If you don't understand the difference between a 17 or 18 year old having sex and 11 year old and are trying to insinuate that I don't, that I equivocate pre-teens having sex to young adults doing so, then you are an idiot.

You ought to stop by the infidels.org webpage on logical fallacies, because you just committed a couple of them. Specifically, special pleading and ad hominem. The "you are an idiot" is an obvious ad hominem.

But I'd like to concentrate on the special pleading. Why is it okay for a 17-year-old to sleep with someone she "really cares about" and knows "well enough," but not okay for an 11-year-old to do the same thing?

Today you say "teenagers are going to have sex and need to be taught how to do so 'safely'". But other people already say the same thing about 11-year-olds. Why are they wrong, but you are right?

Also, in case you missed the topic of this thread, it's about oral sex in middle schools. You know, 11, 12, 13, 14-year-old kids. That's who we're talking about. That's who the educrats think need to be taught how to put on a condom. Why does an 11-year-old need to know how to put on a condom, other than to have sexual activity?

It doesn't matter. The school shouldn't be teaching kids anything other than science, math, literature, history, and grammar.
