[QUOTE=bravehat;27604984]It just seems to be how america handles minorities, it was probably the same with blacks after the whole slavery business. Either way, it'll help so there's no point complaining.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=bravehat;27604674]WAit, this costs 35,000 dollars? That's it? My god, why the fuck are people moaning, this is a flash in the pan.[/QUOTE] this is britain not the usa
I could understand if they added it to the Citizenship/the equivalent curriculum or something, but this seems a little...over the top if you will, maths using gays, really...If Billy has sex with another man, but admires women, express in ratio form how gay he is.
This isn't necessary.
Look at these people!! Look!! They're [highlight]GAY[/highlight]!! They have sex differently then other people, LOOK AT THEM! btw ur supposed to tolerate them, after you solve this GAY (which is ok!!!) equation!!

Instead of "Bob and his wife Alice are trying to calculate such-and-such" it would occasionally be "Bob and his husband Steve are trying to determine whatever". They're not gunning for having every page be printed on rainbow paper.
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;27605045]this is britain not the usa[/QUOTE] Arite, still 35000 pounds, that ain't shit. And here I thought we were cool with gays and the like. Ah well whatever floats the governments boat.
[QUOTE=bravehat;27603769] 2. I couldn't give a flying fuck about morals, they're obsolete and are used as excuses to often, they're a cancer of humanity and they need to be destroyed, instead everyone should live life like a hedonist, seeking happiness for themselves and those around them and fighting to reduce suffering for themselves and those they love.[/QUOTE] Why reduce other people's suffering if they don't give me anything?
[QUOTE=Mingebox;27605574]Why reduce other people's suffering if they don't give me anything?[/QUOTE] Hedonism extends to the pleasure of others as well as yourself, by that rule you reduce suffering. Plus it's nice to be nice.
What a waste of money.
[QUOTE=bravehat;27605591]Hedonism extends to the pleasure of others as well as yourself, by that rule you reduce suffering. Plus it's nice to be nice.[/QUOTE] But I can gain even more pleasure at the expense of others.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;27605635]But I can gain even more pleasure at the expense of others.[/QUOTE] Then feel free to exercise your sadism and not be a hedonist. Problem?
[QUOTE=bravehat;27605669]Then feel free to exercise your sadism and not be a hedonist. Problem?[/QUOTE] Point is you can't abolish morals, because even something as universal as it being "wrong" to rape and kill is a moralistic. In fact, it being "wrong" to force your morals on others is itself a moral view.

Either way not a fuck was given and I'll continue living my hedonistic life eating grapes while lying on a roman sofa and bathing in my own excellence.
This is what I think. Whatever goes on in the bedroom between any 2 consenting adults is no business of the state. YOU DON'T NEED TO CELEBRATE IF YOU WANT TO BE A WOMAN OR FUCK MEN THAT IS A WASTE OF MONEY JUST KEEP IT TO THE BEDROOM AND STOP IT. When they bring this to class, I will just laugh as loudly as I can and walk out the class saying that I have lost faith in the government.
I frankly don't see how homosexuality is relevant to those topics, and how anyone in school could take them seriously.
[QUOTE=Brage Nyman;27595436]Homosexual people are to good for our straight classes. Hell, why not give them Homo toilets, homo cars and homo homes while we are at it.[/QUOTE] -snip-
[QUOTE=Random94;27610689]Give the Homosexuals a country Then realize it has the highest amount of AIDS infections[/QUOTE] Don't they already have California? :v:
[QUOTE=Habsburg;27595588]Do you really need a straight history month?[/QUOTE] Of course we do, after all the discrimination we've faced from homosexuals and blacks and homosexual blacks throughout the years.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;27595690]No it doesn't lol x history month serves to educate the population about civil rights issues and x culture since they most likely would not learn about these things otherwise saying it's causing more segregation is like saying breast cancer awareness month makes it harder to cure breast cancer[/QUOTE] It doesn't help blur and fade the lines between black and white. It reinforces them, further separating the races. Really Zeke, your comparing race to a terminal illness, that's just blatantly ridiculous.
This is stupid, as much as I support gay rights, why do kids need to be learning about homosexuality in math class?
[QUOTE=nigfops;27611720]This is stupid, as much as I support gay rights, why do kids need to be learning about homosexuality in math class?[/QUOTE] That's not what is happening and by this point if you still think that, you are frankly a gigantic idiot. For maths classes, all that is happening is that scenarios that involve LGBT people will be in word problems.

[editline] ... [/editline] also the OP talks about staging class discussions about same sex marriages during science class, thats wasting class time that could be spent actually learning something.
I'm all for encouraging people to accept homosexuals and curb discrimination, but this seems pretty stupid. It's making homosexuals into "the other" and pointing them out as different. It also is a waste of time for class where they could be teaching stuff that is relevant to the subject, I mean teaching regular sex education would be a waste of time in maths for example. I think that children should be taught about homosexuals just as they are taught about hetrosexual relationships, such as in sex ed.

Why is it always about sex with you people? Being gay doesn't [I]just[/I] mean you like to have sex with someone of the same gender, same as being straight doesn't [I]just[/I] mean you like to fuck someone of the opposite gender.
why do we need a month that says they're different from us? can we have an "everything year" instead
Adding homosexual themes to maths is stupid, but in things like history and geography, explaining people's attitudes to it over time or explaining why they're moving from the countryside to cities should be part of a well balanced curriculum, not for PC reasons but because it's interesting.
I'm all for marriage/sexual equality, but this is blowing it way out of proportion.

The only thing that annoys me about this is it is going to take up time that could be spent learning more important things. When I look back at elementary school I feel like I spent as much time learning about racial equality and the dangers of smoking as I did math, science, and reading. Even though I got what they were saying the first fucking time they said it, they just had to repeat it over and over, for hours and hours year after year. I'm afraid this is going to add to the list of obvious shit that schools will spend hours hammering into the heads of our children. Its up to the parents to give their children good morals/values and teach them this type of shit, its up to the schools to teach the required material. [editline]... [/editline] Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with them teaching this where its ACTUALLY RELEVANT like say, covering the gay rights movement in history class, or teaching about different sexualities in health class, just not in math or science.
[QUOTE=Random94;27610689]Give the Homosexuals a country Then realize it has the highest amount of AIDS infections[/QUOTE] If this was "give blacks a country, realize it has the highest amount of criminals" you'd have been banned by now mods what the fuck are you doing
