The step on jesus thing did happen, at a Christian college where the professor was trying to teach them not everything is sacred, it's literally just a piece of paper with Jesus written on it and stepping it won't drat you too hell. They live in a hell if constant insane punishment for minor transgressions though, and a belief that 99% of the world is owned by Satan so it drove some of them very batty.

Hodgepodge posted:I'm going to give BLM some credit here and assume the public stance is meant to push minority and related economic issues onto the agenda in the other debates, and perhaps to push for an additional debate on those topics. More debates and debates on those topics are that things that a Sanders supporter would like to see, remember? A debate on black issues would be great, they had a "black-brown debate " in 2008 that was about black and Hispanic issues. But that isn't what they're demanding. Personally I don't care how many debates they have , Hillary is going to be the nominee, so why waste time and money on something where the stances and policy papers on the issues are already known for some political theatre and meaningless sound bites? At a town hall you might actually get decent answers and interaction with candidates. greatn fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Oct 27, 2015 |

It was made very clear to me that even if used properly, the microbes are so small they slip right between latex molecules.

Um, if you actually want things to change instead of just rushing towards the coronation of Hillary as Queen of Being Not Republican, you have to have actual groups pressuring Hillary and Bernie to talk about the issues in front of a national audience. You are complaining about the solution to your own problem. BLM, Sanders, and even Hillary want a national conversation to some degree, and you honestly sound like you resent having to bother with an election at all.

It was made very clear to me that even if used properly, the microbes are so small they slip right between latex molecules. I know there are flaws here related to the way permeability works, but we all agree that water molecules are a lot smaller than even a tiny virus, right? So grab a condom, put a few drops of food coloring inside, you could add some dish soap if you want to reduce the surface tension of the water. Head to the bathroom, wrap it around the shower head and turn on the water. Try not to spill any water. Once it's stretched to about the size of a whale penis, have a partner check to see if any colored water is leaking through the holes in the latex.

That was all I ever got taught in a classroom setting. I don't remember anything about it other than we got in trouble for making fun of the video afterwards. They had health classes but the teacher (intentionally?) put the sex ed stuff at the end so it was more likely to be cancelled by a snow day. There had to have been at least 6 babies in my graduating class.

Freakazoid_ posted:To be fair, "Talk poo poo, Get Hit" is a policy that reaches across both isles and all age groups. No, it really really doesn't. My best example of this poo poo is when I was a drunk piece of poo poo college kid walking down the street with other drunk piece of poo poo college kids, a cop sees us, says 'hey you guys should get home' and my response, like a drunk piece of poo poo, was to take a step at him and go 'the gently caress did you say' like I was gonna throw down with a guy with a gun who literally was being nice to us and not doing his job and getting on us for being under 21 and drunk in public. The result of that, shockingly, wasn't me losing some teeth, but rather him rolling his eyes and saying 'get the gently caress away' and walking away. It really seems like this kinda poo poo just happens to one specific group of isles!

Seems legit: Carol Young is the co-owner/co-founder and President of the Center for Evidence-Based Programming. She is a long-time successful businesswoman who has owned her own real estate company, and has served as both a member of the Arkansas State Board of Realtors, and President of the Woman's Chamber of Commerce (Hot Springs, AR). She has also served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Miss Arkansas Pageant, Director of the Miss Hot Springs Pageant, and chaperone/traveling companion for Miss Arkansas.

Mr Interweb posted:Even if these cuts aren't as horrible as people may think, it still sends a horrible precedent that a president has in fact offered concessions for a debt ceiling hike. Eh, not really. Back when things weren't as insane, the ceiling frequently got moved as part of larger budget agreements. Attempting to obfuscate the difference between this and hostage taking has been the Republicans main strategy during the last couple debt ceiling rounds. But I think the Dems would take this deal wheather the debt ceiling was involved or not, which makes it completely different than the pure concession extraction that the Rs have been looking for in the last few rounds,. In fact, I'm pretty surprised the Rs think this can pass the house. Hope they have the votes ready to go for a standalone increase if it fails.

I got the "condom is a volleyball net and HIV is a marble" analogy in eighth grade in 1995. Six girls out of a class of 75 had a child by the time we graduated. One was 13 when she got pregnant, I still remember her gym uniform not fitting so well.

Yeah, I feel pretty damned lucky when it comes to Sex Ed. I got incredibly competent sex ed stuff in Health class when I was in middleschool in Texas somehow. It was '98-'99 and I was in Austin, but considering it was Texas I feel pretty damned blessed.

Story time! We were Taught an analogy that the second we loved someone physically outside of marriage we would be empty on the inside. This was demonstrated with a convoluted story about a cup of water combining with another cup lined with something that absorbed or evaporated all the water. It was supposed to wow us into abstinence but I'll it did was make us 8th graders want to know more about how the trick was done. Not even a year later we had knocked up freshman. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Oh and don't forget about the std slideshows... That was about the only biological talks we received, nothing about the physical side other then the aftermath. I swear abstinence inly education is a joke.

Really good that from 2001-2008 schools would only get federal money for sex ed if they used abstinence only. Which is apparently a collection of weird thought experiments instead of physiological information.

For high school sex ed in Ohio, we had an 80 year old (thereabouts) guest speaker come in for one class, wrote the word "Abstinence" on the chalk board, then used a laser pointer to trace a circle around it while repeating "Freedom!"  over and over again.We laughed about it after class, but I can't make this poo poo up.

I actually wish the Dems would refuse any debt ceiling extensions of less than 12 months. Yeah, I know it's a bad idea because it gives a lot of nutjobs a big incentive to pull that trigger/press the big shiny red button, but drat do I wish for that fight to be forced on the GOP and to watch them blink at the 11th hour. The wailing and gnashing of teeth would be glorious.Armyman25 posted:I thought the deal with that was that sheepskin condoms may not protect against HIV, but latex other synthetics would protect against HIV.

I'm terrified of Cruz ending up as the compromise candidate of the GOP that panders to the right fringes while whispering the correct sweet nothings in donors' ears. Plus he's a charismatic guy who at least has some experience in the federal government. I don't have enough faith in the electorate seeing him for the extremist psychopath he is, much like Reagan. At least Ronnie had the decency to be most of what he appeared to be and just be a puppet for the truest monsters. Cruz is a monster wearing a puppet's skin. Actually...  Monster wearing a puppet's skin! That's what he looks like.
