...and it got me thinking, we haven't had a rolling story for a while, a story we all contribute to. We could do a "Legend of Sparta" thing, with a little Herculese type adventure.
So... what is your profession?

Bring in those Cuban cigars, and give them cars in return!<

I think this really is more for our (European Union) benefit than Cuba.

If teaching your child strapping a bomb to their body, and blowing your self up, murdering people is being "Good"......
Seems like some people think its ok to raise your children to hide amoung the people, and murder as many as you can.<

So where is the line for you?
Sorry to pick on you, but I bet you saw it coming smile

"i do not have a clear answer."
Yes you do.

"you're comparing the human race to something that you wont name."

I have made no comparison, I have made a statement, a statement which you want to argue with but cannot unless you somehow convince ME that MY actual intent was to compare despte the fact that I made it quite clear that MY statement was a statement, and even indicated the logic behind my statement.

You don't like my statement, fine.
You think my statement is wrong, then feel free to explain why you think so.
You want to try and tell ME what the intent of MY words were, then you can insert your head into your rectum and swallow.

"my backing is all over these forums"

Very well, then please back up the following statement using evidence only from these forums:

"you downplay the importance of the human race because you dont want to deal with your responsibility for your own actions."


"ah, looks like someone is backing out because he doesnt know what he's talking about; he just heard someone say it, so he mimicked it like a monkey, and doesnt comprehend what he, himself, is saying."

You may say whatever you like, but know this: your attempts to "spin" this in your favour cannot change one simple fact: Like it or not you have a clear answer.
__________________________________________

I'm not going to ask for an apology anymore, even though you have insulted me again with your prejudice and bigotry, because I honestly do not think you are capable of doing such a thing. To apologise, in your mind I think, is to admit weakness, to admit wrongness, to admit mistakes, to admit the very human ability to err, hence your little "spin" game: Why be a man when you can spin and lie?

How very Christian of you.

erm... is that the phone I hear? must dash!

"...saying humans arent important or special is comparing us to something, what is that?"

I will not answer this question again; my answer will not change, nor will my explanation, no matter how many times you ask, no matter how much you dislike it, no matter how incapable you are of grasping the premise.
Sorry if that came off as personally insulting but I had to be certain I was being very clear.


"it has more backing then your statement..."

And what would that be? Do you know me? Do you know me well enough to make statements regarding my person? No, or course you don't, how could you, we're not even in the same country.

My statement, however, has plenty of backing, and this backing can be found all over the internet in the form of creationists, flat earthers and people who allow their children to die because they honestly believe that their happy thoughts will do more good than a hospital.

Now, about that apology... you don't even have to mean it wink

"The Tunguska event was most likely a meteorite which exploded in the atmosphere producing a pressure wave which knocked down trees and what not at ground level, other attempted explanations I have seen have just been nonsense."

This also happened over the disputed region of Kashmir, almost sparking a full scale nuclear war between India and Pakistan... You don't want to know how close we came.

"It is quite normal for parents to try to interest their kid(s) in what they themselves are interested in."

Perhaps I should be asking "What is the difference between this ^ and brainwashing?"

what are you comparing us to when you say we arent special or important?
you downplay the importance of the human race because you dont want to deal with your responsibility for your own actions.<

I am not comparing Humans to anything when I say that Humans are not special or important, it is a simple statement of fact: If we were to vanish tomorrow what, other than our own buildings, would fall? Nothing, for without us the world would be at balance once more.

As for your assumtion that I am looking to shirk my responsibilities, to run away from the consequences of my own actions, you have no backing for that statement beyond prejudice and bigotry, I find it insulting and ask for an apology.

Actually I'm quite happy, in fact you would probably be surprised to learn that my childish nature makes some of my friends worry about me sometimes... when they are not being irritated by my stupid games that is! big_smile

In order to raise a child to adulthood one must make sacrifices, we all know that. For example; one must leave the bachelor lifestyle behind, leave the Bar for the weekends only and be a firm, sober, presence in the child's life, otherwise you could accidentally be responsible for the child turning into an alcoholic.

Self sacrifice, the cornerstone of any forward thinking society.

But what of self interest, is self interest also necessary? It it right to "guide" your children towards the future you want for them, to buy little Annie pencils and paints so she can be the artist you want her to be when all she wants to do is play with the dollies and kitchen set granny bought her for Christmas.

Of course sometimes the answer is clear, a paedophile guiding the future of his or her child, "grooming" them to accept that it is perfectly normal for adults to have sex with children, is qute clearly wrong, robbing the child of a choice it should not have to make until maturity, if ever.
A quick google with lead you to the depressing truth as to the future of these victims; unfortunately most abused boys and girls become abusers themselves, the self interest of their parents/step parents/uncle lumpy lap irreversibly altering their minds forever.

So is self interest ever acceptable in parenting?
Is there a line, between the two, between self interest and self sacrifice, or does the line lie in one of the two?
Is some forms of self interest acceptable, to raise your child to worship the great whirling ball of death on the opposite side of the line to raising your child to be a rapist, paedophile, or merely a slut?
