You asked- "Tell me about instances of suicides caused by the inclusion of LGBT material in school curricula."

Nip, let's try this once again. You have obviously misunderstood the focus of the title... It was referring to suicides of gays, not straight kids... That title was chosen due to Ian's "opinion" and concern that it was gay kids who were being driven to suicide and the reason they were, was due to inadequate or a lack of homosexual teaching in the schools... He his "opinion" is that all children must be taught, even if it's against their parent's wishes, about merits and normalcy of the homosexual and the homosexual lifestyle... When I said "it's no wonder," that's my own personal "opinion" of why some gay kids may consider or God forbid, choose that route.. My "opinion" was formed after spending considerable time researching this so called "required teaching" that young children were being subjected to. And again I will say, it's no wonder these poor kids are choosing to leave this world... God only knows what else they are being exposed to in their own homes!

I suggested The Stupids because they put their garbage on the curb and someone takes it away - they spend the movie trying to track down this miscreant.

I like your wife - I too imbue inanimate objects with personality; how else could I live alone?

Hey, Nips,

What do you know/hear about RJ's death? I've never heard the poison story. I know all the stories, (but the last one) I heard about Sam Cooke turned out to be hooey, though... sigh.
