    I know, keep it clean, but there's a lot of other stuff out there, especially on TV that's much, much worse.

    Well, it's just that much more sad. Oh, we don't want kids to have sex at a young age, but let's shove it down their throats and expect them not to be curious about it. :sigh:

    Yeah, but what's sadder is kids that don't know about condoms or have been told they are not acceptable. Kids are going to and will have sex, regardless of TV (trust me, I grew up in the 70/80's [don't laugh, you 60's generation]), so encouraging safe sex is vital to prevent unwanted pregnancies, abortions, and STDs. Trying to hide this is an abomination, IMHO.

      Well, this is a different can of worms. And, it's really kinda difficult to talk about this stuff outside of the SB.

        My point was I'm not calling them stupid over different beliefs. I'm calling them stupid over the blatant hypocrisy that revolves around them. And, I'm sure not that many kids visit this place, but watch how people accept sex in the SB and shun off everything else that's controversial. It's sad. Nevertheless, I'm sure there are young kids learning to code that do visit here, and as long as that's the case and I haven't given up on CP yet, I will not accept this garbage in the lounge.

        Maybe we don't agree on the kid sister rules. What's the age cutoff? Me and my kid sister talked about this stuff all the time, back in the day...

        Off the top of my head I don't know. I'd probably think 12 would be nice, but that idea may change if I ever had a kid. I seriously doubt anything before 10 is acceptable. My hunch would be around puberty so they'd at least have some understanding of what in the world is going on.

        That's probably because of the kid sister rule in the lounge, so it's good that you raise the point when you think it's offensive. The SB is the Wild Wild West! I'm just saying that kids know this stuff already, so don't make or break CP on it.

              That's a great philosophy, and one that I follow also. Unfortunately, we're outnumbered by the media that are all about the almighty dollar. It's just funny when I talk to my 12 year old nephew, and he's talking about this stuff, which makes ME uncomfortable! Makes me feel like a stodgy old fart (I'm only 36, damnit!)

                  I feel the same way. Did Volkswagon get it right: Lead, Follow or Get out of the way? I try to provide inspiration for the kids, leading by example, but sometimes it seems like a lost cause in this day and age. Now I know how my parents felt. :->

                    Josh talks about condoms in the lounge and the idiots give him a 4.4, but for all things good with the world don't let anyone mention the word "Jesus" in the lounge. The sick bastards that do should be killed!! I mean, what if kids hear the word "Jesus"? I shudder to think. Really, it's sad to think that loser/dorks here that can't get laid and are obsessed with sex is the majority. God, did I ever pick the wrong profession to hang out with people with.

                      Um, ok. I've been around the block a few times, but I don't think that makes it ok to post this stuff in the lounge.

                              I think more kids hear/talk about condoms in school than Jesus. What school did you go to?

                                    Your statement would've made sense, had the OP been a hypocrit...

                                      Josh talks about condoms in the lounge and the idiots give him a 4.4, but for all things good with the world don't let anyone mention the word "Jesus" in the lounge. The sick bastards that do should be killed!! I mean, what if kids hear the word "Jesus"? I shudder to think. Really, it's sad to think that loser/dorks here that can't get laid and are obsessed with sex is the majority. God, did I ever pick the wrong profession to hang out with people with.

                                      You mean a male-dominated profession? I'm sure this place is tame & civilised compared to a construction site. ;P As for your rant in general - there is a bit of a gray area that comes down to a personal decision as to whether it abides by the PG rating. The fact is the Lounge is a place for jokes and light-hearted humour, and it's also a fact that sexual innuendo is humourous. Maybe it is an obsession for some, but mostly it's just typical male banter - which is one aspect that makes the Lounge a cool place to hang out. And so long as comments aren't explicit, they don't break the rules. But I guess that's just my opinion. You have yours, and you're clearly standing up for what you believe in.

                                        :) Well, FWIW, I wasn't thinking of you when I said that. There are a few decent people here, and that's really the only thing that's kept me staying here over the years.
