Mac is right. Self control, self respect, self denial, self discipline, respect for others should be the standard...protective devices should be available for those who don't want to maintain the standard...thus avoiding even further weakening of the human fabric. Let's move away from "man as animal"...and raise our standards of human conduct.
The old saying that a stiff dick has no conscience is as true in conservative communities as anywhere. A look at the stats is enough to show that a bible and a christian upbringing is no protection against unplanned teen pregnancies and STDs.
The difference is that conservatives may not always meet the standard...but they are not out there calling for lowering the standard...which is a hallmark of lib philosophy.
What standard? If you are speaking of Christian dogma or prudish Victorian attitudes about sex then you are speaking of something that never existed in reality. The reality is that people are going to fuck each other no matter what and arming them with misinformation and threats of everlasting damnation is not going to change a thing and result in a lot of surprise fatherless babies as has always been the case.
