    Its probably easier to explain to a kid the concepts of death and homicide than the concepts of sexual intercourse and injecting bodily fluids into another human being.

      It’s really not. And generally correct information helps them choose safe sex.

      Even without understanding sexual attraction, the concept of pregnancy is pretty simple once you get over the guilt and shame of anatomy.

      Explaining why people kill each other is why more complicated.

        Only if trying to actually educate your kids. Otherwise, there’s the tried and true lazy/bad parenting method of only telling little Billy that “bad people need to be punished” and being surprised when he hits a classmate for taking his crayon.

      It’s really not. Birth and conception is a much easier conversation and concept for kids to grasp than the finality that is death.

      Well one is a basic biological process, the other is something we made up to entertain ourselves and accumulate power.
