Yes, and the pollutants in our air can cause all kinds of diseases, and defects, including cancer.  So how about mandatory gas masks for everybody!  That way the corporations can keep spewing tons and tons of pollution into our world every year and everybody is happy.

I am FAR more frustrated about the lies and ignorance spread around the concept of vaccinating against a deadly cancer that just because it happens to be contracted through sexual intercourse, makes it not needed to be compulsory.Ã, 

You can't contract cancer.  It isn't contagious.

It's not quite as simple as "don't want cervical cancer?Ã,  don't have sex!" because whilst the MAIN way of transmitting HPV might be through sex, it's not the ONLY way.Ã,  Worldwide cervical cancer is the 2nd most prevalent female cancer, in the US it is the 8th most prevalent.Ã,  Why do you think it's very strongly recommended for women to have a pap smear once every five years after the age of 21, whether they are having sex or not?Ã, 

Why does the issue of lifestyle even have to come into it?Ã,  Surely we don't want people to die?Ã,  Particularly when there is a preventative vaccine.Ã,  HPV and cervical cancer can be contracted any number of ways, why does it become an issue -just- because intercourse is one of the main ways it can be contracted?Ã,  What about cases of rape?Ã,  Whoops!Ã,  Those women wanted to stay abstinent, and now they've gone and contracted HPV.Ã,  I'll say it again, would you be against a HIV vaccine?Ã,  But the main way it's spread is through sex right?Ã,  So only those who have sex should have to go and seek it?Ã,  Ã, 

Do you actually agree with ANY forms of vaccination?Ã,  Because it seems by your logic that we shouldn't have any forms of compulsory vaccination at all, because the government is interfering in our lives!Ã, 

I believe the circumcision preventing STD transmission was refuted pretty quickly, actually.

You don't just walk down the street and accidently fall on an infected penis.

But you might walk down the street and get raped.

You can get cancer REGARDLESS of whether or not you have sex. Ã, That's partly what makes the mandatory vaccinations so rediculous. Ã, It's not going to make you immune from cancer. Ã, 

Pap smears? Ã, Keyword: Recommended. Ã, (Not required.)

The rape issue is more complex than that. Ã, You can get ANY STD through rape, not just this one. Ã, Let's say the rapist is carrying syphillis. Ã, What then? Ã, 

We don't want people to die, that's true. Ã, But in the end, it is THEY who must take responsibility for their health. Ã, Hypothetical situation: Ã, Dude eats McDonalds three times a day, gets plugged up and dies. Ã, Do we forbid EVERYBODY from eating fast food because of this?

Yeah, I agree with many vaccinations. Ã, Tetanus, meningitis, ruebella, and many more... Ã, Some are highly contagious, and can infect you through far little than the act of sex. Ã, The risk is higher for innocent bystanders to be infected.

Becky, if you don't want cervical cancer (which I wouldn't want either!!) then you don't you go ahead and get the shot? Ã,  But what about the person who says, "wait a minute, I don't WANT this shot, I'm going to be a nun and never have sex anyway."

Why should we single this one out?  Because they're FORCING females to be vaccinated against something they can only get by having sex.  It's not like a tetanus shot.  You don't just walk down the street and accidently fall on an infected penis.

This is very similar to the statement that the National Institues of Health made a few months ago, encouraging routine infant circumcision to help prevent the spread of STDs. Ã, Right. Ã, So we're supposed to systematically start chopping off the tip of our childrens' penises because they MIGHT decide to be manwhores and sleep with any slut on the street that'll have them. Ã, Away with rationality, let's just assume everybody is an idiot.

This all comes down to one thing: Ã, How far are we going to let our laws go in order to keep us safe? Ã, 

We're punished for not wearing our seatbelts. Ã, What's next? Ã, People keep dying in accidents so we take away all the cars and put everyone on public transportation?

You're getting them anyway:

Of course the parent's rights groups and conservatives are only complaining that this will encourage premarital sex.  Not that they give a crap about the girls wishes.

Check out the above article, and make sure to see the section about Gov. Perry's ties to the maker of this drug.

So what do you think?  Should we start vaccinating kids against STDs regardless of their wishes and lifestyle choices?  (Including abstinence.)

What's next?

Duke Nukem would pwn them ALL.

I've seen it advertised a lot on annoying banner ads. Ã, They always use that provactive Japanese schoolgirl. Ã, 

I use MSN messanger. Ã, However, the title IMVU is clever. Ã, I guess.


Anyway, yeah, I use messanger.


VintageDemon, for a demon you're very impressionable.  Aren't YOU supposed to be the one poking at us, making us do things??

Definately, music should have its own category.

This thread reminds me of Dale from King of the Hill. 

Darn, I was hoping they'd string Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney right up next to him.  (Just kidding.  I'd rather see them in prison for the rest of their lives.)

Anyway, yes, I think that he's going to become a matyr in the eyes of the Iraqis who supported him.  I don't think this is going to help our "cause" in Iraq at all.

Do orcas kill each other of their kind?Ã,  Ã, Do wolves kill those in their immediate circle?Ã,  I think not.Ã,  Dolphins, they live in harmony until meeting groups outside their own.Ã,  Ã, We are animals.Ã,  Try another point of view and I will be happy to disprove it.

Yes, even more innebriated.Ã,  Ã, I am orangatang.Ã, 

Then what causes humans to kill each other off in captivity?

Should we revert to our original ways, and become animals in the wild, killing each other, and taking what we want? 

Helm, what do you believe about our "animal side?" 

Do you believe that we have one, and society blocks us from acting on it? 

Um... yes… pardon my English, my grammar always rusty, but doesn't it mean the same thing? And yes, all Bush jr. said was that the intelligence was wrong. But his own intelligence must be abysmal for him to not have already known that. On second thought, your right, he didn't lie.

No, no, don't get me wrong!  Bush DID lie right out of his ass to get into Iraq.  I just didn't remember him actually admitting it.  If he did, I was gonna ask you for sources and start emailing all my Bush-bot friends.   

Becky, read the thread and check his profile.  He lives in Canada. 

When did Bush actually say he lied?  I only ever heard him say the intelligence turned out to be wrong, but I never heard him say he lied. 

Not calling you a liar, just asking. 

BTW, what will you be running for? 

Welcome! 

Please do post some samples of your work.  As a fellow composer, I'm always interested in hearing what the competition is up to!   

I must agree with lo_res_man, that freedom of speech is BEING discarded. (Don't know about Canada, but definately in America.)

It's in its first stages of being discarded, with people being put on terror watch lists for disagreeing with and protesting the government, photographers and journalists being intimidated and blocked, and, of course, dissenters being called TRAITORS.

Good on you, lo_res_man, if you're running for office.  That is indeed more than most people can say for themselves.

This is getting WAY off topic, but how are things in Canada, politically?  How do you view the way America has been behaving recently?

Seriously, I was held in a cage and beaten with Bibles.Ã, 

The scary part is, I can't tell if that's a joke or the truth.

No, no, no, let's not make this a time travel discussion!  (What is it with AGSers and time travel, anyway?)

I do have to agree with wolfy.  As I said earlier, Christians disregard any science that disproves what they believe, and embrace any science that supports them.

It's because they ONLY want to teach what looks good to them in schools that they're "cockblocking."

Either they want to bar any other science from being taught at all, or they want to "teach" them both, side by side, which, in my view, is inappropriate.
