Will stick this here as it probably is a Republican Evangelical thing, I know Rick Perry is a very strong believer.

U.S. Spent $1.4 Billion To Stop HIV By Promoting Abstinence. Did It Work?

The short answer,
No not one little bit.

The long answer
Fourteen of the countries in the study had received funding from PEFPAR between 2004 and 2013. Eight of the countries hadn't.

The results were clear: PEPFAR funding wasn't associated with changes in young people's choices about sex. Bendavid and his team could find no detectable differences in the rates of teenage pregnancies, average number of sexual partners and age at first sexual intercourse in countries that had received PEFPAR money compared with those that hadn't.

It takes more than billboards or radio messages to change people's behavior, Bendavid says. "I think the decisions about sexual behavior and preferences are much deeper," he says. "They're much more deeply rooted."

You know you could put this in the gun thread for all those who that that by passing a law (piece of paper) will somehow change behavior.

Hollywood shows sex and gun violence. DUH!

Hollywood PROMOTES sex and gun violence. DUH!

And then some revered icon of entertainment(Matt'Jason Bourn'Damon)makes the disingenuous, hypocritical statement that all guns in America should be banned and confiscated.

Can't have it both ways, Bubba.

Without Hollywood, rates of sex would decrease until, very quickly, the rate of sex would be virtually 0%! DUH! Darn promoters of things for which there is no biological imperative ,let alone any other imperative. Occupy Hollyweird!

No they promote movies which make their wallets fat upon people whose eyes are blind to the universal truth: profit motive.

The Donald asks the Ruskies for election help against Hillary!

America, I have met Russians, I have even gone to school with them.
I must also add that some of the Russians that I have met in my life
were communists! Now we have communists here on the boards, and they
are very nice people. Also most of the Russians that I have met are
wonderful people. I am absolutely certain that if the Donald should
ever ask them for any kind of help, they will be more than happy to
comply with his wishes. I say be not afraid to just ask them for help
at any time. I am sure that the Russian government is more than ready
to jump right in to help their America friends with any election help!
I say good on the Donald for furthering Russian/American relations.



edit:
Golly them Ruskies are just such nice people!

This is Putin's take

Will Hillary Clinton plunge the world into nuclear apocalypse?

I'm sure he will be very happy to give the full powers of the State to Mr. Trump to defeat her.

I only remember that the US in the late sixties had a lot of problem with riots.
Riots that the police couldn't handle properly.

I was involved with those, and those in the 1970's..

The New York City Police response was 'effective' in 'containing'. Not the later ones. When police were ordered by a NYC Mayor to 'Stand Down. He was, of course, defeated in the next election.

BTW: Rioting and burning down sections of a city. Have a long history in the USA. Guess we will now have another 'Long Hot Summer'. With the results the same.

Right, same thing happened in NYC in 2003, where the police were outnumbered by over 200 to 1, naturally chaos ensued (*).

(*) there was no widespread chaos, indeed "Since most perishable items were going to spoil anyway, many restaurants and citizens simply prepared what they could and served it to anyone who wanted it, leading to vast block parties in many New York City neighborhoods."
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Limbaugh claiming lefties to get very violent if Trump wins.
As a left-handed, am offended; will be looking at where I can move to, not violence, should Trump win.

Well it's funny that as over here ATM a lot of U.S. citizens (as well as your highend celebrities) are checking out the property market over here as well as checking up on citizenship requirements, but you'll need to join the end of the cue as there are quite a few in front of you. ;-)

Cheers.

Same up here as well. There was a big protest over the math
and cyphering test, but Canada insisted that every applicant
for citizenship must know how to count way up to 12!

Canadians are funny like that....

Isn't it curious that the 'leaving' celebs always check out Canada and Australia when they make their moving threats, but never Mexico...........

I know friends who live in Mexico from not only
Canada but the US as well, even folks from California!
They all seem to love it down there. The ones I know
live on the west coast!

Isn't it curious that you know what everybody's thinking?
I have heard from a number of 3 or more rightist sources that immigration from Mexico (illegal or otherwise?) is at net zero. Why? Because conditions have apparently improved. Improved more than enough to get several to return.
Would I consider Mexico? Yes, and I believe they'd consider me for my talents, but I do not speak Spanish nor do I relish the idea of an even warmer climate than where I now live.
Having been born just the NY side of the Canadian border (no, no the Falls) and Being from the southern tier of NY for nearly 30 years and given that several in Canada speak English, it would be a more logical choice for me. I am sure, however, that they have plenty already there that can do what I do plus those that wish to emigrate there at the same time as me would include others that can do what I can do.
So on and so forth.

If my independent study of 1st Year Latin (that I stretched into 1.5 years) helps me figure out what some of that means, my friend, it may not be so bad and so we shall not have to wonder why. :)
