Pro-Life campaigners shock kids into moral blackmail

According to the Guardian on Tuesday Pro-life charities are doing a UK tour of schools to encourage the belief that abortion is wrong. One girl, Rawnie Chapman-Kitchin describes how when the charity, Spuc (The Society of Protection for the Unborn Child), gave a talk at her school, they compared abortion to Nazism. Children in her class claimed after the presentation they had been converted to a pro-life way of thinking, despite some of the presentation being inaccurate about the process of abortion. Well who wouldn't be convinced when the alternative is being branded a Nazi? Pro-life charities and organisation have much better funding and support to pull off such a tour of moral enlightenment than Pro-Choice campaign groups such as EFC (Education For Choice). It would seem then that British children are not getting both sides of the argument. Schools should take responsibility for providing a balanced platform for which a child can then make an informed decision based on facts. It's not about churning out children to agree with your views. Education, especially on an issue as important like this, should be about letting children explore the debates for themselves, whether you agree with them or not.

Harry Potter trailer for film 6

aaaaaaaaaaah harry pot pot, at last those big wigs at warner brothers are doing you the justice you deserve. It took them until the fifth film to get the formula right and now the trailer for film six looks like it could be even better. It gave me frickin shivers. It looks amazing; Dumbledore's narration gets me all nervous even though i know what happens. The setting of the cave for the hufflepuff horcrux looks just how i imagined.


BUT who is this giant imposter pretending he belongs in a potions lesson? Is this meant to be Professor Slughorn? Why is he 6 feet tall, and where the frig is his lovely bushy walrus moustache? Slughorn should be almost perfectly round, red faced due to excessive drinking and have a more impressive lip wig than Hercule Poirot. Imagery is so important with harry p, they need to get it right. At least Jim Broadbent who's playing him is likeable enough. Maybe he'll be able to pull it off. Perhaps i'll be too grief stricken by having to re-live Dumbledore's death to care.
