Not the show's fault, it's a cartoon for crap's sake. DX TV is public and is very, VERY easily regulated in the home. Get a schedule, don't allow TV you think your kids shouldn't watch. The parents obviously didn't care what the kids watched on the electronic babysitter.
A tragic accident, but really the fault of no one. No one has to be held accountable for that. :/ Probably looking for someone to sue. rolleyes

QFE. 3nodding
The television is too "dangerous" now not to know what your children are watching. Cartoon Network has produced a few cartoons I would even call harmful to the mental development of young children - acceptable for an older crowd, but on a little too early in the evening for my tastes.
I probably wouldn't let a kid under the age of 12 watch Naruto in the first place, because of the morals put into practice by the show - none of them are necessarily immoral but some are just a little too heavy for a younger audience.
Commercials pose a lot of irritation for me as well. I'm thinking that it will be much worse by the time I have a child, and will therefore have to record shows I think my child will enjoy and watch them ahead of time so I know when to fastforward.

You know what, I've thought the same thing a lot of times. I see commercials like... that Burger King commercial!!! Why the hell does a commercial for a KIDS MEAL have all these hooched up women dancing in tight clothes provacatively? I mean, sure, there's like a phone book in their shorts, but still. razz TIVO is good for the recording thing though. But then again there's also the issue of being too protective of kids. razz SO HERE'S SOME NEWS: NEWS

That Burger King commercial with Sir Mix-A-Lot? Yeah, it irritated me as well. xp I heard a few kids singing it outside the other day, and it pissed me off because seven year old girls have no business shaking their butt around singing about it unless they're calling their best friend a "smellybuttface."
I'm not too worried about sheltering my kid since even if I place them in a private school, their peers will no doubt introduce all the evils of the world to them anyway. xd I used to come home singing "Jack and Jill went up the hill to smoke some marijuana; Jack got high and Jill said *rock hips* do you WANNA?" in third grade. I'm sure it will be MUCH worse in five to ten years. xp
...Banana. o__o;; Well. That kid is. Uh. Special. sweatdrop xd I wonder if he did it to be jailed on purpose? Perhaps he's in trouble with a gang, failed all of his classes, or is dealing with abuse at home - it just seems like he HAD to have wanted to get caught...

So has anyone been keeping up with the missing jet story?
They found some plane debris after searching, which finally confirms that the plane did indeed go down. I had been hoping it would just turn up on an unknown island to be honest - one of those once-in-a-decade miracle stories. Instead, they've just made plane disaster history. neutral It's very tragic.
The bizarre thing is that though there were violent storms, officials keep insisting they couldn't have been enough to bring down the plane. "There really had to be a succession of extraordinary events to be able to explain this situation." So what the ******** happened?

365 Gay "The mayor of this West Texas sheep ranching town [San Angelo] offered a stunning explanation when he suddenly resigned: He was in love with a man who was an illegal immigrant and had gone to Mexico. They had to move, he said, because there was no legal way for them to remain together in the United States. 'It wasn't a decision that any U.S. citizen should have to make,' former Mayor J.W. Lown said in an interview from Mexico. 'I left a home. I left a ranch. I left a promising political career.' [...] The 1996 Defense of Marriage Act prevents immigration officials from recognizing gay marriages, even from states where they are now legal."
Depressing much? Christ.

So, there was a shooting in DC, at the Holocaust Museum . . . days before I am going to be there. A little worrisome.
But seriously . . . this guy, apparently he just opened fire in here because he was really against Jewish people. :/ I read in the paper that he also blamed them for the bad economy and he hated how much attention the Holocaust got. Makes you remember that racism is definitely here to stay.

@Naz: It's disgusting... I don't really know what to say about... S'the same s**t with gays being able to adopt.
Any random ******** can have a kid, get state aid and be a complete s**t parent... But if a f*****t or dyke want to adopt a child they can't because they could hurt the kid.
Any random immigrant can get married into the country, as long as it's to the opposite sex, and they don't even have to be in love!! ^^

Racism and political homophobia.. We still have a long way to go, America. Not that I'm not thrilled with how far we've already come, even in just the last ten years..
