"(but they can . . . even for the most conventional sex)"

I like your little pun!

I think they are losing their "bipartisan" message by donating the money to Obama. Why not donate to send condoms to underprivileged areas or even to schools? The message is lost.

you mean even for the most conservative sex? I think it is wierd to donate it to Obama. Donate it to Planned Parenthood, duh!

um lol xD

Kris, it is at the convention, ergo, conventional! lol

I'm picturing Convention goers filling the condoms with helium, inhaling, and en mass, singing Berry White songs. Is this wrong?

Since when is Planned Parenthood supposed to be bipartisan? (Or, non-partisan?) I thought they always endorse and supported candidates.

By the way, the idea of sex education in schools is weird. I mean, is this curriculum included when you study for your teaching credential? The government is teaching us about sex? Shouldn't it be a private, family matter? Or families that don't want to deal with it can send their kids to a privately taught class, like an SAT prep course or Art Camp, to learn.

Citizen, Liberty, you were there. Was the convention just one big orgy?

Yeah, I think that Planned Parenthood would LOVE to be bipartisan, however, I just don't think it's happening right now. I mean, despite is pro-life stance, McCain voted down a bill that would have provided support for educating teens about preventing unwanted pregnancy and STD's (Obama voted for it). Honestly, the Republican party is just a little too "family values" right now to worry about preventing pregnancy and STD's. My family (Republican) has tried to explain it to me as a form of slut-shaming. Like, if teens choose to have sex before marriage, they need to suffer the consequences, or they will learn that bad behavior can be awarded. So, an unwanted baby or std is like a punishment. Of course it's more of a punishment for the woman (the slut) if there is a pregnancy, which I guess is kind of how they think it should be. Since they also don't think the state should be able to compel men to pay child support for a choice that the woman made. Anyway, this is how my family explains it.

So yeah, many in the GOP aren't really fans of Planned Parenthood. Oh yeah, and then PP is basically an "abortion factory," so why bother working with them anyway?

I like these condoms, this is a very cute fundraising idea!

Love it. And this is the cutest condom wrapper I've ever seen.

Oh my gosh, I want those condoms! I love elephants.

And I totally think that their wrapping is distracting, I hardly even read the article, other than to find out that I can't purchase these for my own.

I think that they should send the money back to sex education programs in schools (like GS said)...kind of interesting they are promoting a candidate. I mean yes, they are pro-choice and all but still- I would think that they would rather the message be more about promoting sex ed than endorsing a candidate.

GS- this is a record- we agree on something haha.

Hey...how do I get smileys on here? Is there a list somewhere? I know the basics but I mean the ones people post of a drinking smiley and one laughing hysterically.

I am off topic sorry.

http://teamsugar.com/group/82779/blog/258833
this is the only list I'm aware of - some people are more creative with their usage than I am.

There is this list too

http://teamsugar.com/group/96509/blog/75432

and on this one they are alphabetized ...
hope I don't offend you steph by posting this one too ... I mean yours works but I like the one that is alphabetized ... makes it easier to find them

Kiki, I had no idea the second existed, so I'm very happy you posted it! Thanks.

YAY!! Thanks guys! I am going to be a smiley queen now.

=:cheer:

Shoot! Do I have to load something to get these to work? (blonde momement)

I love it!

The last thing we need in this world is Republicans making little Republicans.

I kid, I kid!

Fuzzles, sometimes the smileys conspire to make us feel foolish-happens to me way too often.

YW Steph

Is it wrong I want one of those condoms but I don't want to pay.

I thought it was funny that the condom wrapper says "unintended" instead of "unwanted" pregnancies.

stephly, Unfortunately, I don't need a smiley to look or feel foolish!

I hear you.

I want a turtle emoticon.

I always feel awkward doing random emoticons in conversation, but sense you all are ....

hahaha ***since

I get to use this one now: lol

big surprise, I love the witch!

she is cute!

Makes sense that PP would want to help put Sen. Obama in the White House. Democrats funnel a lot of money their way, something like $300 million per year. That revenue would likely increase with Democrats in control of the executive and legislative branches. Follow those dollars.

I like the pickle

the pickle is one of the best ... along with the

Basically, dancing food is funny

Holy fork! I got it! Pardon me while I groove with the banana!

LOL -- at first I thought they were insulting McCain's VP pick (telling her to practice save sex and stop having so many kids that you won't be around to take care of should you secure the office) -- And I was like WOW -- that's bold of them to say -- So yeah the message is pretty lost and yeah they should give the money to Planned Parenthood.

But I guess what they are say is send a message to the GOP but give the money to help Obama secure the office - because we don't want an extreme Pro-Lifer in office. I think that's what they are trying to say but the message is lost.

There ya go fuzzles!

blues,

Hey, I was busy grooming and -ing the

And by that, I mean my Persian cat, not the alternative! LOL

You were grooming and eating your cat?

No. I can't do yoga. If I tried that, I would fall off the couch.

Seriously. Talk about bendable.

I do my best.

"big surprise, I love the witch!"
Steph, are you trying to tell us something?

this got funny

Call the pollution police, because I doubt many will be using these condoms meant to insult. These will just end up as extra trash... way to go, Planned Parenthood.
BTW, sex-after-marriage is not a Republican value. I'd bet not very many Republicans wait until marriage themselves. However you feel about Republican's ACTUAL views on sex, let's not spin the truth.
