What incredibly rude children! Their parents should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, not only do they condone rudeness, but they also advocate lying and violence.

I suppose you could look on the bright side - it's mum and dad who are going to have to deal with the repercussions once their 'delightful' offspring become teenagers.

It's ok - better than Intense Debate which didn't work for everyone and the threaded comments are nice. I have more moderation options too!

I'd object to a patriarchal tone? Whatever makes you think that? ;-p

Actually, I agree with you - how often does that happen!? lol I do think there is a side to the internet that mirrors many aspects of socialism; the open source movement, for example. The interesting thing is, many of the people who provide something for free do go on to make a good living, often better than those who were only ever interested in financial gain.

Hi Heather :-)

I agree with you about parenting being about more than just the birth; it is, or should be, about raising well adjusted adults - and part of that process involves, in my opinion, teaching children that their mothers are human beings too, and are deserving of respect and appreciation.

My main issue was with the religious tone. I have very strong feelings about the way most religions treat women, and mothers in particular, especially the idea that service to one's family should be an end in itself, no appreciation is necessary. That attitude kept women 'in their place' for centuries, and the entrepreneurs you are helping would not even exist if it was still widely believed. In some parts of the world it is still a reality of everyday life, I wouldn't want to live in such a place, and I have a feeling you will feel the same.

Thanks for the comment! I look forward to your tweets :-)

Yes, they are. Only a couple of usable one so far (although quite a lot looking for boobs, but they're commonplace) so I'll save them up until I've got enough for a full post. Saying that, one is so random I might mention it later.

I'm not sure how he lived it down either; it's so very odd! But, thinking about it, so is he lol Really, it would have been more surprising if he'd said conventional things.

I love the idea of Snowball Fight 2.0 - that would be epic lol

I'm guessing agitators (in and out of uniform) would find them useful too - and now we posted about it, I'll be getting more visits from government depts. (Hi Guys :-) Shouldn't you be running the country not reading my blog, fascinating though it is. )

Yes it does! I am impressed and awed by your seo knowledge ;-p Being serious, I guess it will - we'll probably see lots of post titles in the form of questions. I think the personalised nature of it will make it harder to rank first for specific search terms though.

Yes, I did find the answer, it's here but, long story short, it's because you all started out as girls. Sorry.
