Hey, I'm no prude, but isn't the porn thing a little out of control here?

PR, indeed.

In fact not so long ago I *HAD* to have that conversation with my niece cause her schools entire "education" consisted of a 15 minute vid mostly consisting of "this is sex, it's bad, don't do it."

In fact, the same one (it's the same school) which they foisted on me which left me no choice but theft and subterfuge to find out the FACTS of the matter so I did not wind up with any of the 'problems' my schoolmates were finding themselves cursed with, like STDs or unplanned pregnancies.

My concern is that lacking her uncles violent nature, and being as a rule unwilling to do harm to other persons, her defensive options against unruly boys are quite limited.

Soon as it's legal for her to possess, that girl's gettin a cattle prod for her B-day.

Nothin says "NO" like 12,000 volts.

I googled “preteen girl sex” once and everything that I pulled up was sex sites, most of them featuring underage girls.... The internet is inundated with this stuff to the point that it inhibits reasonable usage.
I can think of lots of reasons that someone might google a phrase like that...

"preteen + girl + sex ... + incidence"
"... + warning signs"
"... + prevention"

Y'all- get your heads outta the gutter!

Hey Chris. Sorry Sonisall had to witness that episode. I hope he's ok.

I was on it so fast he didn't even get to see it (It's good to have Kung-Fu reflexes!)
He still goes yuck when Indy kisses a woman...

Also, Chris, I googled "cute chicks pictures" and found plenty of baby animals and a few shots of cleavage. Why you gotta make me think I'll find a lot of hawtness that way?


Last year it got actual chicks as well, but the MAJORITY seemed to be nudes & bikini shots sites...
I closed the window so fast I might have thought I saw more than I did, though.

On the topic of dangerous googling...

The other day, I was helping a student work on an assignment, for which he had to include pictures to represent each of his vocabulary words, all from the book "Of Mice and Men". One of the words was "greyback", which at the time of the novel was slang for lice.

So, he punches in "lice".

First picture was of a rather large male member, covered in lice.

Ewwwwwwwwwww.

Sex is natural, and I'll tell my kid straight out when asked. I'll also tell him that too much sugar can cause diabetic shock, if you take my meaning.

Cause in practice it's DAMNED close to this one.

And that is something I will fight against to the very last breath within me.


Okay, I take dress codes to mean wearing clothes that aren't MEANT to show off erogenous zones. That's all. And no curse words on tee shirts, maybe.

By teaching them abstinence-only?

The dress code at my school consists of:

No shirts with bad language/sex/drug or alcohol (though there are a few "Bob Marley taking a toke" shirts that slip through).

Skirts and shorts must come down to 2 inches above the knee.

No gang-related clothing.

No tank tops on boys (I think this is mainly to spare us the smell).

Sleeveless shirts are okay for girls, as long as the straps/shoulders are at least 2 fingers wide.

No blatant cleavage (this is the fuzziest of our rules - and the most frequently violated).

Yes, its out there.

Its probably not good.

But instead of trying to restrict it, teach your children not to look at it.

Raise them right, and this won't be a problem.




Cool, we agree on something!

Talk to your kids, use software to limit what they can view on the net.

When you drive with your children, you put a seatbelt on them, you don't expect everyone else not to drive while you are on the road with them. Porn is fun (provided it's consentual adults) and the web is an obvious place for producers and consumers to meet.

Though that .xxx thing sounds very efficient.

As for uniforms, I would have loved them. It would have actually allowed me to be creative and more carefree, without worrying about whether my choice of clothes would affect how others treat me in school.

Teenagers in large numbers aren't generally a confident, embracing crowd. They can be vicious to those they deem weaker or different (because they are scared of being weak and different) and clothes are such an obvious, superficial and easy thing to focus on.

A little bit of supeficial equality probably wouldn't hurt their creativity overtly much. Might even encourage them to more be creative about other things than physical appearance.
