I'm not sure anyone can really control "stimulus". It's part of the growing up process to just LEARN how to control your behavior, regardless of the stimulus. Men and women don't suddenly disappear once a person gets married. One has to control themselves and stay faithful... If I'm trying to lose weight, I stop eating the Krispy Kreme's happily provided by the boss every Friday.

This incident happened to 3rd graders playing tag... it was probably an accident and hardly calls for a 3 day suspension. This kid won't even want to pass a note to a girl now for fear of accidentally brushing her hand with his finger.

It may have been an accident, and may not have. By and large you do agree that we're in a society with increased teen pregnancy, and teen crimes than when you and I were kids.

You and I are old enough and mature enough but more than that we were raised in an era of responsibility so that we know how to avoid Krispy Kreme's. But what if we were raised in a society where from our earliest memories everyone that was portrayed to us as "cool" ate Krispy Kreme's all of the time. If every single televison show had people eating Krispy Kreme's. If the games and the music were all explicit about how to eat Krispy Kreme's, if all of the commercials had inuendo's about Krispy Kreme's..... I mean if you were raised in a society that was in many ways centered upon Krispy Kreme's, do you think it would be more difficult for you to avoid them now? And how difficult would it have been to avoid them at age 11 or 12?

I always thought you shouldn't over-react too much if you find young children playing "doctor" which would be much more like sexual harassment than a game of tag ever could be.
