A pregnant teen isn't the worst thing in the world. Far worse is the man that grows up a slave to passion who views women as sexual objects and whose primary concern is his own interests. Because I promise you that if we continue to allow our culture to encourage our children to have sex, that's what we'll get. Plenty of men and women who lack the moral structure to make the world a better place.

Just to make sure we're clear, the psychology you referenced and the psychology I referenced don't disagree with each other -- they're talking about completely different subjects. Nor am I disagreeing with what you cited. I simply believe that there is a heck of a lot more at stake here than just pregnancy and STDs. That's where the science falls short. Statistics can only measure physical, external things. But life isn't all about physical, external things.
What I advocate is raising a generation that knows how to love and respect others; that has self-control and lives for others rather than just themselves, and believes in the morality and family values that our world needs if it's going to survive. Obviously avoiding teen pregnancy is extremely important, but if that's all we're worried about, we've got a short-sightedness problem.

why do you think we don't teach lads how to light cigarettes or open beer bottles? I mean, by your logic, we should, shouldn't we? we wouldn't want to "suppress knowledge" after all. My point still stands: when you teach someone how to do something, You are telling them that it is something they can and should be doing, And you're adding incentive to actually do it.

You're not disagreeing with me, saviourself, you're disagreeing with psychologists. If you want to fight that battle, go ahead. I'm just telling you what they have said. My two cents are that the trend is almost certainly getting worse. Parents don't get respected in pop culture anymore. Turn on Disney channel and you'll see what I mean. Norwegian confirmed that -- kids already want to do the exact opposite of what their parents say. The last thing we need is for society to further encourage that rebellion.
But your comparison of sex ed to seatbelts is silly. we all need seatbelts because accidents happen. Having sex is no accident. It's the result of a series of poor, irresponsible choices. And I know from personal experience that those mistakes can be avoided. I went to a large high school in an area where abstinence was the primary fours of sexual education, and I could probably count the number of pregnant girls in the school on one hand.

Saviourself you seem to have a very idealized concept of parent-child relationships, as if children always give 100% heed to everything their parents say. Remember we're talking about teenagers here. Social psychologists have said that on average children get only about 50% of their culture from their family. The other half comes from peers. Add natural teenage rebelliousness and over-active hormones and a general lack of wisdom and self-control on top of that, and you do the math.
And if we want to make it even worse, people naturally are attracted towards "living on the edge" and "how much can I get away with?" If a teen's parents are telling him/her one thing and society is saying exactly the opposite, you can bet that he/she is going to favor the option that is a) easier and b) makes him/her feel more "free".
Teaching a kid how to put a condom on is teaching them that it's normal and okay for kids to be putting condoms on. That's the problem.

But the question was about the accessibility of birth control. There's obviously no way a kid is going to go through his/her teens knowing nothing about "safe sex," or birth control. But if society is handing out condoms to teenagers, they're directly counteracting the parent's wishes.
I have a friend in England who told me about the sex ed classes he went to, and how they included actually teaching girls how to put condoms on, hands on and everything. That's pretty sick in more ways than one.

Even if it's my kid? It doesn't work that way. Parents parent their children. That's their job. Society does not, because society is corrupt. If society is teaching kids the opposite of what their parents are, something is very wrong.

Some of us are just stuck on this old-fashioned idea that sex is a special thing that promiscuous teens shouldn't be messing around with, and that people aren't slaves to their hormones. Giving out birth control is basically just giving out permission to have sex, and we say no to that.

That was my thought ... it's like, 'you're really gonna let your hormonal teenage daughter decide?'

I was kinda thinking the same thing. I disagree with his position, but admire that he thinks for himself and takes a stand (although it's probably more likely that he got the idea from someone else). But the Pledge of Allegiance is about ideals. when you say it, you're not agreeing that things are great the way they are, you're pledging yourself to stand up for and work for those principles.

Never said I'm perfect. :P
But there is a big difference between taking a few minutes to get some laughs and spending hours and hours living a second life that isn't real. I think it's psychologically dangerous to literally live a second life in a fake world. The real world is the one that needs help -- all the time we waste in a virtual one is robbing God and our fellow human beings of the contribution we should be making to the real world.

Please people, cut the Bible-bashing crap. Those kind of statements are ignorant and stupid. The Bible doesn't tell us to do those things -- please educate yourself. What te Bible does tell us to do is love and reach out to people. If you want to argue with someone who is discriminating against people for religious reasons, the Bible is your ally, not theirs. Don't try to defame te book -- advocate it instead. Remind them what Jesus taught about love being the most important commandment, and help them see that their priorities are screwed up.
