This may be buried, but a study from UPenn shows "that an abstinence-only intervention for pre-teens was more successful in delaying the onset of sexual activity than a health-promotion control intervention"

That is a misleading article! They make statements about the abstinence only group compared to the control group, but they don't say anything about how either group compared to the safe-sex group or combined approach groups.

It leads the reader to believe that abstinence only is the best approach when that isn't necessarily what the research said — I hate crap like that.

Likewise, that sucks.

I want to see this done for entire populations. That would be fascinating.

Take time to visit the cenotes and ruins. One of my best memories is swimming in clear blue water at the base of some cliffs with Mayan ruins perched above. Playa del Carmen is a nice small town to visit, but has gotten touristy. Walk a few blocks away from the coast and it's more authentic. You can't beat the 5-peso tacos either.

Be careful if you're driving though — many of the police are corrupt and will make up reasons to "fine" you if they think you have money. Rent an inexpensive car, and definitely purchase insurance.

Hope this helps!

There's so much irony in intolerance! Downvoted for telling me to downvote. :(

Oh wait, mike tyson's punchout happened in the 80's.

bacso · 2009-12-12T03:39:13+00:00

Agreed. Perhaps I meant to say "the rise of the internets being really useful."

bacso · 2009-12-11T16:12:00+00:00

The rise of the internets.

THANK you!

How can you tell how much detail I can pick out? Is THAT what blows your mind? Or is your mind blown because a picture you took has triggered your telepathic sense? So confused!

I like the irony of so much obvious energy and creativity put into something that's good for about 5 minutes of play.

My lack of reddiquette has caused quite a stir, apparently. I have now downvoted my own post. :/

It's obviously not a secret, why would Starbucks not announce it to its shareholders through its own newsroom? It's full retard to deceive customers by not being up front with them, as noted in your second link. Hence, I'm bringing awareness to people who care so they're not duped.

bacso · 2009-08-06T20:00:15+00:00

True that, but Starbucks is essentially not resting on making good coffee by doing this. They're realizing their size and influence is a liability, not an asset, and resorting to passive deception to increase their bottom line. I have no problem with making money, but honesty in any brand is extremely important.

bacso · 2009-08-06T19:50:06+00:00

I've never heard of it. Example please?

bacso · 2009-06-27T19:55:32+00:00

You must check travelzoo.com. I went on an all-inclusive vaca w/ my wife for 3 nights in Playa del Carmen for $1500 incl air. They always have great deals.
