Weird, ain't they?

[AlanE]

Read the cutting from the Daily Mirror which says 'outrage over 'Born to Shoot' and Born to Hunt toddlers clothing etc

It seems the only people 'outraged' are LACS!! Whats with those weirdos? We all know they are fascists, but objecting to slogans on kids clothing..for chrissake, they are seriously flawed in my view.

 

[Beaufort]

I think you'll find fascists were/are rather fond of slogans, especially draped around children.

 

[AlanE]

No doubt, but so are a lot of people. Try walking down a high street. But anyone who seems to believe the wealthy anti organizations propaganda, such as yourself, without even weighing the evidence, is seriously skewed wouldn't you agree?

 

[Beaufort]

In fact I believe fascists were rather fond of indoctrinating children.

 

[Hercules]

As were communists, as are hippies, christians, muslims, jews etc etc etc

 

[Doreys_Mum]

born to hunt versus playboy bunnies...

I think LACS are barking down the wrong foxhole...

 

[Fairynuff]

I find it tasteless. Isnt there enough violence going on without labelling childrens clothes with "born to shoot" etc? Fascists indoctrinated children from the cradle-I have listened to many Italian people who grew up with it and it wasnt pleasent.Your choice of word is obviously based on ignorance of the reality. M.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

My children have toy machine guns.

 

[Fairynuff]

And I played at cowboys and indians etc. I find it tasteless to dress children to reflect a concept they no know nothing about and shouldnt be involved in.I also hate seeing tiny children with their ears pierced because "mummy" likes it. Does that make me a fascist (as was stated on the opening thread)??????????? Mairi.

 

[Beaufort]

I wouldn't dream of dressing my kids up in "I hate hunting" etc... clothes.

 

[Hercules]

Children of that age know nothing about cars, elephants, bears etc which are liberally emblazoned across all their romper suits. They are also dressed in football colours of teams which they don't know exist.

Does it really matter? No, of course it doesn't

Yep, also cowards, I remember when I was only about 10 and proudly wearing a South Herefordshire Hunt Pony Club jumper whilst shopping in Safeway, mum had said I could go and choose some sweets so off I toodled when some greasy haired, hippy (sorry, but that is truth, then you wonder why we stereotype you) started shouting abuse at me, at 10 years old do you really think thats acceptable?

Outrage? If I had kids they'd be wearing them! They'll also be out hunting by the time they're 6months...outraged at that too?

 

[Beaufort]

No I don't think it's acceptable to shout at a child like that.

I'm not outraged at CA members draping their children in pro-hunting slogans. On the other hand I personally wouldn't use my children as walking billboards for anti-hunt sentiments.

"I find it tasteless to dress children to reflect a concept they no know nothing about and shouldnt be involved in."

One of my children has full soldier gear, he even wears camoflaged under pants. He hunts deer with me and the dogs in the woods, we think it's a great game. He brings his gun and pretends to shoot animals. It's really exciting when we find one.

 

[severnmiles]

But how many of these kids are going to grow up being anti?

In a few years their beliefs will most likely be as strong as the people clothing their kids in those slogans anyway.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

One of my children is strongly anti. Which is cool.

I took another one out monitoring my local beagle pack but he hated it. Too much running around after the hounds.

''On the other hand I personally wouldn't use my children as walking billboards for anti-hunt sentiments.''

Well exercise your freedom of choice and don't. Simple isn't it?

 

[Doreys_Mum]

My nan is an anti, my dad is pro and I am pro..

However, until I started hunting, he'd never been out...

In my dads words...

"I wanted to join the college beagles, but my mum would have killed me"

Parents SHOULD have NO influence over their kids thoughts on these things, imho. My brother loves his hunting shirt, and I mine (if I knew where one of them was!!!).

But, LACS are very wrong to complain about the hunting suits when you can dress your kids in the playboy bunny. I think thats kinda sick!!!

 

[Beaufort]

Freedom of choice doesn't exist in my house when it comes to clothing the kids. The wife buys all that gear, I pay for it.

 

[Hercules]

Supressed. That explains a great deal.

 

[Doreys_Mum]

boobies.

 

[Onyxia]

One question- where can you buy them and do they come in 2/3yo size?

 

[AlanE]

Anima,CA website, go to 'shop'.

 

[Onyxia]

Thankyou!
Have some on order- should go down well wehn R starts Mums and Tots groups again :grin:

Hi Beaufort,

You said,

“I think you'll find fascists were/are rather fond of slogans, especially draped around children”


Hang on a minute chum, weren’t bigotry, ignorance, narrow mindedness, and prejudice the building blocks of Hitler’s Germany?


Cheers

Nigel

Another intolerant pro numpty.

 

[severnmiles]

Another uneducated anti....ooo I love prodding trolls!

 

[Peta]

More intolerance... more unpleasantness. England used to be such a well-mannered polite country. Hey ho...

 

[Hercules]

Brilliant. Another boring anti to contend with. Where do these retards come from?

 

[Peta]

Another goose-stepping booby.
