Oh, please, nobody buys that you are burying people in the back yard, funny as that may be! Serial killers don't have pet dogs named Freddy that they miss when the pet passes, and they can't feel empathy. Yeah, your friends check in but they don't check out, LOL! Well, there was that guy, Buffalo Bill in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, who had his little dog, Precious... And I did point out that it was my neighbour using a chainsaw, not me. And curiously enough, the following day, he was using a wood chipper. Bloody hell those things make some noise. Enough to wake the dead... I only watched "Silence of the Lambs" once; even as an adult, the whole thing gave me a bad case of the willies. That was before my 'Criminal Minds' phase. Just a hint; if that neighbor grows vegetables and wants to share, you might think twice about it.

You're on, mate! Edit: I see you've changed your avatar from the rough, outback guy with the knife to the handsome actor... hmmm... Now who's trying to be sweet and apple-cheeked?

And have done the same on most other forums were I'm a member. He was one of my three fictional heroes growing up. Kerr Avon, as played by Paul Darrow in the science fiction BBC TV series BLAKE'S 7, which ran for four seasons from 1978 to 1981. At the very end, after killing his friend and former leader, he was the last one standing. After years of living on the edge and killing countless people, he was finally a psychopath. My hero!

Well, he certainly isn't sweet and apple-cheeked... must compute... The scene doesn't do him justice. It doesn't show the pile of dead bodies he's responsible for. Think of it as a mirror image to STAR TREK. A group of convicts on the way to a penal colony managed to escape in a large, super-advanced alien spaceship. They then take on and do battle with the evil Terran Federation. This is their vessel compared to James T Kirk's Enterprise and their prison ship...

That's been photo-shopped!

Yes, my mom talked to me about it before they even covered it in school. My mom was friends with my friend's mom and she told her that my friend had just gotten her first period (we were both 9 at the time). So not sure if she was ready to give me the talk just yet or if she felt pressured to because she knew I was going to hear something about it from my friend and she wanted to be the one to tell me before anyone else. I don't remember me feeling awkward about it at the time. Maybe because I felt more horrified at the thought of getting monthly periods.

Rather gruesome. I wonder if my neighbour has seen that? Have you ever seen the film FARGO? PS - Kirk's Enterprise was built in the 23rd century. The Liberator was built in the 28th century. Even in STAR TREK, the ships generally tend to get bigger as time goes by.

Even in STAR TREK, the ships generally tend to get bigger as time goes by. Oh, 'ja', I've seen Fargo (I love their accent) that's a creepy scene. The woman in the CM episode is growing an organic garden using healthy men as fertilizer for her tomato garden; she is a hypochondriac and wanting to keep herself and her daughter from getting some imagined skin disease. The BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) runs into some real wackos and nut jobs, sadly most are based on real serial killers. Oh, all right, if you insist, Kirk's Enterprise is smaller. (But size doesn't matter, remember?) I loved the original Star Trek, it's little morality lessons were disguised as entertainment, but they promoted diversity, they didn't colonize and this was all new to me. I did watch the next generation, but stopped after that, except for a few of the movies. The last one I saw was the Voyage Home; saving the planet by bringing whales back from the past.

Nope. Learned the "official" clinical version in Elementary school at the time I believe it was during 5th grade. I remember the sex ed class required having parents approval before it began. Most kids in school looked forward to having the "Sex Ed" class. I don't recall what the alternative activity was for kids whose parents didn't give permission. There were very few cases of that. There might have been one kid who didn't get permission if any at all. I don't recall how long the instruction was, I think it might have been a week long series of 1 or 2 hour sessions. Don't remember those specifics. For the "class" they segregated the boys and girls. I guess they thought we boys either didn't need to know or couldn't handle the more detailed female processes or specific instructions. For the girls I'm just guessing they probably went into detail of what to expect from the menstrual cycle and instructions on the various feminine products.
The rest I probably got from porn. OH and the playground prepubescent talk of overexcited boys before they take the clinical "sex ed" class. Usually the year before from the kids who just had it.

No.
Weird thing was that my school didn't have a sex ed class. I remember the girls had some kind of presentation, but that was probably around puberty, etc. But the boys just had to learn on their own. It was public school and I graduated in '95 so it wasn't like it was the '50s or something.
I learned by sneaking a couple of issues of my Dad's 1970's era Penthouse magazine collection. It was eye opening to say the least. I was probably about 6 or 7. haha

No, and they would not sign a waiver letting me take a sex education class offered to all students at school. I think that was around 7th or 8th grade.

Nope, I've learned it through books, and perhaps tv.

I think I learnt about it in school mostly. I remember a book showing how babies were born when I was in primary school, and in secondary school learning about it in more detail in human biology.
