Where do you guys get this idea that Christians think sex is only for procreation? Been a Christian for 25 years - never heard anyone say it except Non-Christians.
Jesus, what a f**king unreadable, drawn-out diatribe. I thought I would agree with the premise implied by the title, but I can't even find a premise - every goddamn line is some attempt at a witty dressing-down of the parents. The author needs to get over himself. He's not nearly as clever as he clearly thinks he is.
You are right. It is very hard to attack someone's actions without attacking the person - entertainingly or not. In fact, your success in not offending is probably more dictated by the type of person you are talking to than by the words you choose. "Spiteful" may have gone too far on my part. I don't think the author intended harm or humiliation. But he doesn't seem to care about them either. Which is worse?

@actorboyWas going to say the same thing. Though for most diggers, having sex 16 times in 17 years would be achievement for them.

The fact that you keep close count of your digg "score" tells us all we really need to know about you and your priorities.

Per person, yes. Efficiency always wins.
