December 2, 200321 yr CTW DJs Quote Bukey said: it's not down to teachers to force any kind of religion (or atheism or agnostism) down kids throats. Fully agree. I think it's very dubious the way religion, morality & education are bundled together.

Get the teacher to then apologise to your daughter and say he was playing a joke. one again Bukey, how confused is the poor kid gonna be when they find out the "real" truth? he exists. no he doesn't exist actually he does, it was a joke no really he doesn't santa clause is a bit of a sick [censored] fantasy trip, tbh.

So, lets tell kids all the realities of the world from day one. Let's show them what a [censored] up world we really live in. Let's strip them of fantasy, of fairytales, of cartooons and kiddies programs. Let's make them watch educational television programmes only (such as those on the Discovery Channel). No bullshit of stories like Hansel and Gretel (I mean, witches and houses made of sweets!). No bullshit where everything ends happily - lets end all the stories realistically where everyone ends up dead. FFS Phil, get a life. It's okay to indulge kids in fantasy and make believe - believe it or not it stimulates their minds, allows them to develop a sense of imagnation and grow to be more social and human beings. The kid won't end up [censored] up at all... Tell them when they're 9 or 10... May be heartbroken for a while, like half an hour or a day or so. But they'll look back and be thankful of all the fun and adventure they had for the rest of their lives. Steal that now, and the kid will be more bitter in later life. Which will make the kid a more [censored] up member of society? A bitter one, or one with a slightly happier childhood? Now what's the sick fantasy trip? w: www.bukeytheloon.com e: cunt@bukeytheloon.com msn: msn@bukeytheloon.com Other CTWers verdict of Bukey "Another Glowstick waving loon..." - @Bungle "A bit off your tree..." - @baby-rabit "NUUUUTTTTEEEERRRR!" - @Phil rr

Let's strip them of fantasy, of fairytales, of cartooons and kiddies programs. that is not what I'm saying - you're planting words. "all the realities" doesn't include what is basically a huge lie, dreamed up by coca cola. Quote Let's make them watch educational television programmes only (such as those on the Discovery Channel). No bullshit of stories like Hansel and Gretel (I mean, witches and houses made of sweets!). No bullshit where everything ends happily - lets end all the stories realistically where everyone ends up dead. there is no disputing whatsoever that certain stories ARE fantasy. no one is pretending that jack and jill exist. "Santa clause" is actually trying to convince kids for real, that father christmas is a real person who does exist, in real life, . Quote FFS Phil, get a life. i have one but it's slightly different from yours. Quote It's okay to indulge kids in fantasy and make believe - believe it or not it stimulates their minds, allows them to develop a sense of imagnation and grow to be more social and human beings. correct. star wars is fantasy. so is harry potter, and lord of the things, but no one is trying to convince kids these characters actually exist, for real. Quote The kid won't end up [censored] up at all... Tell them when they're 9 or 10... May be heartbroken for a while, like half an hour or a day or so. But they'll look back and be thankful of all the fun and adventure they had for the rest of their lives. Steal that now, and the kid will be more bitter in later life. unfortunately, like you say, this is real life, and you can't control what children hear. it is impossible and unrealistic to think you can tell kids what you want, when you want. Quote Which will make the kid a more [censored] up member of society? A bitter one, or one with a slightly happier childhood? Now what's the sick fantasy trip? to be honest mate, the better the family upbringing a chuld has, the more chance they have of not being f*cked, without even considering when they hear about santa clause. I'm sure i know ppl who knew about "santa clause" when they were young, who are less [censored] up than ppl who were strung along for longer. just MO.
December 2, 200321 yr Author CTW Members something that my mum said to me tonight about the situation "whats better, the truth that brings a tear, or a lie that brings a smile" made me go all warm inside
December 2, 200321 yr CTW Members in this case surely u can tell the truth, and still all feel good about it
December 2, 200321 yr Author CTW Members not really....and you wont understand that until you have kids of your own

Hangon. and you promote the bible? (don't yell at me on this one pls! ) - pm if ya want
December 2, 200321 yr Author CTW Members a very naive view there phil at christmas, kids dont care who loves them or how much, the first time my kids see santa on telly, shop window etc there eyes light up, the excitement is unreal for them, that cannot be replaced by telling/showing my kids how much i love them. after all i do tell them about 5 times a day, so the novelty has kinda wore off
December 2, 200321 yr CTW Members i have some sympathy with phil's position. we impress upon our kids, from an early age, the importance of always telling the truth then one day we tell them we've been lying to them for 5/10/whatever years about something as (relatively) mundane and commercial as santa. so you have to explain that it's "different". well what did you just teach them? the conclusion is surely obvious? encouraging imagination and telling the truth don't have to be mutually exclusive do they? i guess it's all part of the challenge of being a parent... alasdair Edited December 2, 200321 yr by alasdairm "I've got medication, honey.

December 2, 200321 yr Author CTW Members its hardly lying....until that day arrives when they do ask, which unfortunately has come sooner than i thought i was leaving them to beleive what they wanted to believe in.
