Ah, yes. I have to say that you've got me there. I *would* have issues with those other situations you've mentioned, thus making me hypocritical in my support of Obama addressing schools. However, I would argue hypocrisy does not inherently render a particular *position* invalid, it simply...

I agree. Remember that it comes down to personal attraction as well, so it's understandable, on one level, that a straight person would find the thought of homosexual acts as repulsive, just as a homosexual person might find the thought of straight sexual acts as repulsive, simply because...

Hmm. While I agree with you in principle, I don't think that this politicisation has to be negative? If Obama speaks to the kids and inspires them and this means they have a better life, is that a bad thing? Of course, it could go either way.

The most fundamental thing wrong with your post is that I was actually referring to Ted Kennedy...but I'm willing to accept that I wasn't clear enough. But the rest of it? Honestly, do some research...

Yeah. It does beg the question of the extent to which children should be politicised.

Hey. Leave Lentern alone. He's not the one who attempts to force his views...which you'd know if you'd been reading the whole thing.

Hahaha. That was funny. And I remember 'Because I Got High' from aaaaages ago. My brother and I thought it was the funniest thing ever.

I agree with this and I like U2, Creed and The Fray.

I agree with this. Tolerance does not mean complete agreement. It means being able to live alongside someone despite the differences.

Lol.

ABC is pretty good.

I would object to eating animals such as these simply because eating them is not part of Australian culture, so it seems absolutely terrible, but, in the end, I can't really pretend that it's any worse than eating pig, cows and sheep.
