Condoms For First Graders?

As long as Saden has an active password, personal attacks will fly...you should have known that. :D

Serious question, have you ever been clinically diagnosed? It doesn't hurt to find out what is wrong with you, it's not the 1950s and there is no stigma associated with it anymore.

lol you knew the shitstorm you were creating. You started off with your typical attack on liberals.

Perhaps my take on the 50s isn't accurate. Things weren't all that much different in the 50s. People were just better at keeping things private.

I should have referred to the stone ages. You and buster can probably relate better to that time. ;)

Of course, any criticism of disagreement with a liberal idea is "attacking".

Sounds like the President...disagree with him and he'll threaten to "kick our @ss".


I don't take offense to being called old-fashioned when it comes to morality or principles.

Interesting how so many of the non-parents here want to dictate the way kids are to be taught.

I few months ago I watched a few episodes of All in the Family and I Love Lucy....man, nothing has changed...same shit, different decade.

Two great shows by the way.

Not trying to dictate anything. I didn't realize that having a kid was a prerequisite for chiming in on this conversation. If that's the case I'll bow out until I do have one, pretty sure my opinions aren't going to change though.

I was just thinking, how is a 1st grader supposed to use a condom in the first place? I mean what's he going to do, tie it in a knot?

I guess i think its okay. If you put a age limit on it, say 6th grade, then 6th graders are going to think its okay to or feel pressure into having sex. If you just make condoms available for all students then nothing changes from year to year and there wont be mentality of "im entering 6th grade time to get some condoms and bang Stacy". Same thing if you put parent notification on it.

Im not sure if schools should provide condoms in the first place though. Maybe a better solution would be to have a government facility (like fire station, or police station), give out free condoms no questions asked. At the end of day its a public health issue, and if they want to limit sodium in our foods then I guess they should be able to force condoms on us too.

I'll come back on this argument now. I had no idea such a shitstorm would ensue.

I'm not sucking up, but Matty really is right. It's not the 1950's anymore. It's gonna blow your mind, but kids know what sex is. they want to have it. they choose it for themselves.

I dont condone it, but if they are going to do it, they need to be safe and know the risks involved.

This bothers me personally because i see the girls around this neighborhood, they have to be no older than 14 and they parade around showing off their shit. And it's not that they don't know, they want to. They want men to check out their asses when they wear bikinis and show cleavage. they know exactly what they are doing.

Any boy who has discovered their private parts are gonna want in on it to, regardless of his age. it isnt hard to figure out.

Other people want to try and shelter their children and keep them "innocent", and that's nobile, but kind of foolish. Kids need to know the consequences of their actions, and the only way i would know of to hide them from the world is like to join some cult or something that teaches you everything is bad...

I'm not busting on anybody, but maybe sex education for kids is a good thing, if it prevents the spread of disease and middle school pregnancies...

Exactly , the schools SHOULD NOT be monitoring , or" encouraging" sexual activity ... the school should not be undermining the parents . By giving the kids condoms , the school is monitoring , interfering with parenting . So , if a teacher gave a kid a bottle of seagrams to a student , but provided a seatbelt and buckled it for him before he drove on one of our public roads , we should be greatful for " service provided " ? We are talking about 6 year olds , if the school gives a 6 year old a condom , they are now the problem , just as a school giving a kid alcohol , cocaine or a loaded gun . Just curious to those who think the schools should be giving condoms to six year olds . If a 6 year old was getting bullied everyday , would you be ok with the school giving the kid a gun to protect himself ??

We're talking about giving a safety device to a child, and you relate that to giving guns, drugs and alcohol to children? Reach a little farther...

Absolutely not...but instructions and encouragement to try it should not be in their lives.

Knowing how Mommy and Daddy made their baby sister is a far cry from getting an "insert Tab A into Slot B" sheet and a free condom to further engage the curiosity.

Some lessons are best left to parents to teach. Religion, sex and politics are among them.

Let the schools teach math, English and how to play kickball.

Nobody is encouraging sex -- they're encouraging safety, if anything.

I was going to chime in but any debate with 1st and Buster is like riding one of these:
