Just feeling a bit cheated, although I know Live TV is not without problems.

It has made me a tad broody though, so must have enjoyed parts [shocked]

Just wondered your thoughts?

omfg!!!!!!!!!! you bitch!!! we r talking 2 men to 5 kids and we both realised we needed to be with a woman to be happy!

Iwasthefourthwiseman · 26/12/2010 23:16

Now, if your mum has children then become gay later in life is that allowed? If not I'd better tell my mum we are going back where we came from. Oh else have myself put into care.

FuturePM · 26/12/2010 23:16

I just don't think it's natural. Sorry OP for hijacking!

coldtits · 26/12/2010 23:16

BBBBBWWWaaaaaaaaahahahahaaaaaa!

"I know nothing about it and I refuse point blank to educate myself about it using research done by a scientific resource, but it's definitely wrong"

And printing something in the Times discredits it????

Will nothing short of a handwritten note from God pass through the sheild of willful ignorance?

This is hilarious!

dustycups · 26/12/2010 23:17

oh and the father to my (all) children was phyiscally abusive towards me, and i was very unhappy but hey that is so a better enviroment to raise my kids in that with a woman who loves me! Hmm

FuturePM · 26/12/2010 23:17

How does it make me a bitch to think that it's natural for man and woman to pro-create?

I wasn't referring to your fine self when I said 5 children, it was an example.

I'm entitled to my opinion, am I not?

coldtits · 26/12/2010 23:19

Nature DEFINITELY intended children to be mostly raised by women, otherwise why do the women have the ovaries, the breasts, and the superior willpower to actually stick around and raise their children?

What, across the board, multinationally, is the percentage of deadbeat dads to deadbeat mums?

coldtits · 26/12/2010 23:20

You are entitled to your opinion. And, using your own method of debate, you're WRONG because, although I nothing about you, I said so.

FuturePM · 26/12/2010 23:20

I actually originally asked about gay parents. No singularly female gay parents.

So are you implying as men (gay or otherwise) have no breasts or ovaries, that they shouldn't be parents?

coldtits · 26/12/2010 23:22

No, I'm not. There is more to parenting than equipment, but according to your position, which is that it's unnatural for two people of the same sex to raise children together because they don't have opposing genitalia, then the equipment is all.

I don't think the equipment is all, but seemingly, you do.

almost3 · 26/12/2010 23:22

Actually, we're not really biologically designed to be monogamous so maybe we SHOULD all have 5 kids by 5 different men!

:-D coldtits! Although I'm not really up for dumping my clothes, it's bloody freezing here!

YuleTideD0G · 26/12/2010 23:22

and teenage parents? Not what nature intended also?

dustycups · 26/12/2010 23:22

even if it was a example, you deserved what i said! yeah you r entitled to your opinion buts it not right when it upsets people!

off to tell my kids they r screwed due to there mother being happy for once in her fucking life!

dustycups · 26/12/2010 23:27

ooo yeah, and im only 25, had my first when i was 18 just incase you want to judge me even more!

FuturePM · 26/12/2010 23:28

Dusty- So following your theory it means that you can't have an opinion, as that is bound to upset people...? Correct? Yuletide, I said I partially agree to what whoever's dh suggested.
I'm sure if I follow up statistics, teenage mums are more of a drain on society. Then again, with them missing school it might just pan out in terms of cost.

FuturePM · 26/12/2010 23:29

Your age is irrelevant to me.

MrMananger · 26/12/2010 23:29
dustycups · 26/12/2010 23:30

no you can have a opinion but sometimes its wise to think who you express such opinion too!

coldtits · 26/12/2010 23:35

WWorn out with the gay bashing, are we? Not inspiring enough ire for your likeing?

So.

We've done tennaged mother, gay parents ....ummmm

...ADHD next, I think, but we could perhaps squeeze vegetarians in first, if we're quick.

mrsmellow · 26/12/2010 23:38

children need to be raised by people who are in a position to love them, provide stability and ambition, warmth and hope - regardless of sex.
One Born Every Christmas is an embarrasment to C4 and really ought to be ignored!

FuturePM · 26/12/2010 23:40

ADHD- used to be called bad behaviour. Funny that. Sadly I don't have time for vegetarianism as I'm off to bed Grin it's been emotional.

dustycups · 26/12/2010 23:41

Grin at coldtits

well said mrsmellow

YuleTideD0G · 26/12/2010 23:42

Oh, oh me, I'm vegetarian and I was 19 when I had dd1. I like gay people, does that count.

Nothing wrong with having an opinion but it's when you have an opinion that is based in nothing but ignorance and bigotry that it's probably best not to express it.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool eh pm

YuleTideD0G · 26/12/2010 23:44

on not in Blush

FuturePM · 26/12/2010 23:45

I don't recall saying I "don't like gay people". And when I said I "partially agreed" with the teenage mum scenario, I was thinking more under 16s rather than those who are adults. I'll express whatever opinion I have, because, luckily for the gays and lesbians and vegetarians, we live in a free society :o Night
