- - That is your opinion of me....Since you know nothing of me except my opinion of
- - this issue, I think you have very little to pass judgement on.
-
- Something to do with the way in which you approach a very sensitive
- subject that has everything to do with children.
-
- - I am sorry that you disagree with my opinion or that you disapprove of my
- - parenting techniques, but it is my perogative to raise my children as I
- - see fit and to do for them what I consider to be in their best interests.
-
- In other words, it's okay to brainwash them into hating themselves
- and/or other people? Your prerogative to do that? I don't think so.
- I call it child abuse.
-
- - If it disagrees with your opinion, so be it, but back off the name-calling.
-
- Every time a gay teen-ager commit suicide, I'll be sure to "back off."
- After all, I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings.
-
- - It is offensive and certainly not constructive to this discussion.
-
- As offensive as promoting self-hate in the nation's youth.
-
- - You are entitled to your opinion as I am entitled to mine.
-
- Opinions are fine. Child abuse is not.
