There's a reason shows like "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" are Things here. The prevalence of southern accents on those shows is also a bit telling. Which isn't to say its restricted to the south, but that belt of low-income red states with abstinence-only "sex ed" doesn't really help.

So this actually made me curious about were my school actually stood. The CDC says that teen pregnancy rates are around 30 per 1000, which is down significantly over 20 years ago when that rate was 60 in 1000. So yeah, we still have a big problem and poo poo heads are attacking and trying to stifle the methods we've used to successfully cut down on the problem, namely comprehensive sex ed and easy access to birth control.

Spoeank posted:Oh trust me, it was in lieu of other services. Among other things, my Health teacher tried to convince us that when he was working his way through college as a janitor (16 hour days combined) that he would eat only a loaf of bread with a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jelly a month. And he wasn't a crazy old man, he was probably 40. What a terrible institution. Even so, the far more typical solution is for the high schools to pressure teenage mothers to drop out.

I dont know posted:Even so, the far more typical solution is for the high schools to pressure teenage mothers to drop out. That was the solution in my (rural, Southern) district in the 90s. But uh, let's be clear here, you're saying "high school" but this happened in "junior high" and "middle school" as well. 6th grade was the first time I had a pregnant classmate never be seen or heard from again.

 This has been posted, right? What the gently caress do the first two panels have to do with the rest of it? Did his computer crash after creating them and he just did something else with the rest?

Fun fact: both of these shows resulted in lowered birthrates among teens: http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/13/health/16-pregnant-teens-childbirth/ So, yeah, sexual education in American public schools is less informative and helpful than a reality TV show that airs on MTV. Make of that what you will.

Yeah, the way Muir structures his sunday strips is weird. I think he's trying to do a thing like Sunday newspaper comics, where the title panel and extra first panel have nothing to do with the rest of the comic. The end result of this is that his sunday strips are weird and disjointed, because they're effectively two separate comics.

I don't speak fluent Muir, but I think the implication is that Holder is such a knee-jerk reactor that he thinks even the animals are spouting racial slurs, which is then followed up by what Muiry Sue and Waifu perceive to be proof that, in fact, the hatred toward Obama is not racism at all. As always, the tl;dr is that Muir is a shithead.

If Obama wasn't wearing a helmet the same people would probably criticize him for setting a bad example for the kids or something along those lines.

Obviously I understand what you are trying to say here and generally it's true but no. You have no idea how hard conservatives hate helmets. I've seen a dad call his 7 year old boy a fag for wearing a helmet. Helmet hatred would probably transcend Obama hatred in that case.
