Mercy Now by Mary Gaulthier My father could use a little mercy now The fruits of his labor Fall and rot slowly on the ground His work is almost over It won't be long and he won't be around I love my father, and he could use some mercy now My brother could use a little mercy now He's a stranger to f...

Hey Megan, From what I can gather you truly have the best interests of the child at heart. You believe that being placed in a same sex adoptive partnership leaves the child open to all kinds of descrimination, ridicule and teasing at school and outwith school. You feel that this is particularly trau...

Clearly, it would have been better if the parents had not died. Clearly, it would be worse for the child, if they were placed in an orphanage, or with adoptive parents who were homophobic - causing a breach with their surviving family. The need for adoption is, by definition, a sub-optimal situatio...

If you are gay I can understand that you might dismiss such views as prejudice ... and not saying you are of course! For the record, and I don't consider this relevant, I am not gay. And of course your view is valid and considered. I don't doubt that. However, I disagree with you. Let me give you a...

The logical conclusion of this argument is that no member of any group in society that is discriminated against should be able to foster, in case the child is bullied. That excludes pretty much everybody! Gay, bi, fat, ginger, not white, disabled, too short, too tall, too thin, not clever enough, t...

Although I must admit, I have made great improvements. At least now I don't put the ***** on a pedastal as much as I used to when I was younger. Now, when I see a good looking woman, I think of her as a normal human being like you or I who just happens to have a body that I feel instinctually attra...

Hey, I lost my virginity when I was 24. It wasn't based on morality, just never found someone I wanted to sleep with. I thought I would be a spinster virgin forever and had issues about it. Anyhow, the bloke I eventually slept with later became my husband and I really value the fact that he is the o...

Ok Rad, I have read your 'I'm tired thread'.... However, I see that I'm regularly told that I'm "wrong" ...and I can see why you find some ironic and possibly angry humour in my reply. It appears that many of the traits you have described which frustrate, undermine and make you angry, were...

Hey Rad, I don't think I made myself clear enough in my response. For me it is not a case of telling people they are wrong, indeed I seldom believe that other people are wrong. I strongly value evryones right to their opinion and perspective and am usually interested to hear and learn from it. Howev...

Thanks guys, I also think that you are 'allowed' to make your own interpretation. If it makes sense of how you feel, if it helps you to feel stronger/clearer about things, about your past, about your present, about your personality, then I think that makes it a valid explanation. RR, thank you for y...

Hey Rad, Thanks for replying.... May I just clarify: you're feeling guity, and you're wondering why? Or that you think you feel guity, or think that you should feel guilty? To answer your question: I don't think I should feel guilty about my brothers death and I don't even know if, as a child, I fel...

Hi all, I am slowly coming to the conclusion that a lot of what I have struggled with stems from overwhelming feelings of responsibility and guilt (leading to anxiety and depression). I do wonder however, if I sometimes intropsectively analyse till I come to a conclusion which makes sense yet is com...

Land Down Under by Men At Work (a personal juke box favourite!!) Traveling in a fried-out combie On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said, "Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plun...
