What is your opinion about contraceptive methods?
I believe it is very important for human beings to experience pleasure, and sex is a great source of it, we've done it since we were literally monkeys, so it's a big deal that we can have intercourse without ugly consecuences such as STDs (sexually transmitted deseases) and more importantly, unplanned pregnancies which can impact many people's lives.
To avoid getting pregnant, our freemarket society offers many methods, most of them though, are focused on women only. Pills, hormones, patches, implants, etc. Most of these methods imply a direct responsibility on women and it's my understanding that this issue concerns both sexual partners, so I think these methods should evolve and be more in tune with the way things are now.
What is your opinion about the military?
In general, I believe they're obsolete. I'm not saying they shouldn't exist, I just think the military-industrial complex is a very perverse force in our current society. A monster that feeds on war, death and destruction of what's left of our world. In an ideal world, they'll only act as helpers in natural catastrophies and whenever help was needed in terms of preserving life in our planet, but hey, I bet that's too much of a dream these days.

I think we should copy Costa Rica's decision of deleting the military. It's better for government budget and also you can't be called up for military service!!
ResponderBorrarI believe that the responsibility with contraceptives should be on the part of men, in general almost all contraceptive methods involve hormones and living many years with hormones is not healthy, also it is very uncomfortable and brings a lot of consequences
ResponderBorrarteacher
ResponderBorrarI really like your opinion on these issues, I must emphasize the one that talks about the soldiers
I have same opinion about military. I thinl we have same way of thinking
ResponderBorrarRegarding the issue of contraceptives I think people should be aware of the conceptual methods that exist for men
ResponderBorrarI think that the line that Eisenhower established on the Military Industrial Complex should end, I think it is a practice that only seeks war, and that does not benefit anyone
ResponderBorrarIn interesting know the opinion of the people in this areas. I am agree with your opinion about the military.
ResponderBorrari think we have to burn everything and everyone...(that chapter of the Simpson is very good)
ResponderBorrar
ResponderBorrarThe military is a negative monster in this society.
Hi Teacher!
ResponderBorrarI think is very important what you say about co-responsability in contraceptive methods, usually society assing all the responsability to woman, and that is unfair, as you said, this is a topic that concerns both sexual partners.
Greetings!
I agree with your opinion about the military, no doubt that the concept has almost become obsolete uwu
ResponderBorrarWe must stop spending so much money on the armed forces.

ResponderBorrarI would like the military not to exist, but it is very utopian:(
I think military is a very paradoxal concept : making war to achieve peace...
ResponderBorrar
ResponderBorrarIt's a big one! I love your thinking about contraceptive methods
