I'm sick of it, Bush Bashing Options

[ComradeRed]

The biggest problem with teen pregnancy is that the government tells you "If you can't afford a kid, we'll pay for you."

Getting rid of the Welfare State would get rid of teen pregnancy. Or at least drive it down to the acceptable rate of 10-15%, where it was at in the 1960s, before welfare drove it up to 35%+.

I suppose they should have thought about that a tad bit more before they got themselves pregnant.

Well they didnt...? The fact is, abortion is legal. So as long as it is, humans will get abortions if they want them. THink of it as a delayed period. Taking birth control pills and using condoms is doing the same thing, you're preventing a life from being formed. So unless you're a hardcore catholic or other practicing religion who doesnt believe in abortions, birth control, or sex before marriage, you are basically contradicting yourself.

I concur.

Why not practice abstinence instead?

[ComradeRed]

Because people have the inalienable right to have consensual sex.

Umm, why would you not want to have sex? And anyway, not everybody is as educated as YOU are and knows about condoms, birth pills, etc.

Im not old enough to vote, but if I could, Id vote for Bush. granted, I really dont support the war in Iraq at all, but at least we know what Bush stands for. Kerry flip flops so damn much I duno what he wants to do anymore. This election is pretty much "who do you dislike the least," and my vote would definitly go to Bush.

You could vote for a third party, or just stay home.

A person has a civic duty to vote for what he believes in. If he doesn't believe in any of the choices, then he, by corollary, has a civic duty NOT to vote.

The State of Nevada recognized this. On their Presidential ballot, you can vote for the option, "None of these candidates".

Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting evil.

Why not practice abstinence instead?

because people, like me, like to f*ck. Of course I use protection and I dont know why people dont, but regardless of whether they did something to protect themselves or not, they still have a right to their own body.

The simple fact is, only maybe 5% (and that's being generous) of the people riding the Hate Bush Bandwagon know why they're along for the trip.

The rest of them are simply cattle who see a television commercial and will automatically base their vote in November accordingly.

That's the sad thing about American politics -- the bandwagon jumpers. It happens on both sides of the candidacy.

I will have to agree with you on that one.
