Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand - Part 3

I think you can get out of a subscription pretty easily, just surprised there are so many issues. I mean it'll take you two years until you finish the thing, let alone that it's $2k.

The aim is to get you started and who wants something unfinished. Anyway like I said most people won’t realise what it’s cost them

Interesting views on justice from all sorts of people on the internet.

Is the "parents in the wrong" the worst saying ever? Half of the time the little campaigners lie about what they're doing. Or am I blind coz I hate the campaigner across the road who I want to rek even though he's like 10 years younger than I am

 

[Feraligatr]

I don't understand the Royal family.

I think too often people just assume a shit kid isn't being disciplined because they think childrens minds are like sponges and all you have to do is wack them and they will get the message.... They don't seem to realise kids still have minds of their own and won't always respond the same way to discipline.

Well you would hope if they are as young as is being suggested then yes eve parent is responsible BUT without knowing all the circumstances there could be a perfectly good reason he tried to open the door (don’t ask me for one because I’ve no clue what that could be)

The guy is copping abuse from some mothers on there but he did reveal that he was a security guard in that area and had 'seen it all' from those kids so you have to think he has a point.

People are incredibly tough in Facebook comments. On our local page some woman was saying how she and her 3 year old daughter were the victim of road rage from a big tattooed guy in a ute. She was going to chase him down to teach him some manners but she wanted to behave like an adult. Um, yeah right.

Council members seriously need to learn that they are not as important as they think they are.

Meh typical news.com.au and sunrise style outrage piece

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Garbage if true.

All for shops and the like stopping labelling toys "boys toys" and "girls toys" same with books.

But banning books from distingushing between girls and boys? come on.

I have a 4 year old nephew who is slightly developmentally delayed and still struggles with distinguishing girls and boys. Imagine what confusion this would cause for kids like him?

If posters blow a gasket over this shit no wonder they can't understand nuance in criminal law when an ambo gets beat up.

I don't understand, is the information in the article wrong? or should people just not react at all to anything?

 

[Firestarter]

... I don't understand what you think is the connection Bomber.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

This lady put it perfectly:

Billie Deborah Chin wrote: “Banning the availability of anything, or taking choice away, is definitely the wrong way to go about making classrooms gender neutral. It should be about making everything available to everyone.”

completely unrelated issues

whats the nuance of criminal law involved in the Ambo case? They put a get out of jail clause in the mandatory sentencing law, it was used, the government didn't like how it was used and wants to tighten up the clause

I know a few emergency services people including Ambos and they are up in arms over that issue, don't really care if a few sunrise viewers or herald sun readers get upset about a council they don't live in thinking about removing certain books from the library or local kindergarten

Almost certainly. This is classic modern click bait; take an academic article, misunderstand its point, run it through the Sunrise filter, add Twitter comments, cue outrage.

Just from the article I was able to glean (probably accidentally) that the research was about trying to avoid pushing boys and girls into narrow roles based on their gender i.e. Don't tell them boys must play with trucks and girls with Barbies. I'd bet London to a brick there's no mention of eliminating the actual terms boy and girl (just boys and girls toys).

How about just letting kids like what the want to like? My kid loves playing with her cars and superheros, but she also loves playing with her dolls, or pretending to run a shop. Why do people need to **** with things.

 

[Scotland]

'Your' 'kid' and 'her' toys.

Such possessive, ageist, gendered language...

Is she allowed to play with your toys?
