I, too, have covered<BR/>the subject but not so comprehensively. Here in the United States under G.W.

They really have a different mentality level and understanding of things, more so on unpopular issues. <BR/><BR/>What I do see is the Dutch look at thinks in a simplified manner without any prejudice on race, religion, lifestyle, sex, and whatever other important factors than can be considered discrimination.<BR/><BR/>I think that could be the basis of their thinking alongside with the insistence of mutual respect. But I have to say that not all Dutch are tolerant... and tolerance here in NL has a limit, and is bordered by rules. *surprise*!<BR/><BR/><B>Elja:</B> Oh my golly, I was laughing with the broom stick! LOL! <BR/><BR/>I think that the UK would represent 90%-95% of the world's sentiment in this sex education study. I think well in my opinion, the Dutch and the Scandinavians are more mental in dealing with these sex issues. Even here in liberal Europe, sex discussion can still trigger some taboo effect, most especially when you go down south. I am pretty sure that other countries can relate to the English attitude with regard to saying "NO" aka "sex abstinence" as the best solution. These are usually propagated by christian and religious sects that has a big iron hand on the morals of the populace thus affecting government and school policies. The AIDs and sexual diseases also does not help... which again in my opinion is a cause of lack of education on the subject.<BR/><BR/>*********<BR/><BR/>Oh dear, I was just told by a friend that I shouldnt be discussing these things in my blog since its Holy Week? Olala, lol, I forgot. My apologies to the sensitive at heart and the ones observing this day and week!Jo Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17407858033954086280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919305.post-1111747472079838422005-03-25T11:44:00.000+01:002005-03-25T11:44:00.000+01:00Hehe, it's quite a coincidence that you post this ...Hehe, it's quite a coincidence that you post this now, since I just read an article in the paper about abortion, teen pregnancies and sexual education. I think it's quite common known that the UK has an attitude of keeping information from the people to prevent things from happening, and it's not working.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, to comment on the Dutch sexual education system, I read in the paper that especially doctors from the south and the east of the country (the Netherlands I mean) don't have a clue of how many months in pregnancy abortion is still an option. Teachers also tend not to know about hormone-plasters and hormone-sticks you can put under the skin... To tell you the truth, I didn't know about these things either. I still remember being told several times in biology class how to put a condom on though... teacher made a demonstration on a broom stick, LOL! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, sexual education is really important I think, especially since kids these days are into having sex, but not babies. Good article!elentárihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128458925372923941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919305.post-1111747112375663642005-03-25T11:38:00.000+01:002005-03-25T11:38:00.000+01:00Informative.
