Let's hope this odious, damaging and pointless initiative is now banished forever, in the US and elsewhere.
Silver ring my hairy arse.

What a waste of good money President Bush and your bible bashing supporters. :thumb:
He therefore has to act strong to please these supporters, its just a shame telling kids not to have sex is pointless. As you say Sofie, its about education.

Not a very good analogy maybe, but I'm hoping you get my point.
I think I understand what you're getting at - you think that they should know the consquences of their actions else this will just make them curious? And if you tell someone not to do something, they WILL do it.
:yes:
One way to look at the results of that survey is that abstinence education is as effective as 'normal' sex education. Which seems to suggest that standard sex education in the US isn't working very well either (at least in reducing teen sex).
Really though, finding 'sex rates' isn't that informative. What would be interesting is to find how the different groups behaved in terms of pregnancy and STDs.....
