There aren't enough of those around. And don't try to tell me that this could have been avoided. With these sex ed programs in school, kids ARE aware of the consequences of their actions. And from what jaeangel said, kids are aware of sex LONG before the teenage years.

God doesn't have to make another flood to turn this place into a craphole. He'll just sit around and watch this friggin' younger generation do it.


Yikes, Neo, that's a little harsh. I was into anal sex at 16, but I don't see my actions as helping turn the world into a craphole. I think you're being a little hard on the kids, and a little easy on the sex ed programs in public schools. Often they teach abstinence-only but are not permitted to use religious/moral grounds, so the best they can come up with is showing slide shows of diseased penises and warning, "This will happen to YOU if you don't keep it in your pants!" Kids that young can't get the pill alone and aren't taught how to put on a condom, so I don't think it's fair to assign them all the blame when mistakes happen. I do think that kids are sexually active earlier than they used to be, but I don't necessarily agree that it's a bad thing.
