The child has it absolutely correct.

His mother doesn't need to be fixed, she needs to have the same rights as everyone else.

perhaps some can accept the concept if the child is 19 and not 8

I agree.

I also agree with this!

@ emily...
aren't you just the agreeable one today

Second that.

Coaxed or not, people could learn a lot from kids like that. We need to take the logs out of own eyes and quit judging everyone else. Someone choosing to love and be with someone of the same sex, is NOT affecting anyone else but them. I don't care what the religious right says about it. It only starts affecting people because they CHOOSE to be offended, nothing else.

People need to get over themselves, the world is not gonna end because two guys or two girls marry, men and women will still get together, still have sex, still have kids, etc. Life will go on like it always has.

Besides that, if all this was so unnatural why does it show up in animals for? Do they need "fixing" too?

tell people who have contacted std and passed them along that sex is only affecting them

tell people who lay down with strangers and bring in fatherless children that sex is only affecting them

its a false belief

we can learn from children that love is possible in SPITE of people being imperfect, or having flaws, or making mistakes

I hardly think anyone objects to who people LOVE

who people lie down and share fluids with, or what people do with their bodies however,,,is a different story


life goes on in spite of all types of unhealthy behaviors, the world spins even when people DIE, yet we still manage to advise people against things which might lead to their death,, even if it doesnt immediately affect 'US'

I think people do need to get over themself, but I think the notion that anything that doesnt affect me directly shouldnt concern me is one of those mentalities that is just as egotistical ,,,,,


and different species have different 'natural' things, so comparing humans to animals is irrelevant

some species in nature even kill their mate after they have mated with them, some kill their babies if they dont come out strong enough

but I wouldnt suggest that is therefore the 'natural' thing for humans,,,

I accept the opinion, I just dont agree with it.

I could post opinions that agree with mine and Im sure plenty would not 'accept' that.


its not about accepting, its just about agreeing. I dont think an 8 year old has enough understanding about sex to be looked to for advice. An adult holds more credibility for me, but on this subject, even their opinions fall on both sides of the debate.

At least the boy grew up with some manners, don't ya think he was polite?!?. Can ya look for one good thing?!? DANG!
It's NOT about sex~~
Your the one who brings up all the weird ****...animals, molesters, incest..bla, bla, bla.
You make it ugly, no one is wanting that garbage to be ok.
Nobody said go to an 8 year old for sex advise.
Your missing the point msharmony !

Full moon energy abounds tonight,
not going to waste mine on this.

peace

Pure indoctrination.
Kids being taught that homosexing is acceptable behavior.

Ah hell, it's almost 2012! Not the 1950's.........to each his/her own I say!

as stated before, I do find the ignorance of youth to be 'sweet' sometimes,, especially in how children can often feel their parents do no wrong and are perfect,,,

So.... the basic fact is that "parenting" is the problem? I can agree with that.

How about economic hardship? Too much TV and not enough peer to peer activity, sports, outside interests?

How about religion? Maybe it's bad teachers, or bad laws, or bad people who decide what the laws should be?

Perhaps we need a dictator and a military to keep them in power telling us what's right or wrong?

8 year olds DO have opinions! They base them on their environment, actions and words within it. They are not always sound nor informed, but that is the result of their involvement in those issues, and their comprehension of them.

Yep, it's parenting!

I remember a Star Trek episode about kids ruling a planet....

They called anyone over 14 "Grumps"...short for "grownups"!

Plot

On stardate 2713.5, the starship USS Enterprise, under the command of Captain James T. Kirk, follows an old planetary distress call leading to a planet that looks exactly like Earth in every detail.

Kirk assembles a landing party consisting of himself, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Yeoman Janice Rand, and two security personnel, to investigate this remarkable find. Upon their arrival, they find the planet is virtually a duplicate of Earth of the 1960s, but it all seems abandoned. As the team curiously inspects a tricycle, they are attacked by a ragged man who seems infected by a horrible disfiguring mutation, but shows incredible strength. Spock attempts to stun the man with his phaser, but the man drops dead at that point. The security guards then spot another figure running into a building.

The team chases the figure down, discovering that it's a terrified girl, who appears physically normal. She identifies herself as Miri (Kim Darby), and when asked why she ran away from them, she tells them because they are "grups" (a contraction of "grown ups"), and the grups killed and hurt the children before they died. When asked where her family are, Miri tells them that she is an "Onlie", and she and her friends are the "only ones" left as all the adults are dead.

Soon the landing party starts to notice painful blue sores are forming on their bodies; Spock however remains immune. Miri informs them that these are the first sign of the disease, and they will soon become like the other adults. The team searches an abandoned hospital for clues to the mysterious condition. They discover the disease infects only those who have reached puberty. It is an accidental side-effect of an experiment to prolong life; the technique works on children, but when they reach puberty, they enter a short period of violent rage and then die. Shockingly, they learn that the children are over 300 years old, having aged only one month's time every century.

McCoy also discovers that once the disease starts, they only have 7 days to live. Even though Spock seems immune to the disease, he believes he is still a carrier and could infect the Enterprise if he returns.

Meanwhile, the rest of the hiding children, who do not trust these new grups, decide to meddle with their plans. Their leader, a boy named Jahn, steals the landing party's communicators, which renders McCoy's search for a cure nearly impossible without assistance from the Enterprise computers. Miri however, doesn't agree with the other children's mischief and stays near Captain Kirk, on whom she appears to have a crush. However, when Yeoman Rand becomes hysterical over their impending fate and Kirk tries to console her, Miri becomes jealous and runs away to scheme with her friends. The children devise a "foolie" prank and kidnap Rand.

Returning later, Miri is confronted by Kirk, who tells her she and the others will eventually contract the disease just like the grups if they don't help him find a cure. In fact, he grabs Miri's arms and shows her the blue sores that are already forming on her skin.

Miri takes Kirk to the schoolhouse where Rand is held captive. He confronts the children and tries to get it through their heads that none of this is a game. At first the children don't listen and continue to harass him, encouraged by Jahn. They become increasingly menacing until one of them finally beats Kirk nearly senseless with a wrench. Bruised and bloodied, Kirk implores them to think of the youngest onlies, who will be left without resources when the older ones are dead. He warns them that the stores of food and supplies are nearly depleted. He also points out that the children have hurt him and now have blood literally on their hands, exactly like the grups they are afraid of. "I'm a grup," he says, "and I want to help."

Kirk rounds up the children and returns to the hospital, but finds that Spock has previously found that McCoy, unable to accurately test his experimental serum, has injected himself with a full dose and collapsed to the floor. Soon however, his sores fade away. The serum is found to be safe and completely destroys the disease. After curing the landing party and the children, Kirk informs Starfleet to send teachers and advisers to the duplicate Earth, to help the children start their lives over again.

Friggin Gov't involvement!

I have seen.
Three generations since the fifties lose morality and and value life much less.

Mine, with sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. Hence, aids and other sex oriented diseases.

My kids generation, now in their 30's with the Rap, Gangster, drugs.

The new, upcoming generation lacking value of life with filming beat-downs, gang invasions of stores. They are much more violently inclined. Pop-a-cap just to see what it feels like to kill.

New movies rated R and every other word is Fck this or that. Lack imagination. It was a great movie and didn't need the excess fcking. Just more, lack of dignity, honor and respect being drilled into the up and running generation.

I will not buy into the, 'homosex is a wholesome family value'.

I think we have gone more towards an egocentric, materialistic, technological existence than a communal, integrity based, intimate social one

and the causes are high in number and complex,, but do indeed involve a changing egocentric value and outlook on life,, in my opinion, equating to lower morals,,
