I go back and forth on David Beckham. He's certainly goodlooking(in a generic Ken Doll way), but them he openshis mouth and Mike Tyson comes out with a brit accent.

I guess he is black afterall.

LOL, solitaire. Beckham becomes 100% less sexy when he talks. He sounds like a prepubecent boy.

Michelle!!!:

Omg, I was just talking about that with my co-workers. I watched an interview of him online and almost spit out my coffee. I thought something was wrong with the audio b/c I'd never heard him speak before.

No wonder I'd never heard him talking on tv! His voice is terrible but damn that man makes me have wild thoughts.

My previous post was directed toward you too, solitaire! That voice, oh lordy that voice!

Jamba Juice? The name alone sounds gross to me.

That morning after pill is bad news I tell you. When that came out, it seemed as if they put it on the market awfully fast. No long-term research (that I know of). I wouldn't take that shit. Seems like it would make your uterus turn to salt.

JillyBean, the morning after pill has "been out" in various forms for a while. The extra BC pills have been used since the 70s as my mother tells it. It's hormones, what your body makes naturally. It would have the same side effects as BC pills basically. It's nothing new. They didn't create anything magical or unique. It's simply manipulating what your body does naturally which is precisely what all forms of hormone-based contraceptives do.

I would take a very small chance of a blood clot (same as with the pill) over a far more expensive, more risky abortion or even worse, a 1/20 or so chance of having a child I didn't want which is a very expensive mistake. I've taken it once when a condom broke and when I look at my ex today, there is no doubt in my mind that I did the right thing rather than a shot at being tied down to a person I dated at age 19 when my taste in men…no, boys… was questionable at best.

daria, there's nothing natural about, higher risks for blod-clots, 'break-through bleeding' and random 'spotting'.
Birth control has NOT been researched enough since it was first introduced back then. Anything that makes your period go away for over 3 or 4 months is not natural.
I don't care what anyone says, fooling your body into thinking you are pregnant is not healthy.

Why do we need Becks to talk? The things he is good at, or I'd need him to be good at, do not require talking.

Want to know why a proper for of BC hasn't been developed? B/c of the puritanical views of sex and the femal body in this country. And, b/c most of the people who are studying and creating new drugs are men who, obviously, have less of a vested interested in not getting pregnant. We have Viagra, but BC pills can still give you a blood clot. Doesn't sound right, does it? No one is interested in making fool proof BC (and it could be done) b/c deep down in the heart of this country, women are still not equal and we are still viewed as "carriers" and not much more. A friend of mine doesn't want children, no doctor will tie her tubes b/c she might "change her mind." She's 35. Her medical wishes are not granted b/c in this country women do not have full control over their reproductive rights - and not one wants to give us control therefore no one will ever create a viable BC that doesn't kill some of us. They don't care b/c we are not ppl - we are "carriers."

Jilly - The right wingers use an argument similar to yours to deter women from getting birth control. There have been long term studies of women who have been on the pill for nearly 30 years w/o adverse effects. What you have to remember is that everyone's body is different. Depo doesn't cause everyone to stop having their period, the IUD worked for some people. The key is to find what works for you.
