The Christian conservative website WorldNetDaily has got its undies in a twist over an option that permits same-sex couples in Hasbro?s The Game of Life.

WorldNetDaily recently published a hard-hitting investigative report into Hasbro?s downloadable PC title The Game of Life, an adaptation of a board game created by Milton Bradley in 1860. A WND representative left a review on the games hosting site explaining, ?Many sections of society accept this as normative, but many also would consider this too mature a theme for children. Others would consider this downright offensive.?

According to the WND report, one unnamed ?concerned mother? found that the inclusion of same-sex marriages raised questions in her six-year old daughter that she wasn?t ready to answer. She posted a similar review containing these concerns, which was quickly deleted by an administrator for being ?inappropriate.? Her response to this censorship is where the story really jumps the shark ? ?I had no idea how insidious they were being with pushing the homosexual agenda,? she explained to WND.

It?s great when parents keep an eye on their youngsters? gaming habits, especially when they play said games with them. We understand a parent not wanting to discuss sexuality with a toddler ? what we don?t understand is how the mere inclusion of same-sex marriages in the PC version of Life is the same as endorsing, or insidiously pushing, an ?agenda.? As WND concedes, even the original Life board game allowed players to bond two same-colored (and similarly gendered) pegs in holy plastic matrimony.

That game is way more fun when you do the "grab bag" for picking your sex at the beginning and then picking your "spouse." People are too fucking uptight.

Once I was playing Life with my cousin, and her gay friend. He said "I'm going to be unconventional" as he picked a blue piece for his wife :^D

Not super funny, but it struck me as amusing :^)

As for the Christian tards... They can go to hell. Let people play a damned board game in peace, the way they want to play it :^/

A six year old is not a toddler.
And obviously the concerned parent needs to beat their child.

But only with something that won't leave a bruise.

I think parents have the right to determine when to and when not to expose their kids to sexual issues.

its not unreasonable for her to not want her child to be exposed at six years old to sexual issues. Hell, many parents dont want their children dating until they are 16.

Also, since the game of life is rated for ages 5 to adult, I dont see a problem her logic.
People who create items for young children need to stop the propoganda and issue pushing in childrens products. there is no need for "gay" Life game, "gay" sesame street, or "gay" barbie.

BS... It doesn't take that much explaining to tell your 6 year old that some people prefer the company of the same sex. 6 years old is more than old enough for this, unless you haven't done a good job of parenting up to that point.

I think anybody that tries to push that agenda to kids is fucking pyschotic and twisted. Unless you want johnny thinkings its ok to play doctor with all his buddies and none of the ladies. If you want that, DIAF>

Being gay is an issue of sexuality, not preferring "the company" of someone of the same sex. Little sally isnt gay because she prefers to play barbies with her neighbor susie, instead of her cousin Bob.

So I guess you break out the porno when explaining typical relationships to your kids? You give the correct amount of information for the proper age. This shit really isn't that difficult if have any sort of intelligence.

It's not hard to explain. At 6 years old, you tell them that some people prefer to be with the same sex. That's more than sufficient, and it'll satisfy their curiosity. As they get older, you can explain it in more detail. If someone isn't capable of discussing issues they find uncomfortable with their children, they aren't fit to be a parent.

People who constantly hide behind their children to facilitate their blatant denial of the real world or the uncomfortable fact that they must attempt to justify their prejudices to their children in a serious manner deserve pity, not sympathy.

How difficult is it to say, "some men want to marry men, and some women want to marry women?" You don't need to talk about sex at all.

Well, another person to add to my bigot list.

Thank you Sao And Techboy for chiming in on the ignorant, twisted, and bigoted side of the issue. It's always nice to see both sides represented.

when and if we cross that situation, it can and will be explained.
But until (if ever) my kids meet sally the girl with 2 moms at school, I dont need hasbro bringing that crap into my house, with their ultra liberal agenda, trying to move that event to the earliest age possible.

im fairly certain you would feel the same way if Milton Bradley jesus-fied you childs candy-Land game eh?

My kids will know about Jesus when they're 6, because it's important, just like it's important to know about homosexuality.

If you don't like the game, don't buy it. Monopoly would be a good choice for you. As for Jesus Candyland... I wouldn't buy the game and bitch at the manufacturer about it. You don't have to play Life, and I don't have to play Jesus Candyland.

Religion thrives on enforced ignorance. He's just trying to save his kid's soul from the Boogey Man, uhh... I mean the Devil.

Let's pass ignorance on to our kids! :confused:

Seriously. My parents told me I was adopted when I was 3 or 4. And they told me the truth about adoption. Sure I didn't understand some of it, but I knew I was adopted and what that was. My kids will know about stuff when it crosses that bridge, the earlier the better before they become biased by their friends, and if its at 6, then, hell, they'll learn about homosexuality when they're six. Plus, it's the game of life. It's not CandyLand. There's actually some living going on in this game.
