It's a childrens book - Fictional - not real... >Hence why there is a fiction section in most public libraries - for books which have no influence on reality whatsoever. The only time problems arise is when people get so "enthusiastic" about fictional books that they believe things like that are true. Yes kids start going round thinking they have magic powers etc. The books are a thinly disguised doorway into the occult. I shall do a little more research and post back. |

| 155210 | 2003-06-26 10:53:00 | Hah! One to two hours of homework a night is pathetic. I do pretty much the same subjects as you, go to the same school, have the same expectations from all the same lousy staff (well, there are some good ones), with the exception of two subjects, and I spend far longer on my homework. Like, three hours with a concentrated effort. Longer if I get sidetracked. I would also like to blame the teacher I had in year seven - the bugger had me under so much pressure that it has left a lasting effect on my attitude torwards doing work. |

| 155211 | 2003-06-26 11:15:00 | 1 (observer.guardian.co.uk) 2 (www.surfinthespirit.com) 3 (www.surfinthespirit.com) Interesting quotes: "Increasing numbers of children are spending hours alone browsing the internet in search of Satanic websites and we are concerned that nobody is monitoring this growing fascination,' he added." Read what a 10-year old child wrote: "I was eager to get to Hogwarts first because I like what they learned there and I want to be a witch." Gioia Bishop, age 10. [1]" "Murder, blood sacrifice, body mutilation, violence, revenge, death, bodily and demonic possession, divination, witchcraft, evil charms, consulting with familiar spirits, magic, hexes and curses, wizardry, necromancy, spell casting, sorcery, ghosts, and new age doctrine. These are only a few of the dark satanic themes communicated from cover to cover in the popular children's book series Harry Potter." Other Actual Occult Practices found in harry potter books: Curses and counter-curses (Philosopher`s Stone, p. 62; Goblet of Fire, pp. 187-194; ). Astrology, Fortune telling (Philosopher`s Stone, pp. 188-190; Prisoner of Azkaban, p. 45, 47; Goblet of Fire, pp. 116-117). Rune stones (Prisoner of Azkaban, p. 45, 47). Palmistry, Divination, Crystal ball gazing, Tea leaf reading, Auras. (Prisoner of Azkaban, pp. 45; 79-86). Arithmancy (a Chaldean and Greek method of divination by numbers) (Prisoner of Azkaban, pp. 45; 79-86; Goblet of Fire, p. 171). Charms, Incantations (Prisoner of Azkaban, p. 176). Numerology (Prisoner of Azkaban, p. 232). So there you have it. Harry potter is fiction, but it has evil material that is directly associated with occultic things. Continue reading these books if you want to become a satan worshipper. |

False statistic. It is impossible to get the age group of people browsing websites. Ask IDG - they will be unable to tell you whether 45-50 year old males browse PressF1 more than 45-50 year old females. All they can do is say "well we have so many registered users, these are their statistics", and even then that doesn't work, as there are plenty of people directed to this site from Google, and for all we know, they could be a 12 year old American kid. > "I was eager to get to Hogwarts first because I like what they learned > there and I want to be a witch." Wow.. I wanted to attend vetinarian college because i used to want to be a vet... Also, kids used to want to be the "Power Rangers" when I was at primary (so, so long ago :p)... Doesn't mean anything. If you were to talk to that same kid in 2 to 5 years time, that answer would definately have changed. > "Murder, blood sacrifice, body mutilation, violence, revenge, death, bodily > and demonic possession, divination, witchcraft, evil charms, consulting > with familiar spirits, magic, hexes and curses, wizardry, necromancy, spell > casting, sorcery, ghosts, and new age doctrine.

Welcome to Hollywood - you aren't complaining about "The Exorcist", or other such like movies. > Curses and counter-curses What do you expect from a witches school? How to be a loving wife? Sex Ed? > Astrology, Fortune telling So? People tell fortunes these days - look in the herald for your star signs > Palmistry, Divination, Crystal ball gazing, Tea leaf reading, Auras. Most circus' will have this as well as an attraction... You've also forgotten these links: observer.guardian.co.uk - 'I stayed up all night. It's a beast of a book, a real page-turner' I'm too tired to find some more links at the moment, but I'm sure I could in the morning, or someone might do the job for me Agent Wrote: > One to two hours of homework a night is pathetic. My point is proven. Students are having little lives left. Infact the only non fictious thing about Harry Potter in relation to life is the lengths of times he stays up to finish homework and assignments. As enjoyable as saving the world is from the scourges of evil, there is just no time to do it. > I do pretty much the same subjects as you, go to the same school, have > the same expectations from all the same lousy staff (well, there are some > good ones), with the exception of two subjects, and I spend far longer > on my homework. Like, three hours with a concentrated effort. Longer if I > get sidetracked. Come on, not all the staff are bad - there are a few good ones, Ubels, McMurdoch, Henry (bloody good teacher in my opinion), White (seems to be loosing her touch a bit though). Then you get the average teachers, and finally you get the 1 or 2 teachers that give you the impression that they've been smoking something, and well, that's it... I wouldn't just blame the school either. It constantly surprises me how ignorant our Board of Trustees is of the schools workings. Here they are, the leaders of the school, and they have no idea whatsoever what goes on at it. Really, what's the purpose of new buildings when the current ones need renovations? And the egalitarianistic attendance policies are stupid also. Really. The school is only punishing those who are on the wrong side for the right reasons, and letting the wrong ones walk. That's not justice, it's a goddamn malevolent dictatorship that is too stupid to realize what is happening... By the way, where did we get sidetracked to discussing our school on PF1? CyberChuck |

| 155213 | 2003-06-26 11:54:00 | Mr McMurdoch is not a teacher. According to www.dictionary.com, a "teacher" (a noun) is: "One who teaches or instructs; one whose business or occupation is to instruct others; an instructor; a tutor" I do not call instructing pupils to do work from the text book teaching. Mr McMurdoch is reminiscent of one of my friends science teachers, and my mothers former science teacher. For my friend, their physics teacher tells them to do the excercises from certain chapters each day. Sometimes the set work actually takes two periods to do, sometimes it takes five minutes. He does not actually teach them, they teach themselves. The same went for my mother's science teacher, every day they would copy from the book, and when a school inspector came around, they would do the same experiment they did the last time an inspector came around. Mr McMurdoch is paid to teach his classes. As Head of Faculty in mathematics, he chooses to take the top classes. In the opinion of some, this is so he does not have to teach them, they can teach themselves, and ask him for help when they run into problems. I can tell you all (not that most of you would care), the principal of my school is going to get a revelation this coming Tuesday. My parents, to be precise, will be meeting with him to talk about certain bad aspects of the school. And if Mr McMurdoch decides to do nothing, or starts doing what I would consider picking on me, I have every right to take the matter to higher authorities, which could have numerous bad outcomes - most likely for Mr McMurdoch. |

| 155216 | 2003-06-29 20:43:00 | Yep! You don't end up working through your holidays, and your weekends are free to do whatever you want. You shouldn't have to bring your work home with you and finish it then. A 40 hour week isn't that bad either - 8 hours per day spanned evenly across the 5 days in the week. CyberChuck |
