One thing that certainly needs to change and be retroactive back to the days of Washington is congress be forbidden to pass any law that congress exempts themselves from.

I can agree with that......maybe then they'd actually be kept in check.....

Ohhh I likey. Make 'em live in Army barracks too, and force SS on them instead of that golden parachute they get. I'll bet SS at the least would be fixed in a flash!

SS could be fixed if they would raise the cap to 250k instead of 105k or whatever it is currently. That would set it straight for the next 100 years or more.

RE: legalizing prostitution to stimulate economy.

Perhaps? But I was offering an alternative that may sit better with Christian/Catholic/Jewish and other religious tolerances.
Non-penetrative sex supervised by certified nurses in medical clinics who have medical boards or nursing boards to report to and be regulated by may be safer way to stop STD and abortion/pregnancy, and regulate industry wide pricing.

I see what you mean and that is interesting, but people choosing to pay for or sell sex of their own accord shouldn't be jailed or fined for doing so either way......no matter what the religious right and those of that ilk may think about it. You can't legislate personal rights based on what someone else views as wrong like that.

Prostitution probably should be legalized as well as an alternative to folks who won't settle for anything short of intercourse. Wouldn't be a bad idea to do like they did during Amer. Civil War and require protitutes to register and be checked regularly for health to keep their licenses.

But as far as sex education goes, I think we have to stop at non-penetrative, and also make it non-mandatory for kids to participate.
These nurse clinics would be a good part of a nation wide sex aducation reform as alternative to abstinence. Nobody wants to wait until they graduate college to have sex. Well, almost nobody. I wanted it when I was in junior high. And I like girls in 1st grade.

As far as legalized sex for profit goes should be up to the states, not the federal government. IMO most things in this country including immigration laws should be up to the states and not the feds.

It already is up to the states.



Immigration is a federal issue.

I dont think states or feds should be in the sex business

I also dont agree with making sex illegal,, between consenting adults, regardless of what is exchanged consentually,,,,

if casual sex is legal, I dont agree that being paid for sex should not be as well

A, I know prostitution is up to the states.

B, not when it directly effects the states. What is and what should be are two different things.

OOOPS!!! I meant I liked girls when I was in the first grade.
Yicks! freudient slip??

Does anyone else agree that one reason our government spends to much is because it has a reactionary/reactive rather than a proactive system of doing things. Example:

In the case of sex, we have professionals on the childbirth end of sex: doctors, nurses, midwives, social workers, etc. read to deliver babies or abort them, and if delivered and unwanted, put them up for adoption. And we have doctors and clinics ready to treat STD transmission issues after sex has occurred.

Yet, what professionals do we have on the business end of sex
(during sex) where STD transmission and conception can occur if the proper precautions are not taken?

That is where the Sexual Assistant Nursing profession would come in.
And Neighborhood Sexual Assistant Clinics.

Guttmacher institute reported recently that 70% of our nation's youth have had sexual intercourse before turning age 19.

What if we could offer those kids an alternative that would meet their needs until marriage and a monagomous relationship? If kids want to put off marriage until after grad school great, but to suggest they stay abstinent is unrealistic.

The alternative spur of the moment sex, when youth and young adults can sneak it in, all the way sex, without the proper precautions.
let's give our youth the tools they need to live sexually satisfying lives and not use marriage as a quick escape from that lonely, dreary, APPRENTICESHIP IN SELF MASTERY (see Catholic Catecism)

Taxing sex could work if they found a way to measure how much was used.

I've felt for a long time THIS is what kids need, EDUCATION not just being told no because of religion or whatever other reason there would be. By shaming it, all you do is push the kids away from you, because they STILL are gonna want sex, they'll just do it in secret. I was that way, even though I never acted out in real. That's to say nothing of the shame you place on them for even doing it, which again I went through till I realized it was natural and nothing to be ashamed about.

But in any case, how we view sex now hurts both the kids and the parents, because the kids are still gonna do it, they're just not gonna tell their parents about it, and that is where you get your unwanted babies, stds and abortions from. They have no one to talk to so they experience this all from their peers basically. Meantime the parents relationship to the kid suffers, and they have to constantly worry about them. No one wins in this situation, not the parent or the child, they both lose out.

I truly believe that if kids were again EDUCATED about what is going as they grow and how to handle it, as opposed to being told just not to do it/act on their feelings, you'd see better relationships to their parents because they'd feel more comfortable talking to them about things rather than sneaking about, and you'd have a lot less issues with the unexpected kids, abortions and stds I referred to above.

Parents think they are trying to help their kids with how they treat this and trying to keep them safe.....but it really hurts both parties and puts the kid in more danger than if they were able to talk openly about things with them IMO.

Forget about our country dying, Limbaugh is the one dying......from all those late-night Baskin Robbins stops!!




He does seem to be nothing more than an abrasive entertainer. A wannabe politician, who actually has a decent chance of becoming Prez. We've elected some doosies for what, 50 years now?

I seriously doubt rush could stand up to the scrutiny presidential candidates are put through

That is because history classes only teach dates and name, not why people did things. I remember having talked about our government writing the bill of rights in school but never went into detail to why.

It is legal in Nevada but many people make the argument to make it illegal there and keep it illegal in the rest of the state by saying that it would put women in harms way as well as it is a type of slavery.
