She was simply stating that a wedding ceremony of ANY kind, gay, straight or otherwise IS NOT FIELD TRIP MATERIAL. Put the chip on your shoulder away for a minute and focus on the real issue. The kids should be in SCHOOL.

      - She claims a wedding "isn't educational material". - For a 1st-grader, everything is educational!
        Well, this is one educational moment they - don't need for their future... MSMT

        Bet me! - SF
- Oh please. I live in SF, and the kids are going to see their - TEACHER get married... -sm
  - The question was not are you for/against gay marriages - -sm
    - In a city with a large gay/lesbian population, gay -sm - SF
      - For example, I have a lot of opinions and beliefs....do you want to send your child (or another chil - MeMT
        This is just a simple wedding. Nothing more, - nothing less.
        Then why did you just say it would teach tolerance? Apparently there was a goal. sm - MeMT
        Today's children are tomorrow's leaders and - lawmakers. Would you rather - sm
        Of course I would want to be equally valued. Why can't that be taught at home? nm - MeMT
        It can't because most parents (read this board!) are NOT - tolerant nor open-minded. - nm
      - I still think it should be the parents who teach the child these things, not the school's place. - MeMT
        In too many cases, that would just perpetuate - the myths, fears, and hatred.
        But this is not a school-wide accepted teaching practice, it is individual (nm) - MeMT
        Maybe not in the midwest, but in San Francisco, - tolerance is taught in our schools.
        Last time I was in SF, there was NAKED biking group parading down the road. Now THAT was educational - MeMT
        So what? It's a minor blip in everyday city life. - .
        Do you have kids? Do you want them seeing some stranger's penis or vagina? nm - MeMT - last post - aren't you glad?
        haha - I've seen a penis or two in town, but golly - - never taking the time to see a vagina!
        No, in the MW our kids go to school to get an acutal - education - how silly of us nm
        If intolerance is part of the MW curriculum, then - I'm glad my kid lives in SF.
        Everyone belongs somewhere; it sounds like you are in the right place....see msg - nm
        That's it exactly. And you're welcome to come - visit this beautiful city any time!
- And this is why our country is going to h@ll in a - a handbasket........nm
- I'd be all over that school with an attorney for it. - Ridiculous
- So did they do this on school time? - -sm
  - It's not on school time. - nm
- If this was MY child??? sm - MT and worn out
  - If it were MY child, I'd buy her a pretty dress to wear - and tell her to have a good time.
    - If wanting to teach my son our own family values makes me a bigot..then so be it. sm - MT and worn out
      - Pretty sad to stunt a child's intellectual growth. - .
      - What a bunch of kooks - NM
  - Unfortunately, the schools stick their nose in many things that should be the parents job (sm) - MeMT
    - Any parent who choses to has the option of - keeping their kid home.
- Not educational. This is something that should be the parents job to teach, not the school. sm - MeMT
  - Chances are, this is an outdoor, nondominational - wedding. There are likely school district -

Never said that she was, just stating the obvious......
I know if she were my sister (I'm around her age) I would not have wanted anyone to know, that's all.

No, I am just stating my experience
What I have said is not made up, just MY experience! You need to present all sides here, not just "there are options." You say that like the soldier has the option of staying here or not. No, she has to go through the proper channels, and REQUEST, not tell them what she wants to do. They can then say yay or nay!

I know this is stating the obvious but sm
Just quit doing it and they will get the idea and stop. Trust me, I have a whiner for attention here at my house (and I have French doors to my office so he can see me to boot!), and when he pulls that whining nonsense I just ignore him, he gets bored, and moves on. Be firm! Best of luck!

Gee, didn't mean it was NOT in the blood but stating that it would have
shown in the autopsy quite quickly in the organs, as that is what I thought the original poster had inquired about.

Just stating the facts ma'am, and it looks like
you are not such a great diagnostician either! lol

I was simply stating what my sweet addiction is and what
my not sweet addiction is.

Someone who is atheist clearly is not going to Heaven. No judging, just stating fact as
per the Holy Bible.

I wasn't judging, just stating the facts ma'am....
these were things that were mentioned in the trial. And the baby and the methadone thing was accused by Larry B, I think he would know if she was taking methadone, and she was on something, we all know that.

I was just suprised when you replied to my message stating people just amaze you for being SM
so insensitive when she posted the remark about her ill mother the day after my post. I have a very ill mother myself and would never, ever treat that lightly. I just get annoyed with people blaming the animals and calling them stupid, when in fact it is the stupidity of the owners and the total disregard of neighbors that cause these problems. Have a good day.
