It should be illegal to be this stupid.

One in three couples in Philippines don't know birds from the bees: official

MANILA (AFP) - As many as 30 percent of couples in the Philippines are unaware that having sex can result in babies, Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit said.

"They do not know how pregnancy happens," even though some of them have had numerous children already, Dayrit remarked.

The discovery was the result of field studies by health workers who went door-to-door to determine population control program awareness, Dayrit said in remarks released here.

He did not say how many couples in the mainly Roman Catholic nation were surveyed.

The field workers found that in many of these cases, the couples believed the children were simply gifts from God.

"Often times people do things even if they dont understand why they do it," Dayrit said, attributing the ignorance over sex to the conservatism of Philippine society.

"A lot of it is cultural because people dont talk about sex," he said, remarking that "knowledge is often tempered by values. And if the values are such that they will reject knowledge theres nothing you can do," he added.

The government is promoting a door-to-door campaign for population control in this country of 84 million people but the Catholic church, which counts about 80 percent of the population as followers, has been actively opposing the campaign.

Some cultures don't think about that stuff as much as we do. Some of em' don't have 24 hour online newspapers to tell em that shit.

I dunno, it seems kinda dumb to not know how to get pregnant, but that's like makin fun of em' for not knowing what television is.

If the education isn't made available to them, you don't really have a right to be calling them "stupid".
I'm sure that if you hadn't the education that was provided to you as a right, by your country...you'd probably feel a little unfairly judged in their situation when some asshole called you stupid too.

I personally question the validity of this report...but if they're uneducated in these matters, that's something that should be fixed by their govt, so as to not have overpopulation issues.

Like they say, don't judge until you've walked their mile..

Easily...by not having been educated.
I would assume that if this IS the case, it could be seen as something that "just happens" from the time a female hits full puberty??
I mean, if theyre rampantly fucking all the time, they're not going to have tmied the 9 months each and every time, are they?
