    Who needs sport, art, music or frivolity? What are you a machine? I find the enormous stick up your ass about sports to be quite amusing, too many wedgies? I would happily agrre that the "football" programs are insane, but the rest of your post is equally mad.

    You seem rather confused, if death isn't sufficient disincentive to avoid sex why would pregnancy be? I'd be curious to know where your "'hood" is, unless it's in sub-saharan Africa your claim seems quite unlikely. When it comes to babbling about right and wrong, you seem to indulge in it yourself, with your implicit assumption that there is something wrong with "responsibility free sex", something that has existed for as long as sex itself.
