Most of these people allowing this are southern Oklahoma Democrats (Baptists).

 

Normally, I wouldn't honor such a stupid post with a reply, but I must ask, did you read the entire thread? Or just home in on this one remark of mine? Either way, you are mistaken and uninformed. Rosie is not one of my favorites, but she is getting good reviews lately for speaking her mind. At least she HAS one!

I'll bet $100 that you didn't even understand my reference to the taliban and it's misogynistic practices.

You probably don't know WHERE Afghanistan IS, or its relation to the War in the Middle East. You're probably just another pathetic example of the decline of education in the Public Schools.

You want to debate ANY of my principles as outlined in this thread? Then PICK one, and lets go at it.

Otherwise, take your single "cheap shot" and go away. Children (like you) should be seen and not heard. (And in some cases.... being SEEN is not such a good idea!) :lol:

I'm not sure WHY you resurrected this 6 month old thread, but I don't mind continuing one of the FEW intelligent conversations on this board.

I have a sister who is married to a minister (as my father is) and she has "home schooled" both of her chldren. I find both of them a bit strange, and "subsocial." You alluded to this problem. It is a fact.

But, it is the statement that I quoted above that bothers me. In a perfect world, maybe. But, not today! Todays children get their inspiration from the glorification of lifestyles on T.V., their direction from peer pressure, and their guidance from the internet! If YOU can replace all this with personal parental attendance, you are special.

I don't say you shouldn't TRY! But, you must be realistic. In today's world, if you "shelter" them from all of this, you will be creating a maladjusted being.

IMHO, the jury is still "out" on whether my sister was right or wrong. But, I KNOW my niece and nephew, and NEITHER of them are prepared for life as they will FIND it.

I STAND BY my belief that children should attend, and DEAL with, public schools. Religious "understanding" and moral superiority should be taught in the home or in the church.

A bloody nose is a "rite of passage" for a young boy, and a young woman needs to understand the power and limits of her sexuality. Do you understand this?

It was God's PLAN that his son Jesus be subjected to a "normal" upbringing. The fact that he shone above the average child of his age was a testament to his birthright, and a harbinger of things to come. It was also a "reflection" of his homelife.

But, had he been sent to a "Madrassa" as children in the Middle East are today, would he have been noticed as being "special?" I'm not so sure he would have!

In principle, I cannot deny the "safety" of a Christian School, or the "purpose" of home schooling. And I am NOT against a religious upbringing. But, reality forces me to question the Wisdom of such an isolationist belief and action.

Of course, "I" am not the one to decide for YOUR children. That is up to YOU. I can only testify to the fact that a public education gave me knowledge and awareness that I might not have otherwise gained. And a strenth of character that cannot be "taught."

If my words, thoughts or testimony have in any way assisted you, I am redeemed. If not, then I am STILL redeemed, as I believe I have spoken the truth, as I know it.

I wish (because I seldom PRAY) for you the Wisdom of Solomon. Parenting is an awesome responsibility, one that was stolen from me.

Pot. Meet kettle. You tell "pathetic morons" to keep their beliefs to themselves while at the same time, violating your own demand. This can mean one of many things. You are a hypocrite; not very consistent in your "logic"; an idiot; or what the Bible would call you: a fool. Perhaps you're all of the above. Only you really know.

Now, carry on bashing religious people while I sit here and laugh at your idiocy. :roll:

golfhobo, with the "logic" you display above, I don't think anyone will "debate" you. It would be an exercise in futility.

 

I'm pretty much for keeping it out of public schools. If only much of the other crap would be kept out too. You know...evolutionary theory as being fact, Virginia and her two mommies (one dressing like Santa Claus), and a woman's right to kill a child. Yeah...keep that crap out too. Then we'll all get along.

 

Yeah, all that gay and lesbian bulls**t needs to be removed before anything else.

 

Evolution is taught as a theory.. The fact that there are books on homosexuals who raise children should be less shocking that the lack of books about the heterosexual broodmares and their numerous man studs, they probably need more books like," My mommy's various baby daddies", or even "Whosuredaddy" and the "The Preacher who liked to touch children in the pew"... Abortion is yet another touchy subject for the Christocrat. They are out getting the majority of the abortions, but its some sin if someone else gets one?

 

Which gay and lesbian bulls**t? Most of the clowns who are complaining about the "gay books" in libraries couldn't read well enough to find them in the libraries in the first place.

 

If abstinence and virginity were still held as virtues, abortion wouldn't be such an issue I'd bet. They don't teach abstinence in sex ed, though, do they? Huh....
