What the poo is wrong with the US dubbed DIC Sailor Moon? Hellz, The Lion King is more violent than Sailor Moon!
I am not a rabid censorer either. I mean, I won't let my kids watch some things, but I mostly let them watch whatever they like. I grew up in a household where the TV was censored... as in I was 15 years old and wasn't allowed to watch MTV (old school MTV, before it turned into "Hoochie Dance Marathon")!

XD Ah, the days when MTV actually played *GASP* music videos!
I have never understood the beef some parents have with the DIC version of Sailor Moon. I'd hate to see what they would do if they saw the unedited version with the swearing, panty shots and the few homosexual relationships/romances. xd
I don't believe in censoring TV to that extent and won't do it with my own children.

Well, like I said, they were REALLY religious. Like fanatical. The lady was a June cleaver type, everything in all the cupboards was macrobiotic as well (I never understood the whole fat free mayo but Tuna in Oil thing but eh).
So she had a problem with the evil, and the "Destroying" the bad guys. As far as I'm concerned, Sailor Moon never fights hand to hand and like kicks the crap out of people most of the time it's magic, (Which she also had a problem with). She had a problem with Hercules, because of the Gods and Goddesses and not wanting to explain to her kids the different religions that existed etc.

Pretty whacked out. I let my oldest watch Sailor Moon (dubbed or subbed, although he has no clue what they're saying in the subbed--he still seems to enjoy it)... I'm also pretty religious... I go to a very conservative Christian church. It really bothers me when people are like that; rather than taking the effort to explain their religion in a little depth they try to completely shelter their kids from the rest of the world... as if you can actually prevent them from being touched by anything else... It really gives a lot of us (Christians, especially us conservative ones) a bad name.

Kasumi, that is really cool of you and you just raised my opinion of that group. It's nice to see someone that thinks and doesn't freak out.
I just spent two hours cleaning my kitchen, one of which was scrubbing my oven and stove. eek My shoulder hurts from the effort I just put into cleaning it. (I realized today that we have just over two months before we should be moving out and thought it best to get a head start on the super yucky jobs so they'll be easier when it's time to go.) Do you think it would have killed the tenents before us to actually clean the inside of the oven or for the complex to do it?

Dude, Manda as someone who cleans apartments after people get evicted and like TRASH a place. The new Easy Off Lemon fresh no fumes is AWESOME. It doesn't smell bad AT ALL no heavy smell, it smells like pledge. AND I totally get it all over my arms when I'm sticking my hands in there with the gloves and just rinse it off and it doesn't hurt me at all. Oven cleaner has come a loooong way from the stinky acid that it used to be.

eek Dude, I am so writing down the name of that and giving it a try! I wasn't using oven cleaner because I remember how nasty it used to be and with my asthma, heavy duty cleaning products and I do not get along.

It really gives a lot of us (Christians, especially us conservative ones) a bad name. Not just giving us a bad name, but actually harming the development of the kids. Sure, I can see trying to shelter your kids when they are really little, but I've seen it when the kids get to be teenagers (and even a few times when they are in their 20's). I thought the whole point of parenting was to help guild the growth of your child to where they can make decisions on their own. They have to be given freedoms and responsibilites more as they grow. I see the whole sheltering their kids as a lack of trust on their parts. Not only a lack of trust of their children's reasoning and discernment, but also of their own ability to parent. Sorry, I am kind of upset at my in-laws for doing exactly that with my BIL. I certainly hope that he will turn out ok, but I also don't hold out much hope. I will get off my soapbox for now. Side note: Yes, I am actually on for once in a blue moon. But probably not much for the next few months. Arg. Stuff has gotten really hectic around the lab and I don't see that changing for another 6 months to a year.

Nice that you dropped in - soapbox or no!
3nodding I agree with you in that I think parents are guides and (refuge too if its needed!)- not controlling forces. You have to realise that wrapping your babies up in cotton wool- however much you might want to protect them- will only hurt them in the long run.

Heh. I got into the anime arguement with my MIL while I was in Montana a couple of weeks ago. She seems to think that anime as well as manga, will teach my children to be violent and believe in things she considers 'bad'. Nevermind the fact that I'm a Happy Heathen myself. She went off on her tangent, and I let her, carefully calculating my next move. Yes, I plot against my MIL. Anyway, she got to the point of telling me the only acceptable movies children should watch are Disney movies. I bit my tongue, but inside I was laughing hysterically. Then when I get home, my 'geek' steps in. She sent me a movie while I was gone. It's a Japanese horror movie called The Phone. Now listen carefully all those that have been told the same thing. At the beginning of the movie is...The Disney movie logo. That's right, this movie had the backing of the Disney Co. and the proof is in the beginning of the movie. So I'm getting it on DVD. Next time we go to Montana, or they come down here. I'm going to sit down and watch that movie in front of my MIL. Should she say anything, I'm going to use her own 'logic' against her. Remember, she said the only acceptable movies are Disney movies. Well, The Phone IS a Disney movie. For all intents and purposes.

XD You are such a hoot!
Don't forget the Studio Ghibli movies as well: Disney backed the US versions of those. (They're wonderful movies, but just to show her even Disney supports anime is good enough for me. XP )

My geek and I are going out of our way to find the most twisted and/or frightening movies we can, that carry that 'sacred' Disney logo of hers.

Oh and I just found some very juicy information. DreamWorks is a division of Disney isn't it? Well....Here we go! In 2002, DreamWorks had a huge hit adapting the Japanese Ringu -- about a death curse befalling anyone who watches a certain mysterious video -- into The Ring. It starred Naomi Watts. It now plans a Ring II, just as there are a series of Ringu films in Japan.
Meanwhile, Disney is adapting Dark Water, about a mother and daughter trapped in a haunted apartment building, for release next year. It stars Jennifer Connelly and is directed by Motorcycle Diaries' Walter Salles. And looking toward other Asian countries, DreamWorks has bought the rights to South Korea's A Tale of Two Sisters, in which two teens return from a mental institution to find their family home possessed by evil spirits. Raimi's Ghost House Productions is also planning a remake of The Eye, a Hong Kong film by the Pang brothers about a blind girl who sees ghosts after eye surgery. Here's the link. http://www.citybeat.com/current/film.shtmlI'm going to watch Dark Water tomorrow and I'll let you all know just how twisted it is. As MIL said - Disney movies are the only acceptable ones for children. Gotta love her generalizations.
