SCARY PERRY DOESN'T not give straight answers ever about many things.

HE allowed it because he appointed my step dad...Dr. McDonald who was the suspect of crimes. My case was a huge cover up and this Good Ol Boy state made sure I couldn't win my case illegally. Perry lied to me about taking action! Google or you tube Amy Charron please.
This guy clearly says that "I don't give a crap about facts and statistical data.

@initvesa This seems to miss a rather important point. If you steroids testing policy is I'll thought out you waste a bit of money, if your sex education policy doesn't work you have the 3rd highest rates of teen pregnancy in the USA. Why can't the abstinence program be replaced? BTW in regard to motive I would say abstinence progra have more to do with orthodox religious taboos about sex than they do with genuine public health administration.
This is pretty stupid of the governor "do you have a statistic abstinence works?" here's a statistic no girls ever gotten pregnant without having sex. A better question is "is abstinence realistic?" probably not but I agree that should be the goal after all there is no such thing as safe sex only safer sex
Rick perry have a thick tongue,Moses in Bible had a thick tongue too, don't effect the leadership, Rick perry bring restore in Texas even in the time of economical disaster in America, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul etc in the GOP doesn't have any thing to specify that they accomplished in the past years while live in this country. Choosing them is like a experiment,hope that they might do some miracle to restore America,Why not Rick perry? He proved that He can restore what ever He touch.
Seriously: is this a comedy or is this real?? It seems like a comedy/sitcom series with the people laughing in the background and Rick Perry giving incredibly ridiculous anwers!?!
An average catholic republican in a nutshell: "Think of the children. Teach them abstincence and convert them to christianity. Sex is a horrible and lustful sin that goes against my religion! Think of the children!"
If you tell a teenager not to have sex, they will still have sex. It is best to advise they not have sex and teach them how to protect themselves from pregnancy and STD/Is. The sex is inevitable. Is this not extremely basic logic???
@KTdarin I'm not saying an entire sex ed curriculum should be say "Just don't have sex because sex causes sti's pregnancy..." so the idea of safER sex should be known because there is no way with today's culture and media that teens (of which I am one) are going to stay abstinent. Too many think "Aww it won't happen to me." So deffinitly, they should know about and know to us a condom or other form but also know that abstinence is THE ONLY %100 sure form of birth control and STI protection.(1/2)
@initvesa, I get what you're saying. Really any program that yields higher than expected results is considered money well spent. However, based on the percentages, it would seem Texas is NOT exceeding or even reaching it's goals, therefore the money is NOT being well spent. Additionally, there should be an equal amount of money being spent to educate kids about safe sex.
@DesertKitsune Note how I only said it's "logically valid" not that it's sound. However, what you are saying may be true but in the state of Texas it would almost be political suicide to teach "safe sex" over "abstinence." Here is something I do not completely understand: why must money be spent of "safe sex education"? Doesn't it only take 5 minutes of explaining from a parent for proper safe sex education or are parents too deluded to be able to do so?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't know, this man seems to be making a valid point: educational programs don't typically work well anyway and if the abstinence program is making the expected or higher than expected return then it's money well spent; that is, any return on any educational program in Texas does not yield a high return to begin with. BTW, are we talking about highest rates in absolute terms or relative terms? If it's absolute terms then it should be expecte for Texas is a big state.
Except that's wrong. Sexual education programs that teach about contraceptives like condoms, birth control, etc. and cover other topics like STD/STI prevention, same-sex relationships, healthy relationships etc. like they have in California are way more effective than what Texas has. In 2010, 35 babies were born for every 1,000 female teenager in California. In Texas, 101 babies were born for every 1, 000. The numbers speak for themselves:
@ElDeclan Are you saying it's wrong because it's ineffective? Of course, the "abstinence education" does teach about relationships even though it probably should not if they were truly being conservative. 101 vs 35: Only a 2x difference on the same order of magnitude is still not that significant if you think about it., almost similar to 5 vs 10.
Yes, it is wrong because it is ineffective. To pretend that it IS effective does an injustice to the tax payers, to the students and to the teachers. Abstinence-only education DOES NOT WORK. There is no scientific proof that it does. I really don't see the relevance of your comment. Even if we went by population, California has about 36 mil people; Texas has 24 mil so your arguments about money return are dumb. Also, 101/35 =/= 2, it's closer to 3.
@ElDeclan If abstinence education produces say a 5% difference then it could be argued to be statistically significant so "money is not entirely wasted." I am not arguing with you over how things should be but what governments might think. Is preventing teen pregnancy the most dire thing wanted by Texans? Probably not. Are other programs MORE ineffective? Most likely. You may be correct that it's money wasted but by your logic ALL those other programs should be cut as well.
A 5% difference compared to what? No sexual education at all? Yes, abstinence only education, which is what Perry advocates, and what we're arguing over here, is probably better than no sexual education, but that is not the point. The point is that abstinence only education is vastly inferior to all other sexual education programs. Finally, your last point is just... out of the blue. By my logic, all other programs should be scrapped? Why? I think you missed the point, my friend.
@ElDeclan So what if it's inferior to other sexual education types? I am saying in conservative Texas all other types of sexual education are politically and morally indefensible positions so that will never be accepted by the populace. Any type of sexual education in school is a big infringement of parental rights to begin with in the minds of most people there so yes, to most conservatives abstinence education probably should be abolished but not for your reasons.
@initvesa On my last point: most school programs are huge wastes of money. That "check for steroid" example is a good one: all those money spent and 20 cases found. If abstinence education should be abolished because of ineffectiveness then the steroid program should be ahead in line to get cut first. Hence "by your logic" many programs should be cut. Should the abstinence program be replaced? Not gonna happen? Can it abolished? Maybe, but the core motive probably is not effectiveness.
@initvesa I am sorry, but you are wrong. Countries which begin safe sex ed earlier and more casually have the lowest teen pregnancy rates, while countries who start later and don't necessarily teach safe sex have higher rates. Do a google search for "teen pregnancy rate vs education site:.edu" on google. On your other point... this is about rates and percentages rather than solid numbers. They are proportions, and if you dont understand, try finishing high school.
@reuntes No need to be condescending. I was *asking* whether if they were proportions or not. Again, you are making a strawman argument. I am not saying it's more effective than "safe sex" education, only that the man is being logically correct when he says it's "money well spent" as the numbers beat the average expected return for any educational program.
@initvesa It is a fact that it doesnt work. he was presented with facts and chose to just ignore them, citing "personal experience". FYI, personal experience on a wide reaching issue simply isnt valid.
@TorMatthews It probably doesn't work, but try telling that to the Republican Base. He will probably be out of office in a jiffy if he allowed non-abstinence based sex education in school.
@hectorsalinasisback "Imperialist Wars..." WOW, just wow! American denouncing real war reasons, wow. I hope for the sake of my 3 Billion plus fellow human beings that earn less than $2 a day and the 1 Billion permanently undernourished, that you and your fellow country people vote for Ron Paul and let rid of your worker extorting 36 million human starved a year capitalist world order. YANKEEs GO HOME!☭
The irony is that Perry is much like Obama; a Republicrat pro-war liberal who would rather spend billions in U.S. tax dollars on imperialist wars in the middle east that don't benefit America and are part of a bigger plan to form a one world government and eventual one world currency. Those who live near Perry know that he has been caught many times in compromising situations with men. It's unknown whether Perry is now gay or just bisexual, but he pretends to oppose the very group he's part of..
if you are confronting them in person they will try and shout you down, if you are weaker than they are like the 88 yr. old woman from California they will try and physically knock you down.
They will try and justify deviate behavior with deviate behavior..
What a load of bullshit! Basically he's saying that if abstinence education is reaching 'some' young people then it's worth it. Hello village idiot, remember the first amendment? Separation of church and state! Religion has no place in public education! If you want to teach abstinence to your children, then send them to a private religious institution! Abstinence is not education, it is the absence of education. Third highest teen pregnancy rate in the country! And this ass believes that those
Well first of all they have the right to learn about protection second even people who do chose to wait till marriage still need to learn about birth control methods so marryed couples can enjoy each others bodys and still plan when to start a family.
FECAL SEX About 80% of gays admit to licking and/or inserting their tongues into the anus of partners and thus ingesting medically significant amounts of feces. Those who eat or wallow in it are probably at even greater risk. In the diary study,5 70% of the gays had engaged in this activity--half regularly over 6 months. Result? --the "annual incidence of hepatitis A in...homosexual men was 22 percent, whereas no heterosexual men acquired hepatitis A."
@united101usa Lesbians also have the lowest rate of STDs out of all groups of people, significantly lower then heterosexual women.
So... by your logic... all women should dump their husbands for eachother? Okay.
(Also do you really think heterosexual couples don't stick their tongues in eachother's orifices? Naiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive wishful thinking at its finest, just like the deluded moron in this video.)
I can attest to the fact that most young people who are abstinent, like me, aren't because they want to be... there is nothing wrong with sex. Kids will have it. And an interesting little fact is that the countries who EDUCATE their kids have low rates of teen pregnancy. Good luck convincing kids Rick. You'll need it.
It's really just saddening to watch this full-grown, supposedly well-educated man who is running to be our nation's top leader, struggling not only to answer the question, but to even understand what question is being asked.
Sure, he gets on a roll when it comes to standing up for his "old-fashioned" values, because of his desperate appeal to an older, more conservative demographic, but if I was to even begin to respect this man, let alone CONSIDER voting for him, I would need to see him recei
if you just taught safe sex it would lower the amount of teens getting pregnant .. and most tennis don't wanna give out (well most girls but some guys pressure) so honestly .. I think abstinence is kinda a waste of time .. or come-pleat bs ( in my opinion it is ..)
"Has sex or whatever goes on". Really? You don't know what goes on during sex? :| I think he needs to THINK before he talks, but that's too much to ask for. I'm definitely NOT voting for this tool.
so statistical numbers, scientifically gathered do not impress this man.... why am i not surprised at his answer? "well, it does work" happily, playfully driving towards the end of a cliff but the only thing he's lookin at is himself in his rear-view mirror
So his stance on abstinence is psychotic, repeating the same actions, promoting the same ideology and expecting different results after repeated failure.
@SpectatorCrow Because he is a man who is promoting what are considered Christian values. It doesn't matter if his policies are just based on his religious logic (batshit crazyness) people will vote for him.
Wow. When I listen to this video without watching, he sounds EXACTLY like George Dubya Bush. His thought porcess, if you want to call it that, is the same as well. DOES HE EVEN KNOW WHAT ABSTINENCE IS? Probably not, since he's from Texas.
They should be teaching sex-ed in that shit-hole of a state called "Texas" because I never got sex education there. Another good reason why Texas sucks.
Intellect is not a prerequisite requirement for most republican voters. They would rather have a president that they would feel comfortable with at a back yard barbecue eatin chicken and drinkin beer. Obama is considered an educated(uppity) nigger. The GOP and stupidity go together like, well, chicken and beer. Rick Perry is dumber than George W and thats pretty dumb
Gary Johnson is the best presidential candidate for the american people. He has the most logical and ethical economic solutions for this nation as a whole. I ask that you at least research him, and if you do not, if I did know you, I'd have to ask, why are you voting when you do not have all the facts? Why vote only for your own sake instead of for the sake of our nation . Take some time and read, and see what else is out there? besides what the media tells you
Texans voted him to hold the highest position in their state? Only in that state could Bush or Perry make it to elected position's, and even that is debatable in the case if the former.
I'm entire apolitical. I'm entirely apathetic to the 2012 Presidential Race. But this man is a fool...I am baffled that he even has supporters. If you actually want this man to be president, than I truly do believe that you, too, are a fool. He's a poison lizard, an invertebrate that slithered up from the deepest, rankest bowels of Hell.

Well, what I think the interviewer is talking about here is the return on taxpayer investment in the abstinence project. And it clearly, as the presenter put it, hasn't worked.

His answer is pathetic. Just know that this clown will NEVER win the presidency. In a fair and level race, there are MANY more people than are more qualified and not nearly so extreme and narrow-minded.
@harj2009 Oh come ON! I'm not advocating casual sex. I insisted my kids wait until they had turned 18 (both my son and my daughter). Both waited until then. In this world, one does not need to be married to have sex- and sex is a lousy reason for marriage. Both of my kids have had one partner, apiece; both were in or are in very long-term relationships and I was all-for whatever preventative education they could get, both at home AND in school.

@gcatledge But note this, too; RP can be taken as Rick the Prick Perry-- so make sure that you advise people just whom they should be considering for POTUS// Perry would be the worst possible choice, followed by Cain and Romney (not necessarily in that order)!
Ron Paul- 2012, before we completely lose OUR country!
Only a brain dead idiot would vote for Rick Perry, another Texas Tea Bagger Governor, following in the footsteps of GWB, yet another brain dead idiot Texas Governor that shares the same idiotic views as the Tea Baggers.
@haldonrichardson1 Do people really believe Perry was a virgin when he married? Do they believe that plastic drunkard has had only ONE partner in his life? If so, people are more stupid than I thought.
See, Drunken Perry, NH".., though I think he was half-loaded in this video, too. The other's more obvious.
I despise you band-wagoners. I don't much care for him myself, but at least I know why. You nitwits just say "fuck Rick Perry, he's gay, he's a moron".. and you don't even know why. You just feel it's your duty to be a militant liberal cause that's what's cool with kids 15-25. Get a fucking clue. That question was loaded and he didn't want to answer it, the idiot host, and I'll assume you queers, wanted him to say abstinence does not work. The real problem is idiot teens thinking they're adults
@OriginalTurgeis I agree... not that I am for Perry either... but I think people like to look "cool" and try to push the person down that everyone else is pushing down. People need to think for themselves... and MOST of the time voters don't even do the research on these problems to begin with...
@ashleyleap If the guy cannot answer the question, he needs to be prodded until he does answer it. He had to have been briefed, but Perry is really STUPID. He got the governorship by baby-Bush passing it on to him. If you want another Bush (Bush III), vote Perry -I realize you don't want another Bush, but, he does need to answer the "tough questions"! We have a school in Austin for preg girls. That's how bad the teen-pregnancy rate is HERE. And many drop out anyway. Perry's AWFUL!
@OriginalTurgeis Lololololol "band wagoners" "militant liberals" do you realise how utterly idiotic you sound? How is what the interviewer asking a "loaded question"? He's asking a simple question, and the guy flails desperately trying to avoid answering it and can't defend it. This man is a complete idiot, and no sane republican would want someone this stupid representing them. Its between people like you and the person in this video that negative stereotypes about Republicans are born.
the GOP desparately needs to give their people...all their people, lessons in doing interviews. How can they be so poor at answering a question with a straight answer.
Rick Perry wants tax cuts for the rich, deregulation of corporations, he hangs around with hate-spewing right wing religious wackos, he's a Birther, AND he executed an innocent guy. I'd say he's the perfect tea party candidate.
his reason: ....but it works

Yes, abstinence only education, which is what Perry advocates, and what we're arguing over here, is probably better than no sexual education, but that is not the point. The point is that abstinence only education is vastly inferior to all other sexual education programs. Finally, your last point is just... out of the blue. By my logic, all other programs should be scrapped? Why? I think you missed the point, my friend.
ElDeclan 2 months ago
@ElDeclan So what if it's inferior to other sexual education types? I am saying in conservative Texas all other types of sexual education are politically and morally indefensible positions so that will never be accepted by the populace. Any type of sexual education in school is a big infringement of parental rights to begin with in the minds of most people there so yes, to most conservatives abstinence education probably should be abolished but not for your reasons.
initvesa 2 months ago
@initvesa On my last point: most school programs are huge wastes of money. That "check for steroid" example is a good one: all those money spent and 20 cases found. If abstinence education should be abolished because of ineffectiveness then the steroid program should be ahead in line to get cut first. Hence "by your logic" many programs should be cut. Should the abstinence program be replaced? Not gonna happen? Can it abolished? Maybe, but the core motive probably is not effectiveness.

@initvesa I am sorry, but you are wrong. Countries which begin safe sex ed earlier and more casually have the lowest teen pregnancy rates, while countries who start later and don't necessarily teach safe sex have higher rates. Do a google search for "teen pregnancy rate vs education site:.edu" on google. On your other point... this is about rates and percentages rather than solid numbers. They are proportions, and if you dont understand, try finishing high school.
reuntes 2 months ago 6
@reuntes No need to be condescending. I was *asking* whether if they were proportions or not. Again, you are making a strawman argument. I am not saying it's more effective than "safe sex" education, only that the man is being logically correct when he says it's "money well spent" as the numbers beat the average expected return for any educational program.

The irony is that Perry is much like Obama; a Republicrat pro-war liberal who would rather spend billions in U.S. tax dollars on imperialist wars in the middle east that don't benefit America and are part of a bigger plan to form a one world government and eventual one world currency. Those who live near Perry know that he has been caught many times in compromising situations with men. It's unknown whether Perry is now gay or just bisexual, but he pretends to oppose the very group he's part of..

FECAL SEX About 80% of gays admit to licking and/or inserting their tongues into the anus of partners and thus ingesting medically significant amounts of feces. Those who eat or wallow in it are probably at even greater risk. In the diary study,5 70% of the gays had engaged in this activity--half regularly over 6 months. Result? --the "annual incidence of hepatitis A in...homosexual men was 22 percent, whereas no heterosexual men acquired hepatitis A."
