the CDC gave me an awkward hand job in the back of my grandmother's caprice

The CDC gave me teh crabs.

If we don't talk about it, it doesn't happen!

The CDC taught me to play "just the tip".

The following statement has been shown to reduce unwanted teen pregnancy by up to 90%

"Eating sperm can get you high".

Why are we not warming kids about the dangers (and awesomeness) of swallowing?

Holy crap I want one of those Unwanted Pregnancy Postcards.

Actually, a couple. Four. Four should do.

FTFA "This prevents the public from scrutinizing the body of evidence underlying the CDC Task Force Recommendations in the same time frame in which the CDC recommendations will influence the decisions of policymakers and public health professionals," she said.

The same members of the public that have all the data science can provide on evolution, geology and astronomy and still come out believing that God created people out of dust and bits of ribs and that brontosauruses were on the ark. So quite frankly, I doubt the ability of the average member of the public to fire up SPSS or R and perform the analysis themselves. I doubt even their ability to read to the bottom of tfa and see the CDC's justification and even understand what it means.

It seems to me the analysis so far isn't available, however the data would be available to anyone wishing to look at it for themselves.

Never mind it comes down to statistics, and do you really want some of our more uh special members of society trying to deal with number crunching?

I spend my days struggling with statistics for my PhD. So, actually, yeah, I'd love to see those dimwits forced to do Stat 101 and watch their heads explode. Misery loves company.

Ok, so for you there's an exception ;)

Wouldn't that also spread teh ghey?

I love the photo of the Victorian woman beating off a stork with her umbrella.

I want larger versions of those unwanted pregnancy postcards.

So let me get this straight. They are trying to tell us that becoming educated about something is better than remaining in ignorance and fear? Hah! What a bunch of socialistic hogwash.

Palin

/that is all

Is the data anything like all the other studies that found comprehensive sex ed to be far superior to abstinence-only?

I just love the fact that the comments section for the article censors the word "sex".

No, but I'm pretty sure it would spread herpes and gonorrhea. Use a farking condom. Why is that so hard to swallow?

What picture were you looking at!?

Denizen: No, but I'm pretty sure it would spread herpes and gonorrhea. Use a farking condom. Why is that so hard to swallow?

I realize that comprehensive education is a plus, and practice makes perfect and that we have a very high incarceration rate in the country. But swallowing condoms? I really think we can leave off somewhere before that.

Abstinence is great, until you want to get laid. There is only so much you can do to put the brakes on a few million years of evolutionary instinct.

I would like to see the research and justification, and the CDC is a tax payer supported agency, so I say they should release both the results and the methodology. People whose minds are made up by beliefs and not facts aren't going to care one way or the other anyway. Release the information and they'll call it lies, don't release it and they'll claim it's a cover up. Release the study, all of it, and have other medical organizations comment or repeat the study to see if it's valid.

C'mon Rico Suave, at least offer her some of your frequent flier miles.

I was catholic, my boyfriend at the time was catholic, we rationalized it by deciding to get married when we both turned 18. That way it wasn't a sin.


Thank god that didn't happen! Remember kids, 2 mistakes don't make a... Not... Mistake?

/just have the sex and be safe about it.

Do you even need to see the data? Abstinence-only education failed so miserably that any other alternative would result in lower teen pregnancy rates and a reversal of the trend towards Idiocracy.

This. I think that some basic introductory statistics should be mandatory in high school, in fact.

The teenage pregnancy rate in Texas, home of abstinence only education, is proof enough.

You want to know the biggest case study for comprehensive against abstinence-only?

Seriously, how many missionaries are there yet they have teh SOOPAR AIDS!

I have difficulty trusting any source that discusses "peer-reviewed journals" rather than peer-reviewed journals.

It was in mine. You know how much I remember of it? Nothing. Oddly enough, whether or not a study was statistically valid wasn't all that important to me in high school.

That's what they plan on doing, it appears:

FTFA: "Before CDC releases information to the public, it must go through the CDC's scientific clearance process to ensure not only that the underlying data are accurate, but also that 1) it is presented in a manner that is clear and not prone to misinterpretation, and 2) any inferences drawn from the data are defensible," spokeswoman Karen Hunter said.

She also said that all of the data will eventually be released when it is published in a "peer-reviewed journal," which can take as long as one year.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

What? That's almost a commitment! Are you nuts?

I went to Catholic school for the 7th and 8th grade. Ya know, the time when most kids start beating off...I could have used a bit more education in the sex department.

...much better now though.

smokinfoo: The teenage pregnancy rate in Texas, home of abstinence only education, is proof enough.

Do you actually think most who support abstinence-only education actually care about its effectiveness compared to alternatives?

Once they spread the Word, sh*t could splatter everywhere for all they care, it doesn't matter.

If they want to prevent pregnancy, and a whole host of other issues, they should be concentrating on what works best (physical, psychological, and social) to cause an individual to be INTJ/INTP on the MBTI assessment.

Sure, you'll end up with other problems, but I can almost guarantee a 99%+ reduction in the number of unwanted pregnancies and diseases.

/only half kidding...

Consider the source:

The Cybercast News Service was launched on June 16, 1998 as a news source for individuals, news organizations and broadcasters who put a higher premium on balance than spin and seek news that's ignored or under-reported as a result of media bias by omission.

Study after study by the Media Research Center, the parent organization of CNSNews.com, clearly demonstrate a liberal bias in many news outlets - bias by commission and bias by omission - that results in a frequent double-standard in editorial decisions on what constitutes "news."

In response to these shortcomings, MRC Chairman L. Brent Bozell III founded CNSNews.com in an effort to provide an alternative news source that would cover stories that are subject to the bias of omission and report on other news subject to bias by commission.

Attention wingnuts: Just because the media disagrees with you doesn't mean they are biased. It often just means that you are wrong.
