Fucking assholes, still have one message that never changes
Edited on Sat Sep-15-07 10:08 PM by hyphenate
does it?

Saw a TV ad earlier by a group with the name "For Parents" (evidently) with the addy http://www.4parents.gov. It was of the "Just say no" variety, of course--no sex before marriage.

I don't fucking believe these assholes. Haven't they been trying to peddle this same shit for the past 60 or more years--in fact, forever, if I think about it--and continued to be faced with the reality that saying "no" to sex is never going to be the norm?

I don't believe that everyone will have sex before marriage, but it sure is never going to be the majority that staves off that option. There are too many different reasons why kids have sex when they do, but too many idiots on the right who keep their fucking heads buried in the sand and shortchange their kids as a result.

I can't believe these morons run a major ad on a primetime major channel (albeit USA network) with that as a message. They should donate the ad money they waste to give their kids a better sex education or donate to an unwed mothers' shelter, or even to research for people who stay with abusive spouses or partners. Problem is, they're such dicks that they can't face reality.

ON EDIT:

Link is actually to a /gov addy NOT .org

4. Ah shit
Thanks for noticing that. WRONG link. SORRY about that! (I changed the above link--if you go to the "org" site, it's actually http://www.4parents.gov NOT .org)

3. this is none of their business or anyone else's
what 2 people decide to do with their bodies between each other is nobody else's bloody business.

Why don't they do something useful-perhaps putting their efforts into preventing the deaths of nearly 30,000 kids EVERY DAY in poor countries from malnutrition and disease. Then they could call themselves Christians.

COMPASSIONATE Christians to boot!

7. Oh Give Me A Fucking Break. If You Don't Want To Teach That To Your Kids So What.
But I'll be damned if I can find just cause for you to act all outraged and stuff that there are groups who do want to teach those things to their children. I also don't for the life of me see the harm in their having ran an ad on USA network. This harms you how now? Give me a break. I'm so sick of all the false fucking outrage coming from the left and the right. Everyday, someone else is outraged about something else. One day it's the right outraged about some short skirt on a show and the next day some intolerant lefty is outraged about a group that wants to teach youth to wait until marriage to have sex. Outrage outrage outrage. Blah blah blah.

This is just so goddamn silly already. I can only wonder how much better the world would be if people just stopped getting so fixated and outraged over such petty shit that doesn't change their lives a bit.

8. Yeah, but...
What about people who act all outraged and stuff over other people who act all outraged and stuff about stuff? It's like one of those Matryoshka dolls, but a never ending one.

9. There's A Big Difference Between Expressing It In A Reply And Feeling It To Such A Degree That You
have to post a whole thread on it pal. If you can't discern that difference, then I feel for ya.

Let me spoon feed ya:

Who's more kooky: The guy who jumps up on a huge pedestal in the middle of a large crowd and starts yelling out to the masses "Shut UP! Will you all just shut the hell up! I can't take it anymore!" or just some passerby in the crowd who looks at the weirdo and turns back and says "YOU shut up" and keeps on walkin?

Let it sink it a little bit. Maybe it'll hit ya. :rofl:

10. I feel a little outraged that they are using my tax dollars to promote
Their religious agenda. Then they run off and meet their mistress.

12. Ahhh Shit. See What Happens When You Post With A 102 Fever While Overtired? LOL
Didn't even realize this was a government program (though the .gov should've made it quite obvious. Duh, OMC). I still think the outrage is silly but it does change my perception a little now that it isn't just some well meaning group behind the ad but actually an official government agency. That is a bit silly. I don't mind it though. It's still not a bad message or one that worthy of sparking outrage in my opinion, but not sure the government has a non religious wait till marriage leg to stand on.

15. Normally I would agree
that an OP about a small or medium sized abstention program funded by the so-called "moral majority" would be just so much bullshit, but as you yourself pointed out, it appears to be an effort by our very own "health and human services" department.

This, along with the gag rule, though, does show that the religious right has their dirty filthy hands on my body in such a way to make it nearly impossible to enjoy whatever sexual joys I do have. And all I can think of is Nancy Reagan so long ago with the "just say no (to drugs)" campaign and how effective *that* was. (PS: the "my body" is a collective for any woman who hates to see her privacy rights and choices taken away as a result of authoritative pressure)

All of us remember the picture and event where all WASPs MEN signed the measure for the partial-birth abortion law--it's pretty sad that our current government gets positively orgasmic at signing such a law, especially when there is no woman on the panel. That particular picture (not even the photoshopped version) is so indicative of the mindset out there on women's rights.

14. They're socially inept, utterly repressed people who want no one else having sex
It's their retribution on the world -- same reason so many male freepers hate Hillary. She represents all the women who turned them down.
