Middle School Birth Control
So kids 11-14 can get birth control pills without Mom and Dad knowing in a Maine Middle School? Wait...was that 11 years old???? Huh? I mean is it really 11 years old?
One thing that's increasingly irritated me for about the last 4 years are all of the Viagra, Levitra ect...ads on TV that openly discuss sex and "4 hour erections". Ever been watching with your 10 year old niece in the room? Or perhaps 8 year old nephew? Or any kid that doesn't need to be seeing ads like that? It's a little awkward. What kind of discussions does this spur for little Jimmy and his buddies or young Sally and her girlfriends at a sleepover?
Where do these drug companies get off putting those adds out at family viewing time and where do the networks who accept the add money get off approving it? Oh wait, could it possible be all about the money(as opposed to right and wrong) IN THE SHALLOW END OF THE POOL? Could this having something to do with young kids "bringing sexy back" at a younger and younger age? Could the national circus sourounding our friendlyneightborhood ex-President Clinton's horrific decision to play cigar and popsicle games with a 23....yes, 23 year old intern that he had lots of control and influence over have anything to do with it? Could the fact that Mom is just as likely these days to have to work to support our lifestyles versus nurturing and raising a child at home(at least until 5) have anything to do with it?
Just wondering. Thoughts anyone?
two comments:
Preach-on about this erectile disfunction medication. We can’t say certain words or see certain body parts till late at night, why not lump in these drugs with those rules. Clintons mistake was not taking advantage of a hotter intern (have you seen his wife), he needs some.

Clinton is a horrible example and role model for our nation’s youth. The ED drugs issue just burns me….it’s OK to let our kids be kids and have a little innocence without them learning about 4 hour boners at 8 years of age. It’s simply NOT APPROPRIATE. Too many people have swooned into “everything’s OK to show and talk about”....well guess what, part of my 1st amendendment right is to point out bullshit when it needs to be pointed out!
