Guest MattP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Thoroughly stressful but I had spherical to help me through the difficult time with words of wisdom and experience. At least you beat Moosebreath to it!
FuriousFox46 Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 I'd find it a huge challenge I'm sure, I'd certainly try as much as possible to bring in my mother in as a female role model for her than she could talk to about all those sort of things. Like I've said, I can understand the argument if it's no parents oor gay parents, ahead of a normal couple, no way. How was your first period? Because men don't understand menstruation or how it works in the slightest? They have no concept of biological mechanisms. Why do they need experience to explain it to them? Mothers and daughters don't meet up once a month for in depth discussions on vaginal bleeding.
Guest MattP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Careful. Agree with the point though, straight couples should take priority. Normal as in the ditionary definition. "conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural"

Most people who have brought up children would say the same.
theessexfox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Thankfully, the progression of society will remove your stone age views one day. I don't think they will - there is less likelihood of a child being bullied or victimised for having good, straight parents than good, gay parents. 'Progression of society' will not change that fact.

Charl91 Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Thinking about it, I'd actually rather a child be adopted by a gay couple than a single-parent.
theessexfox Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Thinking about it, I'd actually rather a child be adopted by a gay couple than a single-parent. This. Good straight couple > Good gay couple > Single-parent > None
Finnegan Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 At least you beat Moosebreath to it! I just couldn't be bothered to log out of Finnegan and in to MooseBreath for one predictable gag.
Mark_w Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 I'd say experience helps absolutely. Most people who have brought up children would say the same. Experience may help, but it doesn't make people without that experience incapable. I'm no expert, but I'm fairly sure that all parents have to cope with children having experiences that are completely different to their own and the majority cope just fine. For instance, plenty of heterosexual couples have found out that their kids are homosexual and have been able to help and support them even though it's completely different to their own experience. And it's not like those kids wouldn't for instance have female teachers they can talk to.
Guest MattP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 This. Good straight couple > Good gay couple > Single-parent > None I think that's where most would fall down to be honest.
Rincewind Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 In my day we had to make do with magazines now kids have the internet and Ho Celebs to learn about sex so parents needed.
Guest MattP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 In my day we had to make do with magazines now kids have the internet and Ho Celebs to learn about sex so parents needed. Yep, no parents needed. Why not eh? Leave them at 5 to go out, they have the net and if they want learn about society or something happening to them then google is only a click away. Great stuff.

I wouldnt go as far as that but the choice of methods have always been there. Where's there a will there is a way.
MooseBreath Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Funny how so many liberals - who often fall back on supposed superior morality as the fundamental base of their views - are only too happy to ruthlessly completely disregard the experience of an innocent child in favour of pandering to a tiny section of modern adult society. Absolutely shameful, but not at all surprising.
Guest MattP Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Will be interesting to see what the offspring's of the kids think about going to see Grandad and Grandad in thirty years time The thought of your parents having sex is awful, can you imagine the thought of Grandad being rogered up the arse by another pensioner? Soneone really hasn't thought this through.

Absolutely shameful, but not at all surprising. As someone said earlier...what about the (hypothetical) children?!!!!! Scandalous. Edit: I should say I am in favour of a different-sex couple being given priority for adoption over a same-sex one, all other factors being equal. I just think the response by some folk (not on here) to this whole issue has been utterly hysterical for no good reason.
Rincewind Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Maybe when that time comes there won't be a stigma about it. Even saying 'rogered up the arse' might be considered more offensive than funny in similay ways that words for non-whites have been.

Fvck the wellbeing of the kids, there's a couple of gay blokes who might be mildly offended. As a society we need to move on, and the best way to do that is to use kids as martyrs.
Steven Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 Two people of the same sex entering into a legal union is not marriage. That said, I have no objection to two people of the same sex entering into a legal union, but don't call it marriage.

I'm sure if you lot get your way we will all walk around with our mouths taped over, crash helmets and armbands on and with strings in our backs that utter a comment carefully selected by a body of self appointed do gooders.

It's just a word, the meaning of which predates the religious ceremony for which it is now so closely associated.

Rincewind Posted 17 July 2013 Posted 17 July 2013 The majority of of cases involving child abuse shows that the culprit is closely related to the victim. Father or Mother or another close relative.
