And then they abandoned Islam to become Scientologist Buddhist Monks.

This thread went from serious debate about peoples uptightness, to cracking jokes about conservatives.

I love you guys so much.

Censorship is proper when it comes to children. There's an opposite side here in the news where 3 schoolboys had oral sex with each each other after finding out what it was. I think they found out from porn, not the dictionary though. Children have a tendency to imitate everything.

That said, they should be thought what sex is, and why/when it's wrong. Otherwise, they will figure it out by themselves later...

This is another one of those things that isn't more sexual/choose controversial quality than you make it.

Some people jump in front of trains to commit suicide, therefore trains should be abolished.

That's a bit of an extreme comparison. Sex is a natural thing that every single creature in the world is tooled up for (urgh, bad choice of words). Suicide is not something living things come into this world prepared to do.

Few kids try oral sex with their friends when they find out what it is. I'd say it's a lower number than the number of people that commit suicide by train.

Judging by how often the UK rail network fails due to suicide I'm fairly shocked there is anyone left alive in the country at all.

Two kids did that at my middle school.  The Principal caught them.  It was crazy.

I don't see what the problem with kids having oral sex is. It's their bodys, they should be able to experiment with them. Hell, oral sex is probably some of the safest sex they could try.

Unless there was some sick fuck with a video camera with them, I don't see the need to freak out about it.

Other than STDs?  And what's to stop them from doing other stuff once they've tried that out?
