The Homosexuality Discussion Thread

It's a simple misunderstanding, I actually thought you meant 4th year of college so whatever. Ignore the fact some respond in that way as they have nothing useful to say about your experience.

So why didn't you just say "Grade 12" or "Senior" year?

English isn't my native tongue, so if there is something wrong or badly written, please tel me.

I actually thought i wrote this in the first post.
Anyway, it was the 4th grade of high school people, not elementary.
Though i don't know why would anyone make a joke out of it.

That's a huge difference. Like we're supposed to just guess what you mean...

Surprisingly, school year numbering systems are not the same across the entire globe. My school had Lower First, First, Upper First, Second, Third, Fourth, Upper Fourth, Fifth, Upper Fifth, Sixth (I) and Sixth (II). The first four (1L-2) were in junior/lower school, the next five (3-5U) were in senior school and the two 6s were what used to be called higher, college or sixth form

I think he's explained sufficiently that his school system is similar and has a 4th year in senior school, which in our school system would roughly correspond to 14/15 year olds. Not sure we need to keep raking over it.

Exactly. I had no idea before.

Is there any logical reason why they made your school have such a confusing system?

It was a private school.

Which neatly takes us back to homosexuality

 

[squadops]

Oh dear, it really does

BTW, I think it was husker that said the school system is already teaching tolerance and etc. so why does the system need an extra tax levy to specifically address one problem? Also, the bad apples, don't we just reprimand them the same as any other trouble maker, I don't see the need for the special treatment tbh.

He just said 4th grade. Which for us Americans means 8-9 year old's. Just asking for a little clarification in the original post is all.

It's the same for Croatia, which makes it rather confusing indeed.

Primary education

Croatian elementary education consists of eight years, and is compulsory. Children begin school at the age of 6 or 7.[4]

• 1st through 4th grade, being taught by one teacher per class that teaches every subject with the exception of foreign languages and Religion, with subjects such as Croatian, mathematics, visual art (likovna kultura), nature and society (priroda i društvo), physical education, music education, and at least one foreign language (usually English, usually in the 1st grade and compulsory in the 4th grade). Religious education is an elective subject, and students can choose among Catholic, Orthodox and Islamic religious classes. The students stay in one classroom for the 4 years.

Anyways, the incident just proves that idiot bigots are an international problem.

 

[citroengt1]

I'm sorry i forgot to post it in the first post.I thought i wrote it.

But you guys could have correct me first, since i did say that if i had any mistakes written that you should report it to me.Instead you make fun of the post and completely disregard the event that i described.

 

[dylansan]

Sorry if I came across as making fun. I knew I was missing something but I wasn't sure where the disconnect was. Your other post made it sound like they were 9 years old.

 

[LeMansAid]

That was quite an ugly read to be honest.

"America is the world". How about not giving any more ammunition to that jibe?

 

[CodeRedR51]

"America is the world".

That's not what I am saying. In fact, what I am saying is America is NOT the world, we don't use the same terms and when we see "4th grade" we instantly see young kids. I wasn't making fun of anyone. I just wanted clarification. Hence why my first post right after @citroengt1 ended with a question mark.

 

[squadops]

Let's keep raking it over then shall we?

 

[citroengt1]

Alright, we cleared everything.
Back on topic,before the almighty admin comes along.

Something tells me that this anti-homophobic bullying problem is not being funded by a specific extra tax, what are you trying to say here? A new government programme being taxpayer-funded doesn't necessarily mean the creation of new taxes and levies.

 

[squadops]

Just read prisonmonkey's post

 

[DK]

Just read prisonmonkey's post

He just says it's "taxpayer-funded", nothing about a new tax being charged to fund this. You even said:

If we need a social program to help with these type of issues I'd suggest to separate it from the school system, and use funding not from that system.

...so the funding for this program is probably coming from the education budget.

 

[squadops]

Oh, you do not know how it works maybe, existing funds? no no

Unless money grows on trees over there, the money eventually comes out of taxpayers pockets one way or the other. Whether it's new tax revenue or taking from existing programs it's all the same thing to the people paying the bills in the end.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Whether it's new tax revenue or taking from existing programs it's all the same thing to the people paying the bills in the end.

And the people paying the bills don't care. The criticism has only come from the hard-right of the government.

 

[squadops]

Wrong, I pay taxes and I mind.

 

[Daniel]

Wrong, I pay taxes and I mind.

I can respect that. I'm hazarding a guess that you wouldn't want this support system taxpayer funded because it's an unnecessarily cost in your eyes? (Rather than because it's supporting homosexuality?)

 

[squadops]

Precisely that 👍

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Wrong, I pay taxes and I mind.

You're paying taxes in Australia?

 

[squadops]

Nope.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Nope.

So ... you're objecting to an Australian government programme on the grounds that you're a taxpayer even though you're not an Australian taxpayer and thus have absolutely no say whatsoever on how our taxes are spent?

LGBT School Students? Hey I remember one from my school like 2 years ago...

To respond to the Original Post, I don't really care about whatever he's LGBT or not. as longs as I don't get involved with anything related to that. He's/She's doing his/her thing, I don't had to do anything with that. I might have a different believings but it doesn't mean I will go far away to someone and complain & freak out why he's/she's this or that.

and besides, we have far worse problems to deal with like school shooting, wars...etc

 

[squadops]

Keep it in your house then I suppose, the topic is broader don't ya think?

That didn't make much sense to me... keep what in his house?

 

[squadops]

Really?
