This is hands down the Number One machine I'd never want to "Fall Into"
My number Two machine would be the "Wood Chipper"

Wow... Makes me teary-eyed thinking about my son and how much I'm going to miss his babyhood in a few years. Why do they have to grow so fast?!

Something to ponder next time you're up all night with a crying baby.


You're totally right of course, but to be honest, I've always been an appreciate-right-now type of fellow. Even with the lack of sleep and all his screaming every night those first few months, I was sad when considering that the experience would be just a distant memory some day. (And I'm sure I'll be doing the same with baby number two in a few short months. )

Utah, used to be the old number one, for insight. BTW, we are also a VERY heavily abstinence leaning state--outside of Salt Lake City, Park City, and Ogden. Some adults I know personally didn't truly know what sex was--fully and all its implications until they were 25 years old, almost seniors in COLLEGE...
Utah. Utah is almost all low to high middle income Caucasian urbanites... It's incredibly homogeneous. But, you could say due to the LDS church's influence this is a special scenario. Yet, in other states religion tends to be one of the highest reasons this subject comes up.
Luckily, my parents taught me early and I had Sex Ed in my health class and knew by 14 the full implications. Utah (our idiotic political carpetbaggers that have carved the state up so they can get these things into the pasture and passed easily due to the higher numbers of their types in office; that are all affiliated with the Tea Party strangely enough--and like Glenn beck...), this year, tried to BAN Sex Ed in its legislature. But the governor was forced to veto the bill due to public outrage (strangely enough, it pissed off a lot of people here). Basically they passed a bill that would have forced abstinence ONLY education even though (I believe) we are number two behind Mississippi.

I'm dubious about that. In fact, here's the first data I came across with a google search. Check out page 15. Utah is way below average and among the lowest in the country for every year they have data, going back to the 80s. In 2005 we were number 45 out of 50 in teen pregnancies.
But then again we're not an abstinence only state. If republicans manage to change that, as they nearly did, I guess we'll have a good case study.


Strange I'll have to check that out. Of course, I'm COMPLETELY basing everything I'm saying off of what a KSL report said pre-veto (of the 2012 Utah legislature's "Abstinence Only" Bill). Perhaps they had their data misconstrued and presented it the wrong way. I'll post the KSL story if I can find it in their history; then look at our information and statistics and then see what they may have possible misread and thought it was us, for some reason--they specifically said the previous cycle year to this study; so I'm confused to.

Thanks for catching that for me @entr0py, I appreciate that sort of thing.

So I admit I may be wrong, sorry if I am! I'll release another, "I'm sorry", later when I have better detail of why I got bad reporting.

I'm all for sex ed, but correlation is not causation - as is quickly skimmed over by Cenk, ethnicity, income etc would play a much larger role than just a few crppy high school health classes.

Yay, thank you!

Bit of a long response, but I REALLY have something to say here. Two performing artists from the 1980's stuck out in my mind because I always figured that the 2nd song they released was W-A-Y better than their first. This song was indeed JHJ's first single, but the next song they released struck a chord with me because it had a humanitarian feel to it....the cynic in me says it didn't do too well 'cos the PC brigade didn't want a clean-cut band singing a song that tipped a hat to prostitutes .... but, ho hum.

"Pure Heart Of Gold" - (Johnny Hates Jazz)


Artist number two was a guy called Rupert Holmes, he was most famously known for the "Pina Colada" song, but his 2nd release (which was ALSO a song about cheating within a relationship) just seemed to get to the heart of the matter that bit more & was a better song in my book.

"Him" - (Rupert Holmes)


If I'd known this post was in Beggar's Canyon, it wouldn't have been there for very long, I can tell you that much.

There are two rules to remember if you want to have an awesome life like puppet, rule number one, never run out of Colt 45, rule number two never forget rule number one.

edit: I s'pose I got a bit excited as I approached silver... =)
