Just clearing up a couple of points...in my post I assumed that Scout was male,sorry for that!and then I went on to say that males were more inherently logical than females and that is simply not true..it is my buying into old stereotypes from the old days .

Also ,Wendy imagine if animals had a voice! How different their lives would be.

OZGIRL,
Tell us how you managed to get three posts - an extra one within the 24 hour period

A question for OZGIRL on Big Brother.

If Big Brother is suitable for Children as I think you suggested, then can you explain why it wasn't on durning the day especially during the G rating times such as before 9am and after 3pm?

Scout .

I think KMV summed it up a few posts ago when he asked o Girl why she required to know if posters were men or women.

Instead of asking him questions with an open mind to learn more he gets called a liar.

So much for your freedom.

If I got off post it was in reply to Philo.


She calls me a B and John Howard a creep and all men low bastards for memory.

I reponded in general Snout.

You do not know me so I dont know why you write you understand personal criticism is not something I except.

While I guess nobody really likes it on the contrary as Philo opened the door I happily respond in relation to my animal work.

Your argument that people use BB to educate little kids is beyond the pale.

You all talk about freedom but show no regard for others to share in that freedom especially senior cizs with somewhat older views and morals.

As soon as they post comments you refuse to listen.


I find that BB fans dont want to comprimise at all.

So much for standing up for freedom if those who do not agree with BB fans are to be personally attacked.

The old saying you cant make a silk purse out of a sours ear applies very much here.


The other thing is Snout children are not to only consideration we must repect the elderly and BB very much offends many of them.

To say the news is far worse than BB is utter rubbish.

Not that many young kids sit and watch the news.

What I said was I personally find it offensive.

We were all asked to comment on it.

Since my comment or comments on BB I have been accused of being a B and a heap of personal attacks which pretty much sums it up.

You think somebody whos partners in goal for 5 years and lives off welfare using BB to educate kids is a role model.?

That Snout tells it all about your choice of programe.

Wendy

My moniker is SCOUT not Snout.

I am a woman.

I never said I am a fan of BB.

I simply advised that there are many programs requiring adult supervision if children are watching - this is a choice that parents are free to make.

A criticism of your opinion is not a personal attack.

If we were to ban all any program which MAY offend SOME people we would be living in a totalitarian state - in other words, Wendy, YOU would be unable to make the posts that you are free to now, simply because SOME people MAY be offended by what you have to say.

In your case, Wendy, I agree with some things you post and not others.

Get over it.

Note to Ozgirl - I suggest that you do not stereotype males into 'logical' and females into 'illogical'.

:-)

Wendy, there would be almost nothing left in society if we were to ban everything which was offensive to some section of society or even limited to what offends some of the elderly "we must repect the elderly and BB very much offends many of them.".

The elderly are not a single group, they have a wide variety of views on different topics.

At a guess calls to further increase censorship would very much offend many of them, should that restrict the rights of others to make those calls?

Your comments about animal cruelty could be very offensive to some of the elderly (especially those who have spent their working lives using some of the practices you address) - should your attempts to raise public awareness of those issues be banned?

At best we can try to ensure that involvement is optional (the change channels argument). That won't be a perfect solution to peoples desire to be offended because some can't bear to know that something exists, to them we really need to say "get over it".
