Taliban teaches perversion of life and self-destruction.End of argument.

Icemoon SG

Face it lah .. BOTH SIDES do not value religious harmony and human rights.

Pushy xtians irk pple .. but if your son wants to convert, you kao bei kao bu. If your muslim son wants to leave Islam, you disown him. Where is religious freedom?

my pt is .. dun sound as if non xtians are very holy liddat.

chronicles SG

What icemoon said are my sentiments

chronicles SG

I dont need to, the son's life is not my life.I just need to upbring him properly and religon is a personal decision, if he wants to be an athehist/free-thinker go ahead.

Icemoon SG

like what shade loves to say .. as long as he not doing bad things can liao. Very Happy

crazy monkey SG

if its the way sillyme describe, the parent would not be writing in.

crazy monkey SG

so if children wat to take part in dangerous sports come home late at night parent cannot stop them ?

Icemoon SG

not really.

maybe there's some mis-communication bet. the parent and student. probably the parents never went for the BB's introduction in school.

Icemoon SG

can, why not?

but the context is abt religion .. how does dangerous sports come into the pic?

crazy monkey SG

the context is the parent has control over the actions of the child.

LazerLordz SG

That fellow is considered “buay kan” IMHO.I would tell him that his son has a right to choose his own religion and if he is unhappy, he has to just accept it.

Icemoon SG

but the child has not shown to be doing something dangerous or disgraceful or embarrassing.

and pls .. he is not a child anymore. sec school liao leh .. even if cannot vote also semi-independent can think on his own feet.

crazy monkey SG

sec sch only still a kid.

Icemoon SG

tat's contradictory, isn't it? on one hand, uniform grps are training those "kids" to be independent. Do you join the Boy Brigade hoping to learn kiddy things?

the big pic is .. you cannot demonstrate becoming a xtian is something dangerous, like joining the taleban.

crazy monkey SG

i would rather the kid keep an open mind and decide when hes older and more mature. being a teenager how can you be sure that he is making an "independent" decision and not one under undue influence and peer pressure ?

Honeybunz SG

boy scout and girl guides also christian based, right?

ben1xy SG

girl brigade is

girl guide.. i dunn wor

Icemoon SG

then u go and ensure lor. Laughing

if you're so concerned as a parent, can always crash their activities and see what they are doing. No one is stopping you from going to his church, I believe.

crazy monkey SG

so its reasonable that the parent has the right to request that schools remain secular and be inform if otherwise so.

Icemoon SG

School is always secular. Methodist schools are not exactly madrasahs.

crazy monkey SG

so are methodist schools secular ?
