Reply #12: Having just seen "Juno," would "schmucks" be a better word? [View All]

I always thought that a teenage girl who willingly got pregnant, and the boy who got her pregnant, were idiots. Even if "accidents happened," they were often stupid for not taking appropriate steps. And possibly for having sex out of boredom.

Disclaimer: I'm someone who didn't have sex until he was 22, and pretty damn infrequently after that, since I'm a repulsive hunk of humanoid. But even given that, I've seen people who had sex in remarkably stupid circumstances...for the wrong reasons, turning off their minds, letting passion overrule common sense, all of that. And reaping the whirlwind.

So, I will always think of these people as schmucks. Males and females alike.
