1out of 8 pregnant..

[Peter_Puget]

at this high school.

 

There are 490 female students at Timken High School, and 65 are pregnant, according to a recent report in the Canton Repository.

Don't look at me- I've never been to Ohio.

[archenemy]

There must not be much else to do there.

But no need to worry, it is all working out as per the Intelligent Design.

[minx]

am i the only one not shocked by this. appalled yes, surprised...no way.

[j_b]

it's looks like the abstinence before marriage programs are working. should probably allocate more money just to make sure

[foraker]

isn't that one o' them thar red states?

[archenemy]

I love how they blame:

movies, TV, videogames, lazy parents and lax discipline

 

as if those things don't exist in the rest of the country.

[archenemy]

maybe the problems are:

"School officials are not sure what has caused so many pregnancies"

 

and

"students will face mounting tensions"

maybe the problems are:

"School officials are not sure what has caused so many pregnancies"

 

and

"students will face mounting tensions"

 

seems as plain as the pimples on their faces

 

could someone explain intelligent design for me. clearly i wasn't designed intelligently.

[foraker]

i'm waiting for ID proponents to explain why we have so many garbage and vestigial segments in our genome. we're kind of like supercomputers that have random bits of circuitry from old Heathkit computers embedded in ourselves, except the circuits aren't connected to anything....kind of a crappy design really.

[Dru]

Naw that's bullshit foraker, the "junk DNA" is actually epigenetic.

[foraker]

hey, my knowledge of the genome is limited by what i've read from Matt Ridley. :-P

[foraker]

doesn't that just shift the focus to "we're poorly designed self-replicators"?

what you're really saying is that the genome could use a good defragging?

Couldn't we all?

[assmonkey]

Canton Ohio, according to this site, has 9.3% unemployment and a median household income of $28k/year.

 

Sounds like a poor community, and given that it's in Ohio, and looking at the local church listing, it's probably a good guess that Canton is predmoninantly made up of minorities.

 

So, what, prey tell, is your point? Are you race-baiting PP? Did you get this link from Rush Limbaugh? Are you going to suggest perhaps that "those people" should be sterilized? Or did you just want to point and laugh and the funny, dumb and pregnant poor people?

 

Or are you going to suggest something intelligent, such as expanded support for family planning education and access to affordable birth control in this community? Perhaps diverting some funds to provide economic aid to this depressed community to increase their standard of living and education?

 

I guess since they are a predominantly minority community in a state with run by vile Republicans, they deserve what they get, right PP?

 

Sweet, thanks for posting this link!

Maybe it's one of those leftover bits that makes you wait for answers to questions like this.

Sure you libs just mock and heap scorn on these kids...where's the love?

i said "defragging" not defrocking

really, i'm mocking and scorning the parents of these kids. they're the ones occupying seats on the schoolboards and PTA.

Are "white trash" a minority?

[Peter_Puget]

Hey asswipe..go the the schools website!

[olyclimber]

the parents are the ones who are responsible. clearly they must all be "libs". like duh, linkinator.

[foraker]

no no no. libs are never responsible. they refuse to accept responsibility. it's only the righteous God-fear-mongering neocons who accept personal responsibility (disclaimer: only if actually caught, tried, convicted and later pardoned by the President and maybe not even then).

[foraker]

In certain places, oh my, yes indeedy.
