A reasonable response, so I tender my apology for the earlier response. It was a knee-jerk response to our prior contacts.
Clinton didn't polarize BJs any more than Bush polarized cocaine abuse. But in both cases, regardless of cause, there are severe consequences. AIDS is on the rise, not the decline, in America, as are most STDs. Teen pregnancy is as well. I have two daughters, and I don't like the idea of them giving goodnight hummers to their boyfriends when they start dating. I can't honestly believe any father would.
Munkii said "In a perfect world"... then said in that world kids would use condoms. Condoms are not 100% foolproof at preventing pregnancy OR STDs. In a perfect world the kids would wait until they are not kids to have sex. May not be totally realistic, but you know what? Sometimes the fight is about where you make your stand. Do you give up and concede you have no control, or do you go down swinging? They're my kids, and I plan on fighting to the bitter end. I might even lose, but it won't be because I gave up before the fight was engaged.
I empathize with your working class background, because I come from similar digs. I've had a job since I was 14-years-old. My mother raised her orphaned siblings (four of them) while raising six of her own. My step-father worked in the factory, but that was one job for 12 people. I wasn't "packed off to college", I worked three jobs at a time to put myself through, the rest I borrowed (student loan, which I paid back in full). I am not rich by any means even now, though I am quite happy.
