But isn't incest said to be disgusting, vile, and immoral? When I heard that lyric, I didn't think he was promoting incest, I thought he was condemning it after having been sexually assaulted by his sister. Right after he says "Incest is everything it's said to be," he goes on to sing:

"Oh sister - don't put me on the street again
Oh sister - I just wanna be your friend

I was only 16 and only half a man
My sister didn't give a goddamn
She only wanted 2 turn me out
She'd take a whip 2 me until I shout
Oh motherfucker, she's a motherfucker, can't U understand?"

I think the lyric would be irresponsible had Prince said, "Incest is not everything it is said to be." But because it's known as a horrific thing, he's essentially agreeing with this widely accepted opinion of it in light of his experiences with his "Sister." And because he calls her a motherfucker, he obviously doesn't enjoy being whipped by her.

Jessica Simpson is a grown woman. I am talking about a full grown man lusting after teenaged virgin girls. I have an issue with that. In America, it is considered statutory rape for an adult male to have sex with a girl under 18.

It's illegal, but it's very much promoted by pop culture. Just look at R. Kelly: after he was accused, his popularity actually went up.

i have been thinking about that verse lately
it seemed to me that he was brushing what had happened under the carpet
and to maybe try to forgive and forget.But it seems now as though he brings things like that up quite abit now,references in Dear Mr Man,When will we be paid,family name.
Which leads me to the lyric that i find completely unnesecary "Holocaust aside,many lived and died but when all truth is told,would you rather be dead or be sold"Now im not saying that slavery wasnt as bad as millions of Jews being killed but to even try and compare the two doesnt seem too fair.

Age of consent actually varies from state-to-state.

I think it'w wierd though whether it's legal or not.
How could 16 year old hoochie momma like Mayte be an intellectual equal to a 33 year old man? She can't--it's impossible. She can be a mature 16 year old for her age, I will concede; however, this does not make it anymore appropriate a matchup. It's plain grose.

Different times U know? My grandmother was married with 1 child by the time she was 15. That was in 1915 (born 1900). Perhaps the time will come when a 16 year old girl will be able to make up her own mind without her parents consent. I find it interesting that a 16 year old girl can have intercourse with a 18 year old boy but not a 33 year old man, who will probably treat her better and be more sensitive to her endeavor in the beginnings of sex.

hmmm didnt he write a song about fucking his own flesh and blood????

id rather be a non voter than a sibling fucker!!!

I always hated "yeh do that baby, just like a dog" but I always thought that was meant to be about the "evil" Prince who is defeated in "7." [/quote



Funny, I always thought it was about fuckin doggie style.





But what do I know?

that's retarded. in most countries when large portions of the population don't vote its because they either don't have faith in the democratic party system itself or they don't have faith in the parties. to say its unamerican not to vote is like trying to blackmail citizens into believing in people who are supposed to be represented *them*. you've got it backwards. its unamerican for political parties and politicians to not adequately represent their constituents and instead try to manipulate them into believing that they're acting in their favor when actually they're just trying to fatten their pockets. prince's message is basically that he and lots of people in the US believe that that archaic two party system don't do it for them. perhaps its time for the US to enter the 21st century and electoral reform.

this article is filled with misinformation. can you give me the source of it? if the birth control pill fails and a woman does end up ovulating, then she would become pregnant and the pill would not be able to stop it. she would just be pregnant unless she did something about it. whether or not life begins at conception is a matter of opinion and this thread is not the place to discuss it.

many times, an egg will be penetrated by a sperm but the zygote will not implant into the wall of the uterus for whatever reason. this can happen to a woman whether she's on birth control or not. some zygotes that are formed are not genetically viable and therefore never become fetuses.

there is nothing in the hippocratic oath that says a doctor will never perform an abortion. many abortions are performed to save a woman's life because she and the fetus will die if the pregnancy carries on any longer. birth control an abortion are a large part of women's health and to deny a woman access to either is medicaly unethical and goes against the hippocratic oath.
plaese get your facts straight. this is just sad. i realize that you are one of those people who does not believe in a woman's right to choose or to be sexually active but i can't let misinformation like this go unchecked. it's a damn shame.

That particular part of that song seems to me like a betrayed man desperate to make someone love him back, or go back to the way things used to be with a lover. The line before that is "I want it 2 be so good she falls back in love with me." I don't really see it as a statment of rape.

Mzflash

when the birth control fails and you have "breatkthrough" ovulation, pregnancy occurs. I have not seen any proof that the pill goes on and stops a zygote from implanting or starves a zygote... the pill prevents conception.
there are some errors, those error result in pg unless the woman has a surgical procedure to remove the zygote/fetus.

the action of the ingredients in birth control pills are estrogen and progesterone, which prevents conception by preventing ovulation.

I just got online and check Micromedex, a professional medical source for information on prescription medication. If you have links posted by drug manufacturers, governmental studies ect. please post them so that I, as a medical professional can be enlightened.
I do not have an agenda, just want the truth. I am sure you feel the same way.

Yes Prodigalfan, I do want the truth. Here's an article from the Prevention Magazine.
http://www.prevention.com...-P,00.html
It's taken me many years to discover what is actually happening with birth control pills. Many people do not want to know the truth. It is much easier to 'feel good' than it is to be held responsible and prepare to care for another life.
