I've long held the belief that you were'nt bright. This just confirms it. Don't throw around terms like political correctness when you don't understand them, nor comment on free speech when you clearly don't understand it.

There is a difference between what adults who are technically able to make decisions for themselves should be allowed to do, versus 8 year olds having behaviour condoned that they don't fully understand or appreciate IMO. The parents were wrong to allow it as were the teachers who allowed it to continue.

I'm with Yoss.

I knew we would have to agree on something sooner or later. Well put.

How is the view from up in that ivory tower ?

The exact thing I've been saying since the start of this. Ridiculous that anyone would think otherwise or try to wrap it up in a free speech/political correctness argument.

So you guys like this ? or are you in the wrong thread ?

I know and I agree it isn't.

I chuckled at it intially, and still do. It doesn't really piss me off either. Maybe we need a new emotion type thread.

How's the view from the cheap seat in not engaging in the substance of the argument, much like Mike.

I just thought I would type something so I could queue up for my go at getting insulted.

You bet. I like arguing. It's fun.

[WBennett]

I think they like debating.

[WBennett]

Yoss likes the Liberal Party and everything they stand for.
Just likes civil liberties.

Gees 3, keep up!

Also I only like Tony Abbott because he is a good Catholic boy. Get it right benno!

If Mike was insulted by that, then he has a very thin skin. He is perfectly able to contact me or the mods to get it deleted and an apology. But please feel free to tap dance around issues to ensure that everyone likes you, plenty do it. And to make sure you understand the relevance to me I have a daughter in prep at a Catholic school and if the Principal and Teachers allowed this behaviour at my school then they would want be prepared to stand from under.

I like boobs

It has absolutely nothing to do with freedom of speech, expression or political correctness. The 8 year old is expressing nothing, he is simply dressing up as a character from a book. Unfortnately, is this case, he might be a vehicle to express the parents feelings.

Dressing your child up as a person the was responsible for the death of 6 million Jews is unaccpetable. It could be the first real experience that these children would have with Hitler and it would portray him in a positive way, which is something that should never occur. I'd be piseed if my little ones came home chanting Hitler.

As for the devil, who cares? There is a big line between fiction and reality.

[macjackass]

I like boobs

mmmm....

[Yossarian]

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled...

[PeteyD]

All boobs. Big and small, fake and all.

Spot on JC

[PeteyD]

Would there be this much outcry if he was dressed as Stalin?

[Yossarian]

Probably not, but there should be. The commie left did a good propaganda job with Uncle Joe. It also helps to win World Wars.
