Im as strange as freshly cut grass

Ridg3 08-20-2011 01:44 PM

Irritating as well.

STM 08-20-2011 05:00 PM

Freshly cut grass irritates my skin to no fucking end so there's a correlation right there.

Strike Witch 08-20-2011 05:41 PM

Clearly, we should just get rid of men.

Like that species of lizards that get pregnant just by dry-humping.

Well they (NASA) want to put a colony on Mars by 2050 but it's a one way trip.

Not any more. That was George W. Bush's goal, but it was thrown out by the current administration.


I recently met a guy who had previously worked for NASA and he suggested that that was Bush's plan all along. He said that if they simply shut down NASA, there'd be a public outcry, but if you give them an impossible task and allocate all the resources of the organisation specifically to that task, it will be easier to take those resources away once everyone realises it was a mistake.

Why work towards becoming a spacefaring race and exploring the universe when that money can be spent on flinging crap at each other like apes? (missiles, etc)

'cause killing each other is more important than securing our future as a species. Don'tcha just love human nature?

Indeed, also on the subject of teenage pregnancy it wasn't much of an issue at the school I went to although I did go to a private one.

Perhaps teenage pregnancies could be curbed by encouraging parents to actually talk to their teens about that stuff, removing child payments from the government and making contraception/abortions cheaper?

My parents just told me I was born from my Mum's stomach...it's not a lie either, I was a caesarian child.

It's not a lie that you were conceived in the stomach? How you, or the sperm for that matter, survived the hydrochloric acid is beyond me.

STM 08-20-2011 11:35 PM

Well you see it really does explain my physical appearance. But I guess the uterus or wherever it is babies are made is pretty near the stomach I mean in the tummy.

We learned at an early age about pregnancy at school. Sex education was pretty thorough. They had animations with these colored people who showed how periods went and stuff.

Sex ed did put me off dick for a long while though(They used these really horrible icky photos of bushy wrinkly dicks in bad quality).... It made them look very bad and I remember thinking: Im never putting one of those things inside of me.

So yea. Sex ed nearly turned me lesbo :D

Anyway i do feel that girls are getting a bit too excited over babies ._. ... Or at least it seems that way now that they are more prominent on TV and stuff.

And I suppose thats a downwards spiral cos things that gain publicity(whether good or bad) tend to make more people aware of it and thus follow the trend.

It was the same discussion here in denmark too about cutting. People were debating whether more people started cutting cos of them hearing about it or some other reasons.

In the end, early pregnancy is bad IMO, cos it sometimes means the girls drop out of school, and no education leads to problems :(

I remember watching a video tape for my sex ed...

Yeah, the guys and girls in it are awful, big bush here, gross naked person there...

Ridg3 08-21-2011 07:56 AM

Well, they kinda do have to have some realistic features on it for Sex ed. It isn't as if they're going to show you a gorgeous blond with a nicely trimmed/shaved vagina and and hunky, ripped man with a huge ass penis.

They need to show you what it's really like, how disgusting sex actually is and how horrible and ugly real life pee-pee parts are.

Speak for yourself.

When I was in fourth year in secondary school, the year below me were shown a sex ed video.

I was jealous, I wanted to see sex.

STM 08-21-2011 11:49 AM

I was ill the day we got shown a video but everyone said it was nasty.

Laser 08-21-2011 11:53 AM

We were shown sex education twice in our school life. Aged 11 and 12. Now I know of 10 girls who are pregnant all before their 18th birthday and 3 before their 19th.

GREAT SCHOOLING RIGHT THERE!

Now I'm not against teen pregnancey in theory. But seeing some extremely talented people get preggers and waste their education and be forced to possibly never fulfil their potential to the utmost. It just makes me sad.

JennyGenesis 08-21-2011 03:14 PM

Why are you not against teen pregnancy?

I think it's far too young to be having a child.

Wings of Fire 08-21-2011 05:26 PM

How do you be against teen pregnancy?

Sekto Springs 08-21-2011 07:36 PM

Hand out condoms to every teenager you meet at your own expense, regardless of how well you know them.

Dixanadu 08-22-2011 03:34 AM

Even if their odds of even getting laid are second to none?

I'm not against teen pregnancey in theory because I know of several teenage mums who have florished after having a child and actually not be on benefits They have their own flat, the fathers stick by their child and seem to generally seem to have a healthy family life.

Age has nothing to do with it, maturity (and I guess a bit of luck) does.

That's what happens where I live

I'm not joking either!

Laser 08-22-2011 05:52 AM

Sounds like those cities where the local clergy hand out water bottles and 'slippers' to drunk girls so they don't fall over from staggering about in high-heels.

Wings of Fire 08-22-2011 07:56 AM

No really.

How can you be against teen pregnancy? I know how you can think it's a bad idea, but how do you be against it?

Bullet Magnet 08-22-2011 12:30 PM

I'm against Malaria.

If they aont have any experience, or didnt wear a condom, im against it too. Too many stupid teens around getting knocked up and... Well thats pretty much it.

Nepsotic 08-23-2011 10:30 PM

I'm against people farting in really small places. (whoever it was just own up now)

STM 08-24-2011 01:20 AM

I like farting in really small places, it's who I am and it keeps people away from me. Fuck off.

I only like that if it is me doing the buisness, for some reason I'm only bothered by the smell of other peoples farts.

Goodness me what on earth did I just say...

This isn't the Room 102 or the Things That Piss Us Off threads. Keep to the topic, people.

You misunderstood my point. Since I stated it pretty fucking clearly I won't be repeating it.

Nepsotic 08-24-2011 05:59 AM

Then i'll just go back and read it... I don't get it.

I like your attitude.

This doesn't seem his normal attitude... Its fake, as fake as katie price's tits

STM 08-24-2011 12:48 PM

Fuck off. you don't know me! You haven't seen what I've seen maaan.

Your personality on this forum seems to be so erratic lately. I don't get it.

STM 08-24-2011 01:01 PM

I'm not erratic. I have emotional bounces, also I get my GCSE results tomorrow so I'm edgy. Fuck off.
