Don't worry hun! The Wings will fight back! Stevie Y will give an inspiring speech while only standing on one leg, Federov will block a shot, Shanahan will learn how to score again..... They will win yet!
Thanks Ty. They put up a hell of a game, though. Good luck with the Leafs. I'm sure they'll win the next game - after all, they've come so far already.
" "Does anyone else think it's unfair that women have longer lasting orgasms.. but don't seem to be as interested in experiencing it? " News to me. " Well I didn't really mean in reality, it was meant partially as a joke, and partially as the majorities perception of women's sex drive. You know, all the jokes about masturbaition .. and there is a lot of stuff on TV about it. The sitcoms on TV at least. They aren't so bad anymore. Like on Seinfeld, Ellaine was part of the masturbaition bet too (or maybe it was all sex), and she lost it. It's also a little odd, but in my school, a girl who has a lot of sex is a slut, but a guy who has a lot of sex is a guy. I'm not so sure if people take those seriously or not, but they always say it. I know a nice girl who just bought 200 dollars of sex toys. She is really good looking too. I wonder how she got them though, since she is underage. "News to me. " So you'd at least agree that it's unfair then?? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

I'm not so sure if people take those seriously or not, but they always say it." That's certainly what I've noticed. A weaker woman will give into social pressures - even believe them - but I think it's utter bull. There are those who do not pursue sex and there are those who would take the Epicuran stance that it's a waste of time and energy, but there's no real reason not to, provided one takes precautions. Rather silly holdover from the Victorian era, IMAO. "I know a nice girl who just bought 200 dollars of sex toys. She is really good looking too. I wonder how she got them though, since she is underage." Are there age restrictions on who can buy sex toys? "So you'd at least agree that it's unfair then?? " Yep. Life is not fair.

"Are there age restrictions on who can buy sex toys? " Well, you need to be 18 to rent porno. So I thought that you would need to be just as old to buy sex toys. And XXX shops near where I live say 'adults only' on them. I really don't know for sure though.

So, what makes you think other species don't have sex just for the fun of it? I'd say it's more likely that they're wired not to enjoy it unless the female is fertile. But seeking pleasure and avoiding pain is HOW instincts work, what keeps us alive; Animals don't think, "Damn, this is boring, but gotta do it in order to have some cubs in a few months.". They have sex because it's pleasurable. Evolutionary wiring sees to it that it's pleasurable when it would be useful to have it. As for humans having an instinct to reproduce, ever looked at the population statistics for nations with good medicine, birth control and old age pensions? There isn't a single advance nation where the people are having enough children to replace themselves! We enjoy sex in order that we will have sex. In the absense of technology, sex leads to reproduction, so an instinct to reproduce would be redundant... An instinct to have sex does the job. Then you introduce technology, so that people CAN have sex without reproducing. And you introduce old age pensions so that they think they don't have to have children to support them in their old age. And what happens? Why, they don't have children! There isn't any instinct to reproduce, folks. If there were, people would go broke trying to sell contraceptives.
Arg. "So, what makes you think other species don't have sex just for the fun of it?" Certain chemicals released in the body are what control us having 'pleasure'. Other animals don't have these chemical's released, save the dolphin and one other animal I can't remember at hte moment. Maybe pig. "There isn't a single advance nation where the people are having enough children to replace themselves!" Where do people like you come from? Are you born with the intention to make up facts? Or is it taught? In 2001 the U.S. had a birth rate of 14.4 per 1000 people. In the same year the death rate was 8.7 (source: United Nations World Almanac). Please learn how to not make up facts. "There isn't any instinct to reproduce, folks. If there were, people would go broke trying to sell contraceptives." We have an instinct to kill. Doesn't mean everybody does it, do they? Humans have intelligence which allows them to think logically. That's why we are able to deny our instincts a lot of the time. Please don't be so stupid. Honestly.
"Oh no, but pornography is bad for you." Right! Remember kiddies, when you download internet porn, you're jerking off with HITLER! I love this article. I disagree with the author on the WOT, but I love the guy's sense of humor. http://www.mtcp.co.uk/mark/articles.htm#top
Tyler, I'm not making up facts, I'm looking at them more closely. Your crude measure of births vs deaths fails to take into account the fact that we have a disproportionate number of women currently passing through their fertile years due to the baby boom, and a deficit of deaths due to improving medical care. If, however, you look at current lifetime fertility, based on numbers of births to women at different ages, you will find that we're below replacement. When that cohort of women passes beyond their age of fertility, the birth rate will plummet. It's kind of like a rocket whose engine has burned out, but which is still coasting upward... It may be gaining altitude, but it's still in free fall.
Freefalling is hardly the key word. All stats are per 1000. 1970 - 14 1980 - 16.2 1985 - 15.7 1990 - 16.0 1995 - 14.2 2001 - 14.4 As it stands, we're still up from 1970. And our death rates are on the decline (down 9.0 to 8.7). "There isn't a single advance nation where the people are having enough children to replace themselves!" Please learn to speak properly then. If at the current point in time people are having almost twice as many babies as people are dieing, they are replacing the dead. Understand? And Xev, arey ou guys actually having a War on Hormones?
"And Xev, arey ou guys actually having a War on Hormones?" EVILDOER!!!!!!! Bushie wants high schools to be given money for teaching 'abstinance only' sex ed. Basically, abstinance only is where a bunch of teachers lie to us in order to convince us not to fuck until we're married. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP! They really think that people should wait until they married to fuck. There are two possibilities: 1: This dosen't work, but kids aren't taught the basics of prevention and cases of STDs and teen pregnencies go through the roof. The first is more probable, the second is unspeakably horrible: 2: This actually works, and we end up a nation of 32 year old virgins. *Xev is frightened and hides under her bed*
You can be still on your way up, but still in free fall, if you're not under thrust. I'm not confused, though you may be: The US population is not in an equilibrium condition, it's responding to a transient. Current birth rates are high due to the fact that there's an excess of women in their fertile years, and current death rates are low due to the fact that that same birth cohort haven't yet reached their high mortality years. That people immigrating to this country tend to be in their childbearing years also contributes to the distortion. None the less, the fertility rate, the number of children women have during their entire lifetime, is about 2 in the US. That's not enough for replacement, given the fact that some of those children won't live long enough to have children themselves. And in this regard we're actually doing better than most developed nations, which have fertility rates as low as 1.4. And this is happening, not because of some plague of infertility, or a famine, or anything like that. It's happening because people are chosing not to have children. That's not a choice we'd be making if we had an instinct to reproduce! Which is my point. We have an instinct to have sex. When children come along as a result, we have an instinct to raise them. But we do NOT have an instinct to reproduce. And why should we? Absent birth control, we wouldn't NEED an instinct to reproduce, the simple fact that sex was enjoyable, and leads to pregnancy, would suffice.
"As for humans having an instinct to reproduce, ever looked at the population statistics for nations with good medicine, birth control and old age pensions? There isn't a single advance nation where the people are having enough children to replace themselves! " Yeah, when we were without technology and medicine people had lots of kids to be able to work on their farm.. But now people have kids because they actually want them. As for the fairly simple animals, they have sex only because of hormones I guess.(?) There is a species of mice -- the male will develop and it's hormones will rage; and it will screw itself to death. (Is it worth it?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!) It just has so much sex that it wears itself out and it's immune system can't protect it from disease. Xex: Is that true? Bush has a war on drugs, terrorism, AND hormones now! Personally, I don't want him dealing with my erection. Why'd you guys vote him into office!!? Al Gore wasn't that bad. He wasn't 'old fashioned' at least. Right wing christians are WRONG for office!
