Missing Sarcasm
"I sometimes think you miss the sarcasm on this board, Steve."
You're going to have to explain that one to me. Sarcasm means harsh irony. Apparently I did miss it.
"My point is that abstinence doesn't work! People have sex. Unfortunately, young people who have no business having sex are doing it, and all the preaching in the world isn't going to stop them. If anything, it will encourage them to try it."
Yep, we're all just base animals, prisoners to our urges and instincts. Give me a break. I don't know if you were aware of this, but humanity has existed for quite a few millennia before artificial contraception came along. Abstinence was the number one method of contraception for around 40,000 years. Not bad for something that doesn't work. I promise you that abstinence works 100% of the time. If you do not have sex, you will not get pregnant. Very efficient. And please, don't try to tell me that preaching abstinence makes people want to have sex. That is patently foolish.
The phenomenon of kids hitting puberty and immediately testing out their new equipment is something that came about even within the span of my lifetime. It is a result of the rise and dominance of liberalism and socialism in our culture. If the youth of our culture are busy exploring one another's genitalia, they can hardly be out revolting against the rising socialist oligarchy, can they? For about the last 1000 years of human history, unfettered sexuality was considered counter to the best interests of a free society. There is no evidence to suggest that attitude was wrong.
"Maybe mandatory is a little strong. Maybe recommended contraception is more appropriate. Highly recommended."
There is an ocean of difference between the two. I'm hoping you will one day viscerally understand that.
