You're oppressing my ability to oppress the queers.

I would prefer not to read through the disaster you have posted in this thread today. You essentially tried to prove that mainstream homosexuality will cause more teenage pregnancies.

You're funny.

 

[Youk]

You're funny.

:wink:

You're funny.

I lol'ed.

 

[Youk]

But seriously, that's the direction your terrible argument went.

No it isn't.

Technically, I said mainstreaming sexuality increased HS pregnancies. Get it right.


The other one was.
Mainstreaming/environment does have an influence on kids. You made assumptions from there. You kept trying to turn it into "bad influence". Which I never implied.

Well, you obviously didn't get that one right.

Such as the mainstreaming of sexuality not increasing HS pregnancies?

I originally said mainstreaming sexuality and becoming sexually active at a younger age. The HS pregnancy came up after.

The link has a graph that shows a correlation. I don't know much about how reliable rand is as a source. But I also found a lot of internet articles with surveys/articles showing a huge increase in sexual activity at a younger age during the 70's and 80's. Plateaued in the late 80's and has started to decline since. And though it's declined since, sexual activity and teen pregnancy is still far higher in the US than in almost all industrialized countries.

More and Earlier Sex
Since 1970, nonmarital sexual activity among teenagers has increased sharply. The NSFG
asked women ages 15 to 44 to recall their first premarital sexual experience. About 40%
of the females who were 18 years old in 1970 said that they had had sex by that age. But
56% of the females who were 18 years old in 1980 said they had had sex by that age. For
those who were 18 in 1988, the proportion had risen to 70% (CDC, 1991). Premarital
teenage sex has always been more prevalent among males. According to the NSM, 55%
of males who were 18 years old in 1968–1970 had had sex, compared with 64% in 1977–
1979 and 73% in 1986–1988


As mentioned above, the 1995 NSFG reports a reversal in this trend. According
to the 1995 NSFG, the proportion of 18-year-old females who reported having had sex
fell 10%, to 63% (Abma et al., 1997).
Teen
agers were not only more likely to become sexually active in the 1970s and
1980s, but they were experiencing sex at younger ages. As mentioned above, the
percentage of 18-year-old females who had had sex increased about 75% between 1970
and 1988.

Dolphins play Rams in the last preseason game. I doubt Sam will be around by then
