All About McCain - Page 69

I fully admit to not reading the whole bill. I did not have the time to in the context of this discussion and posted a link to the full document. I was not trying to hide anything, nor did I intend to insult anyone's intelligence.

As I have posted here before, it is simply NOT possible with the thoroughness of so many people here to try to mislead by leaving out information.

Leaving out stuff can make someone sound a certain way...

I'm not sure what link started the sex-ed topic but this story is covering an ad McCain's campaign is running.

I am curious why Obama is called Mr. Obama while McCain is called Senator McCain.

They're both called "Senator" at the beginning of the article and both are called "Mr." for the rest of the article...

Thanks. My eyes must have missed that.

Age appropriate? Nothing wrong at all. My kids were well versed in the "these are my privates and you don't mess with them" very early on.

I am at fault for not reading the whole text of the bill. I read the first paragraph and not the rest. I do believe there is a deliberate attempt to mislead the electorate by not citing the rest of the bill.

Mousepod, I do not claim to know everything, and come here in part to learn from many, many intelligent people with opposiing viewpoints. It is not my desire to simply associate with lie minded individuals. I hadn't heard much about the whole thing, and a Google search on SB0099 (easy enough to find the number) allowed me to find and read the first portion in about 2 mins. I am glad I know now that there was more to the bill than what I read, and also do agree that there is an attempt to deceive.

They were both first referred to as Senator on first mention and then Mr. on all later mentions (of the individual, when talking about the campaign of either no title is used).

It is standard Times style.

For example, this sentence:

Quote:

In another part of the advertisement, Mr. McCain maintains that Mr. Obama’s sole achievement in education was the sex-education bill.

ETA: Whoops, missed the next page.

I remember being taught pretty young, about bathing suit zones and what was appropriate touching and what was not appropriate touching. It was definitely in the 1st grade, kindergarten, pre-school days. AND this was at a strict Catholic school.

And when we were taught the bird and the bees in grade school, there was always the caveat of "If you're having sex..." before everything. Abstinence was taught as well as condom use. AND this was at a strict Catholic school.

Just sayin'.
