Other - Society & Culture - 30 December 2006

I watch a lot of TV and I see lots of American TV shows that go on about no sex before marriage and purity...

I know that many "family oriented" TV shows like to stick in a moral, but this one seems to be constantly being thrown about...

So why??? What is with the downer on no sex before marriage??? Can't JUST be because of STD's, cos it is easy to avoid them... Can't be JUST be because of unwanted pregnancies, cos with plenty of education, that can be avoided...

Is it because the education of kids by family and the education system is woefully inadequate??? Or because the "Moral Majority" stygmatises anyone who is interested in sex but not marriage???

"If you have never seriously thought about murder, you have never been in love."

What do you think of this statement?

If anyone wants to talk to me let me know.

I'll probably get kicked off for doing this but it was worth a try even if I just get called a saddo!

After Saddam's death 10+ American soldiers where shot to death and 30+ shia's where murdered. If you could spare Saddam's life for one American soldier to see New Years would you? Saddam or not People are still dying and the government is still corrupt and worse then ever. So was it really worth it? feel free to answer my other questions as well.

"thanks for the points"
Let me explain something fatties. I do not care if you get 2 points, if your little lives are so sad that you care about 2 points, that is your business, why do you feel the need to tell me? I really dont care in the least.
If you really are so pathetic to care about such trivial things I shall award you 10 points, then you really can have an orrrgasm.

Look at this, Saddam maybe a murder, but when you KNOW for sure your time of death you have time to repent. Even if your Christian, catholic or Jew. We all believe that God is merciful, probably more then we will ever imagine. If Saddam had time to ask for forgiveness, and the last thing he did before he died is prayer. There is a very good possibility that he died with no sins. He repented. To be honest with you I rather die KNOWING when I will die and preparing for it then die an old lady not knowing will her soul will be taken. Right????

if it were put to a popular referendum, what percentage of the voting age population do you think would vote to lower the drinking age from 21 to 18?

- i asked this question in the "politics" category, and all i got were d*ckhead responses. i was hoping that by posting in society & culture i'd get more sane replies.

I had dream the night before saddam was suposed to die. It went like this: The whole world went into complete anarchey since they were so happy that he was dead. But I saw nazi's killing people violently,tormenting teenagers,and cometing sucide. The city building were on fire,tumbled down buildings every where, the air looked as if it was poisned green with chemical gases, and huge dark yellow clouds layed in the distance.

Morbid as it may be, I'm in a dead pool, and am tasked with predicting which famous/semi-famous people will bite the bullet in '07. Does anyone know of any famous people that are likely to go, and why?

Should the government legalize prostitution? I have an idea I wanted to bring up. If you think they should legalize it, should they also regulate it? I was thinking that what they should do is legalize it, regulate it, and use the welfare recipiants as the prostitutes. If they did this, then it would generate money for our government, people would get what they wanted, women would get welfare that they actually earned. I know they would have to work some things out like safety type issues and all. But generally don't you think this would be a good idea?? It's just a suggestion, if you don't think its a good idea, just say so, no need to get abusive. Thank You!
