Proposition about a new subforum for children
November 11, 2011 at 8:39 am
Hey guys
Was talking to my son about the Pokemon thread and he was very enthusiastic about talking to other atheist children ;
Proposition is ....would it be possible to have a "Children Only Sub forum" (with Parental supervision of course) on this Forum so that our kids can talk to each other??
Benefits are that we could have our kids realise the globalness of their 'belief system', discuss their feelings and share the gaming and other info that we do??
Just a thought; what do you think??
thanks for reading

My son loved the idea of talking to Aleialoura's kids about Pokemon and the general concept of talking to kids world wide. His group of friends (all on the Autistic continuum) are atheistic in their world view and would love somewhere to have their views validated and questioned

The problem I for see is that I tend to go for the todays posts and that pops up random posts so hat I wouldnt see what area they came from. This means that people could use inappropriate language without knowing they were in he kiddy zone. Could some sort of language filter be fitted to that zone only?

Wouldn't want to hurt their delicate earbones. Are my children the only ones who proudly work dirty words into any sentence they can get away with?
(I can't shake the notion that corraling "atheist children" into a subforum would be providing the wolves with a juicier target than ourselves. Who wants Statler having a discussion with their children, or GC?)

I would like to see Stat and GC get owned by some children though.

I think it's a nice idea Kichi
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
