Schools in tennessee k-8 not allowed to discuss gays.

[Buffett and Colbert]

let's see.


I am somewhat against this legislation.
I have REPEATEDLY said, I would be teaching my kids Sex ed including homosexuality
if I were taking them to meet a gay friend, I would explain homosexuality to them in advance.
if parents won't teach their kids sex ed, let them take a sex ed class, I just want mine to learn it at home.
I am for the most part, against this bill, like, 90%
I suppose mid to late middle school would be ok, but before that I don't want the school teaching kids about homosexuality, I'd rather do that.

Is grammar a foreign language to you?

I don't think grammar is a language for anybody.

[Dyakovo]

Good grief. Really? America?

Tennessee. Please.

Well, Tennesse is in America and it does reflect poorly on the rest of the country as well...

[Intangelon]

Aaaand the ignorance continues. Dude, read a book or something before you post such drivel.

Well, merely because you're blind to the fiction of the mods gathering up all political dissent and banishing them to work camps in the frozen tundra, that's really more an issue with you accepting reality.

Lo, I am one with my blindness.

Poor grammar is something up with which I will not put.

[Angleter]

Good grief. Really? America?

Sadly, is this all that surprising?

Given the Montana incident recently on NSG, no. But it does still astound me how a nation of the USA's position in the world can be enacting legislation that any other Western nation would have been striking down back in the '70s.

[MolestingBoys]

This is a terrible terrible tragedy! All young boys should be taught how to respond to homosexual advances and we promise if you send your child to our special education camps he will learn much more that he thought he would ever know!

And there's the problem. This is banning the sex ed classes from having useful information, when the classes are already too crappy to begin with.

Edit: typo

[Soheran]

Well, Tennesse is in America

Yeah, so?

and it does reflect poorly on the rest of the country as well...

I'm not sure how. It's not really a collective decision by "America": rather, a stupid law in a Bible Belt state.

Our country does enough stupid shit at the national level without being blamed as a whole for the doing of particularly bad states.

I think here in Blighty we often miss how very different the centre of the US is compared to our secular wee island.

They are planning to criminalize "homosexual recruitment."

Aye, but then the High Lord Priest Vicar Bishop of Scotland gave a speech today saying that the church should be given the freedom to bash teh gheys. Well I paraphrase, but if you consider the Bible Belt of America to be a theocracy, this isn't the worst they could be doing.

I'm not sure how.

Because it is something that happened within the country.

Seems more like it would be common sense as to what to do if someone makes a pass at you. If you aren't interested in perusing that type of relationship with that particular person, tell them you're not interested... Doesn't really matter WHAT type of person is involved.

LOL, the old fashioned portrayal of homosexuals as pedophiles by illustration of pederastic ephebophilia. Perhaps we can portray the dangers of heterosexuals by illustration of ephebophilic relationships between older man and adolescent girls... Bet they didn't have 1950's PSA's for that.

Now quite the same thing... They didn't introduce the ephebophile as a "Heterosexual"... They should have shown who she was taken by, and introduced him as "This is John Doe, and he's a heterosexual". Like they did in Boys Beware.

Eh... there both still funny!!!

what are you implying?

cough, south hating bigot, cough

[Phonencia]

No, it depends on what it is. Obviously Spina bifida isn't nearly as bad as something like Asperger's.

Not just a troll, but an ignorant troll. Nice. You clearly do not know what spina bifida is, and to claim such a debilitating birth defect as being born with a split spine is not as bad as the flavor-of-the-month, get-out-of-responsibility-free, pseudo-disorder is just plain ignorant.

my 2 year old adopted sister was at risk of spina bifida
and did I mention she was severely abused? nothing serious tho, just a few broken ribs, broken hand or two, you know, the mom said she fell of the couch the bitch....
spina bifida is NOT a laughing matter. my sister (thank god) didn't have spina bifida, but we were all a bit worried for a while.

That not all of the states of America are this stupid.

[Phonencia]

I live in Tennessee. ok. so whatever bigoted stereotypes you have, please lemme hear them so I can disspell them.

The fact that you, personally, may defy the odds doesn't really dispel the over-all impression of your state...especially when your state's elected officials are passing these kinds of laws.
