I really have no bias toward one or the other, homeschooled or not, but there are plenty of bad things about both. Parents can drop the ball in homeschooling and the kids learn nothing, parents trying to "protect" their kids by not letting them go off to school, and that most homeschooled kids don't really have anyone else to compare themselves to as much as highschool.
At least in my case, highschool was pretty close to how college is. People still act like idiots, they still have their cliques, and all that jazz. I don't think a lot of homeschooled kids get the school-setting social interaction that they need to, and that may be partly the parents' fault.
Also, I think it's good for kids to be around other people in an academic setting to see where they compare academically to other people. If a kid is praised for his intelligence when he's homeschooled and popular among his group of friends, then sent off to college and finds out he's average, he's not gonna be very happy. There's not as much of a sense of rejection or hostility towards homeschooled kids a lot of the time like in highschool because you only hang around your friends, not a bunch of people you don't like.
Homeschooling just seems like sugar-coating adolesence.

You see Warhead, some of us actually think of other things too on occasion. Cause some of us (like me) happen to beleive that there's a God out there (Where do you think beer came from?), and he said:Warhead wrote:Question: The School Dance is a right of passage for most pupils at some point so how are you expected to bust your cherry when your home schooled? I'm all in favour of shagging your moms but I don't think it a good idea to hit on your own mom. Sooo, we must be talking virgin territory here, right? Jeeze! You home schoolers must be gagging for it by now...

Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Haha!
Do as I say not as I do, huh? Or have you god botherers and bible blubberers forgotten about Joseph and Mary?.. I know my bible. I used to teach it. Now just try to cogitate on that fact.
Iz been Trollin' homeschoolies. Wow, socially inept and frustrated. That's a Columbine Cocktail of repression right there.

I remember that, it was right before He said to melt down your gold and make graven cherubim to worship. And then to go out and slaughter all the neighboring countries and take their wives and daughters for yourselves as slaves. That guy was full of good advice, and didn't constantly contradict His own ten commandments at all.Coximind wrote:You see Warhead, some of us actually think of other things too on occasion.

Flipping around this mishmash novel at random, He's also the guy who not only tells you to kill anyone who preaches a religion other than yours, but anyone who even lives in the same city as someone who preaches a religion other than yours (Deut 13). So.... the entire city-dwelling population of the earth, as far as I can tell. I like this guy!
So once you're done taking care of that murdering everyone who lives thing, then you can come back and tell me about how noble and superior you are about not getting laid.
In a more serious vein, the commandment to not commit adultery is largely misinterpreted by Puritans and their descendants to mean anything from thinking lewd thoughts to wearing the wrong socks. In fact, it was very specific: adultery was the act of sleeping with another man's wife, because in the Middle Eastern culture of the time, a man's wife was his property and therefore you were committing an act of theft.
In fact, there are TONS of examples in the old testament where biblical heroes are going around snuggling and fornicating without a second thought, and it's presented as virtuous behavior. Sometimes they even go on to marry the girls, or are at least kind enough to make them household slaves. As far as the ten commandments are concerned, it's only the theft of another man's wife that God frowns on, everything else is A-OK.
(Some of the other kinky stuff is listed under "abominations," which is the same level of badness as eating shrimp or shaving your beard, but that's a different conversation.)

....Not quite. Joseph didn't *do* anything, IYKWIM. God created the proper stuff (in the same manner as He did the rest of the universe so long ago) and put it into Mary's womb. God didn't *do* anything either in that sense.Warhead wrote:Thou shalt not commit adultery.

The vein of thought in the Catholic church today (which is what I am) is very different. If any "catholic" or even "trianglist" says otherwise, they are WRONG. They are not really Catholic or trianglist, though they might like to think so. But that's a long and complex matter, and not one I'd really like to talk about, especially not here. But I take my religion VERY seriously, and I'm not going to watch you dumbasses mock it!stubby wrote:In a more serious vein, the commandment to not commit adultery is largely misinterpreted by Puritans and their descendants to mean anything from thinking lewd thoughts to wearing the wrong socks.

We're not mocking it. You brought it up in the first place, and a passage that is among others that many people in your religion seem to just ignore nonetheless. If you're so serious about your religion, you better be ready to have the facts straight enough to be able to converse with someone else about it in a thoughtful manner.
2. Having differing opinions and talking about them does not constitute an argument.

Whilst I have nothing but respect for the Space Vikings, I feel their brand of burn, pillage and loot lacks slightly in the boom subcategory of the burn portion.
I can find a picture of Warhead wearing a pretty pink dress if I so desire. Does this mean it actually occured? I'll let you be the judge Warhead...

And just to make sure this isn't just a picture of the Missus, I've procured a photo of her for comparison...

And a lovely lady she is, too...
