This is not only spread by being promiscuous. I know of at least two couples where both of the partners where each other only sex partner (ONLY partner, not only at the time), where the woman contracted HPV. One of them developed cervical cancer as a result and had to have part of her cervix removed, and is not advised against ever having children. If she were to ever do so, it would be considered a high-risk pregnancy through the full term. I would much rather give my children a small infection then to have that happen to one of them, or whoever they are with, regardless of if it is promiscuous or not.

That's the biggest problem I have with any opposition to any sexually-transmitted disease vaccination. It's like the parents think their children are suddenly NOT going to have sex since they could get something, which is not true regardless of your upbringing. I would MUCH rather my child be safe, just in case, rather than take the chance they might get something, which is also the exact same philosophy my parents used.

I think that Sony would disagree with you there. I doubt that the total value of your stolen cars and jewellery would add up to anywhere near what Sony has lost due to its recent hacks.

Perhaps, if Sony had actually done it's job and had some decent security, they wouldn't have lost anything.

That's like a dealership leaving all the keys in their cars with the front gate unlocked. You just EXPECT it all to get stolen.
