So, I didn’t get the TA job.
I need monies to continue my affluent lifestyle of taking the bus to school from Cloverdale.
So, do you have an awesome job? Something remotely computer related?
Yeah, convince your boss that you need another intern or something.
Hire me, fools!

America’s boned!

Posted by lassam on Wednesday, July 26

So, I was google searching for the wait() system call, and I found a site called “It’s Great to Wait!” about abstinence. I thought to myself, “Oh, this seems hilarious!”, so I thought I’d peruse the site. What I found was actually quite shocking and disturbing. It turns out that abstinence is Florida’s *only* sex-ed policy. Florida teens, instead of getting a balanced sexual education, just get lectures on chastity. No safe-sex, no ‘it’s okay to masturbate’, no ‘this is how you get AIDS’, just ‘no sex for you’.
But it’s not just Florida.. it’s all the other states, too!
Except California, which coincidentally has the lowest teen-pregnancy and STI rates in the U.S…
Here, take a look at two sites..

This site is promoted to Florida youth.. It’s Great To Wait!
This site is promoted to (many) B.C. youth.. sexualityandu.ca

Now, if you had kids, which one would you be more comfortable with them visiting?
