As American as “Abstinence Only?”
Not for 19 in 20

12/20/06, 12:15 pm EST

Here’s a shocker:

Most Americans have had premarital sex

The AP headline doesn’t really get to the wet-and-wild nub of it: Ninety-Five Percent of Americans, young and old, engage or once engaged in pre-nuptial nookie, according to a longitudinal survey of the sexual behavior of more than 38,000 people.

UPDATE: My sister-in-law, an STD doc for L.A. County, highlights this finding for me:  “I think what’s really interesting about this is that they interviewed folks born in the 1940’s and 1950’s as well. So much for saying that times have changed!  It’s probably that one no longer is frowned upon for disclosing premaritial sex.”

What’s more, three fourths of all Americans give it up to somebody other than their spouse by age 20. All of which suggests that the Bush administration’s $100 million anti-fucking campaigns are worse than fucking futile, they’re fucking anti-American.

This tops off a terrific triumverate of holiday news.

First: Booze is good for you.

Second: Valued at $35 billion, marijuana is America’s top cash crop.

And third: Everybody fucks.

So get out there and enjoy your Christmas parties America.

It’s OK. Everybody’s doing it.

Another startling revelation: the United States has the highest percentage of Christians in the world. Yet we are the least generous, even with Bill Gates, in addition to everything Tim listed. Sadly, our sexual activity and lack of generosity are in defiance of the Bible. Oh! Shit! May god strike them down!

Maybe if our culture were more open with sexual behavior, i.e., less Christian, we could reap the benefits of premarital relations. The divorce rates might even go down, if people would fuck around a little before getting hitched.

I mean we are the most generous.

I’m with Jab. What I really want to know is, who came up with this bullshit concept that being “Christian” requires a total abnegation of sexuality? Ninety-five percent of Americans have pre-marital sex. Are you telling me that all those people are going to Hell for that reason? Bullshit. God wants us to master our sexual urges, not deny them altogether.

Incidentally, I master mine whenever possible.

Any omnipotent being who’d give me an urge and only allow me life after death by denying the urge he gave me isn’t very nice. In fact, I’d say he’s a douche. More likely, however, is that this abstinence bs is only a form of social control. I don’t want to offend anyone by denying the existence of god (who knows?), but did anyone see or hear God speaking to Moses? Seems a lot of faith is being put into a set of questionable commandments. Don’t even get me started on the Bible.

Oh, and I didn’t write that second comment. Must have been my admirer.

The facts are the facts…God does not exist, people are amnimals and have animal instincts, and people tend to do what makes them happy, not what some archaic and outdated books tell them to do, and, finally, all but the tiniest, most minute percentage of Christians are hypocrites.

Am I wrong??

George Carlin said it best, “We’re barely out of the jungle folks . . . we’re semi-civilized beasts with baseball caps and automatic weapons.”

“Bush administration’s $100 million anti-fucking campaigns”

No. That’s not what they solely and distinctly are and you know it. Propaganda.

“Booze is good for you.”

No. Alcohol in small doses dialates capilaries. “Booze” is what gets you hammered. You are trying to make it seem like drinking alcohol does more good than bad. Not true.

“Valued at $35 billion, marijuana is America’s top cash crop.”

Our economy doesn’t benefit from marijuana because it’s illegal and not taxed.

Anything Else?

P.S. I think it’s great that RS, wielding so much power over young people 13-25, is endorsing drinking, smoking weed, and straight up fucking. Our society is becoming a violent whorehouse because of this kind of stuff. If you keep pushing down the walls of decency, this whole shit is going to turn into a pile of rubble. Roman Empire anyone?

C Co,
Wake the fuck up, kid. That “brilliant” campaign is called “the Abstenence Only” program, in which only those “faith based” groups that promoted abstenence as the only method of fighting AIDS and STD’s were funded by GW. If the group wanted to promote condoms, they were stripped of their funding.

You think that because something is illegal that it does not contribute to the economy? You are so blatantly wrong that I’m not going to waste the time trying to explain it to you. Take a fucking economics course when you get to college dude.

Your ol’boy GW has secured our “pile of rubble, Roman Empire” fate long ago. Hopefully someone can repair his numerous fuck-ups. Unless some other over-educated idiot takes his place. You up for it?

The only use for religion today is winning elections….

Ender | 12/21/2006, 6:56 pm EST

C Co, what likely led to the Roman empires fall was a fairly drastic change in climate that led to fewer resources for all, famine, warfare resulting from lack of resources and a general decline in quality of life. If you look at most countries facing a genocide type situation, it can typically be traced back to competition for resources (with other issues deciding whom to go after first). A decline in morals in Roman society likely had no impact either way.

I don’t agree that morals in the west are declining either. We are simply moving beyond a reliance on religious dogma to conduct ourselves.

Propaganda,

“But between the amount of money spent to combat pot, pot-related violence, hospitals time and money, programs to stop drug use, counciling centers, and poverty that is directly and indirectly caused by the drug, America is massively in the hole. Check the numbers. That doesn’t mean that pot is evil, it means it’s not helping the economy. ”

————————- —–

Your conclusion is wrong. All the examples you cite for America “being in the hole” are not the direct or indirect result of pot, they’re the direct result of pot being illegal and/or stigmatized. If you legalize pot you get rid of every single one of these expenses and-by your math-bring America out of the hole. So smoke a joint, maybe you’ll start to think correctly.

“People today are the same as 2000 years ago; it’s society that has changed.”

—————– ————–
This sentance makes no sense. People create their societies; societies reflect the people who live in them. What you’re reacting to is the current openness of sexuality. People have always fucked and they always will fuck because it’s fun and it feels great. The only difference is now we have -gasp- people talking about it on T.V. So what? Stop being such a puritan.

Sex, weed and alchohol have nothing to do with the fall of the roman empire. They will also have nothing to do with the fall of the American empire. All we need is religion for that.

C Co,
You spend WAY too much time arguing over fucking semantics, rather than points of interest.

Roman | 12/24/2006, 2:24 pm EST

I’m smoking a fattie, drinking a beer and getting blown as I write this.

Praise Jesus!

Oh God!

Jack D | 12/27/2006, 11:55 am EST

C Co,
People are going to fuck, period. When GW mandates in his “relief” effort that ANY group found to hand out condoms instead of or even in addition to teaching abstenence, they will be stripped of funding, it is clearly an anti-fucking campaign. Buy a fucking dictionary. Abstenence literally means lack of, or no sex. How the FUCK is that spining propaganda?

C Co... aka I Smell Propaganda | 12/27/2006, 11:51 pm EST

Where did this come from? I stopped talking about that awhile ago. Tim’s term was misleading and wrong. Look at what the program actually does instead of viewing anecdotes. Okay. You do realize that you come off as a prick when you angerly swear for no reason, don’t you? It’s the Christmas season for sakes. Sorry, it’s a winter gathering period; no need to offend anyone.

YOU ALL ARE ARGUING ABOUT STUPID SHIT. THIS ARTICLE IS MORE HUMOROUS THEN SERIOUS I MEAN COME ON, GET A LIFE!

Not So Kool- Aid | 3/12/2007, 8:50 pm EST

Say what you want too… but I don’t think that this article can get any more real.
WELCOME TO AMERICA MOTHER FUCKERS!
