Amen to that Drew’s Mom. It is a good thing that he is turning to the Church. There are alot of bad things out there, but he can find strength there. Alot of Churches have been working on their youth programs too. That will help him greatly. – Lorica

May God bless you, Drewsmom, and your son, who I’m guessing is named Drew (I deduced that myself). So nice to see when kids WANT to attend such a school. I have friend who’s son loves the Catholic school he attends.

Just found out last night that since I am gettin a divorce and I’ll be on mini skid row, my son may qualify for a schalorship to a private Christian school, thank the LORD, he wants to go to that school badly and I had to tell him, no way, Mom can’t afford it. Please say a little prayer for me that he gets to attend.
He is going with a big group of Christian kids to Panama City Beach, Fl. over Labor Day and I am so glad he has good influences in his 15 year old life.
Kids now have so many bad influences and bad role models I am just so greatful he is turning towards church.
Have a great week-end everyone. !!!!

ST says:
IOW “Saint Saens”, â€˜historically’ young folk just â€˜can’t help themselves’ and we ought to just accept it and inform them of ways they can â€˜protect’ themselves.

What tripe. You are a fine example of being part of the problem. NOT the solution.

Interesting. I agree with you ST.

So with that mentality, does that mean we should not do anything about drug abuse, since they just cant seem to help themsleves?

What about Pedophiles? Rapists?
They can’t seem to help themselves either.

With the dems way of thinking we should just try and make their “addiction” as clean and safe as possible.

Whats next? Dropping the age of consent to 10?
So statuatory rape doesn’t happen as much? Pedophile statistics are reduced?

Liberalism IS a mental disorder…..

I am beginning to see this increasingly.
Common sense seems to have left the Liberal portion of the Democrat Party…….

You nailed it (pardon the pun) beautifully, ST. The idea that somehow things are so different today that this urge, (”slightly behind breathing and eating”? talk about simplistic!), is beyond one’s ability to overcome is pure crap. Certainly, the sexual ambiance of our society, created, BTW, by moral relativists, doesn’t help. But when parents and teachers and any other adult who really cares about kids keep standards high, as well as expectations for meeting them, kids generally follow suit. In the olden days, pre 1950’s, a guy wouldn’t marry a girl who wasn’t a virgin because promiscuity was contrary to the values of the time. A girl wouldn’t date or marry a guy with a reputation for not respecting women, and trying to jump a chick’s bones was considered disrespectful. Most kids of that era felt the same desires felt by today’s kids, but were stealed by a more virtuous and moral upbringing, as well as the tone to the day. That tone is almost non-existant today, since anti-religious and the “how can it be wrong” crowd were taken seriously. Now, there’s abject denial for accepting blame for the negative effects of their message. Now, too many teen girls would test postive for some kind of STD. They’ll do it anyway? Only because adults have abdicated their roles as moral guides and created an environment that says chastity and self-denial is for chumps. The FDA continues this shameful tradition.

To the CSI bit: “IF” life is in the blood…That’s why we don’t look to Hollywood for the important stuff. Life is in every single cell of our living bodies. You can take all the components that make up a cell or the blood or any other part of the body for that matter, put them together, and it wouldn’t be alive. Life is a state for which explanation is lacking. Up until that 18th day, those cells are living and dividing and trying to get to retirement age. When the blood flows is as subjective a line of demarcation as attachment to the uterine wall. The only line that matters is the wall of the ovum. When it is breached by the sperm, bingo, human being endowed with all the rights we have. Basic biology.

Arguing for Plan B

The approval by the FDA of Plan B is controversial. Many argue that underage girls will be able to access to it (the age limit is 18 but girls who are less than 18 will be required to get medical

Sexual activity is painfully misunderstood by most people. If one wants to conquer a problem, one should at least have a fundamental understanding of it. Historically speaking, humans have engaged in sexual acitivty right around the age of 14, particularly girls; it is not unlikely, for instance, that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was not much more than 14 given the known facts of the culture of Palestine at the time. Jesus himself would not see anything particularly wrong with a 17 year old male having sex with a 14 girl (they’d need to be married of course) — our bias towards this issue is purely cultural.

Once that is understood, and once it is understood that the biological urge for sexuality ranks slightly behind breathing and eating, then a realistic plan can be embraced. Simplistic panceas like “Abstain” not only solve nothing, they make the sweeping — and in today’s day and age, oftentimes fatal –error of ignoring the genetic engine behind the behavior.

Does this mean that we cannot overcome base urges? Of course not. One of the defining characteristics of human beings is the ability to override our instinctual natures. However, this trait is less applicable as one gets younger in age. A 35 year old man will have disciplines a 3 year old child simply will not have. Given the existence of FATAL disease out there, protection for those who succumb to a base urge is a humane method of dealing with the problem, once you come to terms with the moralizing attitude of those who offer the unproductive panceas.

I look at it as going beyond abstinence Robert. Especially in todays world w/all the absolute crap on TV, in movies, and in general walkin’ the halls of our schools and streets in every American city, abstinence is a defensive END game.

Now before you get the whole “In my day” speech, where we lost not a single kid to a drunken car wreck or the fact that out of a senior class of nearly 400, only one became pregnant, my point is simply that it required actions to avoid the hazards and we acted. Long before MADD came along we were responsible kids. We didn’t need to be told, because it was a naturally occurring series of events called clean livin’. That’s not to say that kids didn’t drink and or screw around, some did. The majority in the 90% range didn’t.

If we’re on constant defense (Abstinence) there are too many goal line stands. If we have a game plan and are initiating it, we should be on both sides of the fifty.

I couldn’t agree more. Basically, they condoned the rape of the 11 year old girl. Sickening. They also made it sound as if she was oh so responsible by getting tested for STDs and AIDS so many times.

And Sanity, I remember that CSI episode, too.

Why is it either/or. When I went to PP to get my prescription, I was 16, and the nurse definitely suggested I think about postponing it. She wasn’t preachy about it — if she ahd been it wouldn’t have made a difference anyway, it just would have annoyed me — but she did mention it. So, it’s just BS to say that PP doesn’t even mention abstinence: they do.

The real question is whether they should ONLY mention abstinence, which is what I think you want them to do.

Underage sex, even if consentual …isn’t that statutory rape?

If Planned Parenthood does not report crimes such as statutory rape to the authorities are they not covering up a crime?

If the parents are responsible for their children in all aspects, shouldn’t they be privy to all medical decisions for their underage child that is not able to sign a contract without parental permission?

Lets go on an extreme limb……

If children don’t need parents permission nor even their knowledge of what they are doing to their bodies or what they sign with Planned Parenthood and such when they receiving their “help”….

Then why the big fuss of military recruiters talking to 18 and under without a parent present?

I was watching CSI Las Vegas last night, and though it is a TV show, Grisholm brought up an interesting point on determining life.

He pointed out if the “Life” is in the blood, then life does not “begin” until blood begins to flow, and that doesn’t happen until 18 days after conception. If you don’t want to argue this theologically, then scientifically they will have a hard time refuting this. (not and exact quote, but essentially what he said)

I do not know the validity of his statement but if it is true, it does bring an interesting twist to be argued when dealing with determining life…..
