The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

And let me tell you, it's hard work covering for your ass all the time.
Well, yeah. It is a very fine ass to cover. It should take some work to do so.
Okay, we have gone from AIDS to my ass, and I am getting sort of uncomfortable with the trend.
My thread's the AIDS thread. Nice.Let's see: blood, needles, sex, and death? Sounds like Minearverse to me.

Have there been a lot of needles in the Minearverse? I remember River getting poked a few times.
blood, needles, sex, and death
My nomination for the next Minear thread title.

Ditto. Possibly adding condoms, because they're always funny.
Strega, right now I am checking Buffistas once, maybe twice a day. So I just saw your comments. I am staring at a deadline, but give me a day or two and I may be able to organize my thoughts into a more coherent whole...
Hey, in this country,some think telling teens that to avoid getting knocked up (or stds or vds or whatever the latest term is), they should just abstain. That's really working.
Yeah, and there's a push for American funded AIDS prevention overseas to do likewise. It's pretty terrifying. Uganda (I think) had really been succeeding with this campaign ABC (Abstenaince, Be Faithful, Condom) and now its being questioned by us. Brilliant, just brilliant.
Maybe Tim could have zombies eat the fundies...

I did one of my papers on this last semester. Not surprisingly, out of the countries that teach sex education in school, the US still has the highest rate of teen pregnancy. Sweden, I think, has the lowest. Why? BECAUSE THEY TALK ABOUT SEX! They teach kids that yes, it's for mature people who can handle the consequences, but if you have teh sex, here's any type pf birth control you can get, here's how to use it.
$17 million is being spent on abstinence only programs, most of which are taught in the south. The south was the only region the US that didn't have a more than 20% drop in teen pregnancy rates between 1991 and 2003.
And don't get me started on what those programs get wrong.
In conclusion, I agree with zombies.
