All the Scandinavian countries as well as Germany and others have you thoroughly beat on both counts, not that they're even remotely related.

USA = most powerful country
Scandinavian countries = nothing

USA = Google, Apple, Microsoft, eBay, General Electric..etc...
Scandinavian = Nokia, and that's all

They're sucking, I don't care about them

The 70% is the percentage of teenagers using contraceptives, including the "pill after", which the author equated with abortion.
Well you're going to have to provide proof for that one...

Umm.. that sounds exactly like the message that a child molester would relay to their victim right before they molested them.

You might want to change your approach.

Your ignorance is fascinating.

Norway is a crucial hub when it comes to engineering and particularly the deep sea offshore oil industry. It has one of the biggest arms and munition industries in the world, being the sole manufacturer for instance of your (US) beloved bazooka (Yes, a Norwegian company bought the American producer). Finland has Tires, phones and essential high tech farming equipment being sold all over the world. The amount of international big business, especially per capita far surpass the US.

Norway also has a lot more entrepreneurs than the US, per capita.

As far as power, with the second largest fund in the world, Norway has large shares in many US companies, amongst others, and have a deciding factor in many of them, and could singlehandedly bring down a multitude of companies if they so wished, simply by selling their shares, they've used this leverage already, to, amongst other things, better the conditions for workers in US companies.

Oh... yeah, and they found America in the first place... so there's that.

Regardless, they have both much lower unemployment rates and teen pregnancy rates, and so does Germany, which you carefully ignored first time around.

Let's not even get started on the FLDS.

Clearly, the US has a lot of room for improvement regarding the rates of teen pregnancies and STDs - and folks who say things like maja did are an integral part of the problem.
Completely wrong.

"God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

How's that working out? You know, subduing the world and all with religious zealots who won't reproduce because they're so sexually repressed.

Now your true motives come out which are anti-familial.

Oh grow up.

It seems like a lot of Americans prefer that we remain child-like forever. They actually favor arrested development in the area of sexuality. It all comes down to fear and insecurity.

Pity.

So your position is that as you teach humans about sex the less likely they are to have it?

Did you ever make it through a biology class or learn about evolution?

Species don't purposely dispose of themselves.

What this should tell you is that the teen pregnancy per capita rate isn't being compared as it should be, apples to apples.

I'm sure you weren't able to catch any of that though.

You're right!

We're fearful and insecure about you folks wanting to touch our children in ways that would get you arrested if they were adults.

Who else is going to speak out against "the" (y'all) predators?

You should change native to naive.
