Personally I find the idea of casual sex a misnomer. It makes it sound like something you would do whilst waiting for a bus or between TV shows...
"Oh what to do? Cup of tea or a fuck?"
Casual? give me a break. It is one of the least casual things an adult can do, all that sweating and grunting is never a good look in my book let alone having rip open a foil wrapper with slippery fingers, it's like trying to open those jam pottles after you have opened the butter packet. Then you have all the bother of finding the damned wee thing and slip it into a stretchy bag that is already too big and it's dark and you can hear the drumming of fingernails on the bedside cabinet and the sighs of displeasure from your erstwhile partner while you fumble under the covers then the dog jumps up on the bed and the kids want a drink and...
Casual? I think not. -
OnPoint: Transcription of new Rick Perry…, in reply to James Bremner,
Barry is a committed leftie, he really believes he is doing the right thing, despite the obvious failure of his policies.
As an outsider looking in at the tangled wreck of a once great Nation I can see the bitterness and resentment all too clearly. Obama is hardly a "leftie" by any stretch of the imagination, it is merely a derogatory label hung on the most promising leader America has seen since Kennedy and te stupids destroyed him too.
What is it with middle America? Don't they realise that the American dream has become a Nightmare of their own making?
Hey, you guys asked for the poor and needy, what were you thinking of? eating them?. -

IMO, what Kiwi kids most need is not ethics classes but logic classes. :)
Excellent. Having studied Logic I can see how that would leave kids too confused for sex.

Moral panic this close to an election? hooda thunk it?.
Is this Hair Dunne whipping up support for his oan (sic) party or is "The Don of Darkness" behind this with help from his funny mentalist pals?. -
Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
now that it has become part of thelarge family of inducted verbs,
“What are you doing in there George?”
“I’m working on my column”
“You are doing what?”
“I’m columning, I’m columning”
"did you learn that at school dear?" -
Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Max Rose,
Sodomy and buggery?! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Apparently there are some subtle differences.
Buggery is a Bulgarian hobbyThe term buggery originated in medieval Europe as an insult used to describe the rumoured same-sex sexual practices of the heretics from the Buggre sect.This sect originated in medieval Bulgaria,
Which, inevitably led to An Acte for the punysshement of the vice of Buggerie
The Act defined buggery as an unnatural sexual act against the will of God and man. This was later defined by the courts to include only anal penetration and bestiality.[3] The Act remained in force until its repeal in 1828.
Whereas Sodomy is the act of Shagging Angels
The men of Sodom surround Lot's house, demanding that he bring the angels (who have the appearance of men) out, so that they can "know" them.
These days, of course, everything is messed up and higgledy piggledy, as Garth might say and Bulgarian Angels no longer have the appearance of men.

Still interested in how you find it though. -
Field Theory: Nous voulons que les Tricolores, in reply to Jeremy Andrew,
I do like the pumas shirt,
I quite liked the "Prisoners Uniforms" preferred by a group of their fans. ;-)

You might want to learn some constitutional law.
Nah, that’s what Graeme Edgeler’s for. I’ll stick to Solar Power, Networked media and such ;-)
But I still think everybody, including non lawyers, should be looking hard at this, whether they understand or not. It’s amazing that te Herald can stir up more vitriol about sex education than an abuse of power on this scale.
