Comment by Prinzinc on Rick D Roll

I already agreed with you that the role of parents isn't to "bluntly prohibit" but include the 3 parental jobs of:

1) Education + 2) Restriction + 3) Positive/Negative reinforcement = For the sake of protection (i.e. good long term outcomes)

Education is obviously included but you seem to think that I'd somehow not educate my children when I'm restricting them from something (like something you might see in a movie).  However, education is only a single piece of parenting and it's the only 1/3rd of the parenting model approved by Hollywood whereas the other 2/3rds have had many TV shows and movies made about how bad parenting restrictions and negative reinforcement is on your children's outcomes.  It's simply not true except in the most extreme edge cases where a father or mother are beating their children and locking them in the basement or something.

"if we remove s3x from the world, like that doesn't exist anymore, would you still be against kid dating?"
The whole discussion is about outcomes in the real world so answering this "what if" doesn't hold any value.  What if the sun turned pink and music came out of your bu**?  So what?  What does that have to do with what we are talking about?
