First you decide that it is UNESCO's fault despite the fact that the article doesn't mention UNESCO (don't know which part of your anatomy you pulled this from).

The title of your thread blames "the Swiss" despite it being just one demi-canton. Then you go on to expand the blame to "Europeans" without a shred of supporting evidence.

The article you link to complains that the federal Minister will not intervene despite the fact that he has absolutely no jurisdiction. You also conveniently ignore the fact that it has met with stiff resistance and that the box is not mean't for "five year olds" as you erroneously claim.

You are all over the place on this and, for me, have zero credibility in your comments.

"A guide contained in the sex boxes instructs kindergarten teachers to "show that contacting body parts can be pleasurable." It also recommends having children massage each other or to rub themselves with warm sand bags, all accompanied by soft music."
(Yawn.)

Plenty of Americans don't care either.

We humiliated ourselves back in 1999 with our treatment of Raoul Wuthrich. I don't suppose the Swiss like our way of dealing with things any more than you like theirs.

You think differently. Fine. Why not move to Europe? If not, do you have any political experience? I understand there will soon be an empty seat in Congress. Heard someone by the name of Weiner will be vacating - something about not understanding sexual boundaries and privacy.
Who knows? Maybe if Weiner got a toy chocha to play with in Kindergarten then he wouldn't feel compelled to send pictures of his ding-dong to random strange women right now as an adult who was raised according to US standards, not European.

Pashaw!

He just wanted to reach out and touch some-body digitally with his analog.

"analog-to-digital converter (abbr.: ADC)
noun
a device for converting analog signals to digital form."

That why you have the world's highest rate of teen pregnancy and STD's.

The age of consent here in Spain is 13. Our combined teenage pregnancy and abortion rate is the second lowest in the world at 12.4% per 1000 women. The combined rate in the USA is 85.8%. You shouldn't be pointing fingers pal.

Since you are in Spain, I think it behooves me to point out that maja is not in a position to make any claims on behalf of MOST Americans in ANY capacity.

Most religious zealots in America are sexually repressed and you can tell by the inordinate amount of news stories about priests who diddle altar boys, preachers who repeatedly rape and impregnate young teen girls, and pastors who post on craigslist to find twinks or bears who will give them a ride on the love canal. Let's not even get started on the FLDS.

Clearly, the US has a lot of room for improvement regarding the rates of teen pregnancies and STDs - and folks who say things like maja did are an integral part of the problem.

I prefer my American teen pregnancy rate than your extremely high unemployment rate

But thanks for posting your viewpoint. It helps parents to realize the type of people out there and what they will promote in our schools.
Well with 85.8% pregnancy/abortion rate perhaps you really should try something else. Your present way certainly isn't working.
