Questionable Decision

Hey, they expect their money's worth. Perry turned out to be a great investment.

I do so wish that Dubya was still governor of Texas. How a good governor could become such a complete failure as president is a mystery to me.

 

Why is the governor able to act as a dictator on this issue?

 

How much did they contribute?

 

I already knew. I just wanted to see if you read your own source.

I'm sure that $6000 they contributed bought a lifetime commitment from Perry.

 

What's this?

Innuendo with no facts? Isn't that a little like malicious gossip?

I can't believe it. Tell me it ain't so.

 

Are you against the vaccine for being mandatory or for being expensive? If it were a vaccine against testicular cancer, would it still be too expensive?

 

Daisy,

Isn't one of the considerations here that this kind of cervical cancer is one that is brought on by sinful choices? Testicular cancer is not.

Furthermore, should a vaccine such as this be mandated? Since when does the government have the right to mandate this? What happened to medical issues staying between a woman and her doctor?

 

This is quite an unbelievable, sexist and ignorant statement, particular coming from someone who calls himself a "pastor".

Note to mods...I said the statement is ignorant, not the person who made it.

 

Did either of you see anywhere where I said I agreed with the argument?

 

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes.

The perpetration and perpetuation of evil is evil - especially when forced on children.

 

Larry, then do you agree with it?

If I misunderstood your position, please accept my apologies. If I did not, my statement stands.

 

I realize the enormity of this problem. I realize the fear that people experience as they face their mortality. However, this inoculation does not address mortality, rather it protects against a risk of un-protected sex.

But, should we mandate inoculation upon children for feat that they will be promiscuous like 'we were?'

 

Larry,

When I disagree with you, I let you know.

But, this time, I agree. And I let you and your attackers know.

This vaccine is driven by the promiscuity of America and the profits of big pharmaceuticals.

 

Both of you jumped on a statement of fact. What I said is, in fact, one of the objections that some have raised. I didn't say I agree with the objection. In fact, I don't agree with it. But neither of you bothered to find that out before jumping on me for something I did not say. It is a little troublesome to me.

Daisy raised an issue, and I asked a question to demonstrate why some people are concerned.

Personally, I think the vaccine could be helpful. However, we do not know what the long term affects are. And I think it only addresses two strains of HPV that cause about 30% of cervical cancer. (Or perhaps its 70%; I can't remember which number goes with which end.)

I do have a problem mandating it, and I do have an issue with long term effects.

The bottom line: If people follow the biblical standards of morality, we don't need this vaccine. Should we vaccinate against things that originate with sin, whether the fault of the woman or not? I guess so ... But there is always a better option. Obedience to God's plan.

 

FACT: People have sex. Always have, always will.
FACT: We have the means to prevent cancer. How the cancer occurs matters not. We can protect our daughters & granddaughters from this deadly disease.
FACT: Heads in the sand and hopes that our kids remain virgins doesn't mean they should not be protected if we have the means to do so.
