I said I would do it over, not I wish my wife had. She did not have previous partners.
I am at peace with who I am and need no approval from outside my marriage. I just know it's a burden my wife should not have to bear.

Heck, why stop at condoms? Give them marijuana too. Or booze, or cocaine. Or are ya going to tell me that kids don't do that in high school?
How's that for liberal thinkin'?

Might be a better idea to give kids plenty of options for after school programs so they are less tempted. Not sure about you, but my kids are always going to be busy doing something sports or club related and are never going to have to much spending money.

Dude, we (Kalifornia) have vending machines for that. We don't even need teachers, now.

Sounds like you got it all planned out. Except for one little hitch.
Kids have brains, and with that is free will. We all have plans for our kids when they are small. Some stick to it...hesitantly, but most don't. As long as they are good kids that's what matters.
Kinda jokingly, what if the kids are having safe --- with condoms they get from school to get extra spending money for a new handbag or nice shoes.

Prostitots.

Its ok, because those things are on TV, thus they are a pertinent issue, thus the we must change our values to fit with MTV and Nielsen ratings.

How about getting rid of TV altogether?

I highly doubt the majority of pre-marital --- takes place at 3pm after school. You should set your sights on Friday and Saturday nights, when the clubs and sports aren't in operation. Also, why do they need any spending money? They can get their condoms in homeroom before their econ homework is due.

I can proudly say I don't own even one TV.

Even though it is only 21 at the moment, I am very surprised to see how many people line up with the republican party on these forums. I thought that the number of democrats would be far greater, although some would argue that some/most/all of the independant votes should go to the democrats (historical trends show that). This is what makes America the greatest country on earth, we can disagree with eachother and hold our own opinions. God bless the USA.

This thread was kinda slow taking off, but it seems to have blossomed nicely.

I'm guessing you didn't participate in many high school sports or activities. Most of my practices were from 4:00 till 6:30 and then homework after that. I remember a lot of tournaments and games on friday and saturday nights.

Sometimes my daughter's teacher will refer to a TV program. Then she remembers that we don't have TV and has to use another analogy. My daughter's sensei does the same thing.

My point still stands as valid. Sports and clubs do not go all day long. By the way, I played soccer and swam. I'm guessing you don't realize that football games have an end, as do their practices.

Well they might all have different messages but in the end they are both really the same. Both are controlled by the lobbyists and corporations and don't represent their true constituents, the people. Thankfully, Mit Romney was the worst when it came to lobbyist endorsements/donations and he's no longer in the running. Unfortunately, Edwards who wanted to ban lobbyists from donating monies to federal campaigns is out of the running

I classify an "Independant" voter as not a party, but a swing voter. Although, this could include a independent candidate as a Joe Lieberman (Ind) and the "other" category on this vote thread as a Libertarian Party, Green Party, Socialist Party, etc. Party. Unless I missed what FishyCPA meant by the classifications..

Of course abortion is an issue but abstince is not the answer or a feasible solution.

These life experiences guide us and help us pick what's right for us and what we enjoy to help make sure we pick a like minded partner. On top of that, it's very enjoyable, healthy if done safely, can help build bonds and strenthen relationships and is natural.
Thanks for your take on a moral issue. Especially the part where you call the other side "absurd".
I personally believe people are greater than animals and can make choices regarding ---.
--- can also weaken bonds and destroy relationships. It also can be very unhealthy. Last time I checked condoms were not 100% effective....
This whole post goes back to the basics disagreement between Libs and Conservatives. Conservatives belief people are responsible for their own actions, Libs believe the Fed Gov. needs to do everything, including destroy morality and raising your kids for you.

I think Hillary has quite a few endorsements from quite a few lobbyists

When did the Democrats pay for it? Show me the years a Democratic Congress passed a balanced budget.
