They teach rimming in the Lutheran church to 5th graders?

Not in church,or a class, classes have teachers, but in the bathroom, the bus, or the "playground". Or your backyard.

Over-interest in sex is the fault of sugar and corn syrup in our foods.

Nope... don't buy that argument... but there ARE other reasons than that.

Like Hormones... I remember being and early teen... at 13 and 14 having a very good interest in sex... despite NOT having Cable TV at the time... (mid 70's) and a whopping 7 channels on TV to choose from. Back then Corn Syrup meant Karo Syrup... father loved it... I hated it.

Yes this was the days before Atari... and long before home video cassette players.

I was that age during the time of manual typewriters. And the kiddos today think they invented sex.

This has al lot to do with food

Nope. Conversations between students at recess.

Uh, back in the day we didn't talk about rimming at church, recess or ever.

this has alot to do with food

It has more to do with the general lack of discipline...

All those hormones are pumped into livestock that we eventually eat -- along with the hormones that are making us reach puberty earlier than ever before and get fat too.

Certainly agree with that both in school and in the home, ah for the good old days of the draft and national service when those unrully kids were whipped into shape and learned to make their bed

Worked for us... threaten the wimps today and they threaten to call CPS or the police on you. None of them have the fortitude to deal with a real punishment.

Tell that to the visual media. Then ban all TVs and feature only 1930s-1950s movies.

Didn't say it would be easy to reverse... cats out of the bag already.

As I have said a thousand times before, it all goes back to parenting. Public libraries are jumping on the bandwagon with teaching young parents how to parent their little kids. There needs to be more outreach by churches and schools and various agencies and organizations.

[paraclete]

How does a parent who has never known discipline discipline their kids, it just doesn't happen

That's kind of scary.

All the more reason for the village to dig in and help raise the children.

Who gets to dictate the moral standards... Hillary Clinton and her village? I sure as hell hope not. And I sure as heck hope it's not Moochelle Obama either...

You and I will be on a committee. We're part of the "village."

Just think... Bill Clinton could be teaching your daughter sexual morality.

[speechlesstx]

Funny, but am I the only one seeing the disconnect between the one saying it's about patenting being the one excusing poor parenting?
