targeting a single person on thought is one thing thru discussion is one thing..telling them they're a complete moron before explaining ur position on the subject and ur objection to their level of intelligence is another

I just don’t understand how adults are not stepping up to take responsibility

I really think again that parenting is so necessary

There needs to be a large pressure to and light on good parenting

arusu ...it's social constructs that is changing in both good and bad ways...

I mean look at parents these days, they literally fucking throw electronics at their kids to shut them up

I think it is difficult. My parents taught me right. But then when you get to the point of having privileges like having a phone, you get slammed with choices. When a teen has choices, especially the one's pushed by tv, movies, music, pop culture, you tend to go with what is popular and not what your parent's taught you.

most of the younger parents never had parents to take the time with them...because their parents were too busy so they threw electronics at them during their growing up periods

Exactly I get that struggle. I’m not saying that there isn’t issues but still it doesn’t excuse that kind of parenting.

both my parents worked but at least they took the time to spend time with me and my other siblings when they could ...either for good teachings or for punishment ..but at least they spent time with us

There are so many excuses and we need to change that. I really cannot sympathize with people who strive to be good parents. I know it takes time and experience but again. More effort.

elders are good resource for good parenting ...i used to babysit alot...sure tech can distract the young but informative useful tech that they can interact with is more effective than just movies/tv/video games

That’s really awesome! My parents have worked their butt off to teach me. And as you can see I make my own choices like being rude to people online (even though he technically blamed kids for having sex with adults).

I don't think he was blaming kids for having sex with adults, but blaming kids for having sex at a younger age.

I agree. I believe that technology and the internet can be use for good. But we all know that’s not majority of the content popular today

well media and culture pushing was fault there for the youth getting sexualized too early when not properly trained in thinking processes(for example, see core math)

He literally said kids will have sex, just look at stories of kids having sex with teachers. It’s so obvious to see that kids really don’t know what they’re going through. My argument is that it’s the adults fault because they fully understand what the situation is. 14 year olds will say yes to anything!

Actually, he didn't blame anybody, he simply said it was something that was happening more often.

hell i was horny as hell in hs....but i knew the legal age of consent..at the time in the city it was 18, state was 16....i saved myself til early-mid 20's before engaging in any sexual relations

I’m not saying they don’t hold responsible either. I’m just saying that again adults need to step up. Stop blaming the kids and look at the environment of them.

I agree. But let's not assume someone's argument based on a statement, that everybody can agree is true, that statement being that teens are having sex more often at younger ages.

I know its sounds cold but lets get real here. 14 year olds regularly have sex these days. Its so common that we see 14 year olds having sex with teachers almost weekly on the news.

agreed ..it's not just the kids fault, it's the environment and parents lack of noticing it

Which I don't think that is cold at all. It is a basic statement, that I think is a pretty accurate fact.

No I was quoting Ironman

I know.

actually if u really look into the constitutional and admiralty history of ur township/city/state consent laws....most states never had a fixed age of consent on a constitutional level..it was mostly admiralty set via court cases or mob pressure via culture at the time

I don’t think it’s cold either because I agree but again the way he wrote it shows not accountability on the adults

I am saying, that is something that isn't an argument or even something controversial. He stated that 14 year olds are having sex regularly. I am not happy about it, but it seems to be true.

I don't think he attributed accountability.

i tried warning ppl for over a yr about dropping admiralty laws in favor of constitutional only

He didn’t care to address it next to 14 year olds are having sex which we all can agree to a level.

Not only that but rather than saying “let me discipline my kid” he said he’s get her emancipated

What kind of mindset is that?

If society is the danger as parents we should be the solution

Are we seriously going to say “oh shit it’s inevitable, kids are gonna have sex despite everything.” And give up?!!

Why do you think so many cases of pedos have surged this year. The “smash community” scandal.

I don't think that is the best way to handle it. Anyhow, I need to get back to work.

If you'd like to have a further discussion at some point feel free.

don't look in political memes

Of course!
