The original comment about a wooden tit was made by a Dutch member. Holland
has troops in Iraq as part of the Coalition. How does that make him a
coward?

And what does talking about America's sudden inclination for Puritanical
beliefs being enforced on a hundred year old ship have to do with the war in
Iraq? All of the shows on TV do nothing but emphasize sex. Children are
having babies in their early teens because of this constant influence. Yet,
items from our history that have substantial meaning and no sexual
connotation whatsoever must now be censored...? Isn't this a bit
hypocritical...? Also, wasn't the US founded on the belief that everyone
has their own say? Internet boards such as this are terrific for that. It
also allows for the meshing of cultures and the better understanding of
viewpoints. Yet, it appears now that everyone can have their say, so long
as it coincides with what the majority of people "think" they believe based
upon what the media feels like reporting that day, in a sensationalistic and
not factual approach, of course.

Don't you think it is ironic that a Congressional investigation was launched
and convened quicker for Janet Jackson's pierced tit than the one needed
about false intelligence surrounding 9-11...???

Did you even read the article that you posted?

''The painted figure on the bow of the ship, a woman with long red
hair in
a
green dress with one breast bared, caused a stir when the ship docked
in
Jacksonville, Fla., where the ship's publicity staff had to divert a
group
of schoolchildren so they would not pass by it. ''

''Otherwise, the visits to American ports have gone smoothly.''



Europeans are surprised by the American reaction to a wooden tit. You
either react with horror, or you vote it into the office of President!

As our sons and daughters fight around the world to save your coward
asses, you all sit around worrying about who gets to see a wooden tit!
Precious idiots...

Jake,
I don't recommend that people get married these days until at least 25
let alone have children before. But I find it interesting that in reading a
lot of books about American Indian culture, when a girl had her first period
she was considered a woman and frequently married and had kids. Perhaps they
were a lot more mature for their time and place.

I agree. The maturity level of the two generations you describe is vastly
different. Considering that one of the most difficult choices children in
their early teens have these days is what video game to play, I think it
would be comparing apples and oranges to the children of days past.
Besides, the average lifespan in those days was 30-35 years. A 13-15 year
old girl could be considered middle-age...!!!

In a variety of cultures where marriages were arranged, it was not uncommon for
the bride to 11 or 12 years old, or even younger. This, however, didn't mean
she was ready to become a fulltime housewife. I've heard descriptions of the
village "child-brides" playing the same games they played before marriage. Of
course, I'm sure things went downhill after they started having children.

Yeah... imagine playing hide-and-seek with a toddler following you
everywhere.

BTW, just to get this slightly on-topic again, I remember a story
about a British tall-ship being sold to Norway about a hundred
years ago. The new owners wanted to name her after a politician
(who was male, of course, as they usually were at that time). The
owners' representative in England checked the ship, and sent them
a telegram: "Name wrong. Lady in front."

Maybe the lack of available birth control methods and good information for
these youngsters has something to do with it as well. ;-)

Because I always learned when you use birth control you won't get babies :-)

You musr suffer from rather severe learning difficulties.

Since the 1960's, the use of birth control has increased enormously.

Oddly, so has the number of unwanted pregnancies .

I bet that you would suggest that we need even *more* birth control?

Have you noticed that the number of terrorist incidents have increased since
Iraq was attacked? Should we drop more bombs on Iraq to reduce terrorist
activity?
