    we need proper comprehensive sex ed, we need to get away from this whole "save yourself" thing.

    on the domestic abuse front, i wasnt comparing domestic abuse to abortion per se what i was saying was just becasue thousands of people have abortions does not make it right, abortion will always be around im not dumb but i will do everything i can to prevent it becoming legal in this country.
    a number of years ago i use to do alot of fox hunting, im a huge animal lover and tried to defend this "sport" using basically the same argument thats its been round for hundreds of years, although i even realised that it was a crap argument

    Actually it is a common misconception (no pun intended:):)) that abortion is illegal in Ireland. It is actually legally available when there is a clear risk to the life of the expectant mother as distinct from her health.

    I am all for sex education but for everyones sake leaving it to the Schools and department of education is one of the Dumbest ideas since the thermal underwear thong.

    A proposal a couple of years back was the controvercial Exploring Masculinities Programme for boys where a lot of it contained stuff about positive homosexual material, Iron John and stereotyped male abuser stuff. Now teenage boys and the word gay.:D:D:DNeed I say more.

    Education is the parents responsibility not the schools and under the constitution its the parents duty to educate. All this PC coy stuff is being taught in schools by the same people that do such a mind-numbing job with say Irish.I have 2 teenagers and Ive made sure they know the score.Most parents dont.

    If Sex Education is to be taught in schools it needs to be straight up and a bit more Jerry Springer and Maury than Oprah.

    I am sure Eevie you would have strong views on it and probably Carlybabe too. I would like to see a more down and dirty approach less PC approach

    carlbabe you claimed that even if a women has a miscarriage she has to go full term with the pregnancy, thats one "fact" thats isnt true, it is impossible for a women to go "full term" with a miscarried baby anyone women that miscarries will have to have the miscarried baby removed.
    cdfm i completely agree that sex ed should be down to the parents but the sad thing is some parents are still too embarrassed to talk to their children about it, i was lucky because my mother took a very straight forward approach to it and to this day she'l still come out with things, my parents did not want a teacher telling about these things but many parents prefer to leave it to schools. i remember in 5th yr(i moved schools in 3 rd and in my previous school we had sex ed in 2nd yr) there were already 3 girls who were pregnant and we got a talk on saving yourself for marraige, those 3 girls were sitting in that room having to listen to this nonsense thats not practical advise in this day and age,im not saying that if they had of recieved comprehensive sex ed at a younger age that they wouldnt have become pregnant but you never know

    Seriously eveie, stop misquotin me to bolster your argument, you come across as though you have no real basis for your argument, and makes you look immature, and well pathetic. I said in some instances, not all, and it is true... seriously, where do ye get your encyclopedic knowledge :rolleyes:
