Or, you know, to actually have a Sex-Ed.goddessdelFebruary 12 2005, 23:49:48 UTC
First off, as usual, Plummie, you crack me up. ;) I'll the second the let's move you to Canada theory. BC is much warmer than NB. ;)
Let's see, I never had a real Sex-Ed. It was a Health class, that spent maybe a week on the evils of sex (don't think it was AOE, just a really religious teacher) and then a surprise STD slide-slow that still has lingering scars.
It was like, way to have no discussion, information, or anything. Grrrr....
Thank God my family was liberal and supplemented. I'm sure my parents thank the school system every day for that talk. [/sarcasm]

Yeah. I hate it when a school says it has sex ed, but it doesn't even talk about prevention of STDs and pregancy, blah blah blah. I favor telling kids where to get birth control and how to access it, because, you know, I don't think teenagers should have to worry about potty training and when their baby's daddy is going to start paying child support from his Part time job at McDonald's. Then again, there are teenagers who do have sex-ed but are still incredibly fucking stupid as to not use birth control (And not even for religious reasons.)
You really having me LMAO and nodding in total agreement at the same time. (James Marsters, LOL! Friending you.)
I remember that "Miracle of Life" shit ("miracle," hah!) and vowing then and there to never do something that insane to myself. I remember being pretty bored with those "health" classes because my parents had already taught me everything. I do remember that they separated us into boy and girl groups and that the boys got condoms at the end of the presentations and we got nothing.
They gave the boys condoms but you guys nothing? That seems so wrong on so many levels. They at least could have given you guys condoms as well. :p My sex-ed classes weren't seperated into boy-girl groups. We all got incredibly grossed out and traumatized together.
I'm not sure if I should laugh or crawl under a blankie and hide. I was never privy to the sex ed class so I'll take your word for it. This rant has stirred up more than a few horror stories of my own which I won't go into right now. But I wanted to make an observation. You maybe to young to remember the Regan era. When good old Nancy started the "Just Say No" campaign drug use in teens took a sudden rise. It's kind of like dangling a old cookie in their face. It might not be good but it's still a cookie. And all the sweeter if you know your parents don't want you to eat it or your friends dare you to take a bite. :o)
I found this by way of my usual path of internal destruction (customers-suck posts being repeated in metaquotes), but it is so seriously dead-on, I have:
- quoted it in its entirety (under a cut but still...) with a recommendation that it be read from the pulpit in every Fundie church in the country starting today;
- Friended you on general principles;
- oh, and stolen your Bush icon.
Your complaint period for all of these is on the clock. And thanks.
