Yes, silly Americans. BTW, your children are not future leaders of the world, they’re the laborers of the future. Don’t believe, compare your academic test scores to the rest of the worlds’. Compare your countries physical health assessment to the rest of the world. Any of you ever traveled to Europe, South America, Asia? A majority of the people there, thin and inshape. Hell, it’s not even a question or not if a guy should have visible abs in most of those places, it’s a given. The women, many of them could naturally pass as models (Shakiras where everywhere when I last went to Columbia).

Americans are fat, dumb, and arrogant. The only reasons why present day Americans have it so good, is due to the blood, sweat, and tears of your ancestors. The Democracy you’re so proud of is already slowly losing itself due to the lack of abilities of your own people. Feel free to the get on the high horse when you want, since it’s all you seem to like to do, just remember that when you get off, don’t forget to shovel the horse shit before you leave.

I went to Watashiya’s blog to see for myself what she wrote… Only the blog entry that everybody’s talking about doesn’t show up. In fact, nothing more recent than an entry from 5/19 shows up. Er?

As somebody who speaks both Chinese (Cantonese) and English, I have some experience with having trouble articulating myself when I’m thinking of a word in one language but I dunno how to explain what I mean in the other.

I think she prolly meant something like “open minded ppl who are willing to give the book a chance”

I was like… WTF!? Commendable? :O

I dun think there’s nething WRONG with ppl who would want to read it (or maybe so? I haven’t read it so I dunno how bad it might get XD)

But they shouldn’t be “commended” for it XD

I’m mildly shocked, and a little irritated by this question, but I’m going to answer it, because I feel it’s important for people to understand this. I know, because I talk to kids on a daily basses, and most of them can’t wait to tell you what’s on their mind. They talk about what happened at school, the play date they’re going to have that day, a movie they’ve seen, what mommy said about daddy, and all sorts of other T.M.I. The only time I’ve ever had a child try to talk about sex with me, it was quit apparent that they really didn’t know what they were talking about. They only wanted to impress upon me that they had some “adult” knowledge, so that they themselves could feel like they were one of the big kids. They may know that it’s there, but they don’t know what it really is. I’m going to take it on faith (as we all should) that 99.9% of all kids do not think about having sex at age 8. They shouldn’t at that age. They’re not ready for it, and they don’t need to be. K.I.S.S.I.N.G is a big enough deal for them. Please, take my word for it. Children are better off not knowing about having sex until they really need to. Let them discover it on their own, and then we can help them to understand it in a way that dose not brake their trust in us, as adults. But hey, that’s just me. Believe what ever thing makes you happy to believe about it.

Honestly, my knee-jerk reaction to your post was, “Are you kidding?” But I guess you do raise some valid points. However, I don’t know what your points have to do with this Nymphet controversy. You make a good argument in favor of sex education. However, when you ask, “The thing is–shouldn’t kids have better teaching tools about sexuality than Playboy?” I have to ask in return, do you think this manga about a nymphomaniac 8-year old girl that teaching tool? I haven’t read this comic, but from what I’ve read the answer is a clear NO. I don’t think an American publisher refusing to translate and print this equates with reducing children to asexual teddy bears.

here, in the U.S. I hope, as always, sex with underage kids will be despised.
