It's all about the terminology

The Feds push the abstinence message to the older folk. Great. Now, instead of having to 'fess up to the driest dry spell this side of the Sahara, I can claim I'm being a good citizen...? How about we work on taking away some of the stigma surrounding sex and educating the public about what diseases are out there?

No? Too hard? Bastids.

What the fuck. I'm a consenting adult, get the fuck out of my bedroom, King George.

Time to fucking emigrate.

I'm not sure if I should be:
* amused that they're trying so hard and/or think this'll accomplish anything
* pissed that they want to tell me what to do in the sack (see also: it's my body, I'll do what I want) and what's next, C. Everett Koop telling us you never go ass-to-mouth?

STD's?

Is that a snappy little STD reference in your userpic? "OH SNAP sneak attack"?

How much longer til Dubya and his cartel get tossed out on their collective asses?

But if we tell people about sex, they'll get all horny and go have it. Before they're married! And then all the girls will get pregnant, and have abortions, which are immoral and wrong. And then God will lift his protective veil from the U.S. and allow The Terrorists to attack us again. Is that what you want, America-hater?

What's so horrible about children being born out of wedlock, anyway? I just hate how the followers one religion get to dictate their moralities to the rest of us in this fucked-up country.

Now I'm inspired to go out and be as promiscuous as possible (with protection, of course) just so I can be a bad citizen to show that simply being promiscuous doesn't lead to ruin...

Great to see our hard earned tax dollars are going towards something productive.

Oh, and I was being sarcastic. It's hard to tell sometimes with me. :P

Fine, fine, now I'll go abstinent. ...Riiiiiiiight.

Like the article said, total detachment from reality.
