well, this flaja character is certainly the most interesting person to pop up in quite a while.

flaja & radar - seem to have a lot in common. I'm surprised he hasn't chimed in here at all.

You do know how sex works, don’t you? No one can get pregnant without sex. Even with birth control that the woman takes care of herself, she runs the risk that the method used will fail or will have long-term health consequences for her even if it is successful in preventing pregnancy.

I can't believe anyone could possibly think that a woman is giving up control of her body just because she chooses to have sex with someone. The woman makes that choice knowing the possible consequences. That's not losing control or giving up control. That's making an informed decision.

I can't believe anyone could have such antiquated ideas and still expect to be taken seriously. lol

What does that have to do with relinquishing control of her body?

Putting your body at risk of disease, injury or pregnancy isn’t yielding control over it to the actions of someone else?

Having sex means that a woman is giving someone else the opportunity to infect, injure or impregnate her body. By granting such an opportunity the woman is giving up control over her body.

You're not putting yourself at risk if you've made an informed decision. Having made the decision means you've considered the risks and decided that the risks are worth the reward.

Like when I go home tonight and have sex with my husband. He wont be controlling my body. I will. He'll just be pleasuring it.

Thanks Ali - I thought it was just me there for a bit.

Walking down the street is giving someone else the opportunity to infect or injure your body.

So if I infect you with a cold, I'm taking control of your body...by flaja's reasoning of course.

Do you get it now?

Changes nothing. People on Medicare and Medicaid are the first to sue.

Radar re dux.

Bull crap. Well except maybe in your world. My understanding it that sex is a 50/50 relationship and a shared control, not one person "yielding control" over another. That is one whacked out line of thinking. Are you married? Do you have another relationship with a person that you "control"?
