Next They'll Be Wanting to Burn Them

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I read all your opinions and statistics. Frankly, what's right doesn't depend on how many people are doing it whether christians or non-christians. When you have sex between a man and a woman, whether you use birth control or not, abortion availability or not, there's a chance that a living child will result from your act. You may want to abort, but your partner may not. Every time a person engages in sexual intercourse that should be part of the mindset. Are you willing to fulfill your responsibility to your child? That means loving them and supporting them into adulthood. If you, or our teenagers, think that this isn't part of the equation, then we've failed them. The other possibility is that we just don't care about our children which, unfortunately, is often the case. We just want to have fun and don't care about the consequences.

Utter tosh.

Leave the vauge generalisations at home and concentrate on the facts. Using wide ranging all encompassing general pejorative descriptions sex and sexual development based on nothing more than what appears to be a slippery slope fallacy doesn't add anything of substance.

If you disagree with why children should learn about sexuality, and importantly their own sexuality, you're going to have to do better than say that because there's a chance a child might be born they should avoid it altogether. Indeed, teaching children about sexuality and safe sex would actually lower the chance of a child being born and increase the chance of the consenting partners being more responsible. Shielding them from 'sex' per se is a foolish errand perpetuated by fools who wish to see nothing but their own power and control. Teens will explore their sexuality regardless of what people say is true. Much better to talk about the actual facts, including procreation and the fun side of sec, than simply to block it out entirely.

But please, don't let the facts get in the way of your opinion.
