pelican,
The only difference is the age of one involved, now UK courts are happy to place infant children into an environment where homosexuality is practised. The problem is the link of homosexuality with pedophilia.

One day we’ll have to have a discussion about hate and is it an acceptable emotion yeah? I’m all for it usually and feel it should often be embraced.

AJ:”No, I don’t hate anyone, and it’s a sad world we live in if someone can’t just tell it how it is without appearing like they hate people.”

Maybe so AJ but many would probably be okay with the fact that someone was reading what they wrote and it sunk in enough to comment on. :P

Philo:” The only difference is the age of one involved, now UK courts are happy to place infant children into an environment where homosexuality is practised. The problem is the link of homosexuality with pedophilia.”

Jesus H Christ Philo. Shut up shut up shut up.

Runner:” Call me an extremist, terrorist or whatever you want but it does not change the fact that homosexuality is unnatural. To teach children otherwise is to teach them a lie.”

It aint unnatural you extreme terrorist. Some might not be interested in it and even find it disgusting and I see nothing wrong with people feeling whichever way they please. I nearly vomit when I see people letting dogs lick their face, my problem and I wouldn’t make it theirs and I wouldn’t go labeling it unnatural just because I have an issue with it. How consenting adults spend intimate moments isn’t something I dwell on. Well okay sometimes I do but I try not to.

See why fostering isn’t easy Runner? You can’t dish those opinions you have up with dinner same as you can’t say to someone else’s child that dogs licking your face is disgusting – what if their dad lets their dog do it and it is a good memory they have from being at home?

What if they have two dads who they see twice a month on access visits that they love to bits or an older brother who is gay? Not causing further harm comes first and last. Opinions are for OLO not our displaced Aussie babies.

Christianity is a divisive and hateful religion.
AJ Phillips,
Religion is divisive & hateful, that is religion's sole purpose. To single out Christianity is as stupid as religion itself.

Last month I attended a funeral of a fine 42 year young man. He was gay. His parents, very close friends of ours, were devout Christians and loved that boy deeply. You should have witnessed to devotion they had for their son as they spent the last six months attending to his every need having to leave home and find accomodation 300 kilometers away so they could be with their son. You should have witnessed the tears they shed for their son. No parents wants to die before their child.

His parents will have outlived his life more than twice his age because they engaged in a natural hetrosexual relationship. Their son died of AIDS because he chose an unnatural sexual lifestyle. Please tell the gynacological profession that bacteria and viruses from the bowel in the urethra does no harm.

Morning Philo, I suspect the question of having unsafe sex is a separate one that concerns both hetro’s and homo’s alike.

Sorry to hear about the grieving parents and I have a lot of sympathy for them, similar to the sympathy I have for any biological parent who have lost their children to the foster care industry.

Are they all hateful Individual? Or do humans just have this knack of making everything hateful? Which team they pick in life seems to set up a natural dislike for the other side.

The children born into or placed with families that have been force fed certain beliefs suffer a lot as several sets of foster parents try and twist children to their way of thinking. Attending one interview with a 6 year old girl and her lawyer the lawyer asked if she liked living in my house. The little angel replied “yes there aren’t so many ni99ers around here”.

Another small boy for the first few days of arriving referred to me as “the white b1tch”. Quite a few have had a god thing going on in a variety of disturbing ways where this all powerful being is more frightening in their wee minds than any monster that may be lurking under the bed.

Mostly these kids are taught within the system that they do not matter, have no control and will not be heard. I imagine several thousand walk out of care each year as 18 year olds hating just about everything and everyone in their path. I’ve only seen American stats where the prisons there are full of ex foster children.

Thirty something thousand in care now in Aussie (16k of them in NSW) and the number is growing. Who raises them is important to all of us.

Jewely,
Thank you for your sympathies for our friends. There were about 40 of his gay friends at the funeral who shared a hug with his parents. There was no hatred or ill will expressed.

Of the many children we have fostered over the years, many came from drug addicts, parents in prison; single mum's not able to cope etc. These children never had a loving environment to start with; if they did they would not have been in a foster situation. To suggest that the foster parents had a deleterious effect on these children might be unfair
