There is a gentleman who signed your guest book. I cant believe he said that Children dont know how to love. First, what planet is he from? second, what drug was he taking? Third, did he ever bother to ask one of us?

Childrene used to be judged not to feel pain, either. So they used to set broken bones with no anaesthetic, do dentistry with no anaesthetic etc etc

He is wrong, clearly wrong.

... (I guess we're talking about the entry from 'Sonny' in June 2005) but from the language he uses - 'Thee' instead of 'You' and 'Thy' instead of 'Your' - it seems likely that he is a Quaker.

Quakers have done a great deal of good for those in need over the past couple of centuries, but the sect has a strong, though antiquated, moral philosophy. It's also highly patriarchal, so that children have little or no intellectual status - in fact, the same can be true of young adults. And, as with other sects formed around the same time, Quakers seem to adhere to the general position that anything enjoyable is reprehensible.

I guess that 'Sonny' is just regurgitating his Church's position; possibly he merits pity rather than animosity. But perhaps the more interesting questions are why he has internet access without having an e-mail account, and why he found his way to this site! Perhaps, underneath, he is a fallible human after all!



For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.
