It involves pre-teen girls and sex!

Watch our report and see the controversy!

WTF... Seriously, what the hell are the statistics of virgin 18 year old females??!!! 25 year old virgin females?!!

Men without multiple partners at the same ages?

WHAT F'ING CONTROVERCY??

You get a vaccine - you never again have to worry about a particular cancer?

WTF are the statistics of "sluts" vs. "good girls" and STDs?

F' the news.

1. Don't you find it hard to believe that
people who claim to be "pro-life" are against giving this vaccine to young women? I can only assume that when we come up with a vaccine for AIDS that they will be against that too!

2. I'm just so furious - the agenda against women is so transparent.

3. 3700 deaths by cervical cancer a year.
Parents don't want to give to children because they will have sex.

Fu...ng too stupid to live. I hope one of the girls grows up and charges her parents with murder if they deny her vaccination.

6. Even if you believe that having sex outside of marriage is wrong,
do you really think it should be punishable by death?

7. Hey! "Oooo, no... I might get cervical cancer someday..."
Yep, that was the FIRST thing I thought about when, young and horny, I had my first opportunity to go for the big one. Yes, indeedy. I just held up my hands, shoved him away a little, and said, "waitaminnit, waitaminnit.... lemme think here... ummmm.... lesseee... uh, HANG ON THERE! We can't do this! I might end up with cervical cancer someday thirty years from now! Let's stop right now and go take a cold shower and go bowling, instead!"


Sure I did.

exasperatedly,
Bright

4. That's not the only one that's been ignored
As far back as the 1970's we knew that thc might shrink some tumors but the DEA shut down the study and the idea pretty much disappeared till Spanish researchers, led by Dr. Manuel Guzman of Complutense University produced similar results on their own without having access to the original study first, so fully independent.

This is something we should have verified one way or another decades ago.

5. It's criminal.
But nobody has put the word out that men can get it, too. And it takes a laser to the penis to get rid of it. That might turn some heads.

8. What is bothering me
is that even the TV doctors on cable shows have been giving the incorrect answer about why girls should get it at age 11. It is not just because it is better to get it before any exposure, it's not that they thought 11 was the best age to get them before they had sex.

Parents would think "Not my daughter, she won't need it for years". That could be true, most girls start having sex much later.

The reason they picked age 11 is because in testing that was the middle of the age group where they got the best immune response and thus will get most lasting protection. It was lower in the 15/16 year old age group.

TV talking doctors should know that. If it was to just get them before sexual activity no age would be given, they'd say get it before you have sex.

Parents would feel much better about taking their 11 year old in if they knew it was because that was the age the body reacts to give it the best lifetime immunity...not because they might have sex at 12.

9. What I want to know is
Edited on Fri Jun-30-06 02:11 AM by KT2000
what if the virgin bride or faithful wife gets the papiloma virus from a philandering husband or groom who has sown his wild oats??
Without protection she gets the virus and is likely accused of being a tramp!
Gotta love religion.
