Queenslanders show their prudish side again.

Two Queensland papers showed themselves to be pointlessly prudish today.

The Sunshine Coast Daily got up in arms about The Noosa Swingers Club's website and the Courier Mail got its knickers in a knot about a website designed for pre-teens by the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, La Trobe University.

The Sunshine Coast Daily reporter went looking for something to be offended by and found it. The Noosa Swingers Club website had explicit pictures on it. Well duh! Your kidding! I thought that Swingers were a knitting circle! For f^(#s sake, if you don't want to see swinging, don't look at swingers club sites. And as for children finding it: 1) I don't care because I don't believe that it will substantially harm them and 2) why aren't their parents looking after them? I didn't ask for the job and I don't want it.

The Hormone Factory site for sex education for pre-teens is very tame. It talks about issues and gives them very sanitised information to let them have sufficient understanding of sex to know it is an issue that they will have to address soon but it's nothing to worry about at the moment. Do the bogan commenters really believe that they know more about this topic than a university sex research centre? Has the average person that much disdain for education and intellectuals? Wait... yes they have. Not all opinions are equal. Researched, considered opinions are worth more than bogan opinions, superstitions and death cults. I don't care if you are a parent, research pulls rank on being able to get sprogged up for the baby bonus.

I sent a email of support to the La Trobe University team in charge to let them know that not all people are ignorant fools.
