Now I only go on occasionally to keep a check on me mother! Hello Mammy! (CazBeckham) but has anyone noticed that they have a section called "Take it outside" with the most absurd and horrible things on????

There is a poll to say "would you keep your child if you ....."....you can guess the rest cant you????

Not really the sort of thing on an Aussie forum is it? It made me mad! Am i just being oversensitive?

Hi Jo, i dont think your being over sensitive. The site is full of sarcasm and negitivity, so when someting like that appears it cant be taken lightheartedly, its not a nice subject, and it may really offend someone........or really anything that there should be a poll about!!! it has nothing to do with OZ, i cant understand why....
I mean, who would want to start it or vote in it??!!!!

Posted and awaiting reaction! I am so mad! Takes a lot to get me riled up usually (CazBeckham - Mum will vouch for that!) but that I thought was distasteful and really disrespectful to anyone who had gone through that.

Hi Jo

Distasteful & Disrespectful sounds like BE in general

I saw your post best duck for cover Totally agree with you what a thing to put on a Oz forum. They do need to get a life

Jo,

I have never been on that forum, but was intrigued what it was that could have got you so riled up (not seen a post from you before like that) so I had a look at the Poll you are talking about..............all I can can is two things:

1. Good for you and well said
2. Thank god for PIO!!

I have to say that I have not registered for the site and they would probably be doing you favour if you did get chucked off!



Heather

Thanks Heather! Takes a lot to get me going! I had always kept an open mind about BE even after hearing what others have said. Like I said....just checking on me mother when I go on there!

Thanks mate!

THANK GOD FOR PIO!! I second that!
