If you're actually STRAIGHT- that is, only using sex for procreation and unification, as opposed to perverted sex used only for pleasure- then why? That's the wrong way to make a baby. It simply doesn't work.
You don't have a society- you have a barely controlled barbaric tribe. It takes morality and civilization to have a society, and that's something the "non-prudes" are sorely lacking in.
Somewhat OK, but Scudder's closer to Romney than to Santorum. At worst, if we get a theocracy out of Santorum, it will mainly consist of reviving the Nun's Loophole in tax law, which will result in a building spree of orphanages and hospitals; along with defunding Planned Parenthood. Catholicism doesn't accept private revelation for public teaching, declaring oneself as "First Prophet" would be so much more a Mormon thing. Catholics also require somebody to be *dead* before being revered as a Saint.
Or the user could use Google Safe Search, which removes the NSFW sites to begin with. Then again, when searching for information on politicians, I prefer WIKI anyway, it's usually more objective.
Hmm..and in keeping with it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between a feature and a bug, one could also say that the number of lines of code is proportional to the number of features.
Or, for that matter, the other way around. The guy who finds the five year old memory bug is a genius, while the guy who is refactoring all the code to make it more maintainable and save developer hours in the future is now an ineffective dweeb.
I still do honor to my great grandparents, even though I never knew personally any of my four great grandfathers. Yes, beyond that is largely lost to the mists of time- in that unlike that generation I don't know where their graves are- but their genetic code still runs through my veins, and it is my duty to pass their traditions down to my children.
There certainly is that. I find my father quite tolerable, in a sleepy sort of way (can't remember many times he was awake for anything I did- he's had narcolepsy for 30 years). Then again, he did teach me the art of the daddy nap, which my son still enjoys at age 8.
Well, it's also to keep the Oxytocin high going to keep husband and wife together, but then again, a chocolate cake a week baked for each other will do that just as well.
Completely off the previous topic, but I believe the Rev Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church is an excellent example of a sociopath with moral obligations.
I wanted kids because early on I found out the secret to being immortal. Men who don't know this secret, or don't care about being immortal or remembered, don't want kids.
I guarantee it. Married sex is for having kids. When you have enough kids, birth control isn't even necessary anymore, because your energy level from taking care of the kids is so low the rest goes by the wayside.
I hear it picks up again when the woman is no longer fertile, and the kids have finished college, I've got 20 years to go there.
It isn't just Catholic hospitals. It's the Catholic businessman, who takes no federal dollars, but who has more than 50 employees and is required by the federal government to provide health insurance for those employees. It is the Baptist soup kitchen that has employees, and must also pay. It is the Orthodox Russian Catholic School, who employees schoolteachers, that must also pay.
Under the new mandate- ALL insurance programs have to cover this. The only exception is for "Houses of worship"- so narrowly defined that while we may not have to pay contraception for the priest, we do for his secretary in the office.
It's actually late 19th/early 20th century thinking, for those who actually have a half a clue and have read their Chesterton.
The argument goes something like this: A society that separates sex from procreation, gets used to having enjoyment and fun on credit, without paying for it. That society will soon encourage abortions because of the failure rate of the contraception, but that's not the least of the worries. That society will also start demanding goods on credit, trade on credit, life itself on credit. It will eventually go bankrupt, because nobody has the willpower left to leave enjoyment to tomorrow, to work first then enjoy the fruits of one's labor.
Until, of course, the INEVITABLE hostile takeover that will wrest all control away from him. Once a company goes public, it's over. Heck, even if the hostile takeover doesn't happen- his 28% of the shares by value means his personal focus will switch from the vision of social media to the vision of keeping a high stock price. Which is always, always disastrous for R&D.
Well, then Debug.writeln; I code in a wide variety of languages, but I'm currently paid to code in VB.
I find actually I get more errors the more strict the typecasting is, as a rule. I absolutely hated COBOL, where even your comments are syntax checked.
No, not all 5 billion of us. Potentially 80 billion of us. But the transition between will cause some deaths. Any given individual may not survive. But the species *will* survive, it's just a matter of adaptation. Those who fail to adapt, will die. Such is the way of evolution.

The straight people who are doing it obviously flunked sex ed, because that's NOT the way to make a baby, which is the evolutionary purpose of sex.

Personally, I want both on my team.

Correct- just Catholic Bishops being told "pay for our abortions or we'll throw you in jail."
Or had the leaders of YOUR religion told they have a year to comply with violations of basic beliefs.

You mean, kind of like houses.
Ok, then pick your favorite area the size of Texas- it's not the specific state that matters in this instance.

Also, as long as we're talking religion, AFAIK, nobody's ever drilled down to the Earth's Core. What makes them think it's made of Uranium?
And that's the reason we still need nations and national borders protected by military.
Fat also contains carbon. Obesity means atmospheric carbon negative eating.
