I grew up with the "Where did I Come From", and later the "What's Happening to Me" books, which sound very similar to this German one — minus the condom (which sounds like an important addition). They had naked cartoon people with realistic (for cartoons!) genitals, they spoke frankly about the act itself, the…

I get that child molestation is horrible and scary, but sex education undertaken by a parent or parent-approved guardian is not "grooming" behaviour — it's responsible parenting.

I see what your saying about quantity of description, I was more responding to the qualitative distinction you drew in your initial comment. You contrasted

If you like female Canadian artists whose music reminds you of The Knife... Austra is also worth checking out :)

Ah, OK, so you are a troll. Well, sir, I admire your tenacity — if only it could be applied to something moderately useful, productive, or at the very least, creative and original :)

First, there isn't any Muslim equivalent of the Pope. There is no one leader who rules them all. The problem isn't that Muslim leaders (and individuals) don't come forward to condemn terrorism outright; the problem is that when they do, either you don't listen or your news source doesn't report it. Here is a link…
