“I doubt that tribal governments are working with drug lords. I am not saying that they should get their land taken away. I admit that I was sloppy in how I stated that. It's true that drug runners could be sneaking onto the land and growing marijuana, but it's also possible that property owners (including non-natives who own a plat on a reservation) could be allowing it. I am just explaining how Congress might decide to interpret the situation and what they might do. The tribal governments are going to have to figure out how they are going to crack down on the problem but if they fail to get a handle on the situation, that could be playing with fire.”

“We took everything from them and now your saying they could loose sovereignty: Twisted beyond words.”

“Apparently they planted it without Indian permission.

Much like they do in state forests. So should we blame Smokey the Bear too, take away his forests?

I didnt read anything in this article that says Indian Reservations were doing this with Mexicans.”

“And just how are they going to get it if you keep them in the crib until they're 18? Just trying to make your hangups and inability to deal with reality THEIR problem, hm? FAIL.”

“That would be:

teenage gang rape: 1
gang rapes committed by adults: infinity

The article said the median age of this show's viewers are 27.

I think our children are more poorly served by the fact that our "education" system assumes that they are morons, and tells them "Don't ever have sex, no matter what." If we elevated the level of the public discourse a little, it would be amazing the things we could achieve.

For an example of what I'm talking about, look at every other country in the "1st world" other than the US.”

“You're wrong. It isn't that they don't remember, it's that they don't want to. At the end of the day, the dirty big secret of condoms is that no man in his right mind would prefer to wear one. One wag once described wearing condoms as eating a sirloin steak with a mouth full of Novocain. And young people are in no way prepared, in the moments of intimacy, to harness that level of control and compromise of pleasure that many an adult is unable to muster. That's the fact. For all the attempts to paint abstinence ed as the problem, one need only look at the facts. Inner cities are ripe with HIV and unplanned pregnancies, and seldom are the ground zeros of abstinence only. Plus countries like England have been promoting condom use for going on two decades, and have some of the highest rates of HIV in the industrialized West. Truth be told, we've been flinging condoms at the problem as if they are the magical end-all for over twenty years. And after tens of millions of deaths and continued outbreaks, and millions more broken lives, we have yet to see the ‘fling condoms and all will be well’ strategy bear fruit.”

“Statistics in ab-only vs. comprehensive se.x ed students show that kids certainly do remember their condoms when condoms and the know-how to use them are easily available. It was the only class I paid attention to in HS, except for driver ed and computer programming.

To quote Peter Gibbons in Office Space, "It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care." Not having sores on your package is important. Homework, not so much.”

“Our culture tells teenagers "This is wrong" rather than explaining the intricacies of the situation, and not surprisingly, the kids ignore that message and anything coming from the same direction. If we elevate the level of discussion in sex education enough, the intelligent children will realize that this is an important issue and they will approach it more maturely.

If you want proof of this argument, look at virtually every other "1st world" country outside of Freedomland.”

“Actually, the majority of high school students DO remember condoms. Do you think all h.s. students these days slack off, are irresponsible, do not use protection, drink and smoke? NO. not all do. there's a lot of responsible kids.”

“lets see
hundreds of millions spent on abstinence only
90% of kids are card carrying, church going Christians
parents teach their kids to just say no
What's the rub?

how's all that working out anyway”

“Kids with baggy jeans can still score pretty high on tests.

...plus their balls don't hurt after.”

“That's out of style now, didn't you know? If you correct them or make them do something you might hurt their libido. Besides, our educational system says, 'Every child's a winner', even the ones that can't write their name.”

“I'll keep just the rich part. Thank you very much.”

“Now wouldn't that justify her love.”

“I'm sure Carrie gets off very well.”

“Her beliefs?? Fake bo..obs and porn?”

“The amount of snow atop Mount Kilimanjaro has depleted drastically in the past ten years.
“In 1990, the snow depth was much thicker than the depth measured in 2002,” he observed.
The expert also warned that if the snow continues to melt at the same rate, Mount Kilimanjaro will not be the same by the next decade. “There will be no beauty again. Our mountain will not look the same,” he declared.

Google next time - or remember your sarcasm tag.”

“PLEASE! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT!”

“Clarification: White Man!”

“I can't see how anyone who is not a bigot could criticize Gavin's move to legitimize gay marriage in 2004. It was a courageous move. I was living in the Richmond at the time and came down to City Hall to see the celebration. It was wonderful.

The criticism just seems like sour grapes from hard core Gonzalez supporters who will search for some ulterior motive in everything Newsom does.”

“I couldn't agree more. The illusion that Newsom is a progressive is totally wack. His campaigns are mostly funded by PG&E which is why he fought against opening up the electricity to competition. He's usually on the conservative side when it comes to immigration, homelessness, funding shelters, etc.”

“SF is 382 miles from LA to be exact. I suppose I am truly uninformed about geography myself, but it feels like those Southern Cal people are a thousand miles away. It's a very different culture down there. I'm not off on the politics, though.”
