        you know what causes some twisted views on sex? teaching kids abstinence only and then supporting a culture that shamelessly uses sexual titillation to sell things constantly. the market is the market, just stop being such hypocrites. it's hurting these kids in so many ways.

        Yet the majority of the state supports a philandering, predatory man in the White House. Dissonance much?

        Insanity= doing same thing, over & over & expecting different results. Abstinence PROVEN to be ineffective & dangerous. Does anyone remember Duggar family? Comprehensive, sex. ed., full knowledge of how human body works, is ONLY route that should be promoted in PUBLIC school.
