Iamon lyme: Re : You know what sex education actually does? It encourages kids who are already thinking about sex to go do it, and how many horny teenage boys do you think have the self restraint to stop and put on a condom?"
Words can not describe how ignorant a statement that is on so many levels.I suppose you never attended any sexual education classes, do you think it's spent going over the Kama Sutra? Sex education saves lives by discussing birth control and STD's as well as boring stuff like the human reproductive system.I can only hope that you haven't discouraged a child from this education only to have them experience an avoidable event that alters their life (in a bad way) forever.
The Col: "I can only hope that you haven't discouraged a child from this education..."
You are hoping I haven't discouraged a child from what education? From teaching them all about how to have safe sex? Ignorance isn't just about not knowing, it is also about not understanding what you think you know. The word "education" is another one of those magic words that liberals like to use... Education good, ignorance bad. Right wingers bad. Me like education. Me not be ignorant... me have education.
Nazis weren't ignorant either... they knew what they wanted and used "education" of young people as one of their tools for getting what they wanted. So much for the power of yer magic word, eh?
You would have had no success in persuading any my kids to your point of view. I made sure no adult would be able to simply toss out "magic words" to turn their heads. I told them in no uncertain terms, if an adult tells you it's okay to do something you know is wrong, you do not have to believe them or be intimidated by them simply because they are adults... even if that adult is me. It was that last part that made them sit up and take notice, because then it was clear to them that some things are not right no matter who says it.
The Col: I'm not calling you a nazi. I suppose I could have used an example that wasn't so emotionally charged, but the example still fits becuase the point was about "education". I forgot how reactive you liberals are. I try telling them one thing and all they can hear is something else.
Tossing out a word like ignorant does not mean you are educated. And being educated does not mean you have been taught well. So try growing a pair (of brain lobes) before reacting instead of reflecting. Think you can do that?

Iamon lyme: The dark ages just called , they want your tude regarding sex education back We're not living in the 70's anymore bud, you can't just go to a Doc for a shot if you get a sexually transmitted disease, and women actually expect pleasure during a sexual union, the old "in and out" doesn't cut it anymore.Passing your own sexual hang ups onto future adults does them no service both in making educated decisions and having a sexually fulfilling life.I'm very aware that SOME conservatives like to dump on the value of education these days,dumbing down the population does make them more open to propoganda
