At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

What you are talking about is not the result of promiscuous sex. It is the result of people uneducated in the use of birth control.
IUD's, modern pills and patches are 99.7%, or more, effective.
There would be next to none of the problems you mention if REAL sex education was taught in schools.
Teen pregnancy rates have been dropping for years country wide (2012 was the lowest since 1946), except the states where abstinence only is taught.
Seriously? You claim a lack of sexual education is the cause of unwanted pregnancy and the spread of std's?
I suppose you would say people die from cancer as a result of tobacco use because they weren't educated that smoking increases your risk of cancer.
I suppose lack of education may represent a fraction of the blame, but I would state the reasons to be much different.

-because it is?

Obviously that played a more-than-trivial part, since smoking and related cancers have gone down (over a cliff) now that people know what it does to them (I say this as a smoker).

[Rhetorical question alert]
I wonder which states in the U.S. are among the highest nationwide in terms of rates of teenage pregnancies and spread of STDs and what conclusions we might draw regarding any correlation between religiosity and unwanted sexual outcomes?
But you aren't saying that. You're only now injecting that straw into this argument because you have nothing to stand on.
bold mine.
Look up, dummy. I have already done that three times now. I can't be arsed to keep showing you your own words. Especially if you're not going to bother reading what you write. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
Look - if you cannot see the correlation between what YOU wrote and the perception in what YOU wrote, then you are beyond help here. But hey - I can do this all day. I do however, have to stop at 5pm because I have to get to school tonight.
You didn't say that word for word exactly. But your intent behind the words you did use, said it. Quit trying to play semantics here.
And I'll ask you - where in your post did you make any attempt to say what men or males in such communities, could do to help the "unsuccessful" (read: failure) single mothers you mentioned?
emphasis mine.
It's all over your fucking post. And again, I've taken the time to point it out.
You don't get a free pass because you blatantly went out of your way, to send a message through your post that yes, you ARE blaming single mothers for their unsuccessful raising of, as YOU put it: bored, young, jobless men. All the while, again, refusing to offer up any positive suggestions that could be a solution to that. And now you want to play semantics with me because you got called out for being misogynist? Up to this point, I have refused to call you that. But your continued arguing and refusal to see what came out of YOUR OWN thought process and got put in writing by YOU, is just mind blowing.
Okay.... I'll dumb it down, just for you since you want to be bullheaded about it:
Did you actually use the specific word "blame"? Nope. But your entire posts REEKS of blaming single mothers and seeing them as the problem - even more so in Milwaukee, according to you.
Show me in your post where you took a stance against absent baby daddies and offered up any responsibility on them? Show me in your post where you made suggestions for the grown men in the communities you spoke of, so that they could help end the cycle of the type of situations you're talking about. Oh that's right, you can't show me because you didn't bother mentioning any of that and judging by your reaction here, I can see that you don't like it when a woman uses your own words against you and makes a fair point that you really can't argue with.
You're a fucking idiot. All five of my cats agree that someone must have made you drink bad Kool-Aid when you were a kid.
Fuck off you fat cunt.
Show me where I blamed women for anything specifically or shut your mouth.
Aww it's so cute when you're all pathetic

All of this talk that people can just sleep around as long as they are consenting adults and no one gets hurt, seems not to be grounded in reality. I would agree with this if the statement were "people can sleep with whomever they want, whenever they want, because no one will get hurt."
I don't really care who is banging away at who. What I witness everyday is the aftermath of children being born outside of marriage.

I suppose you guys can resume your discussion on the "C" word now.
Parents TOGETHER can screw up their kids just as bad though. How about the couple a few weeks back that took off to play Pokemon Go and left their two year old outside in 90 degree weather with no water for 90 minutes? That child would have been objectively better off with one parent who actually cared about him versus two who don't...
