You don't think giving a child a condom and saying "don't have sex" is a mixed moral message????Originally Posted by QDO1

Not really, they will pay attention to one of the messages. If they decide not to have sex they will toss the condom out, but if they do decide to have sex they might use the condom.Originally Posted by Chairtime
Guess what? Not all kids listen to their elders.
Not giving them a contraception option, is like giving out guns at the school gate, showing them a rambo film in morning assembly, and then wondering why some kid got shot at lunch time. Out of preference I would prefer the sex portrayed in all layers of society to be toned down, because to be frank it is boring, and gets in the way of the important issues in life
I never said "dont have sex" I did say:Originally Posted by Chairtime
There are 2 sides to this debate - moral, and realistic. On the ground, the chasam in the debate is translated into STD's, unwanted pregnacies and heartbreakOriginally Posted by QDO1
To throw some more philosophical spanner into the debate (and this doesnt repersent my opinion, but might be a valid one).. What is wrong with under age sex? Back a hundred years ago, when life expectancies were measured in the 40 and 50 year bracket (on average) it might make sense to have children erlier than later. Why is it under age at 15, 16, 17 or 18 - depending on what country you live in... How was the specific age decided. Do female monkeys have sex the moment they first come into season? If so is that immoral too?
An anecdote
My mother traced her family tree, so far she is back to 1380. Every single female in the family was pregnant before marriage in the whole line back to the oldest one in the chain so far. Contraception will change that
Ho Hum

There are many things in life that catch your eye... but very few things will catch your heart.... Pursue those!
