The conservative Washington Times wrote an article bashing women who have pre-marital sex, arguing that men won't marry most women who have sex before marriage. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss.

3. LOL. It's why buy the cow when the milk is free, not why buy the

milk when the cow is free.

5. What if you want steak?

Ok, not the best analogy..



This issue is mind-bogglingly stupid. Like the penis, the vagina is, in fact, reusable. There is no kelley blue book of vagina values. Having sex does not diminish any value, like mileage diminishes the value of a car.

What diminishes value is treating people like auctionable, durable or consumable goods, and thereby diminishing their self-worth.

7. My post had more to do with the woman making the saying

wrong than any comment on the durability or usability of sexual organs. For me, the topic is academic. I haven't had sex since August, 1990 because of my diabetes. I used to think I was strange, but after talking to most of my neighbors for years, about 80 per cent of them don't have sex either, and most of them are not diabetic. No interest anymore. Just trying to finish my train ride, and rest.

9. Sure, I wasn't specifically targeting you with that.

You were correct in straightening out the statement.

My second paragraph was more general 'I can't believe this is an issue for some people' sort of commentary.

6. I agree with this article

Now i have to go out and crank up the model T, or i will be late for my job at the buggy whip factory. :sarcasm:

8. I don't buy a car without a test drive or two

As Ford used to say, "The quality goes in before the name goes on."
