I'm not sure 'aggressive' is the right word to be thrown about in posts, it gives a negative aspect to the whole discussion.

The whole reason for debates like these is to give different points of view, and at the end of the day, some peoples minds may change with valid arguments. I know mine has on occasion.

Is this not what freedom of speech is about?

What a load of c*ck. How is the way Less answered you in any different to the way you disagreed with Bernie a page earlier??

Less and I have disagreed on topics many a time, but in no way have I ever felt bullied or scared, or even taken his opinion personally.

Its a discussion forum. The clue is in the name

Not much different to the Roy Cropper/Hayley story on Corrie ..:D

Even if it isn't, I don't feel any disapproval whatsoever for this couple. Mother Nature is still allowing this to happen (with the interference of artificial insemination of course) .. so if she says OK, then so do I.

I have no issue with transexuals either, 'tis a biological mishap that some people are not truly born male/female either physically and mentally and just because we only see the outer frame, how can we be so judgemental.

Don't think very shortly that this type of situation will be such a big deal in the school yard .. doubt whether bullying will be paramount, just curious questions by other children. Gosh, not long since children of single parents were considered 'unusual' and now completely accepted.

Just look at all the relationships now, with people marrying twice/thrice and lots of varying fathers/mothers in one family .. how difficult is that for any child ! Can't see that this case will be much different.

P.S. Will somebody tell me what a Turkey Baster is ? :confused:
