[QUOTE="ElZilcho90"] [QUOTE="Franken_Berry"]Are you implying that I was bragging?

Alright, I'm going to try to post with some more civility this time. :D
If you, or anyone else for that matter, chooses to have sex before marriage, that's your thing. I personally don't believe it's the right thing to do, but that's just my personal beliefs. However, I can't feel sympathy for a person who knocks up their girlfriend/is worried about the possibility of pregnancy. Nothing personal, I just don't feel very sympathetic, due to the choice you/others made.
Don't be ignorant. They made a choice to use birth control so obviously they are making the choice to protect themselves, and everytime one has sex the goal is not to have a child, now if they didn't use any protection at all I can see not having sympathy for them. Say it is the same scenario with a married couple who also are using protection because they aren't finacially ready for a child, would you feel sympathy for them if they got pregnant by accident? If so, what is the difference here? Without bringing the religious implications into it please.
I do feel some sympathy for those who are married and not financially ready for a child but get pregnant anyway. For them the matter is simply financial, and family and friends are much more able to help them through their difficulties. However, my lack of sympathy for those who are unmarried comes from the fact that I think it is much better to not have sex at all before marriage. It effects relationships immensely, and of all of my friends who have had sexual relationships before marriage, they all either regret their previous sexual activity (even if they married that partner) or they do not have good relationships. Naturally, that does not mean that everyone will fit into these categories, but I don't think that the majority of people who have sexual relations before marriage realize the implications of what they are doing. Besides the physical problems that can arise (namely pregnancy and STDs), there are severe emotional problems that can also arise. I see it as immaturity when people do not fully consider such consequences. I feel very little sympathy for people just being immature, lacking the self control to wait, and not thinking of how such things will affect the other person involved. I see sex before marriage as being entirely self-fulfilling, and therefore it is centered on greed. I am not sympathetic towards people who are too busy fulfilling their own needs to worry about what is best for them and those around them.
I realize that this sounds incredibly insensitive, but it is an opinion that comes from seeing how such relationships and even pornography can hurt families years after the fact. Sexual relationships are not to be taken lightly.
