God we fuck up teenagers’ heads. We tell them that biological conditions are moral punishments and then we get all shocked when they don’t practice rational risk management of biological conditions. We teach them “sex is super desirable and all the cool kids do it, and it’s hideously shameful and will destroy your life” and we wonder why they act an eensy bit neurotic about it. If you tried to design a system for making sexually active kids confused and unsafe, you couldn’t do much better than the American media and school system.
And for once, the answer is relatively simple. Just talk about sex like it’s a part of life. Some people have sex and some people don’t, because people are different. STIs aren’t bad because they’re Dirty Crotch Rot; they’re bad because they’re contagious illnesses like strep throat or whooping cough, and you can ask a doctor to check for and treat them just like you would with strep throat. Unwanted pregnancy isn’t a scarlet A; it’s a mostly-preventable accident that sometimes occurs when people are going about their normal business of having sex. You can ask the school counselor about a variety of topics, including career planning, problems at home, questions about sex, or conflicts with teachers.
If we could just get the goddamn stick out of our collective ass and accept that sex is a human activity and teenagers are humans, maybe there wouldn’t be quite so many plaintive “I don’t understand my body and I’m confused and scared and I don’t know anyone I can ask in person” messages flying out into the world.

This kind of woe-is-me self-loathing makes an easy headline, but doesn’t actually further any discussion. We shouldn’t discount the personal guilt this soldier obviously feels, but ‘terrorism’ is a word with strict definitions and limits.
There was no time during the entire occupation where United States or coalition troops were given orders to deliberately attack civilians for the sake of increasing the body count of innocents. I remind everyone reading this that such a body count was the precise and ongoing goal of Al-Qaeda, and it was they who fired the first shot.
There are far better arguments against the obvious moral failures of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan than to create a false equivalence between the United States and its allies and the criminal scum that view civilians as targets. One should not give these suggestions a soapbox, nor make apologies for ourselves as though we were the barbarians at the gates.

Seriously talk all your shit about “authenticity” and “real talent” but do you honestly think your cloying overdone White Guy music “legends” could deliver even a nominally passable performance in 6 inch heels while recalling hours’ worth of…
“Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) intends to run for president — of the United States — and he’s been a guest on Alex Jones’ show. In other words, the guy raising the specter of Obama using “weather weapons” to kill Oklahomans is the same guy helping influence several Republican policymakers in 2013. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that rather alarming.”
