It's funny reading the comments because it seems that with unschooling, you're either all for it 100%, or you have absolutely no tolerance for it. Myself, I know that unless they ask me to go, there's no way I'm sending my future kids to school.

why does everybody always question people as a member of society and rank them as if being a doctor or a police officer makes you so much better than everybody else. The fact of the matter is the way our society is set up is messed up and those who will stand to try to change it are the only ones to be held to esteem. All that really matters is that you are happy and healthy. Why are people so set in their ways that they can never try to understand where others are coming from?

@Freethinker45 well I thought you are...how sad :) I am a bit too young to have kids, those are my little sisters fyi...I didnt know that it was logged in at home, I dont have psychic powers as well. I am afraid you sounds as young as they are, perhaps you are older than me, too bad no one can tell. When people reply they should have a reasonable argument, dont you think? well it never happens; I believe they shouldn't waste their time on people like that nor should I.

[Freethinker45]

@LexieDeaves With all due respect sir/ma'am: first, there was NO way for me to know your daughter's age, unfortunately I don't have any sort of psychic powers; second, if someone posts a comment (especially criticizing a video), it's expected to get a reply by someone else with a counter-argument; third, I wasn't trying to "outsmart" anyone: it was your "curious" child who kept replying and finally, I REALLY think that, as a parent, you should pay more attention to what your children do...!

[LexieDeaves]

@Freethinker45 sadly, it seems that you might need to... Is there a particular reason why you were arguing with a 9 and 10 years old girls? Isn't there something better that you could do? Maybe something that doesn't involve trying to outsmart two kids?They cant reply, I have restricted their access to my youtube account. If you still have an urge to argue than maybe you should find someone who isn't going to make a fool out of you. I wont bother reading all the comments!

@LexieDeaves ...forever and ever until the end of time....BUT he loves you xD (makes perfect sense)! You should spend more time researching and start using Logic, Reason and Critical Thinking so that you see the bigger picture...but that's your business not mine! I believe you when you say your nine-year-old sister gets the way you think: there's not much to "think" about your thinking. Finally, check your grammar and spelling, they suck big time ;-)

[Freethinker45]

@LexieDeaves ...we disagree! I don't recall criticizing your religious beliefs (whichever they are) despite the fact that believing in an "invisible being" who/that lives somewhere in the sky and watches everything you do every minute of every day and also has a list of (ten) things He/It does not want you to do, and IF you do ANY of these, He/It has a special place for you full of fire, smoke, burning, torture and anguish where He/It will send you to live and suffer, burn, choke, scream, cry...

[Freethinker45]

@LexieDeaves Tsk,tsk,tsk...you never cease to amaze me! Ok kid, first of all, the fact that someone had ONE boring conversation with you doesn't make YOU a boring person, so your argument is flawed. Second, I thought you were only arrogant and naive but you are also irrational: I don't have to "keep up with" the way you think, even though I understand your position; I just don't share your views: That simple! Part of being mature is respecting others' beliefs and/or views no matter how much...

[LexieDeaves]

@Freethinker45 Saying that someone has made an ignorant claim, is the same as calling that person "ignorant. I am neither arrogant nor naive,trust me. Well, sorry you can't keep up with the way I think. Atheist- to discard all religious believes; no god, no religion(sounds pretty ignorant to me. :P) Its sad how you cant understand the way I think, even my 9 years old sister get it...this is fun :D sry cant help it

[Freethinker45]

@LexieDeaves ..."heredities" came up in the discussion (won't even bother to ask)! As a freethinker (atheist to be precise) I'm very familiar with Theology, Philosophy and of course Science but I don't go around rubbing it on people's faces, especially when it's NOT the topic in question! Anyway, keep researching but stop trying to be a smartass....you'll just make an ass out of yourself!

[Freethinker45]

@LexieDeaves Oh boy/girl, sorry if I hurt your ego; first of all, I did NOT call YOU ignorant (although when it comes to Unschooling you obviously are). I said you made an "ignorant claim". However, there's nothing wrong about being "ignorant": I'm pretty ignorant about Quantum Mechanics for instance; it's not my area of expertise! Now, from your comment "I am never ignorant" I can only say you're just too arrogant and naive! I don't know why your so-called knowledge of "religions" and...
