One of the worst arguments is that teaching safe sex will send mix messages confusing teens. Well, abstinence is a nice goal so you call attention to it. However, it is unrealistic to think all will practice it. So we must teach the alternative as well.

In New Jersey an italian guy shows up at your door says "vote democratic or else" and then mumbles something about loving kick backs. Seriously though, I haven't heard of any major laws in NJ. A lot of schools have the day off...of course mine doesn't. On Friday we recieved a voice message from Laura Bush, and today we recieved one from Guliani. I am hoping for a kerry call, but the democrats must be feeling pretty confident that they can hold off the recent republican surge in the polls (Gore won by like 15%, and this year the state is split evenly in a few polls)...God I hope the dem's don't blow this state.

Interesting topic. My school teaches both. I believe that students should be taught safe sex, considering very few of us will take the path of abstinence.

Also, the dirty scum republicans turned away a dozen illegal aliens at the polls in south florida. "Yo quiero kerry" said Jose Perez. God damn those dirty asshole republicans for preventing people from illegally voting. This has been Dan Rather for CBS nightly news, I am now off to cast my 7th vote today, enjoy 60 minutes election night special about the dirt poor 38 year old single mom of 4 who will say anything for $5,000, who is claiming to have been raped by the president.

My state is usually democrat by a solid 15%. Then we had a fraud Governor use his homosexuality as a scapegoat for criminal acts, and now the state is tied in some polls. If I was 4 months older, I would vote for Kerry. I like the democratic party outside of NJ. However, in NJ the dem's run a politcal machine that any other in the country. I think the democrats botched this election by picking kerry. Perhaps the ranks are running thin, but with a good candidate this could have been a landslide election. The only reason they have failed to take a decisive lead is because kerry is so damn stale.

24 out of the last 26 elections: dow up in the last month: incumbent party wins, dow down: incumbent party falls.

I was once looking for hunting pictures and stumbled on pichunter.com, which led me to a place called cliphunter...lets just say I found a lot of game

Then our 12 year olds are getting dumb... It shouldn't take 20 mins to type in boobs and press search. Now when I was 12 it took me 20 mins because the internet was so damn slow

It is and it isn't. A lot of states would be forgotten if they're electoral college votes didn't make a difference. Without the electoral college candidates would be spending a lot of time in big states. Honestly, I don't know what the solution is... I do know however that on Nov. 2nd I will be pulling for Kerry.

Not bad. As long as we keep trying to win, I am content.

I guess its a good idea

I have been friends with my girlfriend since freshman year. I have found out she had an off and on crush on me during that time period. I was obviously completely oblivious Anyway, now...2 months into senior year I am going out with her. So, the whole friends first thing can work. However, it didn't stop me from turning shy and extra nice. I am glad to report however, that I am coming out of this stage and the real rob is coming through.

I just realized Nuke already mentioned this...damn me

60 MINS PLANNED BUSH MISSING EXPLOSIVES STORY FOR ELECTION EVE News of missing explosives in Iraq -- first reported in April 2003 -- was being resurrected for a 60 MINUTES election eve broadcast designed to knock the Bush administration into a crisis mode. Jeff f**er, executive producer of the Sunday edition of 60 MINUTES, said in a statement that "our plan was to run the story on October 31, but it became clear that it wouldn't hold..." Elizabeth Jensen at the LOS ANGELES TIMES details on Tuesday how CBS NEWS and 60 MINUTES lost the story [which repackaged previously reported information on a large cache of explosives missing in Iraq, first published and broadcast in 2003]. The story instead debuted in the NYT. The paper slugged the story about missing explosives from April 2003 as "exclusive." An NBCNEWS crew embedded with troops moved in to secure the Al-Qaqaa weapons facility on April 10, 2003, one day after the liberation of Iraq. According to NBCNEWS, the explosives were already missing when the American troops arrived. [VIDEO CLIP] It is not clear who exactly shopped an election eve repackaging of the missing explosives story. The LA TIMES claims: The source on the story first went to 60 MINUTES but also expressed interest in working with the NY TIMES... "The tip was received last Wednesday." CBSNEWS' plan to unleash the story just 24 hours before election day had one senior Bush official outraged. "Darn, I wanted to see the forged documents to show how this was somehow covered up," the Bush source, who asked not to be named, mocked, recalling last months CBS airing of fraudulent Bush national guard letters. Developing...

Its nothing I do intentionally...It just sort of happens, I think it is because it takes some time to get used to the new dynamics of the relationship.

Are you telling me to think of farts when I am around my girlfriend? You are a crazy son of a b****, but that sounds like it could work

when people tell me they are going to ask someone out I tell them: "Be yourself" I know they won't recognize the importance of what I am saying...I never did until it happened.

I thought it wouldn't happen this time, because I have been friends with the girl for a while, but no...it happened. Word on the street is that she isn't the slightest bit happy about it either 2-3 dates has cleared it up in the past

For me personally, the hardest part is by far being myself. For some reason I change, each time and become less me. I turn grossly nice and I lose personality. I don't know why I do, but I just do. I have found that time and getting more comfortable with the person bring back the old Rob...but this time I am not so sure she has the patience. Any advice on how to be one's self. What is the hardest part of a relationship in your opinion?

"You ain't worth s***" ^^^^apparantly a reader was confused by this. To clear up any confusion, my actual value was 1.7+. The above was merely a joke...thank you and enjoy the game.

Well I know of two east coasters who feel this way, Red&white as well as myself. Red&white is a Red Sox fan and I am a yankee hater. I have been rooting for the Red Sox harder since Red&White was harassed by several posters in the minky thread. I think it is ridiculous to treat a fellow white sox fan that way. Those posters made me feel embarrassed. I was sickened that they forced a fan off the site, and were not punished. Luckily Red&White is back. Aside from spite, I also do not see the wrong in the Red Sox philosophy. They want to treat their fans and they are doing it. It is a business, they could try it the blue jays way and fold like a tent everytime they play the yankees, and only sell 20,000 tix a game. But they don't...more power to them. I despise the yankees because their fans are arrogant and they have won 26 championships. I do not blame them for spending money to win, but dynasties are no fun. As far as red sox fans being dicks...not true. I go to school with a few, I went to four yankee-bosox games this year. I have not encountered a dick red sox fan. Are there a few dick red sox fans...probably, but hey there are even dick white sox fans on this site. They don't stop us from rooting for the white sox.

Stupid homeless guy!

8 bucks?? I payed 10 bucks for the illeterate homeless guy I bought to do my homework and clean the dishes. He drinks, smokes, injects, stalks women, is extremely grotesque, looks at porn constantly, tries to suffocate me in my sleep and has attempted suicide at least a dozen times. I'd hate to see what type of baggage an 8 dollar person comes with.

When I pitched I was only concerned about my pathetic fastball coming back to hit me in the head. My dad joked that I was a decent pitcher because kids weren't use to seeing pitches as slow as mine.

Happy birthday Shingo...and here is to many more b-days on the Sox roster (GONG)
