I can't get my head round what's happening today.

On the one hand we have the PC lot telling us to do this, do that, and do the other then we have idiots like this NHS crowd who (to me) go to the other extreme.

Why can't we just go back to good old fashioned sensibilities on everything!!!!

Mmmm...

I think the (dubious) perceived wisdom is that if children understand that it can be enjoyable (with the right person) they are more likely to wait until they DO find the right person.

I think that smacks of people using hindsight into their own situations and expecting young people to learn from others' mistakes.

Most people learn from their own mistakes don't they? Rather than someone else's? Definitely a case of don't do as I did, do as I tell you I wish I'd done!!

I have heard that drugs and alcohol can also be good fun.

... however there are consequences.

To think it's my taxes that pay for these jokers. :evil:
