Just like with drugs, if parents take a responsible role in their kids lives and educate them about the dangers, then their children should make smart, informed decisions.

It's a difference of opinion - I find it difficult to accept that providing contraception "encourages" anything. We're talking about two separate motivations... do young people use condoms to prevent pregnancy, to prevent contracting STDs or both? And if you remove one of those risks (pregnancy) then will they ignore the others?

Johnny, the greatest sexual revolution in history in the 60s was a direct result of the introduction of the birth control pill.

Some of the best intentioned parents can have some pretty effed up kids. I believe what you say, but be ready for a surprise or two. Try to remember when you were a kid.....for me it was a long time ago.

Correct. I dislike all people equally.

Absolutely. I was an eff up at times and as a kid, I definitely dodged a few bullets. Just like most of the guys here, I was brought up to be responsible for my own actions, to make smart decisions in life and to try not to be too much of a screw up. Frequently I failed at the latter two, but then the whole "take responsibility" kicked in.
