The things that makes children make decisions they don't need to make are false information, prejudice, fear, coercion, abuse and so forth. Not well-rounded education about the years ahead.

You are discussing gender bias/sexuality and talking about children making decisions - so yes, you are

Pretty much, but there seems less tolerance for some viewpoints than others though….

I'm curious as to which way you see the slant?

Did you miss 'they don't need to make' directly after the bit you bolded?

[HighPeakFox]

Wow, talk about conveniently misreading what I said to counter what someone else said, in order to make me the perpetrator.

Or by making children who are so impressionable at that age make decisions they don’t need to make.

 

I just feel it’s the parents job at that young age and nobody else’s.

What, the it's the parents' job to make children who are so impressionable at that age make decisions they don't need to make?

 

I think you're railing against something that doesn't exist. Nobody (well, nobody in schools; I'm not so sure about a lot of parents) is making children make any decisions about stuff like this.

I suspect a lot of children form their own ideas/thoughts/feelings about how/who they are at a younger age than you think, and all anyone is wanting to do is make sure nobody feels guilt, or feels inferior, or thinks they're bad in some way, about whoever they are.

I read it differently, I read it as they need to make decisions, but they could not do so without exposure to all the plethora of societal information.

Apologies if I misinterpreted!

 

Only came here to read about boycotts anyway….

Think I should perhaps read more of this unexpected thread before making (further) snap comments.

Yeah - this isn't like the Rodgers Out thread, or the one which is probably still trundling on blaming Perez for everything! You can't turn your back on this one for a month or two and then when you come back it's all exactly the same stuff, there's just a hundred more pages of it.

 

Proper philosophers, we are on here.

Why should Qatar be obliged to have our culture forced upon them? 

Because they decided to host something called the 'World' Cup. I hear they were quite keen on getting it too, even going to some considerable expense. So it's a bit late to suffer from buyer's remorse, no?

Very wise, those pages have nowt to do with a World Cup boycott.
