I so agree
If you read my post on abortion I touch abit on the subject.In Africa thousands are dying and suffering because of aids yet people who advocate abstention and monogamy as a way of stemming the flood get laughed at as unrealistic.What happened to choice?And accepting consequences of the choices we make?Even here in New Zealand every criminal had a terrible upbringing which he blames for hurting other people.

Actually, a young person who sees liberal thinking all around them can not possibly know that they are to behave conservatively unless their parents explain to them in detail the consequences of liberal behavior long before they have the chance to go astray.

I Disagree.
By the time that you are in your teens and twenties, you are old enough to begin observing what goes on in the world around and draw conclusions about the consequences of your actions. You may still make wrong decisions, as we all do, but you should take responsibility for them. More on this tomorrow, I think.

In such instances where the parents do not teach their children proper behavior, it is the parents' fault, and the child most certainly cannot be blamed.
