You asked "How would you feel if you had a child that was born with HIV because you'd gambled that the odds of having it are low of it not having it?" Women over 40 having children are doing so at significant more risk to the unborn child than a women in her 20's - I'm not telling you anything you dont already know. I think that the comparison is clear and obvious. So, seeing as I've drawn you the picture maybe you could answer the question?

What about women over 40, would you suggest they shouldn't get pregnant too due to the risks involved?

Amen brother. Couldn't have put it better myself.

Church attendances are on the increase. Mainly thanks to our Polish cousins who have recently come to these shores and those who want their children to attend a catholic school.

Hey, start your own thread.. Are you a royal subject pap?

Well, is it? Your starter for ten. I don't self-identify as a royal subject and don't attend street parties. My family probably would self-identify as loyal to the Queen, but barring the big events ( wedding, jubilee ) don't get the flags or bunting out either.

The point I was attemping to make, all be it badly, is that although you rightly profess to not owning your childrens thoughts or beliefs you are greenlighting the roman catholic faith to your children by agreeing for them to be educated by these establishments. Not that I think you are doing anything wrong...

Speaking as a father myself, I think you'd raise your opinion of your children attending a RC school if you thought it was not in their best interest.

Second point doesn't stack up I'm afraid, although I agree that Liverpool is in all probability more catholic than Southampton, it's ratio of Catholic schools to non-Catholic schools is 1 in 4, not 1 in 2. *This is Secondary schools, not primary but it should still equate to the same

Do your children go to a RC school? If so, why?

Really wish I had time to get into this... a couple of points.. Your practicing friends would be more likely to turn to God in times of thanksgiving as well as during tough times, for their sake I hope the former far outweighs the latter. Not sure why you think a Bishop is not capable of representing the nation on modern moral issues, in fact the counter argument is all too obvious, particularly when you consider their counterparts in the HoL.

Like gold, frankinsense and myrrh?

Really?? Feels weird agreeing with Turkish to a certain extent but to say Christianity plays little part in this country's day to day life is a little bit blind.

I think religion is all over it, as without there being a Christian faith there would be no Christmas. If you choose to ignore it's origins then that is your choice.

FFS What is with all the debate?? I've had enough. You can stick this thread up your ar5e.

No. You and your merry bedwetters will moan about him when you think he's done something bad.

Do you wake up with a smelly finger? Just wonderin' like..

Hang your head in shame

Welcome to the Happy Clappers

I bumped into Chas and Dave from Chas 'n' Dave... I was a bit late with my Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit

Huge fanbase?? Do you also have a ginormous 5" nob?

Got a feeling Mojo has returned from his winter break, he put in a good shift on Saturday and I'm hoping Clean-Sheet can make it two games on the trot. Bubble Blowers 0 Saints 2 Come on!!

Good signing for Oxford. I too am shocked he's only 25.

It wasn't an attack, more a statement of my opinion.

Indeed. You're a troll and this nonsense should be locked up. Perfectly summises this thread. I could go on to say that this place was all the better for your defection to the ugly site. Maybe I'm just stating the bleeding obvious though.
