I hope she didnt take it to heart, i wasnt offended as she didnt come across as malicious just a little naive which is what you would expect from someone as young. But i do see your point Helen, sometimes ive been apprehensive about putting what i really think for fear of being shot down in flames. Sheila x

It isn't your fault if people don't agree with what you are saying Helen.you are entitled to speak out and make yourself heard ,and as long as what anyone says is not offensive ,it's tough if the odd peep is upset,you go for it Helen,you will be like a breathe of fresh air.Fred.

I do think Lucia may have taken the responses to heart somewhat last night, I hope thats not the case.

IIf you are talking of Lucia and her threads, I think that far from thrusting her opinion down anyone's throat Lucia was magnaminous in her replies and treated her opinion as a platform for debate. From what I saw of her threads they were conducted with good humour. She is entitled to her opinion as much as the next person - or are we to thrust our opinions on her? It works both ways. Mags x

Thankyou RC. i just feel that a lot of debates on here all seem to be of one oppinion and people who think differently are afraid to speak out. i am one of those!! Helen

Morning Helen and Paul! I do agree in one sense with Helen in that I am worried that poor Lucia may be feeling that she has now said something terrible. She is entitled to her own view and this may, or may not, change as she gains more experience of life. But I also agree with Paul that we have had some good debates recently without it resulting in slanging matches. I must get off this fence........I'm getting awful splinters in my bum! LOL

Sorry, disagree with you. We've had some good debates recently, with no major fallings out as far as I can tell.

i used to come on a lot but now it's seems we all have to agree with one oppinion!! and you must not go against someone elses oppinion well here are mine!! make of it what you want..... i am a smoker, and i do have human rights, i don't believe in organ donation, i have nothing against gay people, i just dont want to be gay or made to have some one elses oppinion shoved down my throat, i am married and believe in marriage, but i have nothing against anyone who chooses to live with there partners, my daughter did just that and has 2 daughters who are illigitimate but none the less are well adjusted happy girls of 17 and 11, i dont believe in euthanasia, i do believe in the death penalty for certain crimes, and in my oppinion this board should be called !! only join in if you agree with 1 oppinion. i like a good debate!!
