are aware. I am only posting the link for further information. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

So why have funerals, wakes or memorial services? There's bound to be a dumpster around the corner. I'm with Scoop on respecting the dead. I dare say that there is something wrong with someone who doesn't tread lightly in Arlington Cemetery, or a Civil War battlefield. A large number of battles were fought on the surrounding area of Mount Vernon, Mo., where I live. An old timer up the road has told me that Civil War artifacts can be found fairly easily if you know what to look for (indented ground, roughly the size of a body) as bodies were often buried where they fell. Should I tread lightly on my own land? Though, I wouldn't go dancing through a graveyard, that is not the issue of this thread. The issue is donor parts to save lives. If my heart could give a young person 50 years of life, why would that be disrespectful? Funerals, wakes and memorials are solely for closure for the living. The dead really do not give a damn. How could they? They are dead. They know nothing. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

The fact that there are companies that are persuing this technology is proof that we are sliding even closer to a complete Orwelian scociety. If ever comes a day that the government demands that you be implanted (for your own good and safety, no doubt), would you be willing?

If you remove the SS spending from that table as it is included in reporting for Health and Human Services (don't believe me? check it out by doing a quick search), you get a much smaller number. Likewise, if you add the 50% of NASA spending, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs and all other dept. that actually fall under defense spending, you get a much larger number. Same goes with Human Resources, minus SS. Add in Labor Dept., Housing and Urban Developement and other departments that actually fall under social programs and the defence dept. is still spending more. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I'm going to look into doing this. That is a great idea and, besides, I'm just to damn good looking to incinerate or bury "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

The SS budget is not included in the Federal budget as SS is a trust fund and is raised seperate from income taxes collected. Uncle Sammy only started adding the SS figures back during the Vietnam War. By doing so, it only appears that social spending is larger than DoD spending. In reality, social spending is at or around 30-35% while military is up towards 51% (reported by the CDI, Center for Defense Information) which includes current and past. Note that SS is included in the Human Resources table, which makes social spending of income taxes collected appear larger than it really is. Current Military $727 billion: • Military Personnel $136 billion • Operation & Maint. $249 billion • Procurement $111 billion • Research & Dev. $70 billion • Construction $10 billion • Family Housing $4 billion • DoD misc. $6 billion • Retired Pay $52 billion • DoE nuclear weapons $17 billion • NASA (50%) $9 billion • International Security $10 billion • Homeland Secur. (military) $31 billion • Exec. Office of President $1 billion • other military (non-DoD) $1 billion • plus ... anticipated supplemental war spending requests of $20 billion in addition to $141 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan wars already incorporated into figures above Past Military, $461 billion: • Veterans’ Benefits $85 billion • Interest on national debt $376 billion (80% est. to be created by military spending) Human Resources $748 billion: • Health/Human Services • Soc. Sec. Administration • Education Dept. • Food/Nutrition programs • Housing & Urban Dev. • Labor Dept. • other human resources. General Government $295 billion: • Interest on debt (20%) • Treasury • Government personnel • Justice Dept. • State Dept. • Homeland Security (17%) • International Affairs • NASA (50%) • Judicial • Legislative • other general govt. Physical Resources $116 billion: • Agriculture • Interior • Transportation • Homeland Security (17%) • HUD • Commerce • Energy (non-military) • Environmental Protection • Nat. Science Fdtn. • Army Corps Engineers • Fed. Comm. Commission • other physical resources "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Hell, they could hang my body like a pinata and smack it with sticks for all I care. I did sign up as a donor after death but, with the HIV, my parts are now worthless. I would much rather see a person get some mileage from a liver, heart, lung... than to see that person die because a potential donor organ went into the incinerator or into the dirt. The dead don't care. They don't know anything. Not even that they are dead. Save respect for the living. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

It's not just the Twins. The Orioles threaten to leave Baltimore, unless the tapayers coughed up the cash. The same in St.Louis. The Cardinals used the same tactic. Studies have shown that the return is minimal, if any at all and they continue to drain tax dollars while owners revenues go up.

Someone should clue them in on the recent advancements in propulsion devices. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

And... are comfortable are you with GPS implanting? Do you think that it is only a crappy 007 movie plot, also? If so, think again. It is already being done. Today it is everyones DNA. Tomorrow, it is get in line for a GPS implant. Oh, but then if you are doing nothing wrong, you should be comfortable on a leash. Come on little doggie, come on... sit. Now stand. Okay, now roll over and play dead. AAAAHHHH what an obedient doggie you are. Okay, now sit up and beg. Okay, now back into your kennel! WHAT!!!! you won't go back in.... Bad doggie. YOU WILL DO AS WE SAY!!!! OR, YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE! "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I guess, god must have been on vacation, when Booth sent Abes brain into the hereafter? Or, maybe god was just extremely fucking pissed off at Abe for claiming that he would help the North kill Southerners. Maybe god was just as pissed at the South for doing the same. Maybe god just enjoys a good bloody war? Maybe god gave Booth the strength to pull the trigger? All bullshit. What kind of god would choose sides and give humans the desire to kill each other? Twain had it right when he wrote that piece. He reveals what people really want. You want war? Be prepared to bury your sons and daughters. Be prepared to look at their mangled bodies. Be prepared to care for the children left father and motherless. Be prepared for the drug addicts, the homeless, the shell shocked mentally ill that will be but a shell of who they use to be. Be prepared to care for the unemployable. Be prepared for the hell that follows. If there is a god that chooses sides of his own creation, then that god is evil beyond belief.

I'd be willing to bet that'll be one of the first things they do if they socialize the healthcare system. And, another part of the slope. Note, I'm not for total government control of healthcare but, for the people whom we elect to find a way for insurance companies and government health providers to work hand in hand to lower cost and make it available to everyone. They work for us. We pay them. They need to do their jobs. I do think you are on to something in that if the feds gets our DNA they will use it against us.

There is no Hell. Sure there is. The link I provided take you to Hell, Mi.. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Would you agree that it is just the tip of what will eventually come? Today it's convicted felons (no problem with that) and immigrant detainees (questionable). Eventually, someone will say "Hey, it works with that! Let's expand this and just take everyones DNA." Would people be comfortable with their childs DNA being taken at birth and put into the FBI's database. Some may but, I suspect most wouldn't. I refuse to pee in a bottle, I'd be damned if I'm going to give the Feds my DNA. And on a broader scope, how long will it be when insurance companies demand DNA screening for health insurance applicants? Invasion of our bodies is a horrendous act. It is a slippery slope that leads to total control of the individual. I'd rather be dead and cold than to give complete control of myself to any government.

They would just be trading one rape squad for one currently on the ground. Agree 100%. It seems that wherever U.N. forces go, prostitution and rape follows. You only need to do a quick search on the U.N. troops to see what crimes that they have committed. I really feel for those in Darfur but, sadly it will continue no matter who goes and try to help.
