I've never seen the series but I'm yet to hear any positives on it. Fingers crossed these films don't go the way of some of the Stephen King adaptations!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-28314742251639138902011-08-16T12:56:22.407+10:002011-08-16T12:56:22.407+10:00I'm not sure how it is over with you but in Au...I'm not sure how it is over with you but in Australia we have a growing problem with these "opinion writers". Because they're hired for their opinions and not as journalists they don't have to have any validity to what they say but because it's in a paper there are people who still take it as truth. <br /><br />I try to stay away from these people because they make my blood boil with their ridiculous views but when I saw twitter explode over this one I had to check it out. I completely agree with your rant, the line she drew between "fatherless" youths in the UK and the child of a same sex couple is insane and her ideas of family and control are completely archaic. It makes my head bleed. I hope you didn't read the comments under her article, some of them literally made me go blind with anger!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-6180049592688297952011-08-16T07:12:40.832+10:002011-08-16T07:12:40.832+10:00OH MY GOD, Can I just say what is wrong with Miran...OH MY GOD, Can I just say what is wrong with Miranda Devine?! I mean, first of all fathers are the only parents who have any authority? And all the kids who were rioting last week were the children of same sex couples I suppose? And same-sex marriage is wrong because... I don't know, she doesn't like it?! And this sentence makes me literally want to puke: 'But the fact is the fathers of those children are probably long gone. There are no "parents" to take charge and exert control over their wayward children.' Hello, are we back in the fifties?<br /><br />I know you know all this... it just felt good to have a rant! hehe.<br /><br />ps I hope The Stand films are better than the tv miniseries, because that is really not very good... and yay for a new King book (even though it makes my challenge even longer... but oh well lol!)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.com
