TONY EASTLEY: As you bite into your chocolate Easter eggs this weekend, spare a thought for the exploited children and trafficked labour used in the cocoa industry.

As it is, only three per cent of the global chocolate supply is ethically certified to have been harvested without the use of child or trafficked labour.

A new report released today by World Vision says a small levy on chocolate sales could put an end to the nasty side of the industry.

Typical whiney world-view. As the pasty-faced happy people of the west have a piece of cholocate, the pasty faced unhappy people pop up with some gripe about how third-worlders exploit their own children.

As a matter of fact, only three percent of hamburgers are not served by children in Australia. The little brutes have to be turned away as there are more of them wanting a job than there are jobs. Ruthless exploitation and trafficking (mum picking them up after their shift) is too good for them.

Like what, I posted someone else's opinion in the opening post and supplied the link. I have not put what I think.

If you must know, I think the truth probably lies somewhere in between the opening post and the candy coated religious concoction of Jesus' life. I think a drug habit, a homosexual tendency, or any other attributes of a person has no relevance in God's eye.

Good to know Christians have not lost contact with Jesus' teaching ... let he who has not sinned, through the first stone !!!

Well I'm just learning. I've only been a Christian for 34 minutes, but as far as quoting somebody elses opinion is concerned, it's a cinch. Just type what you really want to say into Google and you'll easily find somebody else that said it. You can then hide behind that opinion, and say "hey guys I was just quoting somebody else's opinion!"

So if it was my opinion, what is offensive about thinking Jesus could of been a drug user and/or a bisexual?

As far as I am aware, the candy coated christian version is just a guess considering the men that decided on Jesus' character and tendencies have ulterior motives and never new him personally.

Well I know that Herod was a transvestite (I saw Jesus Christ Superstar)

My opinion: its all a load of fictional rubbish anyway, and if someone wants to say a load of stuff about a fictional character, that means diddly squat to me.

Why would I care about someone rubbishing Alice in wonderland or Jesus who are both fictional characters.

No credible person beleives Jesus is fictional. And why should you care? It's this whole PRINCIPLE of respecting others deeply-held beliefs. If you dont understand that then you are the loser here. When you refuse to accept others rights to personal beliefs and to respect them then it is you who loses out because when someone violates YOUR beliefs you have nothing to complain about. And besides that it is simply the mark of civility to respect others beliefs.

What a stupid and nasty topic!

Did you expect anything different from greeny?

No .. not really Mr Wesley.

But some of us live in the hope that people CAN change for the better.

Still waiting ... what is stupid and nasty about the topic?

You are abusive of the beliefs of other people, this is arogant, rude, and obnoxious, to name a few of the best points of the topic. Treat others as you`d like to be treated.

Why just one son since she could create this Planet Earth, the universe, and the human race. Did she run out of steam ... or was this an example to Christians : The One Child Policy ?

And that could be the purpose of this sort of game we are currently playing ... we forget most of it all so we can appreciate eternal life after we pretend to die.

And what's your take on deliberately slurring the character of a man held in great reverence by hundreds of millions of people?

No. Totally wrong. Wrong colour. Jesus was almost certainly not caucasian. More like this, according to Dr Mark Goodacre, who reconstructed contemporaries from skulls etc.

In fact it looks quite similar to this early Christian Icon:

I wonder how that flies with the "Race and IQ" brigade. Wink
