The Sexualization of our youth and its consequences

For the sake of full disclosure on this subject I'm going to be very open about a few things, and I'm sure this will cost me in some aspects. However, honesty is important.

I am not a practicing Christian, and I am sexually active. I do not claim to be a "righteous man

Two things:

1) An < lj - cut > would've been nice.

2) Very well said.

3) (So I lied) I can see some objection to abstinence-only instruction (assuming the children are in their teens when sex ed happens), but the ones who really get to me are the ones who laugh at ANY mention of abstinence. If you won't mention the 100% effective method of avoiding prenancy and STDs AT ALL, you're really just an asshole promiting teenagers having sex. (And I don't want you near kids)

1) Done

2) Thanks

3) let me quote and respond.

That's about where I stand except I really don't care for the state teaching my kids about sex period, and I don't want them near my kids. If other people want to go that route with their kids that's their business. They'll reap the rewards later.

damn my broken tags.

It is a tough call. It's easy for me since I don't object to it all that much once they're in their teens.

But I see your point and doubt I'd object to an opt-out program. There really isn't much ground for an objection to it. It's not as if the Libs can claim the Christian kids are going to run out and bang their daughters becvause they lack the info.

(Honorable mention for the belief that "sex-ed" should really just be in Biology, maybe with a week or two of the non-mechanics here and there in Freshman and sophomore years.)

I am not a practicing Christian, and I am sexually active. I do not claim to be a "righteous man" living according to the teachings of the Bible. In fact, though I understand the Bible quite well I'm very much in opposition to it in many of my habits.

Then would it be fair to summarize this as 'Yet another hypocritical meatsack hypocrite posting do-as-I-say-and-not-as-I-do right-wing rhetoric on the Internet' Or is there more to this

Too you trolls long enough. You're a day late. Figured you no life having hate mongers would have shown up a long time ago.

You completely missed the point of the post as is typical when reading through a fog of prejudice. I never said I was against the vaccine. You also make me out to be rather ... self righteous.

I'm guessing you didn't actuall read the post. That is also typical, and makes you rather agressively hateful, prejudice, and devoid of any intellectual quality in this conversation.

as I sad in my post

see your way out of my blog.

:-)

Thanks for dropping by. You're always amusing.

[melvin_udall]

That was awful. I mean really.

That was what you had to offer?

[1angrychristian]

You should see what he posted after i banned him.

It was at least more entertaining. I just love getting read the annonymous posts. I have them screened, and I only unscreen them if they have some value. Alas, it wasn't that entertaining so it's still sitting screened.

For me it's not just the "sex-ed" at an early age. It's the new wave of teachers that like to send kids home with their political ideaology as well as their thoughts on sex.

I will home school my children. I will send my children to public high school only because at that age they will be more able to make a measured choice in what is being told to them and what to believe.

I do agree whole heartedly with your point in all of this.

Just thought I'd share:)

[1angrychristian]

Yeah. My boys are either going to a Christian private school or are going to be home schooled. Personally, I don't want my kids to ever see the inside of a public school ... well ... not unless they're there to vote.

;)

I'm friending you if that's ok.

[angelfallentear]

I went to public schools and have been exposed to many people that did not. I just think there is something to be said for the social behaviors that you learn and how you learn to interact with groups of your peers at a public school. 4 years of that and kids more than likely learn to deal with a great number of situations they wouldn't being homeschool or even in private school. I'm not talking bad about private school, I just don't think you get as many characters there.

I have faith that my kids won't turn into bumbling idiots at that point.

Of course:) Friend away:)

[1angrychristian]

I understand that dynamic but I'm more worried about the so-called "authority figures" and what they'll do to my kids.

I'm all about letting my kids develop social skills under the care of a responsible authority structure. Public schools are lacking in that "responsible authority" area.
