I'm sure it is, but respectfully, the other points in my post were not about sexual abuse.

**I have no doubt that is Obama comes back on and he probably will they will question him hard and he will be able to handle it.**


They 'may' ask him but they'll also give him the respect he deserves unlike they did McCain.

**It was total disregard for those who have or are in the process of loosing their home.**


Baloney...& I will say it is a lot of people's faults they're losing homes as so many have gotten in over their heads because they were too greedy & wanted more home than they could pay for.

**No I am inclined to think that the wealthy shouldn't be penalized for being successful.**


**Who is the govt or anyone else to deem what is rich and what isn't?**

I am not against teaching a child about inappropriate touching. I am against it being taught in school to a 4/5 yr old.


Super! That's why, under the law (which did not pass, BTW), you would easily have been able to "opt-out" of such education.

However you want a teacher to do the job of a parent.


Please direct me to any post where I have claimed any such thing. I have not argued - and in fact am not interested in arguing, right now - about my own personal feelings regarding sex education of children. What I've been arguing (and what I thought was the point of this thread) was what OBAMA believes, and what he believed back then, and what he advocated for (or did not). And, also, on a related note, whether that means that McCain is telling half-truths or outright lies about what Obama said or believes.

You want a teacher to talk to a child about sex education when in reality this will most likely not result in the child telling anyone if he/she is being molested.


Do you have any evidence which suggests that teaching children about inappropriate touching will LESSEN the chance that they'll tell anyone about it? Because if so, then I'd be more inclined to think it's a bad idea. But if it's just a case of children in general being reluctant to talk about it....but having the knowledge of appropriate and inappropriate touching doesn't alter that percentage, then not so much.

You think a child of 4/5 yr old can resist a molester? Talk about ideal and reality.


Huh? Who has been talking about ideal and reality? I don't think a child can physically resist a grown adult, particularly a man....but I do think that a child who is very clear about what is "OK" and what is not - however they come by that information - will be better prepared to say "no" loudly....or try to get away....or tell others. Those are ways to resist being victimized. I was not speaking of simple physical power.

I guess the whole comparison hypothetical thing slipped right by ya.


Oh, no - I got it. Which God shall we teach our children about? Ganesh? Allah? The Flying Spaghetti Monster? Or did you have some other God in mind? ;o)

It didn't pass because it was wrong to begin with. You start letting laws like that one pass, and you are opening a can of worms that you really do not want to open.


Once again, **I** haven't been arguing one way or the other, particularly. Only arguing that Obama has not been in favor of teaching five year olds about the mechanics of intercourse, birth control or STDs, as was claimed by the McCain camp.

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging
