Simply not right ( IMHO ) .
No problem with peoples sexuality ( I never have had ) , this is 2018 not 1918 !
But a child growing up asking the same sex the parents " Where do babies come from "
Sorry , simply not right .
When I was a kid we were warned who the kiddy fiddlers and gluies were and used to take the piss out of them. I'd go off the head if I found related to me doing thatI’d say some, maybe.
But many are genuinely concerned for their kid’s safety. Trying to keep them safe from the kids whose parents don’t give a **** what they do.
And, ****ing *****s too, of course, are another worry. Not something that was thought about much when I was a kid.

Not when I was young.
Wrong place, wrong time you’d get a shoeing. But now, they’d just stick a knife in you.
Not sure about this one mate
In the 70's I saw more knives than I have since.
It was a different time but I was chased by skinheads either knives and chains etc even in the 80's. No one has pulled a knife on my kids as yet (thank God)
I do believe that when an issue becomes a "thing" it exaggerates things. There are plenty of examples ranging from lgbt to head scarf ban to knife crime imo
London is another world, mate.
Half these kids will stick a knife in you as soon as look at you.

First question that comes to mind....is if it is as bad as you elude to, why buy a property there?
Why's it not right?
You have a same sex couple, we will say two females in this example. They have a baby. Child asks where did i come from....same place as every other baby surely!?
Created the same.
Born the same.
The only difference....
It wasn't via some drunken romp of a one night stand as is the case with some hetrosexual couples and was probably more thought through and planned as future parents.
I never said that. I'm challenging the psychology of adult thinking and how that affects our children from a very early age.
Yeah I appreciate that. I worked in community safety a while back and I found two things.
Firstly the Dynamics of gang culture (mainly drugs) has changed. From being a money making thing to not really fussed about money but more about lifestyle
Secondly I honestly believe when the media latch on to something the issue becomes bigger than it actually is.
I bought it 30 years ago. The area is pretty safe. But there’s plenty that ain’t so safe.
Well there is that also.
Anyone got an opinion on gay couples adopting?
I think no matter how we try to skin this cat..the bottom line is, genetically males and females are two different animals...and it's all designed for pro reaction and for the long term survival of the human species. Even in nature it's the same...the male will always be bigger, for example from the female of its species...the voices are deeper etc etc.
It's also human nature to be corrupt...so then we are either violent men or not violent men....thems the choices we make.We don't have to try to phase out the Hetrosexual man from society in order to teach them that killing is not right. Men don't have to be gay to possess feelings of love and compassion and trying to force feed them into becoming affeminate thinkers by introducing this phrase 'gender neautral'. For me, in the long run this will create a massive puffy ***** society which will introduce its own perversions in society.
We all try to be well balanced but I doubt there is one man on here who would want to walk down the road with his own son if the guy fancied wearing a skidt and high heels for the day.

So is the docklands less safe or Brixton than it was 30 years ago?
Which areas are we referring to?
This one is a weird one for me.
In principle I have no issue with anyone adopting a kid. God knows there is enough kids needing a stable life
My issue is with why they want to adopt. And this is as much for Angelina Jolie as it is for Elton John.
When adopting kids becomes a "rights" issue then is it about the kid? Orphan kids got enough problems
They did NOT have a Baby , they GOT a Baby .
Tell the Baby that's How his / her parents acquired it , and see what happens when he / she is in their teens and the hormones start kicking in …..
It’s not just a matter of being safe. It’s safe from what?
30-40-50 years ago, you’d get a kicking if you put yourself about in the wrong area or you were in the wrong place, or said the wrong thing.
Nowadays, you’re playing with your life!..
