I agree that "the walk" is much more effective than "the talk". Although....many times threats can be effective. Especially so...if the one who is making it, has a track record of following thru.

Whether it was "pointless" or not....I cannot tell at this junction of the story. I ask you, do you always know the answer you will get...before you make a statement or ask a question?

FWIW-

Their rationalization is that because humans - especially adolescents - have absolutely no control over their sex impulses and are essentially no different than rutting animals, teaching abstinence is unnatural, because no one can scientifically remain abstinent. Their argument is that it's like trying to teach a pig to sing - wastes time and annoys the pig. So when kids are taught that abstinence is a good tactic to remain disease and unwanted pregnancy free, they become discouraged and ignorant and go out and rut like crazy without any condoms, since they don't know what they are; not having been taught in school.

Their view of humans is that we are nothing but animals. Actually animals have more regulation and order than what their view of humans is.

They have no science to back up their claim. It is merely the screeching and howling of those who are filled with anger and peurile lust for power.

"The Mother says IF."

We can't expect anything different. This is a learned response on her part:

"Johnny, IF you do that one more time, you're going into time-out!"

"Mary, I'm going to count to ten. IF you don't stop, you're going into time out!"

"Johnny, I'm going to tell you one more time!" IF you keep doing that, you're going into time-out!"

"Mary, I'm going to count to ten one more time! IF you keep doing that you're going into time-out!"

And so forth to sickening ad infinitum......

As a PR move, all we need to do is mention "Michael Jackson" early and often when they talk of how wonderful homosexuality in the family can be...

Cheers!

Mom needs medication. -- . . . Mom needs alcohol -- . . . If she was decent parent she would use this as a way of teaching her children instead all this trauma. . . . See How Easy! The child learned tolerance without submitting to acceptance, kept the important values of the family AND kept peace with the school (a priority according to St. Paul).

Your post is cute (i.e., "obviously straining for effect"). But do you really believe what you wrote about tolerance?

Suppose, for example, that someone were to hand a poster promoting, say, Catholicism, or Mormonism, or Calvinism. Would you be offering the same advice? (And more to the point, would the school even allow a poster with a religious theme?)

That should be "hang a poster."
