If you agree that our prison system does not focus on rehabilitation then it's strange you assume it won't work. We know it can work because you can look at countries where the focus of prisons is rehab and see lower recidivism rates. We also can look at the fact that our prison population boomed when we stopped

I am assuming these were men in the American prison systems? If so, they are irrelavant examples because our prisons DO NOT bother with rehabilitation but solely punishment and stats show that such a method is ineffective. And I never said don't imprison criminals? Do not conflate "rehabilitating" with "gets to run

Coaxing and convincing for every instance of sex? Really? Look, if every instance of sex in your life needed to be coaxed and needled outta you then you need new partners.

How about if I'm interested, I'll approach you and if I look like I'd like to "cut you off at the knees" for talking to me you just keep walking on by? That would give me something to smile about.

And people question my proclivity for staying home always.

You would rather have more instances of crime and a higher recidivism so long as you can feel better about it?

In pink you mean?

It's called class, you yokel!

Rewarding- whether with praise or some other thing- is proven to reinforce and cause wanted behavior to reoccur. It's one of the best ways to bring about any desired behavioral changes. So no, it isn't bad advice.

Are we certain Rush isn't just a troll?

Also... why is he saying "senator" like it's an insult? Thirty six percent of our presidents were senators before being elected president.

Wait... we have laws stating atheists can not hold public office so how do atheists "run" things? Also, we need to fight for what is wrong? What a strange call to arms.

No, there is another square: Abortion = rape. Source: pro-life commercial featuring a crying woman equating rape with abortion. Yes really.

Only if you keep teaching that idea. Social norms are not hard truths and can change over time. It used to be the case women couldn't wear pants/short skirts/etc because people would judge them badly. Even the views on tattoos and piercings you mentioned have shifted drastically. Why conform to old, bad ideas?
