Thank God for Joe Biden and the Democrats!
Someone's got to be there to clean up after Iraq Wars...Great Recessions...Attempted Coups...and a total inability to initiate legislation that improves Health Care, Infrastructure, etc. that benefits ALL Americans...
If you don't agree, pick a topic and I'll debate it with you.

on that topic.
Let's be honest...you're not asking that question to debate or learn...you're just making a statement that you don't like the idea.
Got to run, I'll be back later.

Which was the reason for the direct question that you won't answer.
I'd be genuinely curious to know how those results were gathered and tabulated. And to know if there is any intersection between the culture around sex in the EU and what is described in the linked article?
I'd also be interested to know if you agree with the recent changes several EU counties have made banning gender affirming medical interventions for minors.

But his friends hold this view, so what can he do but post links to ridiculous articles on the topic.
elsewhere...as far as teaching kids, it is done in an 'Age Appropriate' manner...and a guiding principle is to teach the kids BEFORE they get to the next steps in their development, so that they are prepared as opposed to surprised by the changes. "Sexuality" is not all about intercourse...it involves such concepts as "Relationships"...and "Respect" for others which when learned properly helps a great deal when teaching pubescent and adolescents about what's appropriate...if they've been educated well beforehand it can work wonders, like in the Netherlands and Sweden.
For a European view on teaching kids at different ages, start at Page 24 in the attached link.
Too many people are so paralyzed by the very topic that NOTHING gets done to prepare our young people for what EVERYONE goes through...as a result, the U.S. has unnecessarily high rates of teen pregnancies and STDs as opposed to many European countries...
Sort of makes sense, doesn't it...again...read the link...all of it, but especially the section starting on Page 24.

We can change or minds based on new information and new understanding. I actively seek out new information and understanding to that end. Ty tells us he has that information, and that new perspective, and he refuses to share it. It's selfish, really.

join you on this one if it's that important to you...as the linked article shows, the tactic worked, but in terms of "Democracy", that value was not sacrificed as in the end it all comes down to letting the voter decide which candidate resonates with their views/policies...or not. The Dems did not tell any lies or misinform the voters as to what those candidates believed in...btw, the GOP and all their candidates were free to raise as much as they wanted and give it to who they wanted.
I look at this as the Democrats giving opponents 'enough rope to hang themselves'...clearly, the Dems had a better sense of what the electorate wanted.
Now on a broader scale, if you'd like to see "Citizens United" overturned and make other dramatic reductions in campaign financing...I'll link arms with you.

So not much debate there.
But excusing it away as the voters ultimately deciding is naïve and silly.
