dh sitting at his desk in lovely airconditioned office. will probly leave it in another hour or so to sit in his airconditioned car to get home about nineish.

[HappyHuggy]

I dont know anything about you or dh or anything but if you want to chat im around for a bit

HTH

[aloha]

to be honest justalurker was far more rude.
Stitch, people asked question on your thread that you totally ignored,

[HappyHuggy]

Give her a break eh?

She's said shes hard a hard day and we all post things in anger/frustation.

[SenoraPostrophe]

stitch that's just not true. Just because most people on here disagree with most of the opinions you've just expressed doesn't mean you can't post them.

You can post what you like, including any nonsense spoutings about political correctness, but I and others will argue with them.

I'd argue with all points now, but i can't be bothered, except to ask - how the hell is letting your child run around naked if they want to and its warm politically correct?

[SenoraPostrophe]

hh - I don't care. I've had a hard day too, and people dismissing my hard-thought-out philosophy as "politically correct" really pisses me off.

[aloha]

I am sorry you feel sad about this, but your post was bound to make people cross. Lots of people answered you very politely as well but you seemed to ignore those responses and I wondered why.

[HappyHuggy]

Why not just open a bar thread and make friends?



I'll even buy the first round......

[WideWebWitch]

I can't be arsed to argue about it either but I'm with aloha and Senora. I don't think anyone was rude to you stitch were they? Are we talking about the unmarried thread? It never was going to thrill the majority tbh, that point of view!

[EnidHobblingLikeAnOldWoman]

stitch, you arent in the majority. you just have to grin and bear it.

I constantly have opinions that differ from the hive mind! as long as you arent upsetting anyone then you just have to stand your ground.

[Jimjams]

why are you hobbling enid?

[QueenOfQuotes]

"no pruni, you are not allowed to say what you want. "


Well I do - people may not sometimes 'like' what I say - but it doesn't stop me






But I HAVE to ask..........which thread is this in relation to please

[EnidHobblingLikeAnOldWoman]

[EnidHobblingLikeAnOldWoman]

have just read your thread stitch

you can't be that naive surely you must have realised your OP would cause such controversy - you are basically asking people to justify their life choices.

don't like the swearing though

[QueenOfQuotes]

where?????

[tamum]

I hadn't seen the other thread until now but I thought your first post was crass and smug, and I'm not surprised that people criticised it. I am old and married, FWIW.

[WigWamBam]

Of course you're allowed to say what you want, but you have to be prepared for others to say what they want, too. You don't have to keep your mouth shut, but this is a discussion forum, and people have the right to disagree with any post - why should anyone else have to keep their mouths shut if they don't agree with you? Fair enough, there's no need to be rude, but when people see their chosen lifestyle being slated, or their moral values being questioned, they have the right to reply.

[fairyfly]

I just wanted to draw attention to this article in todays times.
No. 2 is of interest to me mostly.
A child does not neccesarily need two parents, especially if one is a mysoginistic tosser. Not an attribute i wish my children to witness.
As i have said before everything is not black and white. Peoples ideals differ, hence the fact we are all individuals.

bottle feeding is second best.

my opinion: bottle feeding is not second best - many reasons why either bf or bottle feeding is excellent for an individual parent and child

living together as being in the least way undesirable.

My opinion: individual choice

marriage shows more commitment.


My opinion: individual choice


children need more than one parent

My opinion: not necessarily has been shown that children brought up by a single parent can thrive and be happy and "successful"

any opiinion resulting from religious faith. bigoted or not.

my opinion : I respect faith, religious or otherwise

the opinion that children should have some sort of clothes on all the time. or that they should be made qware of private parts.

my opinion: difficult to have a child always wearing clothes and not really necessary


in fact any opinion that is not politically correct.

my opinion: what is pc?

feel free to add any topics you feel i many have missed

oh, and hurling abuse at people is ok as long as you do not use swear words, and it is directed as someone who has a viewpoint different from yours.


my opinion: being abusive is generally unnecessary, using swear words is acceptable at times

[paolosgirl]

Bottle feeding is 2nd best - yep, from a nutritional point of view it is. Not for any other reason.

Living together undesireable - depends on who you talk to

Marriage shows more commitment - hard one to quantify

Children need more than one parent - stats show children with 2 parents regularly involved in their upbringing do significantly better. Majority of prisoners from broken homes. Fact.

Faiths should always be questionned - dangerous not to.

Utter rubbish that kids should always wear clothes - IMO only

What really, really ticks me off though, is the people who feel the need to swear at another MNetter.

[paolosgirl]

are the people even
