Just resort to insults when you can't debate! How was that an insult? Nobody taught you that humans evolved from monkeys, not here, there or anywhere. It simply is not true. Now, if you want to look at the theory of evolution with some accurate information, it would be an interesting debate. I choose tangible reasoning than to do the whole ostrich head in the sand thing. That's why religion is many times poison. Fear is never a good tool. Need a good, cheap, knowledge expanding present for yourself or a friend? http://www.animaux.net/stern/present.html |

If you REALLY don't believe in evolution, you should make sure and tell your doctor(if you go to doctors, that is) in the event you ever get an infection, that you want him to prescribe nothing but sulfa drugs for you. Sulfa drugs worked just fine for infections when they were developed. They should work just fine now, unless the germs have evolved. Go ahead. Make their day. I don't get antibiotics often, but even so, my doctor has an interesting system. If, for instance, I have a sinus infection and he feels any of 3 drugs will work, he always refers to my records, alternates drugs, and prescribes the one I had in the MOST distant past. His reasoning is precisely what you stated. But, Sheila will tell us that the concept of drug-resistant germs is nothing but junk science. Boy, you guys just don't get it! Of course germs become resistant to drugs, that is a far cry from the whole theory of evolution. Like I said before, you guys hold on to your beliefs and I'll hold on to mine. |

I echo Doug's request: where do you get this crap? Out of your ass? If you have to talk with a potty mouth, then talk to someone else! Crap and ass is potty language? Wow, where do you live? There is far more problems with teen pregnancy than years ago when sex education wasn't in the schools. Yes, the last year or so, teen pregnancy has come down, but it nowhere near the levels when I was young. But of course, you know all the answers! This is my last post to you. Where is the evidence of this? What were the numbers when you were in school and what are the numbers now? As far as I can tell, years back, young women were forced to live in unwed mothers' homes till they gave birth, and they gave the child up for adoption. Those numbers were rarely recorded out if shame because of the religious right and their puritanical mania. All life is precious, no only humans, but everything from humans to single cell life forms. What the religious right try to sell is that somehow human life is more special or important than all other life. In some sense it is the highest form of life, and fortunate to reach this level, but in many cases human life kills more than all other life forms combined with a single footstep or bulldozer. What about those lives? Oh, not important? Mmm. Need a good, cheap, knowledge expanding present for yourself or a friend? http://www.animaux.net/stern/present.html |

If you knew me you would know that I'm honest to a fault. That statement alone is dishonest. Nobody, including me, is honest to a fault. If you were The Dalai Lama or, well, I was going to say The Pope, but I think he's full of crap too...anyway, anyone who says they are honest to a fault is utterly dishonest with themselves.

No. It's evolution at work right before your eyes. No different than the vanishing of certain species like wooly mammoths. |

Yes, the last year or so, teen pregnancy has come down, but it nowhere near the levels when I was young. But of course, you know all the answers! I realize that I'm not going to get a rational answer but I will ask none the less. Please let us know what the teen pregnancy rate was in the time frame of "years ago." In other words, back-up your assertion. Cite some credible sources like the CDC. |

"Sheila" wrote in message ... People need to be responsible for their lives and their decisions. Exactly. That's why people need to know how to use barrier method contraception so when they have sex they won't get pregnant or contract diseases. Since you want to withhold all information about contraceptives, then I think you need to take responsibility for the consequences of their unprotected sex. |

I think that will be hard in this election cycle. I'm sure you are aware that the Bush family values include" Neil - serial adulterer, patron of Asian hookers, victim of sexually transmitted diseases, divorced with children, married his mother's assistant Noelle - narcotics abuser, four car accidents within a few months including a hit-and-run, writes her own prescriptions George P - arrested for breaking into his former girlfriend's house after being jilted Jebby Bush - arrested for having sex in a car parked in a mall parking lot Columba Bush (Jeb's wife) arrested and fined for smuggling goods Bush twins - numerous alcohol related charges Laura Bush - killed her former boyfriend George - at least two DUI offences, cocaine abuser, admitted alcoholic http://www.seoulsearching.com/magazine/bushfamily.html And then there is Kerry: Looks French |

"Janet Baraclough.." wrote in message
... Hmm. When you said Big Brother, I thought you were referring to your interesting government, and suggesting it was further along the dictatorial spectrum than ours. Nah..Tony Bliar can never quite keep up with George Bush, however hard he tries. The sad thing is that Bush has no idea what his babysitters have gotten him involved with. You're talking about a TV show? BB is more like a religion (the kind with orgies, martyrs, ritual violence and human sacrifices) than a TV show. It's a group of people selected for ego and incompatibility, locked together in a house with a communal bedroom, limitless supply of booze, and TV cameras to record their every obscenity. Each week the most obnoxious creep is thrown out (the survivors rapidly becoming more obnoxious) and the last one in gets a pot of money and celebrity status. Advanced civilisation is us. Janet. That's outrageous, but I know people who'd ignore their own kids' choking on food in order to watch a show like that. We have a show I find absurd, although nothing as savage as BB. It's called "Trading Spaces". On each episode, two couples (aka "morons") swap houses or apartments and surprise each other with their lack of remodeling & decorating skills. The results have included such monstrosities as walls covered with headache-inducing purple chenille. These are the type of people who decorate their front lawns with tacky stuffed sheep. |

Since you want to withhold all information about contraceptives, then I think you need to take responsibility for the consequences of their unprotected sex. Not only that, but the Kristians also like to meddle in programs which educate Africans about ways of lowering the risk of contracting AIDS and controlling overpopulation through family planning. Why? Because the programs mention condoms, which they are sure will convince young people that it's OK to have sex before marriage. Better to die of AIDS. |
