These are NOT Canadian values, nor are they typical of people in my province, Ontario. I am so sick of theocrats trying to push their religious dogma on the rest of us. It's especially rich that they are going on about the Two-Spirited whilst sitting on stolen Native land.

Modern Canadian values are built on pluralism not bigotry.

@YeOldeHeretic Yeah, I didn't even get into that whole "Two Spirited" discussion, or I would have had to make a whole other video...but to ignore any segment of our population because of religious dogma is beyond sickening, and not what Canada is about at all. Some people feel racism is justified by the bible, for example...can they then pull their kids out of class because they are discussing segregation or residential schools? O_o

By the way, what films were the clips from?

[BobChaos23]

@wormsto Star Trek Nemesis, Spartacus and Too Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar....oh, and for future reference, I usually include them in my Tags. =)

Listen to yourself. This video is about sexuality. You're purporting to be an "expert" with regards to how young children should be when they learn about sexuality, yet you're hardly 20, you live at home with mom and dad, and you have no children. Wakey wakey.

I back up everything I write with logic. Go through all of the comments.

You finally got one thing right, however; experience IS everything.

Now grow up.

[Ziggie1o1]

@boskinator OK, what is the deal with your obsession with my sexual experiences. It's a little bit awkward actually, but whatever. Anyways, you criticize me for not backing any of my claims, when you aren't backing up any of yours, except for your constant assertion that you have more experience than I do. Well congratulations on being alive longer, because obviously that means everything.

[boskinator]

@Ziggie1o1

Please. Are you a childhood educator? Have you studied child psychology? I bet not. You are a pothead living in mommy's basement, acting as if you have ANY real world experience. I will bet my left testicle you are a virgin.

I do have children - so do most of my friends. Please stop acting like you know what you're talking about. You're making a fool out of yourself.

You keep saying things without backing them up "because I say so, it must be true, so listen!".

You're a child.

[Ziggie1o1]

@boskinator Look, if you want to live in your fantasy world where sexuality doesn't exist before you turn 12, that's fine, but if you're going to make stupid comments, expect to get challenged.

And how could you say what's good for other people's kids either. I don't know whether you have children, but as I said in the past, it doesn't matter, and your denial of that fact doesn't change its validity.

Btw, I love how you have pothead in capital letters. Nice ad hom, dickhead.

[boskinator]

@Ziggie1o1

I didn't insult you - I stated facts. Facts that an overly sensitive, POTHEAD teen can only construe as "insults".

Having children of your own makes ALL of the difference in the world, you idiotic, naive little pissant. How could you possibly know what is good OTHER people's children? You fucking libtards make me sick 2 my stomach. I can't wait until u get out of mommy and daddy's basement and life in the REAL world kicks u in the nuts a few times.

I'm a bigot cause u say I am? LOL!

[Ziggie1o1]

@Ranokian Most Canadians think its a liberal country, but it aint. Countries like Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Belgium, and socially, Japan (although Japan is right wing economically,) are much more liberal than we are. We're about on par with the USA, we just think we're better.

[Ranokian]

@Ziggie1o1 I always thought Canada was a liberal country. Am I wrong?

[Ziggie1o1]

@boskinator Saying "no offense" before insulting someone doesn't change the message of what you're saying, man. No, I don't have children of my own, but I don't see why that should matter.

And yes, opposing sexual education for young children makes you a fucking bigot. I know you probably don't see yourself as a bigot, but you are. Deal with it. Sexual education for people before they hit puberty is not only helpful, but its essential.

[boskinator]

@Ziggie1o1

No offense, but you hardly seem old enough to actually know what you're talking about. I highly doubt you have children. When you do have some, you'll understand that an 8-year old does NOT need to learn about drag queens, gay, "two-spirited" and transgender people.

To oppose this type of education for such young children does not make me (or anyone) a homophobe or a bigot. However, "free-thinker's" and liberals love to jump down the throat of anyone who dares speak up. Enough P.C.

[Ziggie1o1]

@boskinator And no, I don't believe Grade 3 is too early. If you had said kindergarten, yeah, maybe that's a little bit to early, but I think 8-9 year olds are mature enough to understand what sexuality is. Maybe I have too much faith in our youngest generation, but thats what I believe.
