Jozef, RE: "gay marriage.. But as a parent, I say "But keep it away from my kid"" I sure hope you don't have this attitude against gay people? Would you tell your kid to ignore a gay child in school? Do you think that is "good morals"? RE: "Viagra" (from your other post) Agree TV commercials are annoying. I don't own a TV and never bought one. As an fyi, in the USA "biology" education ("birds and the bees") starts around 7 years old. So you may want to talk to your daughter before the schools do, I wouldn't recommend letting them do your work for you. As far as viagra goes, I would just say something clinical like guys that take viagra may have a blood flow problem so should have their hearts checked out. Age 7 is the transition years. You word is golden right now. My friends that are immigrant parents are stunned over the influence of the American culture - how their kid's friends actually carry more weight than parents. When I was a child, my 2nd oldest brother told me that drinking alcohol is very bad for people (he listed out the medical risks as well as behavior risks), and because he did this when I was so young under 8 years old (maybe 7), it left a permanent impression on me. And I'm glad he did this. Because it provided protection from the pervasive drinking culture in the USA. I noticed parents that shared their opinions on this when their kids were as old as 11, generally were too late to have much of an influence on the kids. What was probably also convincing to me, was probably how my brother just didn't drink - he said he didn't like the taste of it and saw no reason to kill his brain cells. These reasons sounded very logical to me and still do. Though each to their own. Regards, Amy J
