So in other words you don't believe it, but then again you have nothing to refute it with. O-tay, Bu'wheat.

Yes, I read this yesterday in The Washington Post. It's not the result we were told to expect, so I'm curious now what will happen in school districts. |

I thought the science pointed to increased teenage STDs and pregnancies, but I'm at the library right now studying scarlatti, Schutz, Strozze, Carissimi and other Italian/German Baroque composers. . . The teacher asked "does anyone know who barbara Strozze was? I said "Wasn't she in "Funny Girl?"

I'm pretty sure that the decrease in teen pregnancies for many years, was the availability of contraceptives, even though that idea wasn't real popular with a lot of parents of teenage girls. What's disturbing, is that in the past couple of years, teen pregnancy is on the rise, again. Obviously, something's f'cked up. |

Yeah, I'm curious. If abstinence-only education results in fewer teenagers having sex, that's good. But, there are still some having sex. Are they more likely to get pregnant? Are they more likely to get STDs? Without knowing the pregnancy rates, and the STD rates, of abstinence-only programs vs. sex ed programs, it's hard to make a judgment just on the fact that fewer teenagers are having sex. |

Good point. It's not just the sex, it's the consequences. |

Sex education and handing out condoms came from the same quarter that global warming came from, what would you expect. lb |

No kidding - Americans need to start acting like Europeans and watching sophisticated movies that take away their urges. Let's face it, standing around in a shopping mall all day eating McDonalds - after a while you're just going to boink someone to break the monotony. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |
