Oh and by the way Thomas......expletives and asterisked swear words are frowned on, as this is a family friendly forum. Just thought I would warn you in advance..in case someone has reported your posts.

In that case, I guess the whole thread should be removed.

Well, them PM one of the Mods and they will discuss it with you seeing as it was you who instigated the thread.

What sort of sick person suggests that lesbian/gay couples abuse young children?!

an ignorant bigot , he probably thinks that kids mother from Dewsbury should get a Mother of the Year award , because she is straight .

I wonder if the ad was removed because people are too stupid to see the humor? I wonder if those who see a gay couple raising children would also take seriously Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal.

It must be a slow summer for news if bs can attract so much attention

Ignorance can, and has been answered by reasoned, tolerant debate.

Margaret P is quite right.

Swearing and bad language is against forum rules.

People are entitled to their opinion, even if you disagree with it.

Personally I find intelligent argument, much more effective than churlish, foul language.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes Garinda, the kind of post I was referring to does nothing to further his cause, and once personal insults are thrown, then the argument is lost.

If HEINZ can cause all this stress then give us HELLMANS,and if you put a add on the tele,please make it so that us meer simple minded people can get the correct meaning,,,,We arnt all rocket scientists

You could try that little red triangle in the bottom left hand corner of my post instead of waiting for someone else to do it.

The same sort of sick person that is in denial that some couples in all shades of sexual persuasion abuse not just their own kids but others too.

Are you playing with half a deck today? Even for you that made very little sense.

There is a very big difference between a homosexual and a paedophile, to think they are the same thing shows you for what you really are a small minded bigot!

Yes I know your going to start whining all over again because you think I'm getting at you, but, good grief man? Where do you get your values from?

Having said all this your statement is just ambiguous enough for YOU to go into denial and say that I have got it all wrong and it's not what you meant.

[jambutty]

I think that there should be a new forum rule. One that reads something like this:-
“If any member has an opinion on a topic that differs from the majority, that member must change their opinion to fall in line with the majority.”

I have given my view on that advert and explained why I formulated it. If people don’t like that view then it’s just too bad.

That is my last word in this thread.

It's a long way from a substandard ad for Heinz's substandard products to an argument that gays are paedophiles ... I think that the prejudice was there long before the ad. Having said that, I don't think people should jump all over JB, just 'cause he is expressing his opinion, however misguided I personally think it is. And unfortunately it is an opinion held by millions of people in your country ... and just about everyone in middle America and rural Canada.
