So we can do it?

I used to dream that one day I would visit Singapore and explore a beautiful country which seems to be evolving into a hip diverse place where people are outgoing,friendly to foreigners and without the garbage,bums,and bubble gum in the street, and I will someday.... without my teenage daughters.

The Singapore government recently put into action a plan to curb its declining birth rate and apparently thought it wise to put that plan directly on the shoulders of the fourteen to eighteen year olds. How? A high school course on flirting. Flirting 101. Students will learn song analysis, online chatting, speed dating and with this information are encouraged to act upon it. After all a whole nation is depending on these kids to hurry up and make babies.

Wow a country that finally appreciates the concept of preteen pregnancy! Theres a whole slew of Texas teenagers with babies that probably need jobs, lets send them over to teach these hormone lacking teenagers a lesson in how to get the job done!

And thats about all the discussion on teens, flirting and sex that I can handle. Its a good thing my girls are locked securely in their rooms.

Just one guy's opionion here, but I've been to Singapore many times, and based on some informal benchmarking across Asia, I'd say the Flirting 101 for Singaporean girls would need to start with how to get the guys as drunk as possible.

I have not heard about this. All I will say is why don't they start with some addoption. There are plenty of kids that need homes so why not take them in. What do the parents have to say about all of this? Are they ok with there young girls going to school and learning about how to have sex inorder to lets say get the job done? I now I would have a few things to say.

Hey, is Flirting 101 followed up by these classes: "STDs-The Advanced Stages", then "Divorce Dos and Don'ts", and finally "Fighting the Urge to Join the Cast of The View"?
