Way to go. When proven wrong, you simply move the goal posts and rewrite the meaning of words.
Look up "explicit", it's certainly needed if you really believed that. But I know you actually DID mean "explicit" in the proper way (no pun intended):

If you just meant it had sex scenes, there would be no point in using the word in the first place, because you wrote it contained "a lot of explicit sex", which is factually dead wrong.
Then you went on to use the same word to ask about Copenhagen and there too you mentioned "explicit".

Sheesh, it's like discussing with Sarah Palin.

I'm glad that people are happy with the sex education their children are receiving. I was just curious. I learn a lot from people from other countries. I see how you took the question the wrong way. I didn't make a judgment on Denmark or anybody else here, however. I don't mind discussing the situation in the US, but feel that we'd be going too far off topic.
You're the one who brought it up, and made unsubstantiated claims masked as questions.


Quote:
To wrap up, I have three kids. The youngest is 10. I don't regret not showing them sexual movies.
I really don't care how many kids you have, as it's not relevant.
Am I talking for showing kids sex movies, or as you put it so strawman-ish:Show kids explicit sex movies? No, not all. I'm arguing against the notion that lobbyist groups such as "The Moral Majority", "Mothers against [sex]" and so forth, should have any say whatsoever. They should take care of their own kids, and one of the best ways to take of your kids is to educate them, or have other, more qualified people educate them.


Quote:
As far as education, Both my wife and I know about sex so we decided to teach them ourselves about sex. That way, we figured, we can teach them sexula morals along with it.
Be my guest. Noone is preventing you from doing as you please. I just hope for your kids, that that education is actual education and not moralizing preaching.


Quote:
I haven't shown them many violent movies either, but a movie with violence in a certain context like Gladiator or Saving Private Ryan is good for distinguishing between good and bad applications of certain virtues like bravery, honor, and patriotism.
Patriotism ...

Okay, I'll just ignore that whole paragraph.

Quote:
If I owned Amazon, I would sell most books, but would stop at books that celebrated the sexualization of children. I'd hope that most Americans wouldn't feel that a huge loss.
And we're back to the essense: Where precisely do you draw the line? Sex between a 17 year old boy and 21 year old girl? What about a 15 year old girl and fourteen year old boy, that is written as a romantic fiction novella, but with educational value also talking about condoms and so on?

Where exactly would you draw the line? And how you would you do it without being arbitrary based on some subjective morals that only you posses?
