So, while I personally dont have an issue w my kids being exposed to this at an early age, I do understand and respect those that do. My kids have been aware of the fact that people exist that are different from them in a variety of ways, including sexuality, and they're ok and accepting of that. But using a more exteme example of 'kindergarden' probably isn't a very fair test to apply to this discussion.

The article was from today.
I am not and never have kept my kids from being around, hanging out with anyone. Race or sexuality.

I clicked ignore on those guys many hours ago, but am enjoying your posts. I can only imagine the stupid arguments coming from the other side.

Ignoring people on a forum is like a certain kind of bliss. If everyone on this board ignored the 5 or so recurrent trolls (we all know who they are) , they would be neutered and this forum would be a normal place to visit and talk soccer,including referees.

Hard to disagree... unfortunately this also makes it hard to influence others or have a civil discussion w/ opposing pov's...

You can't pick and choose what is and is not a good example.

Some choose to bury their head , aka ignore/unfriend/delete when confronted with an opposing view.

I wonder how people go through life like that. They must carry a lot of hate and anger towards people. Why live your life like that? Especially when they preach tolerance, really makes them look hypocritical...

I don't think, for most part, ppl block/ignore/hide because they encounter an opposing POV. You have to agree that some on this thread have acted pretty hostile & made some rather personal insults (myself included) & few just stirred the pot w/ zero value add. For most part, that's not required in a debate... ppl visit forums for information exchange, not to be beaten down (unless you're into that kind of a thing, in which case this is a wrong forum :))

The author asked for opinions, I am giving mine, do you think your opinion is better that the 5 trolls? Rather eliteist, wouldn't you say?

CF was posting plenty of the crap and now she decides to hide? I guess she couldn't stand the heat... I could post something really funny here but I'll resists the temptation.

I don't think I have purposely insulted anyone.
