Well, heck, then it should be easy for you to produce a few posts where people here have claimed to be infallible and/or too smart to ever be incorrect about the truth of a reported news story.
And you still haven’t answered my question: why all the attitude?
Geez, from his user name you’d think it was obvious 
Huh. At my high school, we had yearbooks to remember one another by.
I did not say they are human trash. I said, “I am going to go out on a limb and bet […] these children will end up being human trash.”
Prove wrong, fetuses. Prove me wrong.
And I’m pretty sure that national news sources don’t really give a shit about these kids and the kids they’re having. I have no idea why this story is considered newsworthy enough that everyone has to be exposed to it. It’s just like that rash of kidnapped white girls that were all over CNN when little black girls go missing every day and can barely get the local news to run a story between traffic and weather.
So you are calling 90% of humans around the world throughout human history morally irresponsible for having kids? Only for a brief moment of history in a small part of the world have people delayed having children until they were nearing the end of their childbearing years and had the thing we consider essential (a separate room for the kid, a car, money to buy lots of kid-specific stuff) etc.
That’s Just… “Faintly Ridiculous”. 
OK, ya got me.
Agreed, that teenage girls getting pregnant isn’t a story. A possible cabal of girls sexing up homless guys in a group pact to get pregnant before high school ends? That has a better case to be actual news.
As Telperien correctly observed, the word you’re after is “misandry”, and I seriously doubt, juve, whether you’re in any way qualified to pronounce on my having a problem or needing help. That’s setting aside any considerations of pots and kettles, you understand. I merely choose not to believe that you’d be able to offer any meaningful diagnosis of my psychological state from a lengthy in-person interview, let alone over the internet.
RNATB has admitted to not being entirely serious, but were that not the case, That would be Just Fucking Retarded indeed to make up some wacked-out theory of masses of teenage girls all being raped at about the same time, all winding up pregnant, and all finding themselves unable to report the rapes. It struck me as a real reach to take this ordinary, everyday story (OK, not really) of a bunch of girls pushing the boundaries of “feckless” to a whole new extreme, and finding a desperate spin to put on it that manages to find that actually a man’s to blame all along. Excuse me for objecting.
I’m pretty sure that the 24-year-old “homeless” guy was essentially a couch-surfer, not some crazy bearded drunk living under a bridge, and he’s only the putative father of one out of the seventeen.
Wow. Just… wow.
When I was in high school (graduated in 1985), we had no visibly pregnant girls in our HS, nor did any mysteriously go to visit a great-aunt during the year (at least none that I knew of, and that item of gossip would have been all over town). I know of one girl who was pregnant senior year, and she had an early abortion as she knew she’d made a huge mistake already and wasn’t about to compound it.
Not only would it have been somewhat shameful to come up pregnant, but worse (at least to a teenager), it would have been incredibly lame. “You stupid bitch, haven’t you even HEARD of the pill? Or a condom? What an idiot.” :rolleyes: sez the kidz.
YMMV, of course.
You’re not excused. Getting all that out of one sentence of admitted “completely groundless speculation” is a symptom of a much larger problem, and you don’t need to be a psychologist to see that. I hope you get over all this bitterness somehow.
Wait a minute- wasn’t Malacandra on the “what a stupid idea- try to spin it to blame the men” side of this? Are you sure you’re pissed at the right person?
It wasn’t admitted to be completely groundless speculation at the time, and castigating someone for wildly blaming random men for the feckless doings of a bunch of immature women on no evidence was hardly a wild stretch, and you still haven’t demonstrated any qualifications for psychoanalysing me, and I hope you grow some maturity somehow.
I’ve been reading about this story for a couple days now.
My main problem w/ the story is that they go from saying “Some teens made a pact to get pregnant” to saying all 17 pregnant girls in the high school were involved. That speaks to me as the pregnant chicks jumping on the easy way out to explain their bad decision.
Do I doubt maybe 4-7 girls decided to do this? Not really. But the remainder were probably just jumping on the bandwagon for an easier way to break their news to the community/parents.
The one I feel really bad for is the girl who decided to screw a 24 year old homeless dude(I’m assuming he’s sleeping on someone’s couch at least, not toothless digging through garbage). I hope her parents are supportive, because it sounds like it’s gonna be like getting blood from a turnip if she tries to get child support from him. 
I remember someone on the boards once mentioned that some teenage mothers are actually quite reasonable in that they get pregnant at a time when their extended family is still alive to help with child care and they qualify for benefits as teenage mothers e.g. council housing. It’s still difficult not to want to box their ears for compounding their problems and likely contributing to a cycle of poverty.
Like a few others here, even one pregnancy in my graduating class would have caused a ruckus. Well, one brought to term. There was an abortion or two, although, honestly, I’d say not even half the grade was sexually active. Mostly squarely middle class kids with a few on the low end of the scale and a few better off, but everyone was quite smart and ambitious so having a kid would have definitely been seen as a stupid move.
Wait a minute…we have contraceptive dart guns, now?
Why the hell wasn’t I informed!?
Their ancestresses also tended to get married before or shortly after getting pregnant.
Um, what? It was in the same post, which has not been edited. Since you’re either foaming at the mouth or not even trying to conduct a serious debate, I won’t bother to address your other “points”.
Actually you’re right about that, which will teach me to post in haste, I guess. What I meant was that in the post that sparked me off, RNATB didn’t actually admit to making shit up for fun since everyone else was, which he subsequently admitted to. My bad.
Now you can lose the scare-quotes and deign to address my other “points”, child. 'Cos, you know, serious debating doesn’t consist of harping on one error by the opponent and ignoring everything else he says. But of course you’d know that.
