Using the Bible as an excuse for bigotry

Don't worry about it, do you have dyslexia? Our middle daughter who has a Mensa level intelligence has dyslexia as does her younger son, but she still got her degree. Her lad, who is 16 next month, is going to study electrical engineering. 

Although I have never been tested for it, I think I have dyscalculia, which is a problem with maths. I have never got to grips with the subject, even though I had maths tutors throughout my childhood. Thank goodness for calculators, or I would be really stuffed when checking our bank accounts as I do on a daily basis.

It used to worry me in the long distant past, it just get annoyed with myself now more than anything else.

It's irksome the spelling where I can't even get close enough for spell checker to know what I'm looking for.

I go to google for a lot of my stuff the spell checker wont pick up or, say a word begins with 'M' I'm looking for I then go to my O E D the shorter version start at the beginning of the m's and keep running through until I come to the word I'm looking for, fortunately I'm a really fast reader at least I've not had any significant trouble with that.

Oh yes I can be spelling a word without any trouble one day and have trouble with the same word the next day or time.

All this and my Mensa score is 275, difficult to believe I know.

Regards, ippy.

WOW! However, I am not surprised you have always come over as intelligent.

On having read quiet a few of Spuds contributions to this thread and remembering that the last government survey I saw indicated that 53% of the U K's population were now non-religious, so now when reading Spud like posts I look forward to seeing the results of the next survey where the non-religious have been in the ascendancy of the numbers game for some years now, which is giving the more rational among us a bonus of knowing those with regressive Spud like views are a dying breed and good riddance to them, the sooner the better.

And why's that a problem?  Numerous studies have shown that there's no significant impact on children of gay couples compared to children of straight couples, whilst there's a notable impact on children of divorced or separated parents, especially those who end up being raised by a single parent.  Th

Gay adoption became legal in 2002. In 2018 there were 450, the highest of any year. Suppose there were up to 10,000 since 2002. Most of those are too soon to tell how they are affected. That leaves a fairly small sample compared with the numerous children of divorced and single parents.

Not really, because gay parents adopting someone else's child isn't the only way gay couples get to raise children; sometimes, people who were in straight relationships have children, then leave those relationships and raise the children in a gay relationship... no adoption involved!!!

That's been happening since about the dawn of time...

Often one of the couple in a gay relationship is the biological parent of the child they are bringing up, by using a sperm donor, or a woman as a surrogate using their sperm.

Well o great one who was not present when sense of humours were handed out. I think you got the wrong end of the stick. If you are going for a home insemination you should no more not use fine ceramics  than serve up a great darjeeling  in a novelty blue mug marked "frae bonny Scotland".

I mentioned Clarice cliff because if you are going to have a home insemination then surely to goodness it is special occassion. And what do you do on a special occasion. That’s right.......You get the best China out. It doesn’t matter what your sexuality is.
