I told them all semester (I came into the school as a special recruit in the middle of the year) and right off, I told them that I was like no other teacher they'd ever had in their lives or ever would have in the future. I explained to them that I was about issues and AGENDAS. They all wanted an example of each, so I told them in our class we would be discussing all sides of all topics thus creating an ISSUE.
Then I asked the class: "Has ANYBODY in all your 12 years in the public schools EVER told you anything GOOD about GUNS?" Not one hand went up. I told them: "THAT'S AN AGENDA." Then I said: "Okay, has anybody in all your 12 years in the public schools EVER told you anything BAD about the UNITED NATIONS?"
Again, not a single hand and suddenly a LOT of understanding expressions. I continued: "THAT is an AGENDA. It means that somebody somewhere didn't give you BOTH or ALL sides of the story. Maybe out of love and the best of intentions and maybe not. But it removed your free will to DECIDE on your own about the things that affect your life. And it's okay even if you agree with the AGENDA as long as you arrive at that conclusion after seeing all sides and bouncing that off your values and beliefs."
In Ireland and the uk, we have no guns. all guns are banned.
I'm not afraid to walk the streets. But people do get robbed, or worse, by gangs or loan criminals. Last autumn, for example, a man out walking at night in central London, in a popular tourist spot, was beaten to death by a gang of teenagers. And one of my housemates was mugged within about 100 yards of our home (fortunately not injured).We are not afraid to walk the streets or feel the need to carry weapons to 'save our families' this is because in the 6 in 1 million chance that some one did break into our homes, we would be safe in the knowlage that they too, would not be armed.
If guns are illegal and also very hard to get then not even petty criminals can get one, so if someone has a gun they are arrested immediatly and there is no harm done.
If there are guns lying around the house your children are at a huge risk. kids are curious, if you say 'NEVER touch that' they arnt listening. or at least they eventually stop listening.
The guns I have used have only ever been used for making holes in paper. There are people who post on this forum who have used a gun for defense. The idea that most guns are used for killing just doesn't fit the statistics.guns are rarely used for protecting anything. only for killing.
if you have a gun then your attack will too, it just depends whose fastest, and hes the one with no moral consience. isn't it better to have the time to run or call the police then have blood on your hands or pumping from the fresh hole in your chest?
fidel castro's cuba is doing fine.
there might have been hope for ho chi mihn's system if you hasnt go involved.
You can't get good chinese takeout in China and cuban cigars are rationed in Cuba. That's all you need to know about communism. -P.J. O'Rourke

iapetus - from a fellow (EX!) Brit - good post.
A small caveat to add - inspired by a guy on another board, who teaches.
He tells his kids about ''issues'' and ''agendas''. Let me quote what he wrote - he says it well IMO ...
You may ... but, as others have commented, it's unlikely.i may have seen, heard and thought a lot more then some of you in my short life.
Excellent! Nicely done. Brian.(Quotation of profane personal attacks deleted.
