    It is a given, is it not, that those below a certain age are not of
    sufficient maturity to make certain decisions for themselves. That’s why
    our species has the concept of “parents” and “parenting” at all. Only nowadays, society has become so complex that the parents of a child
    cannot, on their own, supply sufficient guidance and care to ensure the
    child grows up the right way. That’s why we have schools and
    schoolteachers, for one thing.

    As the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child”. And as Marshall McLuhan pointed out, that “village” is nowadays well and truly global.

    When I was 16 I snuck into movie theatres to watch x-rated movies, which
    is probably more harmful than watching them on one's phone and certainly requires far more effort.

    And therefore you did it less. That’s the difference.

    The only solution is to actually educate kids about sex ...

    Some right-wingers have religious objections to that though, don’t they?

    Just because some fool claims something...

    About 3am on Tuesday 6 May 2025, officers from Campbelltown Police
    Area Command attended a home on Copperfield Drive, Rosemeadow, after
    three men allegedly threatened a 24-year-old female occupant with a
    firearm during a home invasion.

    Corse nothing like that ever happened under the Libs, eh ?

    In my electorate which was guaranteed Labor one till boundaries
    changed

    Your electorate is completely irrelevant

    When they did no doubt the Lib's were trying to make a good impression
    Their MP was a Local cop that lived in Campbelltown, they most
    certainty listened to him and got rid of the 3M streets

    Bullshit

    ROSEMEADOW residents tell tales of woe about failed attempts to get

    Most Certainly when John Fahey went federal, his replacement was Pat

    his inauguration speech was concerns about the new John Howard Flight

    Bullahir

    Same was happing with their Labor representatives, booth parties are

    Are the Libs still around? Their copying of Boris Johnson, Trump,

    They have an objection to reducing profit - even for overseas
    operators. One answer is to make them liable for harassment and not
    picking up predators - that sadly means we will see that behaviour
    continuing, but a fine would give a bigger incentive to stop predatory behaviour early. They also arrange their affairs to minimise taxation
    - a higher rate of GST for social media would help . . .

    There has to be some balance between freedom and control. In the USA
    various venereal diseases, like clamidia and gonorrhea are out of
    control, especially among blacks. The mechanics of sex must be
    combined with social skills & responsibilities and should be taught
    from a young age. Various religions oppose this mainly in the
    endeavor to breed more adherents, and the costs of caring for bastards
    and gravid mothers.

    Yes, we should direct our attention to adults, especially the Hominid
    old farts who will not be tutored. After all it's the adults who have
    the feral kids. I have long recommended the re-introduction of
    corporal punishment to adequately correct, admonish, instruct and
    improve the condition of randy sticky-fingered teen creatures.

    the lack of discipline at all levels in society is why we have so many
    social problems today.

    Bullshit

    problems that other countries, notably Asian,don't have

    More bullshit

    because they punish people for bad behaviour and breaching societal
    dictates.

    More bullshit

    There is no bullshit. Singapore is famous for admonishing, catching, sequestering and sentencing those refractory brats who daub wall with
    their vandalisms. These vandals are stripped and caned. Hence
    Singapore is almost graffiti free.
    Curiously this has not been taken up in other countries, even though
    it works, and is the cheapest form of punishment there is.
    We, the long suffering taxpayer, has to fork out $quillions to finance
    cleanup operations where a good flogging would so the job for almost
    nothing.
