tab1 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Actually, the post I put earlier in which I mentioned the satalite dishes, they actually do face south east so I wasnt pulling anyones plonker when I told them to face that direction. Not that it makes any bit of difference to this topic but I just wanted to clear that bit up Th satellite example is actually quite a good one and I admit I didn't know that or never linked it to prayer direction, maybe just never needed to.

Halibut Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The unfortunate inclusion of the word "black" in these things is something that they cannot fully explain satisfactorily. Why is the word black being included 'unfortunate'? Do you have a problem with blacks or something? The MOBO's celebrates music of black origin - meaning a style of music that originated in black America. Black and white artists are celebrated. Problem? I can't see one. I already explained the Black Police Association, so no problem there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoddyHolder Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Which awards are you talking about? If you mean the MOBO's you're barking up the wrong tree*, and the Black Police Association is open to whites and exists to support black cops in what's been a traditionally very white institution with a history of racism. * The clue is in the name - and if you're going to tell me that rock 'n' roll and all that followed were invented by white men, you're off your rocker! The first rock and roll record is credited as Rocket 88 by Ike Turner in 1951 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I suggest giving them a decent education and letting them make their own minds up? My folks had religious differences and that's what they did. I was taken to church quite a lot but was never told what I should believe, and independent thinking and learning was encouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reply appreciated... So that i can suggest my friend. ________________ Techstore are specialists in a range of Wedding Stationery Services. I had an athiest mother and a Catholic father. I went to mass every Sunday and Catholic school and my mum was cool with that. It was a bit confusing when I discovered my mum would not go to heaven for her views and at the age of about 7 a bit scary but I think it helped me to develop my own ideas about things. Don't think the combination did me any harm and actaully allowed me to have choices about my ideas and values. I have mates in a similar mixed marraige. I think willingness on the part of the wider family to compromise and accept (in the end) probably helped them a lot. The kids know some about one parent's faith and some festivals but they also have a very "western" take on life as they have grown up in Sheff. They have a lot of contact with both sides of the family and have visted both countries of origin of their parents. I imagine if they have a strong relationship and supportive family around them they can work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
