ATTN: Vancouver B.C. - You go, girl.
Nice going, Canada. No wonder the Blackflagwheelers are such confused pricks.
Quote:
Website aimed at 'tweens' promotes homosexuality
'Kidzworld' says man-and-woman only standard is 'so last century'
A website that targets its messages to 'tweens,' which it identifies as those ages 9-14, is promoting homosexuality to those children because the idea of one-man-and-one-woman only is "so last century."
The website also is lobbying children to oppose the policy by the Boy Scouts of America against allowing homosexuals to lead troops of young boys, and advocates for the "rights" of homosexuals to adopt children.
A website spokesman declined a WND request to comment, and said the president, Allen Achilles, would be back in the Vancouver, B.C., office of the company later and would be given a message.
But the website's agenda is unabashed throughout its messages to the children:
"Isn't the most important issue to have two parents who love you? Does it really matter if a child as two mommies or two daddies?" it tells readers.
In reference to a Florida law banning homosexuals from adopting, it says, "Steve and Roger have done more than most straight people applying for adoption. They have proven their dedication, love and ability to provide a healthy and stable home for their kids. Florida should congratulate them not punish them with outdated laws and narrowminded 'tudes!"
To "molly_holly," who says her boyfriend is "gay" but "he likes me too," the website responds: "What do you mean, he's your boyfriend? Do ya mean he is your friend and he's a boy? Or do ya mean he's crushin' on ya? like he's your hottie? Cuz if this boy's gay, I think you're gonna have to get use to being his good friend. Sort of a Will and Grace set up. I hope you're cool enough to not have any issues about his sexuality, cuz homophobia (the fear of gay peeps) is so last century."
In a book review, it says: "The only difference is, this book is about Paul, a 16 year-old gay boy who has fallen in love with the new boy in town, Noah. It's really cool to have a book that portrays something other than the clich? cheerleader/football player love story?"
Regarding the Boy Scouts, whose dispute went to the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled that as a private organization the scouts are allowed to set moral standards for their leaders, the site provided a link for children to complain to the scouts, and then noted "a lot of pressure" is being put on the scouts to change.
Then the site provided a link for other volunteering opportunities that connected with a promotion for World AIDS Day.
The site's privacy disclosure notes that when children age 12 and up sign up on the website, their parents are sent an e-mail notifying them, and for children younger than 12, their parents must respond to an e-mail before they can sign up. However, signing up is not required to view any of the information, only to participate in the chat rooms and other options.
And, none of the pro-homosexual comments was found on the first page, the location most parents who actually do inspect a site would be most likely to check out, either. They were found embedded in the site as a reader follows various links.
"I don't think it's an appropriate forum (for this type of information)," Linda Klepacki, the analyst for sexual health issues for Focus on the Family, told WND, "until we get much more maturity ? at least into high school.
"There are many websites that are promoting their own morals and values ? or lack thereof," she said. "Middle school students have very little abstract thinking ability. They see something in printing on the computer and believe it's true."
She said at this age, parents need to be the primary educators on sexual issues for their own children. Such discussions are not appropriate in the context of public school classrooms, because only parents can identify the issues and influences with which a child is dealing as an individual. That is being "person-appropriate," she said.
Most kids in those years of childhood just prior to the teen years don't even fully understand the word sexuality, said Klepacki, from the Colorado Springs headquarters for the family-oriented Christian ministry.
One WND reader has raised issues about the website, noting he'd typed in "sperm how made" on Google, and the kidzworld.com came up as the first link with this:
"What Is Sperm? | Male Puberty | Sperm Production | Teen Boys ? A Kidzworld peep recently asked, ?What is sperm?? Well, we?ve got the answer ? including how these guys are made, how fast they can swim and how many come ? www.kidzworld.com/site/p1863.htm ? 26k ? Cached ? Similar pages"
"Then I started to read it! A text link near the top is worded "make a baby" wow ? this is a kids web site? Further! I clicked on 'make a baby' ? and got All About Gay Parents," he wrote.
That link started out: "First comes love, then comes marriage, and then comes the baby in the baby carriage ? or so the saying goes. But we all know that families are lot more complicated than that. Kidzworld takes a look at the issues facing gay 'rents. Gay Parents ? Where do Babies Come From?" he wrote.
"First, the obvious problem ? if nature requires sperm to fertilize an egg for a woman to become pregnant, then how do two people of the same gender have a baby? The quick answer is: with outside help.. ?" the site continued.
It also discusses adoption and surrogacy, and in response to its statements that Florida and other states make it impossible for homosexuals to adopt, "BMA," who identified herself as age 12, said, "Some people grew up thinking that if you're not heterosexual then it's a sin. But I personally think it's OK and it is a person's choice who he/she wants to be with."
"kizzy333," age 13, also said, "I'm not gay but I really dislike homophobic peeps. If two peeps of the same sex are in love, what's the harm in it? My mum's friend is a lesbian and she hasn't changed. She's a really loving parent too. It's da bomb!"
The site features advertising from HarperCollins Children's Books, the Cheetah Girls and GameBoy products, among other children's attractions.
The site, which says it has had 4.4 million unique visitors, explains it is "the ultimate in online entertainment for kids nine to 14 (a.k.a. Tweens.)" and allows that age group of children to "interact, communicate and explore the digital world" and where they can "play, discover, voice, gather and belong."
"Parents can be confident that Kidzworld is an online global community providing only positive experiences," it assures parents. And, it alleges, "Our information is appropriate for kids aged 9-14."
It also collects information such as IP addresses, name, e-mail address, age, gender, general location and personal likes and dislikes of users. "This information is used to get in touch with our members when necessary."

Re: ATTN: Vancouver B.C. - You go, girl.
They also shelter war dodgers.
US 'Soldiers of Conscience' Take Sixties Route to Canada
by Marcus Warren
Two American soldiers opposed to the war in Iraq have abandoned their units and fled to Canada in a desertion evoking the exodus of young men north of the border during the Vietnam era.
The two soldiers are seeking asylum as refugees, arguing that they face persecution for their beliefs - and in theory the death penalty - if they return.
Their decision to run may not yet herald a mass migration but no one expects the pair to be the last to abandon their units and slip across the frontier, even at the cost of becoming deserters.
"Just because you sign a contract, that doesn't mean you abdicate the right to be a moral human being," said Jeremy Hinzman, 25, a private at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, and the first of the two to reach Canada. "If you know that an order is unjust, it's your duty to disobey it."
Speaking from his new home in Toronto, he shied away from urging other servicemen to copy his example, afraid, he said, of being "seditious". But he had this message for other soldiers with moral qualms about the war in Iraq.
"They need to do what they think is right," he said. "If that means going to Canada, follow your conscience."
Already he has been joined by a second fugitive, Brandon Hughey, 18, a private who abandoned his unit the night before its deployment from Fort Hood, Texas, to the Middle East and is now living with a Quaker couple in the Ontario city of St Catharines.
"This is a war based solely on lies," Pte Hughey said. "If other soldiers feel that they cannot take part, they should talk to their superiors about it. But Canada is an option."
They both call the war in Iraq a violation of international law, a crime that overrides their duty to the army they signed up for.
Pte Hinzman had no qualms about serving in Afghanistan although he did ask his officers for a non-combat role.
They now face a difficult battle in the courts to become the first Americans to be given refugee status in Canada, although the country's ban on deporting anyone at risk of suffering the death penalty may count in their favor.
The war in Iraq has re-established Canada as a place of sanctuary for young Americans opposed to fighting in a conflict that they believe is wrong.
The generation that provided most of the manpower for the United States military in the 1960s and '70s also saw tens of thousands of young men going across the border, the majority to avoid being called up into the armed forces.
One of 60,000 Americans who fled to dodge the draft and service in Vietnam, Jeffrey House, recalls turning up at the border in 1970 and simply announcing that he wanted to live in Canada. The Canadian guards asked whether he had a "military problem" and then ushered him to one side to start a new life.
Now a Canadian citizen and a lawyer, he is overseeing Pte Hinzman's and Pte Hughey's attempts to become refugees.
"They remind me of how I felt," he said. "The idea that the Pentagon would drop me into some village and I would end up killing people was horrible."
Pte Hinzman said the "crystallizing moment" for his decision to abandon the army was hearing a radio report while in Afghanistan about the sharing out of oil revenue in post-war Iraq.
The two men may be a lonely vanguard of young people prepared to leave their comrades-in-arms, families and homeland for uncertainty in a foreign country.
But with more US soldiers dying so far this month than at any time since the toppling of Saddam Hussein and military morale suffering as tours of duty are extended, reinforcements are likely to be soon on the way

Well you can continue with your second hand opinion. Because as a Marine I do not think this is a pointless war.

Re: ATTN: Vancouver B.C. - You go, girl.
Isn't it interesting how more radical "alternative lifestyle" proponants choose to target kids who haven't developed critical thinking skills? Imagine the screaming and lawsuits if someone started a website promoting heterosexual lifestyle in a similar manner to kids? I have little patience for activitists.

Yeah I have done the missing the holidays 3 times. The wife and kids hate when I am gone but hate it more when I am gone during X-MAS that seems to be the worst. Hang in there he is with his second family celebrating the holidays but I am sure he wants to be home.

GLBLWARMR ... my brother was Viet Nam era and didn't make it back. He was a Marine tried and true ... VERY proud to be a Marine. He enlisted (not drafted .. it was what he wanted to do). He only had a few credits left before graduating from college .. but thought he could do that later. Anyways .. he was a good man. We all miss him, especially at Christmas.

GLBWARMR's comment still rings true. He has brothers and sisters both here and beyond, so he's safe.

Re: ATTN: Vancouver B.C. - You go, girl.
Damn, this old Army SOG feels strange with all you Marines around here. However, be they Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, or even Coast Guard, they are all fighting for freedom and I thank any and all of you.

Re: ATTN: Vancouver B.C. - You go, girl.
Ok let me straighten somthing out here i have great respect for anyone that is willing to serve and die for their country I have family members that have fought and died in various wars and if it came down to another world war and our freedoms were being jeoperdized i honestly believe I would have a hard time not enlisting.
But yes I do believe the whole war in iraq crap is an extremely pointless war
I will always support the troops I will never support the war
P.S. Hummers suck
