That's easy, Britain rules because it's closer to Ireland (and therefore closer to redheaded Irish lasses) than America.Why Britain Rules!

Ignoring the fact that encouraging sexual activities out of children is just plain out wrong, this kind of activity is not the responsibility of government.

Sexual activity is normal, healthy human behavior, even in people as young as 15 or 16; the taboo against it is cultural, not biological. The government should, however, encourage those who are going to engage in sexual activity anyway to do so in a responsible manner.

The government is not in the business to teach sexual activity in a "responsible" manner. That is the job of the parent. And, I don't want to hear "but not all parents would do it because <insert reason here>". That's too easy an argument to just let the government take care of all social ills.

It is an obligation of the government, however, to do what it can to protect the health and welfare of its citizens. If the government does not promote sex education, and as a result both unwanted pregnancies and STDs become an out of control epidemic, then this will have a serious and negative impact on the social fabric and resources of the country, and the government is failing in its obligation to the people.

STDs can still be transferred via Oral Sex. If anyone believes that teenagers are going to get all excited about getting it on and then stop at Oral Sex, I'd like to show them some real estate in the Florida swamplands.

I agree, and that's why I said in a previous post in this thread that encouraging oral sex wouldn't work. I am all for encouraging responsible sexual activity in those who are going to be sexually active anyway.
