I don't know about you guys, but I don't remember being taught about the various kinds of birth control when I went through sex ed in the 7th grade. Maybe it's differant in differant places, but for me, it was just "This is what your body is like, this is how sex works, but don't do it untill you're married." Luckily, my mom did tell me about condoms, the various pills and patches, and other forms of birth control. I think if more teenagers were taught about birth control options in schools, less of them would be getting pregnant/getting their girlfriends pregnant.

What do you think? Should schools include birth control in their sex ed curriculum? Why or why not? Would you, as a parent, teach your kid about birth control? How old do you think they should be when you tell them about it?

Technology is a great advance of civilization, but there are some problems like using a cell phone turning it into silent mode and then cheating answers for a test or something like that. Also, the telephone, IMing, cell phone, etc, are all good for emergencies and have good uses but there lots of people who seem like they totally depend on them 24/7. In the past, in mathematics people had to memorize tons of things like the sin of various numbers or something, but people now depend on calculators for everything like adding two numbers, even.

I'm not against any of those things, I'm a cell phone, IM, calculator freak myself, but I try not to depend on them. What I'm trying to say is, has technology made us less smarter than in the past? There are statements that contradict that, but still, I was just thinking of the dangers of technology. What do you think?

cells make up humans, simple elemnts form to make complex chemicals, and so on, so a god must not be our origin but our future. Please tell me if this is right or wrong.

I also found out he traded his soul and the souls of all his progenators to Satan for his bafflingly successful career.
Is all this true or am I already dead and this is Hell?

To start you off: No Electricity Day, where you go a whole day without using electricity. Silence Day (self-explanatory. Actually, so was that first one). Obsolecence Day, where we celebrate outmoded technology - giant phones, record players, the chunky retangular beauty of a videotape...

Don't people realize that it's a troll looking for attention and that when you say you've reported them or that you act shocked, it's EXACTLY what keeps them coming back? They have tons of yahoo ids... Maybe we respond because we're making ourselves feel good by showing the world and ourselves how principled we are? Dunno but ... if the fish don't bite, the fishermen will stop putting in the bait.

Ok, everything aside, why can't we all just not judge anyone because of race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.... and just accept people for who they are??? I will respect ANYONE regardless of their religion, race, color, sexual orientation, etc..., as long as they respect me too. Why can't the whole world be this way, there is no reason for the hate.. I'm just soooo sick of people hating other people. As the old question goes--Why can't we all just get along?? I know people have different views than others, but there is absolutely no good reason for hate!!!

This concerns older men in relationships with younger females. Obviously as an older male I'd like to think there is some truth in it. It goes as follows take your age (for example 50) divide by 2 (25), add 7 (32).
I'm neither trying to depress older women nor fill those younger with horror but if the formula is right can I smile now?

In my opinion, this whole damn world has gone mad. Everyday people find new ways of killing each other and blowing themselves up. The whole world is crazy. How else do you explain the current state of affairs in the world today? Everyone has completly lost it, I don't think it's just me.

That's right, I'm referring to space aliens. The whole running time of Gibson's film "Signs" we are reminded of the hatred Gibson harbors for these beings.

And in the end, he stands by while one is brutally murdered in his own house.

For shame, Mr. Gibson!

nothing but my appreciation.

The real question is, "What's your most treasured material possession, and why?"

Please don't say "my wife" or other people - they're not possessions!

I want to get a glimpse of what it is that people really value.
