Nah, we should just import more people from places that have too many people. Makes way more sense than creating more people overall.
I'm going to the old snip-snip sometime myself, no kids for me.

That's OK, I've taken up most of the slack for you.

There are kids who don't. But as many of you have said, it it because they have been told the truth about it and know the risks and have made an informed decision about such behaviors.
Many kids are smart enough to make the right choice when given all the facts. But I agree that just telling them "Don't do it." is just blowing smoke.
Oh. And I loved the comment made about the two heads and only blood enough to operate one at a time.
SO TRUE

But I totally agree that Bristol Broad is wasting her time with this stupid cause. Does she expect to start some revolution of totally square teens? Good luck with that. And if she feels so strongly about this, does that mean she wishes her own child never happened? I assume so. Overall, I really think that this was all her inept retard of an equally-hot mother's idea. She put her up to it, probably just to start some kind of a base for a political career of her own. Sarah was probably like, "Hey Bristol, why don't you take up a cause? You can choose from either abstinence, second amendment support, or the overall denial of all things scientific. Stray from those subjects, and we will disown you." And what the fuck kind of name is Bristol? And Trigg? Was Sarah hooked on the popular Alaskan hobby of huffing gasoline while she named her kids?

You're right, some don't. It seems most I knew did. If you didn't you weren't "cool" or whatever they call it now.
Preaching abstainance does not prepare them for an encounter with drugs or sex. And absolutely forbidding it makes them want to try it even more.

Thanks!

My parents were young when I came about. 20 years old... I think because of that, I strayed away from the sex and drugs bit, until only recently. I was encouraged to "rebel" by them, and so I did anything but.

Unintentional reverse psychology?
Good for you. It goes that way often, parenting is so tricky. So what drugs have you tried?
I am a turd. Do not emulate me, or Omphalos shall mock you as well.
