but as for sex stuff I think children should not be exposed to it until they can comprehend it, thats something I'm really stern about because its sad to see all these babies having babies, and basically all these high schools becoming whorehouses, they think sex is the greatest thing (and it can be don't get me wrong) and since they see all these adults who don't say anything about it and praise it, a child is going to think its ok right off the bat, and no one really ever says anything about it until its too late....

and it doesn't help that school makes it sound like its ok to do it, as long as you wear a rubber, and my school is pushing that idea

and we have a high drop out rate due to pregnancy

this topic is making me think we should have a debate forum, but I know we won't because there will be too much drama :(

It is impossible for any person of any age to comprehend anything until they are introduced to it. It's called, Education.
dai*ma Most pregnacies are due to lack of information.

I say get em into it young, but i wouldnt let my kid smoke at that age. Id be happy for him to smoke when hes about 12+

I also dont smoke joints or even cigs infront of a kid, cos children seeem to think that smoking is "Cool" and thats why so many kids smoke.

personally I'm not comfortable with bringing children into headshops. I figure it this way, with all the trouble that headshops could face from law enforcement (in the U.S. at least) its best to keep a strict professionalism when going to headshops. My three basic rules are these:

1) Don't EVER mention cannabis to anyone while inside the headshop or in the area directly outside the headshop.
2) NEVER refer to a water pipe as a bong.
3) Don't go to a headshop smelling like you just came out of a 4 hour smoking session in your car.

Also, most shops only allow people that are 18+ to even enter the store (at least around where I live and out in San Franciso (in the nicer shops that don't sell crack pipes). Personally I view headshops like a porn shop (at least until cannabis is legalized). You wouldn't bring your child into a porn shop would you?

I agree with you,folks should not bring their children into a headshop,the last time I was in the headshop,there was a whole section devoted to sex games and toys in an open display in the middle of the aisle,at the height of most children.

Children should not be treated like little adults,they just need to be children and not be assaulted with adult things.

Have a good one ! :stoned:

Thanks Torog. It was nice to see that someone can take an opinion like an adult.

Agree or disagree, 90% of the posts here were made by children. You people can't take an opinion like a normal person, instead, you cuss and make silly assumptions. Unless you have something creative to say instead of repeating "retard" over and over, you kids should seriously consider what you're getting all worked up over. If you can't handle an online opinion, do yourself a favour and kill yourself now. :)

Everybody likes little kids. Its not like your bringing em into a bar or something. If youre talking about little punks, its kind of annoying unless they are actually cool.

Children are little adults and should be treated with the same respect as an old person. They need guidance though, and nurturing, just like animals. Heck, until we reach 6 - 7 we have the same intelligence as animals

Wow man... your parents really did a great job raising you...

That, what I quoted you, is EXACTLY what my mother said since I (and my siblings) where little.

OH MY!!!! a two headed dildo. Run for your lives!!!!!:dance: :dance:
I know plenty of dildo's with one head. Ya dig?
As for your thoughts on why half the kids are fucked up, and you seem to believe it's because of parents like me? Thats funny. We feel like it's because of people like you. wowie:dance:

dai*ma:thumbsup:
Imagine......900 acts of violence on TV every day, and you call being exposed to sex toys bad. If i may say so, thats what i call being ignorant.
Being informed doesnt mean particpating. Being informed means better choices. Sex toys arent that scarey to you, are they? Have you been attacked by one? Robbed by one? ====
I'll tell you what else is ignorant. Sending your kids off into a world with stupid uninformed people. Thats down right dangerous. I'm glad my kids and grand kids know what a condom is. I'm glad my kids and grand kids know about cannabis, drugs, booze, tobacco, sex. Odds are in my favor that when they encounter these things on their own that the decisions they make just may save their lives. Kids are 3 and 4 watching violent acts every day.
My kids? they play music. They work. They are responsible human beings.
They know how to ask for a condom. They know how to talk to their friends when they see their friends make unhealthy choices. Call me a bad parent if you want, but that doesnt necessarily make it so. Bad parents dont give a fuck what happens to their kids and they dont seem to mind lying to them. I dont lie to my kids, and i care enough about them to not let Mr. goody two shoes tell them what morals they should be encompassing.:stoned:
