Yes, but, you can't buy a brain, and you can't talk well with your hair and breasts . . . |

Couldn't find any that addressed what I wrote above ... so I decided to write it myself.
Very interesting analysis on this issue.
Much appreciated.

Excellent read. I think I'll print it out and give it to my kids (14 and 12).
as a breather from all the election stuff that is so absorbing you all, here's a thought provoker
(just returning the favor for the thoughts you have provoked; this is not some ping list) ...(and I think this is esp an gen x issue too...)
Thanks, and great! They might like this too:
A very thoughtful and insightful article.
Excellent!
ping
many thanks!
Oddly enough, it sounds very much like the conversation my 16 year old daughter and I had after our church's youth group presentation on sexuality and the teachings of the Church, last Sunday night.
Thanks for the thoughtful posting. Enjoyed reading it.
Very well written !
thank you ... I find the teachings to teens about the Pill to be in general a lot like trying to put out a fire w/ a squirt gun.
The information they are flooded with is so disproportionately one sided.
Thank you ... and I LOVE your freeper name 'Dad was my hero'!
That might be a good idea for someone who's kids are already grown up. Sort of like an adopt-a-liberal program.
I too, being a dad, don't have that much time either. I confess, I don't really want to spend any time with liberals at all .... too often it's the yeeech factor at work. OTOH, I don't think conservatives have much choice. Just being mad at them, building 'good fences', in the end, it isn't going to work for us in the long run as a good strategy. So, 'adopt-a-liberal' program needs to be implemented I think. Great idea. Now we just need a founder of this program to step forward whose kids are grown up...
Freepers, anyone out there available?
Great read
Well, there's an inherent contradiction here.
I've noticed from the picture threads that freepers are actually a pretty randy bunch, if you'll pardon the UK-ism.
If we had a kid every time we had sex, we'd all go broke! That would mean a kid every nine months or so for maybe 5-10 years. Yikes. Five children is not going to work in today's society, more's the pity.
It worked before, when kids were financial assets, being extra hands on the farm. But in today's urban world, where kids have no economic value until they're long out of the nest, it's just not practical. Birth control, love it or hate it, is a modern necessity in our society.
Unless you value celibacy-in-marriage, which I don't see many freepers, male or female, settling for.
