Would you disown your child??????????

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

Fortunately, my son is normal.

Not like his dad then

With respect conny, the thread is entitled "Would you disown your child??????????" So, the door was opened to suggest any number of reason why someone may decide to disown their child being "gay" was an example.

Yes, a very valid point and I admit my error.

However, does it still need to result in name calling/slagging off becuase someone doesn't agree/like anothers point of view?
Seems a pretty childish response to me to be honest. If you have a view/opinion express it, if you disagree with someone elses viewpoint either put up a sensible reply/argument without the childish response or if you are unable to do so in an educated way then say nothing.
Seems easy to me.

I agree Conny, now sod off you pillock

Would I shake their hand,-- Yes.

Would I enjoy my sunday dinner,- Yes

Could they stay the Night,-NO!

I believe people should be able to live within the law how they want, but not under my roof.

conny, you often step in as forum peace keeper so it's good to see you back.

You also know that threads get out of hand because some see any reply as a personal challenge, some are just insecure while others, see it as a game
This isnt real life for most of us is it?

Anyway back to the thread which is as thought provoking as Joe's "what is wealth" thread.

it's sad to see two families are suffering because a family member is gay. Even sadder that RC wants to repair the damage and cant, while shifty, doesnt want to try.

AJ, thank you for that reply.
I've never seen myself as a 'peacekeeper' on here its just that I've had so many 'pointless' arguments over the years with family and so called friends that it struck me one day how 'unhappy' I had become.
I like peace in my life, and these days am lucky enough that most of the time I have it, but I also like a good discussion where valid points are raised and differing opinions are respected. This, to me, is achievable without resorting to the depths that some posters on here seem to sink to in an effort to upset/bully their opponent so when I see this happening it just comes to me to 'step-in' and try to get things back on track.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a totally serious geek with no sense of humuor, (I am a scouser after all! ), so things like this;

I agree Conny, now s** off you pillock

will be taken in the spirit it is meant, (I'll get you Gasman28, behind the bike sheds after geography I'm gonna smash your face in, ).

Anyway, I'm digressing, (Oooer! Is that legal? ), lets continue to have some good arguments/discussions/exchanges without the personal attacks eh?

This is so true and very sad indeed.

Jealousy will get you nowhere!

All adds to motivation.

Bit confused - your son now back at home? Is this anything to do with a marriage breakup and/or latest grandchild?

 

[conny]

To do with relationship breakup and the fact they fell so far behind with the rent on the house they effectively got evicted but the relationship had been on the rocks for quite a while. This was the final straw and they decided to go their separate ways. He moved back with us and she went back to her mums. They share access to the kids so they now tend to stay at ours a couple of nights and at her parents the other nights.
The new grandson is my daughters second child and his illness was an entirely separate worry.

Confused? You would be if you lived in my house!

It's at times like this I bet you wish you'd downsized to a small caravan

A tent in the Welsh mountains sometimes seems attractive!

Oh I forgot to add, my son got sole custody of the dog!
A 15month old staff b itch, good thing is he trained her well and she is very obedient, (most times )

 

[Mickymoody]

I don't believe people are born gay, they choose a path. I know gay people and they speak a certain way, they didn't learn that from birth. But this didn't happen in the 60's or 70's, so a trend is born, so it's people making a trend, like the punks, or rockers of that age to make a statement. Not really gay, doing the act, just to go against the establisment. Oh look at me, I'll put on a femenine voice, I'm gay. When really they are rocking against the establishment.

If you are gay, stand up and say you are gay, but don't put this iffeminate act on, and parades, oh look at us, we are gay! just to make a statement that doesnt work.

 

[Shifty22]

If I had a son like shifty, a self confessed racist homophobic who disapproves of (other) people buying new cars, I would disown him.
Fortunately, my son is normal.

Your son isn't going to be normal with a pilchard like you as a father.

Yes i'm a racist homophobe, i'm also a little sexist and a tad ageist, what he f*ck has that got to do with you? Hopefully your son brings home a buff black guy and he spins your son his c*ck.
