Part two: I doubt that many of those figures are anything like accurate. In fact as i have grown up more and more of my adult peers have come out as LGBT+ as it has become more normalised (Ireland voted for marriage equality in ~2018, when most of my peers we're in there mid 30s, so the % out increa...

First part of the response I am adressing the idea that not talking about sex or censoring it in all educational contexts is actually any benefit to the children. The evidence shows that places which have a comprehensivd sex ed program get what are considered positive results. (Of course people bein...

A) No, evidence shows that comprehensivd sex education leads to lower rates of unwanted pregnancy in teens and lower rates of sexual activity in general. We have multiple countries worth of evidence for this. You didn't answer my question but answered a different one (for example perhaps we could h...

I'm not sure this is true. Oversexualizationnof minors isn't a problem. Using words like penis and vagina with 4 and 5 year olds so they can describe their own anatomy (and coincidentally empower them to report sex abuse) is not sexualisation. But it is something parents in some places have ben 'pa...

You are exaggerating a bit here. It was a single Christian charter school in Florida which did this. I mean it is Florida - what do you expect? Jamie always does. But, on the subject of the censorship of art for the sake of the children, would you take action regarding Pan and the She-Goat? What I'...

Abbott and Costello

To me, I know, I am not a power user, but I will give my 2 cents anyway. No, I won't, because I know that I will be attacked as hateful. I like to go to FTF tournaments, when I am not banned, and I don't want to make enemies. I think the hypersensitivity has killed public discourse. There are some ...

Rephrasing for a US audience - "If you like your drop-down UI, you can keep your drop-down UI"...

This is probably a hard feature to add as I suspect the primary key for your user is your id rather than a surrogate key.

I don't even think this is controversial. We fought the entire Second World War. Nazis should die. No controversy. What makes a person a Nazi? I ask because it is pretty common these days for people in political discussions to call someone a Nazi. Some left leaning people in the US believe anyone t...

Hi, get paid enough to comfortably buy a home in Colorado's Rocky Mountains . The long list would be lengthy if I gave it, but the point is that this facility is really amazing. It is great because of the people here collectively; it has nothing to do with diplomacy. If you work online you earn ver...

In a previous thread, bo said that PPSC wouldn't come back on his watch.

Since bo is now gone, does that mean we can bring back PPSC?

Didn't South Park tell us to blame Canada?

Hmmm. Some inconsistencies in Seymour Hersh's story. Now I am less confident of the story:

No. Ewww...

Do you have a link? I hadn't been getting that impression

I have seen a bit from him on YouTube, but have not read any of his books yet. My initial take is that he seems to paint a bit of a rosy picture for the USA. He's totally turned 180 degrees on Ukraine (like the rest of us, he thought the resistance would be short lived and Russia would win even if ...

Reducing porn addiction in society requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses both the individual and societal factors that contribute to its development. Here are some strategies that can be effective in reducing porn addiction: Education: Providing education and resources on the harmful effe...

Banning all forms of pornography can have a number of harmful effects on individuals and society as a whole. Here are some of the key ways that a ban on porn could be harmful: Restriction of freedom of speech and expression: Pornography is a form of speech and expression that is protected by the Fir...
