"...What on earth are you talking about? Page 42 has nothing to do with the gathering of the control group - or any group at all! It talks about how each of the groups does at identifying STDs!"

As for africa, You assume the USA has a duty to
help them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Human beings have a duty to help them. Nationality is irrelevant except to the extent that the government is in the employ of its citizens.
Then why do they need the goverment to do it for them? All a
goverment is an organization that is supposed to look out
for it's people right?
Better than most other countries that don't help much at all.

Source, please?
This was just plain wrong on my part. No excuse for it
either. However:
www.nationmaster.com/grap...-aid-donor
is a more accurate stat. The US may be near the lowest on
the list by GDP but 4th highest by sheer funds given.
------------------------------------------------
First, an elementary-level distinction: Rape causes harm against the will of the victim. By definition.
------------------------------------------------
Rape is any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person. According to the Link:
dictionary.reference.com/browse/rape
The point is that while the majority of rape is hate related
there is a minority that is just biological urge. Drugged
rape in particular seem to fit this pattern.
Note that the reason is irrelevant as far as punishment
for a rape goes but if you beleive sex is just a natural
biological urge then certain types of rapes are the
same thing. Which in my opinion is Ridiculous.
---------------------------------------------
Sex, in and of itself, does not hurt people. STDs and pregnancy are outside factors that attach to the act - and which can be seperated from it.
---------------------------------------------
Limit the chance yes. Seperate? how? Sterilization? Works
for pregnancies but STDs? Rubbers? Limit the chance yes
but you'd better hope they don't break or you could be
in a world of problems.
------------------------------------
Second: The moral component of the choice between abstinence and sexual activity - presuming that one is agreed to exist, which, as you might've guessed, I actually don't - is not under question here. In fact, it is COMPLETELY FUCKING IRRELEVANT!!!
---------------------------------------------
For someone who doesn't know faith this is right. For those
that teach it and live by example though it's hypocresy(?)
A religious missionary in Africa in your view should say:
"My beleifs mean nothing. here, have some rubbers. "
If their beleifs are nothing then they wouldn't be there in
the first place. So who would fill the void?
