Mmm. Ice cream. But seriously though, parents should monitor what their kids watch/play. Otherwise, a kid might be influenced. And if a parent lets their kid watch the old sesame street, that is their own fault. -------------------- Don't judge a sentence until you know all the words.

Oh god! A kid might be influenced! And by something G-rated too! :rolleyes: Honestly, I think that maybe a parent should be with the child when they watch the old episodes and point out things that don't fly today, but to claim it as adult-viewership only is just insulting.

Fah. Blasted social taboos. Nalyd is flummoxed by the censorship towards nudity or sex. Just can't wrap his head around it. Gah, Nalyd's cousins have insanely protective parents. . . Won't even let them watch the freakin' Disney channel, the most chewed-up and spit-out TV out there. And they're 11 and 8.

Heh. Lenin would hate us if I didn't mention Communism ! You can just ignore us by now, Iffy. We're just touting our knowledge of different governmental systems. Nalyd can't remember the name of the one ruled by the judges.

Originally by Iffy: quote:The point of the warning is intended to help parents monitor what their kids are watching, since the old seasons are different from the current seasons and not all parents may be aware of that. Eh. The warning is ridiculous, but it's really a no-win situation. If they put in the warning, people will complain. If they don't put in the warning, people will still complain.

Old Man: Hey little girl, do you want some candy? Little Girl: Sure! Old Man: Well, come into my house for some! 40 minutes later. Old Man: Stupid Girl! Now I have blood all over my bed! And ya. Don't follow the stranger with the candy. And 24/7 watching probably isn't something good to do, but you know, I'm not a people person. And my parents trust me enough to use the internet without moderating me. -------------------- Don't judge a sentence until you know all the words.

There are towns that are still that safe. I grew up in a place where no one ever locked thier doors at night or even when you went on vacation. You could leave you lawn mower in the front of the house and no one would steal it. It was commen for kids you didn't know to play in your yard, I would go join them in thier game of cops and robbers. Basicly I am saying that there are places like that or that were like that at one time. These places they are far a few between today. We are overly cautious in what we do because others are more bold in what they do. -------------------- This is what happens when you drink Life Water: [SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1] Posts: 228 | Registered: Monday, October 21 2002 07:00 |

Winnemucca is a relatively safe town. If we don't lock the doors at night it's no big deal. However, some idiots deliberately run over all the snowmen I make. :( Here, the biggest concern to a parent is for their children not to fall in with the wrong crowd. Winnemucca has a problem with illicit drugs and under-aged drinking.

I'm torn. On one hand, I don't think I've been this disturbed by something for... quite a while. On the other hand, I know first-hand what it's like to say something incredibly stupid like that, and regret it in hindsight. Either way, both hands agree that Iffervescence needs to edit that out. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?
