No, that's an awful message! <br /><br />'Let's face it, subjecting a child to physical contact (eg a hug, lap sitting etc) by a well meaning adult is guaranteed to leave them emotionally scarred.'<br /><br />No it's not! If anything, many children are emotionally scarred because they DON'T receive a hug now and then from their parents or anyone else! <br /><br />'That way they will grow up to be well balanced, emotionally mature adults!'<br /><br />Really? I should have thought quite the opposite is likely to be the case. Is it not more likely that this lack of affection will leave many children emotionally scarred?Lord opf Atlantisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-79381924072625906032011-11-28T13:54:28.581+00:002011-11-28T13:54:28.581+00:00@ Tonk

He is using his position that he cannot be made redundant from to make ill-informed speeches about the Global credit crisis, before going home to his palace that cannot be repossessed.<br /><br />If he can’t give a flying fuck about the very core of his religion being censored in such a way, then why should anyone else?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-89333110016816178612011-11-28T12:31:24.791+00:002011-11-28T12:31:24.791+00:00Even my Catholic Church is calling the Christmas B...Even my Catholic Church is calling the Christmas Bazaar the Chrisdingle event.
