Please don't tell me what I think. I never said we never become responsible. I said that college students are not responsible -- and by that I mean the ones in or near the normal age range for college, 17 to 23. With luck and a little guidance perhaps most of them will grow to be responsible adults but most of them are not there yet. They play; society pays one way or another. You can pretend that is isn't so but you are wrong.

What AM saying is that calling someone's solution a fantasy can be taken as not having respect for their opinion, so don't be surprised if you get the same in return... You didn't do anything wrong or illegal... My overall belief is this... On a scale of 1-10 in terms of respect, if you throw out a 5, you'll most likely get a 5 in return...if you threw out a 9, you'd get a 9 back atchya... Calling someone's solution a fantasy comes across as a 2...So don't get annoyed if the return volley comes back looking like a 2 also... That's all I'm saying...

IMO, making stuff up and pretending that it is what another poster said is a 0 minus. I don't mind not having my opinion dis-respected. I am not here to seek approval from those I disagree with. But at least disrespect my actual opinion and not some strawman.

 I'm not pretending anything and I would never put words or for that matter,anything in your mouth. Under the law,they already "are" adults! Your fantasy is in thinking that they should not be "required" to "act" like adults and make adult decisions.They have the money for cell phones,video games and iPods but they can't afford birth control pills??? You refuse to address this and I know why,it destroys your argument..

I think I did address it. But I will address it again. Perhaps I can rephrase it in a way that you find understandable. You can not "require" anyone to act like an adult. What I think they "should" do is irrelevant. What they actually do is the only thing that matters in the real world. Most college kids are not yet fully mature in their thinking and they will behave irresponsibly. To believe otherwise requires a suspension of belief in reality. The resulting offspring from their irresponsible behavior will, in all likelihood, become a problem for society as a whole. Therefore I would rather see the government pay for birth control pills than obstetric care, food stamps, foster care, etc. for the unwanted babies. Was that any clearer?

Re: Students pinched by birth control pill costs
They are legally adults, but we, with our insistence on abstinence only education, have failed to give them the success skills needed to make adult decisions.
