Dutch tall ship causes acute embarrassment
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...??? "Backyard Renegade" wrote in message om... "Donal" wrote in message ... "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... 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! Regards Donal 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. Paul "Jake" wrote in message ... snipped All of the shows on TV do nothing but emphasize sex.

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...!!! "Paul Schilter" paulschilter@comcast,dot,net wrote in message ...

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.

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." Jørgen |

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? Regards Donal -- |

rhetorical question, right?
