Fred Thompson appears to desire to avoid pandering to idiocy.

Sex Education Lesson aimed at teens: Abstinence is pathetic, unrealistic and a disservice to your future spouse. The article is a little over the top. So are the videos! If I had a child who watched them I would be having a conversation with someone about it ( Read more... )

Cripes. I hadn't heard about that.

Nope. Pulling it, as I don't know about this soy thing but am not keen on putting up a source that might lie.

I find the Mohammed thing to be extremely disturbing. We might as well say goodbye to the history of our civilization right about now.

As for those "sex ed" videos, I watched the two you recommended and several others and I almost puked. It's shit like that that makes me absolutely TERRIFIED to bring a daughter into this world, but on the other hand if intelligent non-libtards don't start reproducing, and FAST, we're effing screwed. Have you ever read Brave New World? Step 1: sexualize the children.

Indeed.

I have a problem with anything presented to teens as good = people think you're cool, bad = people think you are uncool. Did you watch the video about dating an older guy? I agree that a 15 year old dating a guy in his twenties or (God forbid) thirties is bad, but I HATED how they presented that message. Basically they said something like "You may be cool for having an older boyfriend, but nobody thinks he's cool for dating you, he's a loser." I mean, WTF?? If it's all about what other people think, why don't we just skip the BS and start encouraging teens to use the movie Grease as a serious model for their lives ( ... )

Between the "Ha ha Abstinence condoms" and the abstinence video I was at my limit.

Wow. Lovely.

You know why they went that route? Probably because they can't actually say anything like, "it's wrong." That would be a moral judgment call, and we can't have that.

why don't we just skip the BS and start encouraging teens to use the movie Grease as a serious model for their lives???

That's precisely what secular progressives want!

"alternative activities" they had the girl playing a game with a D&D book on the table. Yeah, because if you are a gamer you are a loser who never gets laid.GAH! My head would have exploded ( ... )

Could Fred bring back the Reagan era? Tell us, Santa Melvin! Tell us!!! Seriously, though, I del.icio.us'd the shit out of that article.

Does abstinence-ONLY work? Probably not.

Exactly, and it's the other way around. Too bad they can't realize that. "Drugs are dangerous kids, but if you're going to do them, at least use a clean needle."

Also, that Washington Times link appears to be broken already. Got another source?

We can hope. With Newt on his right and Paul on his left.

Cool.

Anoying on the washtimes article. Fixed.

I like how you emphasized the word "ONLY" when talking about sex education. I'm sure you've noticed that when talking with liberals, if you even mention the word "abstinence" they will automatically include the word "Only" with it. I think the desire for abstinence-ONLY education is a liberal-created myth. I think most advocates of abstinence would like to just see abstinence-INCLUDED education. But liberals won't even acknowledge that abstinence is the most gauranteed method of avoiding teen pregnancy (that's not an opinion, that's just common sense and a fact). Their precious "sexual revolution" is too valuable to them. It's become a symbol for their entire world-view.

Thank you, and yes, they do. Few things get the vein in my forehead bulging like their determination to make ANY mention of abstinence equal abstinence-ONLY.

And the reason why is what is in this video is EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. They want to mock and attack teens who are not having sex, because they are far more interested in coddling the feelings of teens who feel bad FOR fucking than those who feel bad for not.

I think the desire for abstinence-ONLY education is a liberal-created myth.

If not entirely, largely.

The thing is, the obvious default of ANY sex-ed should be "not doing it protects you from everything." It's COMMON SENSE. But they can't be trusted to perform that common sense instruction.
