No it isnt. The reason that you can get married early, and should, is that not only are you more likely to stay with that person if it is a morally good society, but also to relieve the sex drive without being an adulterer. There is no "sexual health". I say this as someone under 18. It is not wild at all, and it is sad that this happened to Ireland.

@@mariorpg4276 Yeah, it’s no surprise that you’re under 18. If you don’t trust a 16 year old with sex, then you definitely should not trust a 16 year old with a lifetime commitment such as marriage. It’s very clear that you are immature. Stay in school.

I had no idea that there were restrictions for buying condoms in Ireland but it certainly makes sense why my nephew was conceived by two 17 year olds. I'm from Australia but would visit family in a village 20 minutes outside Limerick every Christmas from 1994 - 2003. So apart from my step-brother having a son in 1988, the village had a huge amount of teenagers pushing buggies around the place but I thought it was due to abortion laws at the time. I knew divorce was a new thing and historically weird just like this remarkable snippet into 1990's attitudes in Limerick...it certainly explains why intelligent girls around my age had to drop out of school never getting the opportunity to go to uni and travel like I did or consider a career. A fantastic reminder why The Church cannot have a political pulpit!

@Jonathan Joestar, hey snap out of the 1990's, your own individual sense of morality cannot train teenagers into abstinence without a marriage certificate. At home and in schools you teach them prevention and protection and why. Sex education started in year 10 human biology where it's taught as science because it is. Science always trumps doctrine and laws are not created because my God said so...if it did we'd no longer live in a democracy and human rights would not exist.

She actually made a good point. 16 year olds nowadays might on average be more mature (especially when it comes to that sort of thing) than 16 year olds in her time. A lot of these old people saying that "16 year olds are too young and uneducated" might be working from the way their generation was at 16 rather than the current one, which would explain at least some of the disagreement.

She did not say that they are more mature than her. She said that they are more mature than how mature she was when she was 16. Huge difference and you are misstating what she said.

there’s an abundance of helmets and they’re easily acquirable, and we’re always taught to wear helmets… yet overwhelmingly boys still do not wear them when deciding to ride their bikes. Why? Because simply throwing a helmet at your son will not fill the void of your failed parenting and failed, degenerate, impulsive, sick society. but of course, you don’t actually care about this issue, as hospitals can fix a cracked head… or crack your unborn grandchildren’s heads in an abortion.

@@meganaxeliar And yet, even less people would wear helmets if they weren't available for purchase..

@@meganaxeliar I'm not sure where you're going with this. On one hand you say its bad that not enough people are wearing them, on the other you want to restrict their access to it? Makes zero sense. Having said that, STDs and teenage pregnancies are much lower these days than back in the day (including time of that video)

@@Ravi-fx6vf No, you’re misunderstanding my stance: I’m saying you’re all morally bankrupt and it’s scary how oblivious you are to it. You’re completely rotting our societies. Contraception couldn’t be anymore accessible and ‘sex education’ is hounded at children from a young age, up until our teenage years by schools, the media and on top of parental guidance for most of us. Yet, STDs and unwanted pregnancies are HIGHER than they have ever been in history - (just appeased/guised by the ability to treat the diseases and abortion of unborn children). So what’s your’s and everyone else’s response to this issue? It is straw-manning and doubling-down. Apparently we should throw MORE condoms in peoples faces, do MORE abortions, do MORE ‘sex education’ classes. What’s next after it obviously doesn’t work? Teach young people sodomy in school to stop unwanted pregnancy? Like I said, you’re all morally bankrupt. The rise of liberalism/progressivism sparked the trivialisation and de-root of sex from love, sanctity, marriage and parental-bonding. Hyper-sexualisation, objectification and fetishisation has spread across our cultures. The issue was exacerbated and allowed by the introduction of contraception/abortion. Thus, you’ve bred impulsive, degenerate generations of people which do impulsive, degenerate things… like have unprotected, frivolous, meaningless, hedonistic sex. The solution to this matter is not ‘black and white’ or simple. We have to spark a revolt cultural-shift in our societies. A great start would be the complete ban or demonetisation of pornographic content, strip clubs, etc. We need to re-introducing healthy relationships, perceptions of each other and behaviour. That’s just the first step… this will be a battle of attrition and mostly to save the future generations from turning into us. Eventually contraception and abortion would be available but irrelevant/rare in use (as it was always meant to be).

It's fascinating seeing how different just one generational gap is, isn't it?

@Jack_Tisson So you’ve never actually lived in Ireland yourself, have you?

@Jack_Tisson people of old times needed to have many children because of how easily they died from disease or accident. Example would be how Julius Ceasar's sons all died in young age. Now in the modern era, where the health care have become more available and better.. You can make sure your child don't die that easily. Thus to have many children is not needed.

@@paigeherrin29 I have to agree with you. I'm 73. I can remember a girl who worked part time in our class laughed about the time an adult came into her drug store and asked her where he would find the Sheiks (a brand of condom). She yelled across the drug store to the druggist, "Hey, Joe, Where are the Sheiks?" She didn't know what they were or she wouldn't have yelled her question out in a crowded drug store. LOLOL! The poor customer. That was in about 1966. I think by 1992, teenagers in Ontario would all know what a Sheik was. They are sold in drug stores here and, probably, in bars out of vending machines, but I'm not sure about that. We were given a rudimentary sex education in grade 12 here in 1966. The phys ed teacher told us that she could get in trouble for her efforts because sex education wasn't part of the curriculum. She and her husband were friends with the principal and his wife so she probably felt pretty safe and must have had the principal's tacit approval. It was a pretty blasé curriculum. No mention of homosexuality at all. We were even given to read a preprint from the Reader's Digest called "The Case for Chastity". I remember our English teacher let us debate the issue of abortion and the phys ed teacher came and saw our presentation. I don't remember who thought up the topic: was it a student or was it the English teacher? It certainly wasn't the phys ed teacher. I don't think it was the English teacher. He was fired by the end of year 2 though. I never knew why. He did some things that wouldn't be allowed today like having an affair with a student, but he later married her and had children with her. He was just a little too out there for staid, old Kingston, Ontario, I guess. A University of Toronto graduate. . . It's hard to believe this is 1992. I taught school in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1970s. It has a huge Irish influence, but I got birth control pills there from doctors and I wasn't married at the time. I imagine condoms were sold in the drug stores. I do recall the principal of the Fogo Island High School for some reason had a discussion that centred around how sex education should be presented and he wanted to invite the clergy (Protestant and Roman Catholic) to present the topic. I don't think he was serious about talking about sex though. He just wanted to lead the teachers in a lively discussion or something. The curriculum would have to have come down from the Dept of Education. As far as I know, there was no official sex education curriculum. These Irish students all seem to know what a condom is though by 1992. I'm not sure the Fogo Island high school students would have known what one looked like.

@@JazzyFunkaHolicThis may be a late reply! The Celtic Tiger refers to the massive foreign investment and economic boom in the 1990s to 2000’s that suddenly slowed before stopping in 2008 due to the crash. The Irish Economy lost most of its debt, and most peoples salaries tripled over a decade before the crash hit and ruined the economy. As of 2022, the economy has recovered from 2008, but yet again ruined by covid. Overall the reason regarding the church why this is important is because Irish people became more well off and started getting foreign viewpoints much more than they had in a long time, meaning that the church’s influence wasn’t as big. People did not need the hands out of the church anymore or needed to cling to it. So, naturally people started to waiver, and when some big scandals hit it was the nail to the coffin.

It's just the religious boundaries that are putting off the old people and you can tell, these are women who would have been raised in the age where if you had a baby out of wedlock, it was taken away and you were put through a womens home to teach you about god and not having babies outside of wedlock. No choice, your baby gone and you becoming a nun. I think having people break the idea that you can just fuck with no consequences is probably terrifying to these older people as they'll just think the countries going downhill, it goes against everything they were raised.

@@redroseofsummer2979 True.....but they haven't gone away, you know....

On the surface it all seems nice and liberal and free. But, if you make condoms available to 16 year olds as a societal norm, then they will assume that having sex is not only allowed but recognised as normal. This of course leads to two things: unwanted pregnancies or worse, the deliberate killing of the unborn human. Sadly, free choice, liberalised attitudes towards sex (i.e. that there are no moral ends to sex but rather just pleasure, pleasing others, intimacy, stress relief, escape, or self-validation etc) is leading the human race down a dark road, and therefore marriage also becomes a casualty of this dark road and loses its principle end: the creation of new life. Ethics, and moral behaviour also prevents disease too!

@@DB-qw6xq we have known for ages that this isn’t true, and no better example exists than the US. You don’t have to be any particular age to buy condoms in any US state. Any teenager can buy them. However, there’s a vast difference in how sex education is taught, as it varies by state. Sex education is not mandatory in states like Alabama and Arkansas. States like Massachusetts and New Jersey have excellent sex education programs. The rates of teen sex are exactly the same in all these states, as kids are kids, and kids are going to have sex regardless of upbringing, education, or culture. However, teen pregnancy rates and Highschool dropout rates are several times higher in the states where teens aren’t even taught about condoms, where to get them, and how to use them. They have sex anyway, and they do it unprotected. It’s the girls who have to carry the brunt of the shame, the damage to her life, career, and education. She’s the one who has to carry the consequences of her “sin” in her body for everyone to see. She deals with the stigma, while the boy who got her pregnant sometimes won’t bear any responsibility at all. This is a human rights issue. No child’s education should be sacrificed because she chose to have sex.

@@DB-qw6xq teenagers will have sex regardless, all you're doing is encouraging things like back alley abortions. Proper sex education goes a lot further for responsible behaviour than pretending the issue doesn't exist
