I've never understood the hypocrisy of teenage pregnancy. It's either, don't have sex before your married. But you have sex anyway, and get pregnant, and it's "this baby is the worst thing that ever happened to you!!1!1!" And you get cancelled as a punishment. Then these same people complain that there aren't enough babies to ensure population growth. So, which is it??/?

-

Here's your answer: It's all about men controlling women, not about birth rates. Yes, these people say that if you don't have kids, then we begin a "death spiral" and the human population will go extinct. So. why not embrace the out of wedlock mother and child for doing their part in preventing the extinction of humanity. Once again, it's all about who controls who.

-

And take it from me. Part of my family lineage is being a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. We walked the Trail of Tears and fought on the wrong side of the Civil War. Even my own Grandma went to Native Boarding School, where she was abused, and began to develop an addition to alcohol at 14 to help her medicate her way through life. Yes, our Choctaw population collapsed during this period of history. Choctaws were meant to disappear as a people through US Government policies via assimilation like some bad STNG bad Borg episode. Yet, we are still here in 2026, after our own population collapse and the other stuff that we went through as a people.

-

Moral of the story, humanity may experience a population collapse in the near future. Billions may die as a result. But take it from us Choctaws, we are still here, and there will be survivors of the population crash, and a rebound of human population will happen again. And this time around, let's let everyone be equals, and end this need of humans needing to control other humans to feel better about themselves.

Two people dead (as of 55 minutes ago) after shooting in Dearborn, MI Mall.

At 1330 MST the temperature in Phoenix is a balmy 103F.

UV Index: Extreme. -- This means that we should go outside and moon the sun for an hour to prevent getting COVID.

My first marriage, in 1969 came about because my girlfriend got pregnant and it was what was done in my family at that time. Doomed from day one. Teens having babies makes no sense, period

I hate these stupid Nazis.

VaselineHabits's avatar

My parents also married because my mom was pregnant. Out of the 6 years they were married, they only lived together one.

I've always wondered why our bodies mature apparently on schedule, but our ability to survive in the world lags far behind. I guess I mean our brains and what we need to learn.

OT:

Pope Bob will use his visit to the Italian island of Lampedusa to thank the USA for its historic welcoming of immigrants.

And yes, that is a rebuke to Donald Trump.

LOL, sarcastic pope is best pope.

Lampedusa ends in the letters U-S-A.

Yes, he is that good. :)

Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll! Two of which will screw up your life like you won’t believe if you’re not careful. I prefer classical, but hey….

I suspect the next move by the Trump Administration is to allow and push for geriatric-teen marriages.

That would legitimize what Trump did to the kids in the Epstein files.

Tell me when the last ACW widow died.

Strom Lives! Well, maybe not, but still fucks.

Hamilton & The Crew TEAM ALGAE's avatar

Strom hasn't lived since thirty years before he croaked.

Husband and wife or Old man and caregiver? No more need for long term care facilities.

Allow? Are they illegal now?

I don't know how many of us have read "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" by B.F. Skinner, but this kind of scares me. This is a real living cockroach converted into a remote controlled cyborg with a camera and mic. There be monsters coming.

The monster in this case isn't the Beetleborg but Skinner himself. Even the title of the book speaks volumes about that authoritarian bastard's approach to "behavioral conditioning." I hate him and Ivan Lovaas with the fire of a thousand burning suns.

Georgiaburning's avatar

The sci-fi movie would have the cockroach mind take over the AI system. Hilarity ensues.

Belle la BΓͺte f/k/a Girl Guide's avatar

Well, Edgar the bug did kind of have a point about what Earthlings are doing to the insect population. Probably would have joined an eco-liberation movement if Will Smith hadn't smacked him first.

In an episode of South Park, Cartman's Trapper Keeper tried to take over the world. I don't see much of a difference if a cockroach tried it.

Paperclip maximizer problem, except it's Clippy playing the role of the exponentially multiplying broomsticks in the Mickey Mouse cartoon.

I'm with you. Aren't cockroaches and Keith Richards powerful enough already? πŸ˜„

Hamilton & The Crew TEAM ALGAE's avatar

Cockroaches would have gone extinct millions of years ago if not for Keith Richards providing support and guidance.

Menotsure's avatar

If that thing learns to play the guitar, Keith is a goner.

Wow! They are turning bugs into magachuds.

But can they outwit a glue trap?

I saw that in a scene from 'Fifth Element.'

Wait. Let's not be hasty. If it gets big enough could it do laundry ? Make coffee? Bring me a cold beer ?

I’m seeing armies of remote controlled cockroaches taking over the world. And I’m not hating it.

Will they have little red MAGA caps?

Sarah and Bristol Palin.

That's all you need to know about where this all started.

I mean, growing up in SE Manitoba we had better sex-ed classes. This is beyond insulting.

Nancy Naive's avatar

… and no women.

Dave M's avatar

We learned the failure rates of various contraceptives, and they showed us pictures of chancres (the girls went β€œEewww!”). The word β€œorgasm” was never uttered.

Even at age five I was looking over anatomy books in kindergarten. This kind of ignorance is even more deadly and pervasive by way of technology nowadays.
