POPSBill Maher: New Rules - Look Beyond The Candidates’ Skin Color Cont.... And it’s true, he’s spent his entire life shuffling from one low-paying government job to another. Well, except those years he spent in prison. Typical! And between you and me, he’s not very articulate. Oh, he may have some street smarts, but he’s not what you call an educated man. He freely admits he’s ignorant about the economy. And apparently the only thing his white running mate knows how to do is crank out one baby after another. And now of course, her teenage daughter is pregnant out of wedlock. Because she learns it at home! But that doesn’t mean we should assume all white people are like that, just because so many of them are.

POPSBarbies For War! Anne Heche’s mother, Nancy, talked about her distress when her daughter told her she was involved with Ellen. Jeff Johnston told me he had “a struggle” with homosexuality “for a season,” but is now “happily married with three boys.” (Books for sale there included “Mommy, Why Are They Holding Hands?” and “You Don’t Have to Be Gay.”) “We are one Supreme Court justice away from overturning Roe v. Wade,” he excitedly told me. R. D. Levno, a retired school principal, flew in from Fairbanks. “She’s a child, inexperienced and simplistic,” she said of Sarah. “It’s taking us back to junior high school. She’s one of the popular girls, but one of the mean girls. She is seductive, but she is invented.” I KNEW she reminded me of a "Heather" :lol:

POPSFather Doesn't Know Daughter Very Well He "didn't eve know his daughter had a boyfriend" she has "been sneaking into the home for more than a year"? Come on! You can't not know that much about your child. I give the kids half a year tops to sneak around before getting caught. But otherwise, kudos for chasing him out with a pipe while he is still naked. That is a priceless image in my head I will keep forever!

POPSIn Love with Love: Watch Out!
By the second half of the 20th century, though, this culture of restraint had been jettisoned, and replaced by the idea that self-denial was self-abnegation. Now, in its general thrust, our culture is in love with the idea of love, awash with cock-eyed romanticism and unable to tell any more what's attraction, what's lust and what's love. Puberty, and even childhood is suffused with a popular music soundtrack that peddles endless trite paeans to the central importance of modern romance. The most surprising of people want naff anthems celebrating some songwriter's long-since ruined "true love" at their weddings. At some point, most teenage girls at least flirt with the idea of giving attraction a dry run by developing a crush on a pop star. Heaven knows what Wagner would make of it all. On the whole, people don't really like it when scientists tell them that attraction is all down to pheromones, or waist-to-hip proportion, or instinctive recognition of genetic differentiation.

POPSPolice Threaten to Seize Bikes From Riders w/o Helmets
What! Is this America? Oh the tyranny of the ever growing Nanny & Security State! Talk about something that "threatens our way of life"--it is government that is doing it! How many grew up riding bikes without helmets, safely, and loved it that way! In essence: "We are with the government, but will act like your parent instead, and make rules for you to obey or you will lose even your bike riding privileges". This, seat belt laws, ATV laws, even radical drug laws, etc. represent a liberty-killing totalitarianism by government that thinks it can protect people from themselves. This is over the top! Seriously, look how even the newspaper portrays this new sin in New England (birthplace of liberty), like it's a scandal! Yesterday, a teenage boy was spotted pedaling near downtown without a helmet, his blond locks fluttering. Oh, what a wicked boy! Meanwhile real sins and social crimes are treated like nothing, while they destroy families, marriages,

POPSIs Sex Information the Federal Government's Business?
They were however forced to make sexual choices without information about how to reduce the risk of disease and pregnancy, not to mention how to manage the panoply of emotions that accompany sex. A recent CDC study estimates that one in four (26 percent) young women between the ages of 14 and 19 in the United States - or 3.2 million teenage girls - is infected with at least one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. The study also found that Black teenage girls were most severely affected. Nearly half of the young Black women surveyed (48 percent) were infected with an STD. Kevin Fenton, M.D., director of CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention, said. "Today's data demonstrate the significant health risk STDs pose to millions of young women in this country every year." High STD infection rates among young women are clear signs that we must demand that young people have access to comprehensive sex and HIV/AIDS education.

POPSThe Teen Brain Human and animal studies, Jensen and Urion note, have shown that the brain grows and changes continually in young people—and that it is only about 80 percent developed in adolescents. The largest part, the cortex, is divided into lobes that mature from back to front. The last section to connect is the frontal lobe, responsible for cognitive processes such as reasoning, planning, and judgment. Normally this mental merger is not completed until somewhere between ages 25 and 30—much later than these two neurologists were taught in medical school. There are also gender differences in brain development. As Urion and Jensen explain, the part of our brain that processes information expands during childhood and then begins to thin, peaking in girls at roughly 12 to 14 years old and in boys about two years later. This suggests that girls and boys may be ready to absorb challenging material at different stages, and that schools may be missing opportunities to reach them.
