My favorite question: Subsidize sluts!

[SonOfLiberty]

I vote for best thread ever.

Yeah that same thought crossed my mind.

At least best thread title, thats for sure

 

[Austin]

Wouldn't that be PORK BARREL spending?

I see what you did thar.

 

[Orgoonian]

Ya gotta pay to play!

When a TV Commercial starts on CNN i have to flip it quick if my young daughter is around so she doesn't hear VIVAAAAAAAA VIAGRA! What the fuck is wrong with CNN and Fox and all the Cialis and Viagra ads? How do you explain your young kids what an Erection is! I am so close to turning CNN off as well. i am clearly just going to watch my late local tv channel news that has some nice family oriented commercials! So yeah, no wonder these 14 year old girls are having more sex then a 25 year old and expect the government to pay for their condoms, pills, and abortions!

Since when do either 14 or 25 year olds even need viagra?

 

[maqsur]

You guys are nuts! I love it!

Slut subsidy...

 

[LEK]

I cannot get over that girl griping about how costs for birth control and HPV vaccines have gone up and wondering what the federal government was going to do about it.

Obviously she was expecting the same liberal answer she's been getting which is that the taxpayers should fund or subsidize it. Is that what this country has become???: That being sexually promiscious is a God given right and that government should pay to make sure that those who practice it avoid the consequences.

You nailed the majority of this generation - bless those kids who do not swallow this thinking. It is part of the dumbing down of America.

Disconnect the TV. I am serious, disconnect it and never watch it again. It will be hard for a little while but then you will realise how wonderful it is not to have the big eye brainwashing, demoralising, and densensitising your family.

I was expecting RP to talk about how dangerous and ineffective that HPV vaccine is. No to mention the dangers of birth control pills.

Hrm, I thought I sensed innuendo in the first two sentences, but the third came up empty.

 

[angelatc]

since when do only promiscious people need birth control?

And the HPV virus causes cancer. Apparently the freedom loving libertarians think that women who have sex deserve to die horrible painful deaths.

Wow.

 

[slamhead]

Let me get this right...we spend a billion dollars...give it to sluts so they can have sex....then we give another billion dollars to prevent them from getting genital warts.....Whats going on here?

 

[RPinUptownChi]

i thought ron's answer was awesome and you could tell the chick's mind was totally blown. it was just great, going to the dollar thing. great answer, obviously the correct one. drop inflation and u can buy ur cheap birth control and vaccines! brilliant! he managed to totally answer the question without saying anything about the fact he is Pro-Life, which was BRILLIANT!

 

[A. Havnes]

Good response, slamhead!

Let's think about this: our youth are being told to wait until marriage to have sex. Yet, they are also being controlled that hormones are completely in charge and sex is the natural thing to do (teenagers can't avoid it), so you can't possibly be responsible for the consequences. And if you have that little control of your behavior, the government should have to pay so that you don't have to deal with the consequences of said behavior.

My mom works at the high school I went to, and she said that the school can arrange to give teenagers abortions without their parents' knowledge! What in the world have we come to?!?!?! What if she starts hemorraging and dies, or something goes wrong? What are you going to tell the parents?

We should be enforcing good morals on teenagers today, and teach them that if they screw up, tough! You'll have to help yourself or get help from your parents or a community program of sorts. You cannot crawl to the government and say, "Subsidize me, Captain!"

 

[RPinUptownChi]

morality is merely codified prejudice. if people who wished to have sex were informed about contraception and it was available the number of societal problems would be reduced enormously. The reason the situation is so ridiculous is because the hardcore pro-life and hardcore abortion people are equally insane and have no chance of ever reaching a pragmatic agreement.

 

[Carole]

Lol.

 

[4RP08inKCMO]

Paul blew the answer - he went on about inflation and the market, but the best answer would have been legalizing importation of pharmaceuticals and the price would drop substantially!

-n

His answer could have been a little clearer, but imagine the bullshit we would have heard if Huckabee had been asked this question. That would have been some funny stuff.

 

[Johncjackson]

While obviously it shouldn't be a function of taxpayers to subsidize birth control, I wouldn't classify anyone who uses birth control as a "slut."

religious dogma aside, probably 99% of the population is sexually active- while many of those are in monogamous relationships and still use birth control for obvious reasons.

There are virgins that even use birth control in some forms and married people in closed faithful relationships.

There are some lawmakers who want to BAN the availability of things such as HPV vaccine because they think it promotes "promiscuity." ( I am assuming people here have a problem with the SUBSIDIZING part, not the actual use). The message this sends is that "we want God to give you cancer as punishment" and that it is better for people to get cancer than prevent cancer at the risk of appearing permissive.

These are the same types of people who support things like the War on Drugs and have no problem if innocent people are murdered in the process. because its more important to send some Message of "morality" than save lives.

Another similar issue is the ONCDP opposition to the heroin overdose antidote and prosecution of needle exchange volunteers.

I completely agree with your observation that not all birth-control users are "sluts."

That being said, in the name of good fun, we can make generalizations about the young lady who asked the question, admittedly unfairly, but maybe she deserves it for insinuating that she expects the government to give her a handout.

I would argue that no one here who truly understands the principle freedom would say HPV vaccines should ever be banned, but we should all agree that the free market should handle this, instead of throwing money at yet another problem.

Wow.

The medical industrial complex is real popular with the democrats.

Approved by the FDA in June, 2006, Gardasil is being aggressively marketed to parents of pre-teen girls as young as nine as a way to “guard” against cervical cancer and genital warts caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) type 6, 11, 16 and 18.

The Merck campaign has been tremendously effective.


By September, Judicial Watch had an additional 1,800 reports of suspected reactions to Gardasil, bringing the adverse report total to 3,461 and 11 deaths.

Yeah, those vaccines that the FDA recommends all pre-adolescents receive are just grreeeaat.
