My God.. that sounds horrific. It’s a relief they found out before more children could get their hands on them.

Again, let me urge posters to refrain from flaming. Please stick to the issues and their merits and refrain from personal assumptions or attacks.

Seems to be the typical homosexual mindset, “I do no wrong but everyone is always wronging me.”

Looks like you have chosen the right character with whom to relate, Charlie Brown, “why is everybody always picking on me?” Da, da, da,ta, da.

Some people find anything that doesn’t agree with their name calling, abusive. Dosen’t it amaze you to find that these same ones can abuse my ethics and my guidance all they desire and see no problem with that??

Here this person has put me on the same level as a goat herder and thought himself wise enough to offer me counsel that I neither requested or gave permission for him to give.

I shall follow the commands to not set in counsel of the ungodly, thank you.

kaiwai – I think the way things are there in NZ are the way things used to be here. We in the US continue to fall behind the rest of the world in academics and yet groups want to take more of the academic day for political things that are best addressed, as you said, outside the schools.

Yeap, like I said to an American (who is also gay), the school is being turned into a political ground for the left and right to fight over.

The sole purpose of the education system is to educate youth as to either allow them to get a job once they’ve left college (aged 18) or move onto either Polytechnic to do a trade or University to obtain a degree or doctorate.

Politics shouldn’t play ANY role with in schools; sorry, if these kids want to form opinions, they can keep them to themselves and wait till an appropriate outlet is provided – in history when asked for their opinion, backed up with evidence, on a particular event in history.

As for Saltnlight, I find he abusive tone quite unacceptable; maybe she should pay New Zealand a visit and actually see for herself how New Zealand stacks up to the US in relation to “morality” and values” – or is she part of the 91% who don’t have passports?
