    So you're doubling down on this, great.

    I have trouble believing you honestly don't understand what he meant, and even more trouble with your abstinence argument.

    Just because of the freak chance that a condom might break, or birth control might fail, does not mean people shouldn't have sex unless they want to/can support bringing a baby to term and raising it. That is head in the sand, pie in the sky, denial of basic human nature and the reality of life style thinking that ends up resulting in more unwanted pregnancies and abortions.

    People should have the right to sex with condoms and/or birth control, which, for all intents and purposes, all but eliminate the possibility of pregnancy. Continue playing the basso role all you want, and pointing out the exception as the rule. It won't get you far though.

    Pacquaio doesn't need to wear condoms. He can feed the entire Philippines with his 1.4 Billion pesos career money.

    Wow, even the most bible toting, waiting for marriage types I know acknowledge sex is more frequently for recreation than for procreation.

    If Manny Pacquiao and Bobrek think you shouldn't be having sex unless you already have a nursery all ready to go then I am o.k with them doing that in their own lives, but I don't think society needs to be held to that standard at all.

    As far as governments providing condoms for those too poor to afford them, it's literally pay pennies today or pay thousands later.

    who the **** cares?
    All I care is to see him fight gayweather..

    Pacquiao >>>> Gayweather

    If this article is true okay he's a bit loony on the religious side but compared to security guard, wife beating floyd he looks a lot more sane.

    Every time you get into a car there is a statistical chance you could be steamrolled by a moron in an SUV who ran a red light.

    So, people not willing to accept the responsibility of being plastered all over the parkway should not engage in illicit motor vehicle operation.

    +1. You can talk about idealized religious arguments all you want, but it's a huge practical issue. No matter how many holy books of whatever sort you thump, you will not keep people from having sex. About the last 32,000 years of human history show this, starting with cave paintings of vaginas and moving until we have about twice the population on Earth that it can reasonably sustain in a healthy way (estimates are we should shoot, no pun intended, for 3 billion, instead of 7 headed quickly toward 10 billion.)

    As for the God argument, nothing makes me more angry than religious arguments that are oblivious to the empirical truth: "God put a brain in your head." Use it, or don't keep other people from using theirs at least.

    Well, dude, many of us have a fallback position in case of that statistically insignificant "eventuality." And as rational adults who do not want children, we can agree: not to have children.

    (Hint: it involves a minimally invasive clinical procedure. Miss Manners' etiquette suggests splitting the fee, right down the middle.)

    Some one needs to slip some sterilization meds in the communion wafers to keep some of these crazies from reproducing.

    I kept reading this thinking it was a joke but now I see it wasn't. You don't realize that many people have sex for pleasure and not to produce children, and would therefore choose to take precautions against it?

    I also know that everytime I drive in a car that I could get in a wreck and die. Does that mean I shouldn't wear a seat belt and just drive as reckless as possible? Did someone have to grant me the right to wear that seatbelt? :confused:

    Edit: FML, I just read moe's post and realized he used the car example before me. Fail. :(

    So, a Catholic boxer holds the same views as his church in a predominantly Catholic country and he gets ridiculed on CF's D&D? Surprising!

    Everyone should do their selves a favor and read up on the church's teaching about human sexuality before spouting off in this thread.

    I'm actually quite surprised at this board's attempt to try and understand an issue before critiquing a religious group's beliefs.

    So, a Dominican baseball player holds the same views about cockfighting as his countrymen and gets ridiculed on the BBS? Surprising!

    Everyone should do themselves a favor and read up on cultural practices regarding cockfighting before spouting off in this thread.


    (You guys really are making this easy)

    Dude, you do know this is A) offensive to Catholics in calling the Eucharist a wafer and B) suggesting that we as a religious group be stopped from reproducing.

    Really disrespectful.
