Find out why all the problems skyrocketed after the 60s?
Then they could recommend that we return to the cultural norms that kept STD's, teen pregnancy, homosexuality, etc. at bay until the sexual revolution of the 60s.
All those chickens that came home to roost and they just don't know what caused it...hum.
most of the under 35 crowd here haven't a clue as to where you are coming from
....but I do and you are so right but I fear the worm turned some time back and we are still a ways from folks getting back to "normal"
...it's like we've been on an ergot binge for about 4 decades now with sexual mores
It isn't the conservatives that is causing the problems. One of the studies linked on another thread said that average age of losing virginity in the US is 17.4 years (and France and Holland were even older 17.7 and 18). In America you are made to feel an outcast, loser, prude, or nerd if you haven't done it by 14.
In 1965 23.6% of black babies were born out of wedlock compared to 3.07% for whites. The government chose to ignore the moral component. Now illegitimate births are up to 69% in the black community and the white community is up to 22%. Among American born Latino mothers, the illegitimate birth rate is 48%. It's obvious that sex education in public schools hasn't solved the problem.
