BC ain't 100%. I managed to slip one past the goalie while my wife was on it.YellowSnow said:
People have been fucking before marriage for centuries and digging it. But there's a reason why the institution of marriage is a necessary evil for the successful raising of yoots. With how easy and cheap BC is in the 21st century there's no excuse for getting knocked up with a baby you can't take care of.creepycoug said:
Agree, but I think it was both. There was always a morality component about fucking before being married. My wife's family was all over that shit. Of course everyone is full of shit and does shit behind closed doors, but hypocrisy is another thread.SFGbob said:
And now we've entwined race in these issues to the point that we as a society can no longer say what everyone knows is true or at least we used to know they were true. People didn't used to stigmatize out of wedlock births 60 years ago because they were a bunch of prudes who didn't approve of sex outside of marriage. Out of wedlock births were stigmatized because of the burden it placed on the family and society. Religion and morality were just the vehicles used to impose the stigma but they weren't the reason for it.YellowSnow said:
Most of what ails the country would be solved by these steps. But the cycle of inter generational bad decision making seems impossible to break.SFGbob said:
And just look at the consequences when we as a society fail to hold people to these enter level expectations. I'm not talking about passing a law or employing some sort of morals police. I'm just talking about sending a message to everyone who lives here that this is an expectation that we believe everyone should achieve or attempt to achieve.SFGbob said:

1- Don't get pregnant or get someone pregnant in HSRaceBannon said:People can still make it in this country. Not being obsessed over what someone else has is a good start. No substitute for brains and hard work
Bill Gates being worth billions didn't come at my expense. What he developed has made my life easier
We actually did the flooring at his early office. At night. And he was roaming the halls
Most people don't want to work 24/7. I didn't. The rich people I worked for did
There is no socialist or communist system ever that made as many people rich or comfortable middle as America
Simply an indisputable fact

I say we should place a social stigma on not doing these things that's as least as strong as we have on smoking and or using the word "fag" in public. There should be some level of public shame if you don't clear this low bar that's at least equal to what you'd get if you lit up a cigarette in a restaurant. -
When this was an actual concern for me, there was one, not excuse, but reason it happened: birth control pills required parental consent and not everybody wanted to give said consent, still believing that abstinence was the way to go. They also made girls gain weight. I'm being dead serious. A chick in high school caused me a scare because she wasn't taking the pills because she said they made her fat. I almost bit this bullet.YellowSnow said:

Now docs prescribe birth control pills for teenage girls for all kinds of reasons beyond actual birth control (it's a hormone after all), so from stigma standpoint even prudish parents will put their kids on the pill and rationalize it's to help them manage a heavy flow or whatever. When I was growing up in the 80s, parents were loathe to put their daughters on the pill because it was tantamount to giving them the green light to screw. That's changed ... a lot.
And condoms have always been a bit of a kill joy.

Not saying miracles can't happen. Don't twist. But the rate of failure if it's taken correctly (i.e., no missed days) is next to nil.GDS said:

But why did that morality component exist and how did it come into existence? It wasn't always there. Why did Society find the need to create it?creepycoug said:

Said another way, in a developed economy, there is more winning for winners to win. In an undeveloped economy, the better people just eat a little less shit than their inferior counterparts.UW_Doog_Bot said:More Developed Economies have more income inequality.
