NYC launches app for sexually active teens
NY Post ^ | march 30, 2013 | DAVID SEIFMAN

Sixteen and pregnant? There’s an app for that.

The Bloomberg administration has launched an app intended to reduce teen pregnancy called “Teens in NYC Protection+” that provides a wealth of health data for kids who are — or are thinking about becoming — sexually active, The Post has learned.

Information about everything from free clinics for HIV and STD testing to receiving condoms and emergency contraception is just a touch away on a smartphone.

The Health Department has yet to publicly announce the app. But the information has been available on the nyc.gov Web site, which has a special section dedicated to teens.

Parents who visit the site are in for a surprising lesson about state law.

“Teens in New York state have a legal right to get sexual-health services without the permission of parents, guardians, boyfriends, girlfriends, relatives or anyone else,” the site advises.

By comparison, a teen is not allowed to go on a school trip without parental consent.

The good citizens of New York need to launch an app that ships the Nazi Bloomberg one-way to North Korea.

It’s ok for teens to have sex. It’s the cigarette afterwards that will get you in big trouble.

I used to wonder. But then it occurred to me that it takes n effort at all to have sex. Especially today. They get instant gratification for dropping their pants. But like Cocaine, they have to do more of it because after a while, the act no longer satisfies.

Dogs don’t compose music or write novels either. Even if they could, there’s too much effort involved. So going with pure animal instinct gets the fastest payoff. With no thought required.

Forgot one. There’s also the “fun factor” of accomplishment in getting their partners to do the most degraded things possible. Then comparing notes.

Sounds like they’re moving the old bathroom stall wall scrawl “For a Good Time Call 555-1212” to a mobile app. That’s the only thing that would get teenage attention.

I find it odd that a Jew would act so Nazi like. Maybe it’s the Napoleon-height thing.

“I find it odd that a Jew would act so Nazi like. Maybe it’s the Napoleon-height thing.”

I contract out my services for Israeli companies on occasion and even the Israelis can’t figure out what’s going on with some Jews in America. I’ve had some Jewish peckerheads here on FR calling me anti-semitic because I don’t cow-tow to their proper and politically correct view of Jews.

They can kiss my Marine Corps ass.

My chair-force ass as well. (maybe Zoomie in your day)

One should never fear telling the truth...even when it’s ugly.
