Here is another link as to what the Safe Schools Coalition
does:

It might be useful to find out the facts rather than
spread misinformation.

'All these years on this forum and you haven't progressed one iota.'

yeah Poirot as a good self righteous regressive you have gone backwards.

Poirot:

What satisfaction do you get from abusing people, denigrating them, ridiculing them and sarcastically putting them down? Even if they are everything you say they are then what is the point of pointing it out to them other than a desire to try and hurt them? How does it contribute to an understanding of the issues raised in the thread?

It appears to me that 90 per cent of your contributions are devoted to trying to hurt others. What does that teach young people? You seem to consider the safe schools program is good because it lessens the bullying that kids have to endure but you also are showing them by your example that everything changes once they get out of school and run into people like you who cannot have a reasonable discussion without aiming to hurt the people they are having the discussion with.

Just because other people on the forum use the same tactics as you do does not make it right. Bullying anywhere or place is wrong so why do you personally feel the need to do it and more importantly why do you need to do it here? This forum exists in order to discuss issues which most of us care about. It is not a platform for personal bitterness and relevance deprivation syndrome. So why do you resort to such behaviour?

Rarely do you have anything valuable to say to the topic and when others seek to find out your opinion you just retreat or attack them. Abusing these forums as a way of avoiding you insecurities shows a complete lack of respect for those who come here with genuine motives.

So we've all probably agreed that bullying is wrong, except perhaps Poirot who enjoys it, but we can excuse that, she's probably born that way.

So what else about 'Safe Schools' ? At school, boys to use boys' toilets, girls to use girls' toilets, a unisex toilet should be built for those who want one, just like at home. Right. Tick.

Kids in their early teens should be confronted with the hypothetical that they have no genitals, or they have the other' gender's genitals. Fantastic. Exciting, even !

Just when kids may be having all sorts of uneasy feelings about their bits and pieces, just when their hormones are starting to rage uncontrollably, someone steps in to stir the possum. Great !

And then encourages them to get on the internet without their parents knowing - parents are such bastards ! - and, unintentionally, get in touch with their local friendly pedophile ! Just wonderful !

At this rate, we could pull bourgeois society down within a generation ! Keep it up, guys !

But, seriously, don't forget what it's all supposed to be about: ending the bullying of homosexual kids in schools. Ah yeah, right.

phanto,

That's quite an impressive post.

That post is akin to the actions of the swaggering school bully who's finally had his nose pushed in and is running shrieking to the headmaster, telling everyone on the way that he's being bullied.

"Rarely do you have anything valuable to say to the topic and when others seek to find out your opinion you just retreat or attack them. Abusing these forums as a way of avoiding you insecurities shows a complete lack of respect for those who come here with genuine motives."

You've bent over backwards on that other thread to blame that young man for his bullying...insinuating on several occasions that he himself was the problem...with no evidence to draw that conclusion...is that your example of "a genuine motive"?

You. phanto, make a habit of jumping on a thread to sprinkle your consrutucted scenarios. You then label these imaginings "questions". Never mind that they have no basis in fact and are merely suppositions - you demand that anyone you happen to address should answer them...pronto!

If they don't respond to your suppositions, you then get quite snarky.

When your arguments are shot down in flames, you come out with the most ridiculous retorts.

Regarding runner, whom one presumes you are defending with your mini tirade. runner, has no argument. runner has an ideology which he assumes allows him to sit at his keyboard calling people bigots, perverts and haters. I tend to call that out for the brazen vacuous cowardice it is.

"It appears to me that 90 per cent of your contributions are devoted to trying to hurt others..."

You're a typical bully.

You don't like it when you can't manipulate the discussion. You don't like it when someone out-manoeuvres your agenda and calls you out for your embroidered commentary. You don't like it when someone stands up to you.

Parents, teachers and the public expect that government is always an honest broker, particularly where social policy affecting children and their parents is concerned.

The Safe Schools Program will always be under a cloud, always suspect as will be its implementers after Roz Ward, the manager and co-founder of Safe Schools Coalition Victoria, was quoted telling a Marxist conference that the Safe Schools Coalition program is part of a broader Marxist strategy to change society.

There are better uses for taxpayers' money.
