If you are too scared to see a doctor about getting birth control pills, you probably aren’t ready to use birth control pills, or have sex for that matter.

I know I’m young but i think i’ve gained alot of experience already. I’ve always been responsible with money and my jobs. I’ve had my, excuse my language, sh*tty slutty phase and that was too much experience. I’ve had a miscarriage so i know what it is like to be pregnant. I’ve had religious experience. I’ve also had plenty of experience with kids. I’ve also been in serious relationships and learned the good from the bad. I’ve learned the way the mind works (believe it or not psychology is the most important part of being around children). I dont know if i’m just insane but its just a feeling in the pit of my stomach.[/quote]

You don’t know what you don’t know. In my opinion your kids would be better off with having a more mature mother as a parent. You may be more mature than most 18 yr folk I’ll grant you that, but that’s not enough. At the very least, live on your own, apart from your parents, for 5 years or so! Get some post secondary education under your belt!

Sometimes part of the learning is less about the material and more about fighting through something that is a struggle; to prove to yourself that you can do it.

Its easy to do the work and spend the time on subjects and professors that inspire you, but its also nice to know that when push comes to shove, you were able to knock out the work in cold blood. Good grade, bad grade, it doesn’t really matter when it comes to something like this.

Do you think you could be the very best possible parent you could be at 18 years of age, or would your children benefit from you gaining a little life experience first?

You know, you could approach them…

your computer has a calculator.

Bloody vampires. At least they don’t eat food, and might be an answer to a massive over population problem….

It means that their socks are frozen to their feet, and they require assistance.

[quote courtybubble]no no no, dont ever think evolution has stalled. that would mean certain death for our species.[/quote]

No, not stalled at all, we’re just evolving more consistently on a social scale.

[quote Good ole boy]I believe in survival of the fittest. Those who are capable and best fitted to survive on the land will not be first to perish.[/quote]

Disagree. We’ve transcended the physiological dictates of evolution, we can certainly transcend geographic ones.

Poverty and famine are inetricably linked. Very few if any wealthy people go hungry for any length of time. So unless we plan to redistribute wealth on a global scale and in a systemic manner that goes beyond simple charitable impulse, it will remain as it is.

Social Capitalism is the only future to strive for on a global scale.

People think that poverty-stricken parts of the world exist because of exploitative fat cat bankers somewhere. Its just not true. It’s actually a lack of a stable banking structure that keeps poor people poor. If a poor person wants a loan, they have to access a loan shark or criminal element in that area who charges massive amounts of grinding interest. Wealthy folks still exist there, but many are landowners with little initiative to risk their resources. A stable bank with a fair rate of interest will serve to shift resources from the idle rich to the industrious poor, and stimulate growth in all areas, not just economic.

Microcredit experiments like the Grameen Bank in Bangldesh have wonderful potential.

A snippet of the best drinking song ever written. Can’t find a version on youtube though:

I’D RATHER HAVE A BOTTLE IN FRONT OF ME
(Randy Hanzlick)

Jimmy and I were brothers.
We went down different paths.
Jimmy always listened to my mother,
And me, I never like to take a bath.

As we grew and tumbled through adulthood
The pressure caused emotional drain.
So now I’m slowly dying in the bottle
and Jimmy has to live with half a brain.

Yes, me, I’ve got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain the same.

But I’d rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I’m not insane.

The heart wants what it wants, and has a long memory.

I think it’s a little of both to be honest. Science is defined by how replicable the process is from one person to the next. EG if you do this and this, then this is the result. The “you” in that equation can be anyone, as long as the process is sound. The same can be said for performance evaluations, but there is still a subjective bias to the appraisal that is unique to the person conducting it and will have a huge impact not only on what is written, but with how it is presented to the employee, which has nothing to do with process.

[quote Commander Ikari]What does this have to do with wisdom teeth removal?[/quote]

Sex and wisdom teeth? The wisdom teeth are the seat of your libido. The truth is that viagra is really just pulled wisdom teeth ground to powder.

And with you losing yours, Commander, the only holes you’ll be sticking your tongue into are in your own mouth….
