Originally posted by 18psi2300: In theory the "let parents teach kids about sex" idea sounds good, but a lot of (maybe even most) parents won't talk about it, then you're left with kids not being taught anything. If you can't see the danger for society in that...
Wow, I wonder what society did before sex education. It has been taught for a blink of the human history eye. I could be dumb, but I don't think our society crumbled or was endangered when people weren't learning everything about sex.
Originally posted by 18psi2300:What I find even funnier is that Bush mandated that a good portion of his African AIDS Emergency Fund go to abstinence only programs; even to the point of banning handing out condoms and condom information. Sorry, but you're not going to convince a buncha people in 3rd world countries to stop fukcing.
Maybe that is the best policy, since abstinence is the only way to prevent STDs. Don't you think it's better to teach a policy that leads to prevention than give the impression that using condoms prevents STDs??
Third World countries can either choose death or sex, and right now it looks like they're choosing death.
