Mum: I told you not to sleep with the boys you stupid #@$*
Girl: But I didn't. Mum I swear I didn't
Mum: Don't lie to me, you are f#$@g pregnant that's what you are
Girl: But I didn't. I didn't do anything wrong
Mum: How the f@#$ did you get pregnant if you didn't sleep with a boy
Girl: But I didn't sleep with him
Mum: What the F#$@
Girl: I swear Mum, I didn't
Mum: How the hell could he f#$% get you pregnant if you didn't sleep with him
Girl: We didn't sleep together. But you didn't say anything about standing

Hmmm - I'd say more sex ed needed.

I agree with both of you. "Just say no" is bad enough. Just saying "I don't know" is ludicrous.

Yes, that’s it! The same person who first said, "I'm seeing someone now" when everyone knew they really meant, "I'm hiking the Appalachians!"

That's who started the idea that it was the same as sleeping!

So saying that you've hiked the Appalachian trail is now a bad thing or a badge of honor in some circles?

Ah, so while news of my state's Governor made headlines nationwide, at least it seems to not have made much impact in Scotland!

But, of course, he doesn't hold a candle to our Lieutenant Governor, who thinks we should not feed poor children because they might breed:

By the same logic, that means we should disallow public-sector financial gain of any kind because it might result in the wrong kind of people running for public office.
