Hm, the site doesn't say anything about the gays and whatnot, but yeah, she's a c**t.

Quote: chipolata @ July 3 2008, 12:14 PM BSTIt's good to see you have such a cavalier attitude to bullying.
Well, everyone gets bullied!
For having a silly name, for being fat, thin, ugly, beautiful.
Controlling adoption laws isn't going to change that!
What you're saying might be well meaning, but it's very dangerous.

It's not dangerous at all! It's common sense. And there are different grades of bullying. Everybody has experienced bullying to some degree or another, but some kids to endure a hell of a lot. And we now have more children committing suicide thanks to being bullied than ever before. I'd rather not drive any more to suicide just to satisfy your well meaning but ultimately misguided liberal zealousness.
I never got bullied. I don't think. Well I didn't notice it if I did. Which I suppose means I didn't. Or something.
I'm with zooo. Kids get bullied. Shit happens. One can't change a whole aspect of society just because some kids might be upset.
I suppose you also opposed interracial marriages and friendships, chip?

No, but I don't think the level of bullying towards children adopted by mixed marriages is anything like that directed towards children adopted by gay couples.
Well I didn't get bullied either, but friends of mine did, and for ridiculous reasons. It's just what kids do.
I think you're crazy chip, but we all have different opinions.
And I'm not labelling you a c**t, just because I'm calling Jen one for sharing one opinion with you. By the way.

From my experience, you'd better also outlaw being poor, wearing shit clothes, having severe acne, and wearing those glasses held together in the midde with tape.

I don't know what Jen's opinions are, although if her accent is anything to go by I doubt I agree with her on anything (I'd still do her, though!).
As for bullying, I do feel strongly about it, since a friend's kid hung themself after enduring some pretty horrific bullying at school. And the thing about kids who are bullied is that it's always the weak and vulnerable ones.
Well it's understandable that you take this seriously and personally. I just think you're targeting the wrong aspect of it.

I didn't say anything about kids adopted into those situations. It's a general point about people being the first to do something. You're being far too protectionist here, at the cost of progress. Are you a through-and-through socialist? It's very trade union-y to stop change in order to protect an outdated status quo.
Woah, this is some heavy shit. Thought this was BB thread. Oh, but don't forget the gingers! They get alot of crap.

Are you still living in the seventies? Next you'll be blathering on about the Winter of Discontent, beer and sandwiches at number 10 and how great Shawaddywaddy is. 
I'm going to start talking about Big Brother again.
Prepare yourselves.
Did you hear Rex yesterday, Aaron?
His new friendship with Mo doubles his number of male friends in the real world!
Aww.

I like Rex's hair.
Are you a ginger?
When it grows out a bit and gets scruffy, it'll be the smex.
