As for parents being responsible for their children being raised right, you went by the premise that I agree with such a thing. However I don't think parents can be trusted with such a task (This abstinecne only nonsense that creates ignorant kids that have a negative view about sex is a perfect example of why parents can't betrusted to raise their children right). This is an unfortunate compromise as (curently) there's no better alternative. Hopefully this pesky impediment will eventually be rectified.

Exactly WHAT are you going TO trust parents with?  What do you think of a society where parents can't be trusted to raise their kids?  It sounds like you want the state to raise kids.  Well, more power to you, if you do.  Sorry you see that parents raising kids is a "pesky impediment" to your belief on how society should be structured.


I don't agree with the government or the society at large raising kids and ultimately I think it is souly the parents obligation, but the truth of the matter is that some parents think that raising a child and sheltering them is synonimous. There is little truth in that. I can understand a parent not wanting their child having sex, however, it is important to realize that a proper education about sex does deter unwanted pregnancy. As a matter of fact most studies show that properly educated kids are less likely to have sex early due to the scare tactic that comes with full discloser about sex.

I'm not sure where the shift conversation occured, can someone produce some clif notes to catch us newcomers up?
