Condoms are not 100% effective. Neither are birth control pills. Nor spermicide.

(did not mean to groan, by the way).
So, you're agreeing that women should take the risk of having unprotected sex? Did you know most pregnancies (Unless I'm wrong)... happen with unprotected sex? I'm sorry but protected sex, if you use a condom , Birth control is 98% effective. IUD's (intrauterine device) and the shots are 100% effective.

No protection at all? 0% effective. It's easier to protect yourself.. than to think on the thought you have "Oh, it's not 100% protective, I'm just gonna have unprotective sex because that's just better".. You're a kid, so I'll let that slide. Tell me the first girl you have sex with .. with no protection.. and let me know IF YOU dont get her pregnant. Go on.

I'm not saying that people who don't want to get pregnant shouldn't use protection to try to prevent it. I am saying that for all people complain about getting pregnant when they didn't use protection, there are also cases when protection does fail leading to unwanted pregnancies. Not every form of contraception (especially the most effective methods) are easily available to everyone while condoms are.

Dude, you're a 17 year old kid. YOU don't even know what your views are yet. So no, I'm not going to PM you.

Abstinence is also 100% effective, but I guess I'm being unreasonable now LOL

You know what grinds my gears...failed marriages.


And not the kind that end in divorce, no. I'm talking about when you want to marry someone and they leave you while you're in the desert. LOL

Dommo - I may be a "kid", but that doesn't know what my own personal views on a subject are.

That sucks eric

People at work who think they know what they're talking about but don't have a clue. They want to feel people need to listen to their know-it-all bullshit just to "fit in". I hate working with some of my co workers.

Going through the rigmarole of removing the tires from your old wheels, to remove the TPMS sensors and install them on your new wheels...only to find out that they won't fit. What a waste of an afternoon...and I will forever have a low tire pressure sensor light! w00t w00t.

But not before I paid to have the sensors rebuilt! What a crapshoot.

That sucks. :\ You could always order aftermarket TPMS sensors, but I don't know if it's worth the cost just to not have to look at the TPMS light. I used to just deal with the light for 6 months out of the year when I had my winter tires on.

LOL.

Having other cars want to play when you're breaking in your engine and can't boost at all and can't go above 4k RPMs. ARGH!

Although the one tonight was a Crossfire...meh, not worth the petrol LOL.

...driving the twisty mountain road home from the supermarket full of groceries, and you know that if you dive bomb the switchbacks you'll have a grocery disaster in the cargo area because you still don't have netting. So you pull over and let them pass and they are *gone* round the next bend.
