U reckon? Most of the world has been predominately straight for 2000 years, although our ancestors were bisexual before then. First the Jews were given the revelation that God created men and women to be complimentary to one another, then after Christ's appearance, it spread to the rest of the world. Do you see woman holding hands together down the street (maybe soon...)

Yeah, your a little too friendly with the state...

After Christ... what spreads to the rest of the world?

This is a joke post right? You don't really think that there was ever a time when men and women didn't compliment each other. And you really do know that the reason woman doesn't hold hands together down the street is that she's holding 4 bags of groceries in one hand and a squirming toddler with the other. And as for the notion of some sea change in human sexuality 2000 years ago... You're kidding.

No i agree. My point is there was lots more homosexuality /lesbianism in ancient times. After the time of Christ much of it went away. The gentiles (non-Jews) esteemed purity for the first time. It was a new thing for them.

I heard a former Iranian president saying that there's no homosexuals in The Islamic Republic of Iran, too.

So I'm guessing it's always been around, just some religion beat the crap out of it.

Not sure why anyone would envy homosexuals. For one, it reduces the competition for a potential mate. Two, they make very neat and clean neighbours.
 
Do you have children, VC?

The girls have a mother and a father, NOT THE STATE.

Parents are the primary carer of their children.

I did mention, though we all went private, that information nights were WITH THE PARENTS.

Yeah, So what?

Does that mean that teenagers don't benefit from sex education?

I think its smart to teach people who are becoming sexually mature and are at the age where sexual experimentation is starting to happen, the facts about Sexually transmitted diseases, Sexual reproduction and how condoms etc can be used to prevent both.

Did you send your kids to school or were they home schooled?

If you trust the schools to educate on all the other topics, why not Sex education? I mean its just biology

Your children's right to information about their body trumps your right to be prude.

The fact that our kids are ranked 39 of 41 OECD nations for literacy and numeracy.

Imagine if they took the parentally bullied homeworked asian students out of that equation...we'd be ranking outside the OECD parentheses.

The real reason the lessons aren't getting through is the extreme use of behavoural clamps on the teachers by policy and process...they are just drones who get pinged constantly for not following strangling pedagogy that is skewed to covering their principal's arse with rules on social justice, gender fluidity, KPI's, and crepe paper children.

The rising fascist nature of school teaching correlates with the reduction in males at the blackboard. Women are creatures of rules and eventually they strangle organisations because of excess access to policy.

Not necessarily, there could be other societal factors outside the classroom causing issues.

Also, standards might be really high.

I mean if you came 39th out of 41 in a tennis tournament that was made up of the 41 worlds best tennis players, could you really say your coach is a muppet, All 41 might be star players with star coaches, but some one has to come 39th.
 
There may very well be a correlation in poor school performance with the type of people we are becoming.

That's a pretty poor excuse.

We all know that highly paid jobs flow to the countries with the skills to do those jobs, so there are 38 countries on the list ahead of us for hi tech industries and we are going to end up on the scrap heap.

Its not an excuse, just showing that teaches are not necessarily "muppets",

And what was the difference between the top 10 and the bottom 10 on the list, was there even a big gap?

I think a fair test would be to compare Australia with Australia over time, rather than against other nations, because thats what matters.
