I seriously do not think girls should have to ask for birth control. The truth of the matter is that many people under the age of 18 have sex (trust me I'm in high school) and the mojority DO NOT share this information with their parents, it is an embarressing topic and uncomfortable. Now if girls had to be forced to ask their parents permission for birth control, so they could have sex, we can assume a few things. Most parents would say no, to prevent their child from having sex, in which case most girls would just do it anyway and try more unreliable birth control option. Abother thing I can assume is that any girls would just skip the whole uncomfortable conversation altogether and just not use birth control.

While it is true that we live in an age with ALOT of teenage pregnancies, the numbers would be substancially higher if girls did not even have the options that they do to use vbirth vcontrol in the first place.

No it does not. As a relatively young mind (17) I can say without a doubt that I was able to garner a relatively large vocabulary and an increased reading speed through the use of videogames (Zelda mostly). Perhaps if a child was unable to distinguish between reality and ifction there would be a problem but that fault lies in the parenting not the games themselves. I play everything, quite literally everything, and I don't go around stealing cars, beating hookers, and attempting to move objects with my mind.

Without the theists who would we debate with about the mysteries of our world?

Capital punishment should indeed be legalized. It provides a form of crime deterrant for those who do not fear prison or those already serving a life sentence. think about it, if someone is already serving a life sentence and that is the maximum form of punishment. What is to stop the prisoner from killing other inmates? Solitary? Because that totally makes up for the loss of a human life right -_-

The only rational reponse is that people should be properly punished for thier crimes. It is not revenge, it is justice. I also guarentee you the victims family will sleep more soundly at night knowing that a murderer is gone form this world forever.

That isn't necessarily true. And no, you may not use a blog as a source of information -_-

Agnosticism in the true middle gorund sense is the belief that there is no evidence of the claims of theists or atheists. Neither can prove the other true with clear, rational, irrefutable evidence.

Not enough choices. Nor does it go into possible alternatives or sub-categories of faith.I am agnostic. In this world I can not rationally say that your god/deity doesn't exist. None of us can. there is no evidence of such. Just as you yourself cannot prove to me that your god/deity does exist. I stand on the middle ground and clearly state my view that there is no clear indisputable evidence that supports either claim.

I really hope you do not actually believe that one person could create hundreds of thousands of clones and take over the world. the lconing process is currently imperfect. Hell. It took 277 tries just to create Dolly. Not to mention it is massively expensive to try such a process. Lancelot a dog the was recently cloned cost over $500,000. Human cloning in general can lead to new advancements in medical science and it is just too important that we take steps to further our knowledge of the way the world works for us to be to scared to try.
