Sensitivity training may be more effective if the children have insight into how a "fat kid" is feeling, or how someone feels when they've been discriminated against based on their race, or their religion., or their parents sexual orientation."

REPLY: There will always be bullies and those who make fun of others, for whatever reason. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. The time spent by schools in this crap reduces the time needed to teach kids what they NEED to know to survive and prosper. Insulating kids from admonishment or harassment does not prepare them for the real world.

This is the same thing that occurs when kids are taught Moral Relativity... we saw the result in Columbine.....

Used in isolation and subjectively, that's exactly what facts and figures are, especially when they are used in isolation to back up an argument that is entirely subjective.

example: the per captia percentage of money spent on "black" health in Australia and the percentage of the Australian population that is indigenous.

When used as a stand alone figure it's easy to argue that that much money should never be spent onsuch a small minority. But numbers alone ignore the truth of the situation. And people who rely solely on them to make their case are only demonstrating how shallow they are.

REPLY: Facts and figures relate directly to statistics.... what do you propose we make informed judgements upon... feelings? Using current proveable date and statisdtics is being shallow???

".... What don't you understand? It is not a choice. The reason I asked the first question was an attempt to see how big your disconnect to this is. You know maybe 7 gay guys and yet you still claim it's a choice."

REPLY: So, show me where it's been proven it IS choice.. after I've shown and linked to data proving otherwise.

".... So without gays there would be no HIV/AIDS or its attendant costs to worry about...if that's what you're really saying then..."

REPLY: I did not say or imply that.

".... Your continued use of that word is becoming increasingly tiresome and tiring. I wonder, will you be offended if I begin greeting you with the words "Hey there, redneck hick."

REPLY: So... I prefer to use the correct term.. the one used BEFORE changes made to the dictionary by maybe 3% of the population.
No, I wouldn't be offended.. you can use what terms you wish, preferrably based on insight and knowledge gained from a meaningful interaction to better know my values, thoughts and personality.

".... You show your heterosexuality off all the time, what's the difference?"

REPLY: heterosexuals don't "show off" what comes naturally... heterosexuals don't choose to be heterosexual.... that's the difference.
The main point being that 3% of the population is trying to force their preferences down the throats (no pun intended) of the majority of the population, and to make changes to the morality of our culture, through the use of our taxpayer dollars, and the media backs them up with T.V. shows and movies like Humpback Mountain..... I guess they used that title because "Blazing Saddles" was already used.....

As previously mentioned, homosexuality is already being referenced in pre-school, which is just plain wrong.
