Yeah - let's talk about sex! :-)

No, I just realize that when changing apples with oranges, I would
express myself differently :-)
I believe that our kids already know that having sex is related to
getting pregnant and getting AIDS. They just do it anyway.
You seem to think that more adult talk make them behave wiser.
I disagree that hanging AIDS posters in bedrooms improves things.
I am a big fan of the expression "Don't do anything I wouldn't have
done" - because it becomes a joke when you reflect on it (and if you
know a bit of my actual past). I want *Reflection* from my kids, not
"paying attention" or "doing as told".
I welcome fucking(!) up Debian systems. Either you knew that it was
dangerous and decided to take your chances, or you didn't and learn the
hard way that pushing the red button can make things go "Booom!".
Contrary to unsafe sex, this is not life and death. GoPlay! :-)
