Madeleine McCann info shown before Shrek, anyone else cross about this?

I was. I have chosen NOT to tell my nearly 4yo about this. I haven't discussed it in detail with 9yo ds either I CHOOSE not to put the news on in our house. I really resent this being shoved at my children before a U cert movie. Completely inappropriate imo.

AWEN
the spelling is not the issue! I am typing very fast so i can answer all the comments i want to.
Im deeply apologetic if my fast typing is enough to warrant your cutting remarks!

Fair enough, disagree. It makes no nevermind to me if you agree with my parenting choices.

This thread however was about the enforced removal of those choices in inappropriate circumstances.

welcome to mumsnet by the way, haychee

I second that, actually. Always pleased to meet someone who can stick around for a debate.

I am not aiming any insulting remarks directly unless i address the message to you. I am recieveing alot of abuse because im typing very fast and because i have an opinion that is different

It isnt your spelling it is the fact that you felt it was ok to insult people by name calling. Sorry but when you stoop to that level I am not particularly intereted in your point of view as your views lose validity when you become downright offensive. Secondly when you become personal and offensive I am not going to treat you with the courtesy I usually give other posters.

Exactly LadyVictoriaofCake.

Haychee - that "I don't mean anyone in particular. I just think some people are really stupid" defence is always a tricky one to pull off. The tendency is for posters to think you're referring to people who disagree with you. It also gives the impression that you want to insult someone but aren't quite prepared to do it directly.

But all I'm really trying to say is that throughout the debate, you gave the impression of being quite able to take care of yourself.

just check the remarks made by wells
I was livid, still am! I do not want to upset people, but it seems ok for me to be upset.
So unfair.

haychee, that is a bit - "Mr Kettle, Mr Pot is on the line with a message for you"

You made numerous disparaging remarks about people who disagreed with you and then you blew the sarcasm fuse with me over my education choices for my children.

Now, which of you little kiddies knows what happened to a little boy called Jamie Bulger...none of you! And you call yourselves four year olds! Tsk tsk. Well, once upon a time, a little boy went shopping with his mummy...and some big boys took him away and killed him DEAD!

Haychee - I think you're arguing from the position that all children will find out about this story and very soon. And so parents should get in first. Not everyone thinks that.

Haychee

Why should you be annoyed by Wells ??

You were suggesting we tell it like it is, as opposed to protecting our children.

As it so happens...............Wells told it like it is..................HORRIBLE is it not ??

I rest my case.

Very much off on a tangent here but am I the only one to think that it must be a very slow news day when 400 posts on mumsnte makes the national press?

A level English usually teaches one to distinguish between "your" and "you're" IME.

To quote my Dad who was a newspaper man, paper has never refused ink.

Haychee - this was made by you BEFORE wells comments

haychee on Tue 03-Jul-07 18:39:55 'My question to those foolish parents is,' 'I think that the worry here is that those parents who object do not have the intelligence to be able to discuss the topic with their children and do not know the correct language skills and way to go about reassuring their own children that they are infact safe in their beds.'

So we are follish and thick - ffs dont play the victim.
