    Here's a casual observation from a high school teacher. The top three reasons for dropping out of high school as observed by me: 1. Continual failure. 2. Continual behavioral problems/legal problems. 3. Pregnancy. That goes for both genders. I often see boys dropping out to get a job when their girl becomes pregnant.

    Top reason why girls drop out: pregnancy.

    Want to create a person who spends their life either depending on public assistance or going in and out of jail? Make sure they don't finish high school.

    So you can give them a condom today or resign yourself to taking care of them (and the baby the end up having) for the rest of their lives. Your choice.

    Could you tell me, where in the Bible, does it suggest that "preventing conception" is a good idea? I mean, I see that picture of who some think to be "Jesus" in your avatar? I've read the Bible from cover-to-cover, and I just never did see it.

    You have no right to force your beliefs on other people, sock. If people want to prevent conception, that is their right.

    If you have followed many of my comments, much of my focus has been to speak against government trying to somehow restrict how many children we can have.

    Not quite true. Puberty does come at an "early age," by our modern procrastinate-marriage-until-... standards. Sex does not harm the body at a early age, for many teenager's bodies are very much ready for sex. Young ladies hips are wide, they have their breasts, they are obviously very physically ready to bear children.

    This issue is, they need to be getting married first, and people still do tend to marry young, in many developing countries. Some teenagers may actually be ready for family raising responsibilities, especially by age 17 or 19, or if they grew up in a large family, and are already used to helping to care for younger siblings.

    But I agree with your answer, we should not be condoning sexual immorality by handing out condoms. I don't believe in contraceptive use anyway, since it aims to hinder the natural spread of human life.

    Where did I ever say I believe in all that rampant socialism crap?

    The rights protected for individuals, in the Constitution, are true rights, as they are not rights that other people are required to provide for people. The only exception is, the right to a jury trial. True rights, are the rights to be left alone from intrusive government. You do NOT have a right to a job. You have the right to seek a job. The employer does NOT have to hire you. If the employer has to pay too much taxes, well there goes the money he could have chosen to spend, to hire you.

    Parents have the God-given right to enjoy having "all the children God gives." They do NOT have the right, to make me or you, pay for it.

    I believe in individual liberty, and personal responsibility.

    I do NOT believe in the government monopoly in education. Government schools should be sold off. Abolish the income and property taxes, and let parents pay tuition to the school of their own children, or they can home-school or internet-school, if they lack the money or don't want to spend it.

    Free lunches? Why does anybody expect a "free lunch?" The Bible says, if a man will not work, neither should he eat. (Of course you can get a free lunch sometimes. I've went to a few of those. But they say, if you buy whatever it is that they a...

"Here's a shovel and some seeds, and a little homesteading plot of land somewhere. So have at it." I think that approach, might shorten the lines at the "unemployment compensation" office, that subsidizes and prolongs unemployment. And there probably would be some takers still.

    You want young girls to marry and get pregnant. Most marriages end in divorce. The younger the age of the bride and grooms, the likelier they will divorce. So how are these child brides supposed to support these children? They won't be educated in your little scenario. They'll be wedded and bedded as soon as possible.

    So you are insulting most all of our ancestors, who commonly had large families, so that we could come to be born?

    I want more young people to marry and get pregnant, if they want to, if they are ready. You don't want for people to have more good options? You are anti-choice?

    Most marriages didn't used to end in divorce. That largely started, with the advent of "the pill" in 1960. Do some research. Marriages end so much in divorce, in The United Slaves of America, because the people are now stupid and wicked and selfish. Selfishness is the same reason for contraception as for abortion, therefore, contraceptive use relates to promoting abortions.

    Why is it so hard to find decent jobs anymore? It's because of the rampant socialism.

    Why do people rebel so much against God? God says get married, have sex, have babies, grow families. Rather elegant and natural. Man says, we want to rebel, we'll have sex without the benefits of stable marriage, we will burn with lust towards even the same sex, and we refuse the blessings of children. And then we have the gall to wonder why our marriages fall apart, and even our country is now falling apart. Well where's the investment into families, the basic building blocks of our nation?

Yes, I believe in encouraging families everywhere to have "full quivers," for that's clearly what it is talking of, in Psalm 127. Even starting families young. I believe in the natural spread of human life, without the complicated and selfish use of some means of anti-life and often quite unnatural, "birth control."

    And where is it written, that all education stops, just as soon as a person gets married? Parents don't have books and computers?

    No, I am pro-choice. You are anti-choice. The younger a woman marries and has children exponentially takes her options away.

    Marriages fall apart because people marry too young. Or because they grow apart. Or because of abuse. There are a myriad of reasons. Your pig's eye view of the world is far too simplistic. It's not black and white.

    You seem to forget that not everyone is a Christian. And that there is such a thing as separation of church and state. You don't get to decide what is right for everyone else, no more than I do.

    You never did address the other parts of the Bible. The condoning, even encouragement, of rape. Of murder. Of slavery. That's immoral. That Book is filled with immorality.

    So then, why are the pagans trying to force their false religion upon us, and make us pay for all the problems it causes?

    And way should I address your ridiculous claims of the "evil" that the Bible supposedly promotes? You sound like you just want to argue, and are fishing for some excuse to not believe. Perhaps you have a more honest, or specific question? If you are going to raise every irrelevant red herring question, what do you want of me? An entire sermon? Can't you go find those online somewhere, or in a good Church?

    I supposed not everybody has to be a Christian exactly, because much of "the Church" is apostate these days anyway. Christian is a bad word in some parts, for it means to many, Catholic or Sunday-keeper. The Bible says the 7th Day is the Sabbath. And that's what the early Church kept, before Constantine came in and corrupted things, mixing paganism with Christianity. Sun-day is about worshiping the sun god, and the Catholic cathedrals are full of idols. You could join Seventh Day Baptists or Adventists, but then, they don't respect the Jewish customs nor the Jewishness of Yeshua (Jesus) nor the disciples, nor of the Bible. So I would suggest, find a good Messianic fellowship, for they are bridge between the Jews and the Christians.

    How do you claim to be "pro-choice," when that usually seems to mean, anti-life? Dos the baby choose to die?

    Who's making anybody to marry young? How are you supposed to marry young, if you don't know yet who to marry? I was only saying, it's okay for more people to marry younger. That's giving people MORE CHOICES. So who's "pro-choice" now?

    It sounds like you don't know what you are talking about.

    Did I just not talk about the distinctions between Catholic\Sunday-keepers, and Messianics who keep the Sabbath?

    Do you expect me to argue with you, that the Catholic Church is not corrupt, or some counterfeit or perversion? When I already say that the Catholic Church is corrupt? But please do not paint with too much a broad stereotypical brush, and blame all of "Christianity" for abuses Catholic. Early Church leaders, said that the Pope was the Anti-Christ. Forced conversions is NOT the Christian way, but the Muslim way. So does that then imply, that Catholics aren't Christian? Well the Catholic Church at least, isn't Christian. But even "Christian" might be a bad word in some circles, for it implies Catholic or Sunday-keeper. So I no longer call myself a Protestant Christian, but a Messianic ("Messianic Judaism"), as I probably should be more clear how I belief, and Christian is now too vague a word, that could mean almost anything? Messianic means both Christian and Jewish, meaning that some Messianics are Jews, some are Gentiles, but we all believe in things Jewish, and accept Yeshua (Jesus) as the promised Messiah. So we are the bridge between the Christians and the Jews, for we have the best of both worlds. And we k...

    Surely you have heard stories about celibate Catholic priests who abuse boys? But celibacy isn't even biblical. It was invented to keep more money into the Catholic Church, because when priests had heirs, that took much of the money away. It's about power, not morality, nor righteousness. No wonder there was a Protestant reformation, but it didn't go far enough. Protestants are still too much like the Catholics. This is a complicated subject, that I suggest you go read and research about.

    Did you know that many countries in Africa, were keeping Sabbath, until the Sunday-keeping missionaries came?

    Listen to the Seventh Day Adventists, for they might have missed the respecting things Jewish stuff, but they make a good case for defending the Sabbath. According to them, when we bring back mandatory Sunday laws, it will be pretty much the end of the world. A time of great perversion and persecution.

    Why do you make such a broad and unfair accusation? That's what pagans say about pro-lifers, that we care only about getting babies born, but that we don't care about any other charity. Do you not realize how ludicrous that sounds? Have you not ever bothered to carry on an intelligent conversation with a pro-lifer, to see if that's what they really believe?

    I say a lot of this pagan thinking, is the "abortion distortion," in which all of reality just has to bend, to defend abortions and the pagan religion of contraceptive-pushing. Where is the honest investigation, of how things really are?

    The late Dr. James Kennedy, said that had Jesus not been born, you probably wouldn't have been born either. If Christians didn't defend life, don't you suppose there might be a lot less human life on this planet?

    Did you know that long ago, the pagans abandoned their babies that they "didn't want" alongside the road? The early Christians had compassion on the babies, picked them up, and raised them along with their own children. No wonder the early Church grew so much?

    Well I'm no "dumb ass." If so many people are so pro-life, so conservative, maybe you ought to make a little more effort to understand them, and learn something from them. Or maybe you prefer to be a "dumb ass?"

    I'm a natural introvert. If I could do what I am naturally inclined to, I would sit at home and read books and play video games. But I make the effort to read lots of good books and materials, research things on the internet, and do what I can to affect other people and public policy. And to listen and speak my turn, and be a good diplomat for promoting good. For I do NOT like the direction The United Slaves of America is going. And I'm not afraid to be the only contrarian who manages to get an issue right. I like to discuss and debate, so as to polish and test my positions, and make sure I have reasoned them out properly.

    Back when I discovered all this trendy nonsense about "overpopulation," I felt so moved about it, I felt that God was calling me to do something about it. They are trying to take away my rights to have children, and devalue human life. And I have been a pro-life activist every since. And I saw the connection between the anti-life contraceptive mentality and abortion, and so I rejected the contraceptive indoctrination of this wicked age.

    Topic: "Should condoms be dispensed at schools?"

    Should it be surprising that such a topic, might attract a few replies, from people who simply do NOT believe in using nasty, promiscuity-promoting, unnatural condoms? There are still some of us, of faith, left. God keeps a remnant of his faithful, to witness to a wicked world.

    Some many years ago, I checked out a video tape from my Church library, "Contraceptives Between Classes," that was very critical, of this very topic. Our government monopoly schools, are very nearly sex brothels. But then you are so confused by the plummeting social mores, you don't even see that, do you?

    Unfortunately, my school, and most schools in Florida are part of abstinence counties, so there's no sex ed classes or anything because the only "acceptable" answer is abstinence. If I've never made a political statement before THAT is the result of well-to-do, religious Conservatives. I should know. My school/area is mostly that type of political group.

    You make it sound like being a "single parent Mom" is the end of the world.

    I think part of defending proper sexual morality, is in allowing for and welcoming even "unintended" and "outside of wedlock" pregnancies, babies into the world. And trying to do the right thing, even after the fact. If neither of the 2 are married, then they probably should get married.

    Had Sarah Palin promoted some other less moral Sex Ed, perhaps her daughter may have still got "knocked up" and it happen anyway?

    Maybe the problem was, that Sarah was too busy running for political offices, or being governor, to spend enough time being a good mother?

    But I would rather not moralize so much against people bringing babies into the world, even if into "less than ideal" situations. For I think human life is amazing and would like to see human life spread more freely and abundantly. Preferably within marriage, but I also know how things are, and that human reproductive drive, is very powerful, a reason why world population continues to burgeon, supposedly seemingly, almost "out of control."

    I think it's wrong to bash Christians, saying that we condemn anybody who isn't completely abstinent until marriage. We live now in an immoral, and "crowded" and erotic world. It's amazing how many billions we have now become. The baby already happened, and we have to move on, and now try to do the right things. Want to go on having sex? Why not do it right, get married, don't use any "birth control," and welcome human life to spread freely?

    Abstinance until marriage, is not what causes the issue of single moms. No, it's the "anything goes" contraceptive immorality mentality that has increased the number of single moms.

    But whatever happened to chaperoned dates and courting? Better to wait until marriage before sex, because sex puts too much pressure on the relationship before there's enough foundation under it. Do they hurry up and get married, or break up? It's hard to think clearly, when it's too much about the sex.

    But not all conservatives are heart-less. There's still the right thing to do if possible. Upon "getting caught" pregnant, why not go ahead and do the right thing, and get married, and have even more children without sin?

    As much as I dislike the idea of unwanted pregnancy I think that it is essential that schools set a high moral standard to the students under their care and that they do not give the impression that sex does not have consequences or that it can ever be truly ``safe`` even if you use a condom.

    Actually, the age of consent in many places is 16 or 17, and many seniors are 18 anyhow. High schools dispensing them would not be enabling any crime for them.

    Age 16 is even old enough to be married, and I hear that some states still allow marriage as young as 13, and young marriage used to be rather common, and still is, throughout much of the world. But if a young lady is married at age 16, she shouldn't need any condoms either, for a married teen, has every right and expectation to be getting pregnant and having children. So I think some of the conservative prudes, ought to be more careful against moralizing about being visibly pregnant in class. If the young lady is married, then what's the problem? That it might give other students "ideas?" And like those students don't see school teachers and people at Church and friends, having babies too? I suspect the real problem is, we are making education to go on and on, well into the adult childbearing years, and failing to consider that such adults, might also like to go ahead and start their families. If it's okay to be visibly pregnant in college classes, as obviously older people go to college too, why not also allow visible pregnancies in senior and junior high-school classes?

    What does natural law say anyway? Sex is natural, so let babies push out freely?

    In some places, if a couple sleeps and lives together and has babies like married people do, after how many years?, they are assumed to be "common law married."
