To my friend gorf..
Did I ever say that foriegn states dont fund trade schools?
I said they dont throw money away at students that show no improvement...I am ALL for training students real world job skills minus "underwaterbasket weaving and calculus" for everyday applications..we all cant be computor geeks..
Bill, have you actually looked into the amount of money foreign countries put into their general education and trade schools?
Even if you don't want to be a "computer geek" does that mean that the children of our society ought to be raised to fear computers rather than being trained on how to use them and the commonly available software effectively?
Your analogy sounds like farmers of the distant past that thought education was wasted on their sons because they don't need to reeedin rightin and rithmatickin to plow the family farm.
Since you're generalizing, I know you're wrong.
Gay parents that I know want only the same things for their children as they advocate for any other children.
For them to be healthy, happy, and have opportunities to succeed in life. Though they teach them that nothing is garanteed or promised. They don't teach them that being gay is the correct or only way to live life.
They decision made by gays isn't predominantly in realizing that they are gay, but deciding to stop living that they've felt is a lie for the sake of their family, friends, and society by pretending to be straight when they've never felt that way.
Please show me your studies that indicate that Bill, the ones that haven't been refuted as being based on pure anti-gay bias.
There are numerous studies. Some do indeed cite differences in kids raised by homosexual parents as opposed to heterosexual parents.
They cite things like females raised by gay couples show more interest in doing things other than being "Suze homemaker" by wanting to work jobs that aren't considered to be tradition "women's work".
They cite thing like males raised by gay couples show less of a tendency towards overall aggression towards others.
They don't cite a higher percentage of children raised by gay couples ending up being gay themselves than children raised by straight couples.
Do you think that boys raised by single striaght moms have a higher chance of ending up being effiminate, or heaven forbid, gay because of being confused with no father figure being present?
Do you think that girls raised by single straight dads have a higher chance of ending up being masculine, and again heaven forbid, gay because of being confused with no mother figure being present?
Yep...
GWB loves telling everyone that since he got relected he's having man dates.
I guess he's been coming out of the closet about being gay.
