Well, that goes without saying, doesn't it?
An eighteen year old is legally old enough to choose not to abstain from sex. Do you consider the 18 year old who has sex with a consenting 16 year old to be comparable to an adult manipulating and raping a minor?
I don't. Particularly, when the...
Which is why I believe that there should be reasonable reform to laws around age of consent. I haven't always held such an opinion, but, my mind was swayed when I read a story about an eighteen year old kid who had sex with a minor who lied about her age.
Problem is that not all on the list are guilty of sexual violence.
Big difference between an adult who manipulates or violently rapes/molests a minor and an 18-19 year old who had consenting sex with their 17 year old boyfriend/girlfriend.
It's fair to not want a child predator around minors...
I'm not apt to severely injure my person or die when paying my taxes, am I?
Service that carries the potential for death or harm should be elective or not exist at all. We don't force citizens into firefighting or police services, just to name two. When funding lacks the ability to provide...

I'm good with it. Sex education and reproductive health are important topics that impact us all.

I've discussed with my daughters (14 & 11) on more than one occasion that they need not be judgmental or assumptive of the kids that are from poorer neighborhoods. I've corrected both of my girls on more than one occasion when referring to peers who bully on the bus as being "ghetto".

I drive with precious cargo (kids).

3. I do the speed limit.
4. I drive a little slower than the speed limit.
5. WTF is driving?

I come from a family of nurses, many of whom have worked in a hospital setting and attest to the importance of Advanced Health Care Directives by individuals. I feel that individuals should have the ability to die with dignity on their terms when in a terminal situation to include situations...
Those in the medical profession make a commitment to saving lives, not taking them away. For those suffering from mental health issues, depression and the many extensions thereof - the medical community is obligated to provide care and support.
In terminal situations, I do believe that an...
I don't know if the theory is false or not. I don't fully understand it.
I believe in a spiritual realm that we can't see, but, might be able to sense and tap into. I attribute paranormal activity to this and have often pondered the possibility of spiritual realities that exist in parallel to...
I'm sure lurkers are unimpressed with both of us, considering that our discussion isn't relevant to the OP at all.
If you want to start another thread, I'll attempt to better address your questions.
Tattoo artistry astounds me.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience of getting mine and was worked on by artists that genuinely impressed with their talent and professionalism.
