dingorex ::: Favorites My program works 100% of the time---NERD education Make all kids learn arts and sciences and quit spending money on K thru 12 remedial sex ed,that's an even bigger waste, That money could be spent on more foreign aid to the Palestinians. 07-08-10 04:07:00 _____________________________________________________
logofreetv ::: Favorites You're assuming I will have a wife the same age - she could be much, much younger. look up Charlie Chaplin. What about jd unwin? did you look it up? - and aren't you even slightly bothered that your theorizing cannot account for people like me? 07-08-02 23:56:55 _____________________________________________________
logofreetv ::: Favorites sorry but the analogy is incorrect - my experience isn't a once-off event, but literally thousands of decisions that have proven themselves over time. Experience does beat statistics when it is repeatable - also it isn't just me, it's lots of friends I know too. The amount of people who stand by abstinence and live by it is significant. And your dismissal of the Utah report is prejudiced, as I've pointed out - the Mathematica report (and you've effectively admitted it) is incomplete. 07-08-02 23:55:13 _____________________________________________________
jimmyrcom ::: Favorites not silly at all. The older bother male and female get the less likely of a successful healthy baby. 07-08-02 19:21:27 _____________________________________________________
jimmyrcom ::: Favorites -_-. One of my teachers fell asleep while driving, because they weren't wearing a seatbelt they survived, otherwise they would have been decapitated. Anecdotal evidence, not wearing a seatbelt saves your life. Experience Doesn't beat <b>STATISTICS</b>. I dismiss a report because a super high probability of bias. 07-08-02 19:20:52 _____________________________________________________

logofreetv ::: Favorites Yes, but studies can't so blatantly contradict personal experience - from my perspective, the Mathematica conclusion _cannot be anything other than false_, and I can authoritatively state that. Experience beats theory - they say it doesn't work - I _know_ it can. btw, don't you think it unreasonable to dismiss a report based on where it came from? That's a fair load of bias right there, don't you think? 07-08-02 19:11:39 _____________________________________________________
logofreetv ::: Favorites That's silly - it's well known that men can father children until very old age, so having children is a moot point. Also, I'm glad you brought up the point of population growth. google jd unwin - sex is a powerful force, but cannot simply be enshrined in a system without values - it will be the death of the society you live in. 07-08-02 19:04:02 _____________________________________________________
jimmyrcom ::: Favorites "worked too well" is to say that societies value population growth just not when the person can't sustain themselves. Generally after around 30 women are much more likely to have complications in their pregnancy and the older men get again, the more chance for complications. Then again if you don't want children, no problem, but peak sexual years are over and unused. 07-08-02 14:55:21 _____________________________________________________
jimmyrcom ::: Favorites Personal experience is considered anecdotal evidence in statistics, and considered irrelevant. I would think the same if I were you. How are you to prove you wouldn't have had sex anyway due to personality traits/looks-height-weight-socialclass making it difficult to obtain a sexual partner? Not saying your ugly, short, fat and lazy but search youtube for "idiocracy". Even the more intelligent people tend to mate less. 07-08-02 14:44:03 _____________________________________________________
