While all of you conservative congressmen/women sit in your homes in your gated communities FAR removed from the real world, feel comforted by the fact that your teenage and 20somethings sons and daughters are WAAAY more intelligent than you because they ARE using contraceptive and practicing safe-sex, something the dying breed just can't seem to wrap their tiny little brains around.
There is no such thing as safe-sex, DUmmie, condoms fail. Condoms don't protect skin they don't cover. It slows some venereal diseases down, but not all.
Chemical contraceptives fail, just read the label on any anti-biotic.
The only reason twentysomethings behave like children is because our society allows it. They do things because it feels good and society has deemed that they face no consequences for what is and remains an absurd behavior. Your twentysomethings turn into married thirtysomethings that can't handle responsibility or anything else effectively. Tune in to 16 and pregnant, those are your people.
FarLeftFist, you are seriously screwed up in the head. What do those same 18-35 year olds think after being out in the real world for a few years? What do they think after having children of their own? What do you think they think after a few years of watching money sponged out of their paychecks to support layabouts that are drunk at 9 AM and women who won't stop having kids they can't support? Or better yet, having their money spent all out of proportion on a disease that only affects a small portion of the population, that took risks to catch it in the first place?
I remember an episode where I went to a beach when I was eighteen with a friend that had a shirt that read "Eradicate Virginity", I thought it in poor taste compared to my Big Johnson Tents T-shirt, but whatever. He had a man walk up to him when were on the beach that suggested pointedly that he put that shirt away, get married, have a daughter, wait for her to be a teenager, and then wear that T-shirt. It was the first time I ever saw that guy look downright sheepish. I've never seen that shirt again.
