I remeber when the power rangers got in trouble because a little kid said he used one of their moves while playing with a friend and both got hurt very badly.
But that was back when the WWE was still the WWF. They have had the same problem over the years.


My aunt doesn't let me cousin watch power rangers, but I never had a problem with it. Personally, I don't think kids get violent just because they watch it in TV. I mean, it's one reason, but not the only one.

Poor Parenting is the number one reason. But then there is also the fact that, kids are violent. They are rambunctious little buggers and always have been.

It's not meant for children.
Adults just don't keep track of what their children watch, therefore children watch it. notice how it's a late night show? Thats because it's an adult show.
If children didn't watch adult things, they wouldn't think adult thoughts.
Very true.
I've just always disagreed with violence in general.
I mean, whether or not it's a child's show, who is their role-model?
But I also have such a hatred of anything involving violence, I am completely biased on the subject of wrestling.

(Your cat is so cute!)


What you said before just made me laugh, because it reminded me of the whole weapon situation. Oh yes, lets blame the gun for killing innocent people, not the person pulling the trigger.

The gun got up, hopped off the table, aimed it's self and fired.

The child did not sleep, got up from bed, walked to the TV and turned it on while the parent was out or sleeping.

We have to remember that children learn their ways while parents are either out and about, working, sleeping or just not even caring. But children with parents who do care and put the time and effort into blocking channels, spending time with their child or teaching them good morals will end up growing up without those abusive thoughts.
Not to blame the parents, they can't watch their children every second, but putting the morals into that said child will make all the difference than just not doing anything at all.


And thaank you. smile He's 2 months.

Yes.
If little Joey takes little Jimmy's toy, Jimmy isn't going to ask for it, he's going to push Joey to the ground and take it back.
I just think that wrestling and boxing and many more things encourage children's already natural urge to be violent.

Yes! Evils, that's what they are.

rofl Even so, my cousins are a pair of cute evils. I'm afraid they're too much for my poor aunt, though.

I'm starting to feel bad for this Cena guy, with all the flaming he's getting.

Children naturally push eachother and shove eachother around anyway. We too, are mammals, and our natural instinct is to fight for something thats ours.

If little Jimmy and Joey are 2 years old, they aren't even watching wrestling, they're watching Dora and Barney, and still beating eachother's brains out.

Who's to blame next? Swiper no swiping?

They become rather lenient if it is someone who is 'official'
Not neccessarily NPCs
But non-regular members.
People flame Lanzer all the time.

No announcement is bad.
It means that Gaia is trying to establish the convention that advertising on Gaia should be regular, and not noteworthy.
They're trying to not only integrate it, but embed it.

This is really and truly marketing at its most sly. Even Sir Marshall McLuhan said the media is only doing its job if you don't know its there.

Advertising is twice as evil when it's under the radar.

twice as evil, and not nearly as ******** annoying.

Announcements for adverts and s**t are even MORE annoying than under the radar adverts.

Meh. I think I saw the guy once on TV. Back when I sometimes watched wrestling. I just remember that he was getting beaten by a guy whose moves were so obviously fake that I couldn't enjoy it at all. I mean, all wrestling is fake, but there's a difference between jumping down from a post and embedding your elbow a few centimeters from the other guy's stomach and doing the same thing on the other side of the ring and the guy still acts like he was being beaten.

As for advertisement: Whatever. As long as it only adds to the site and doesn't change what's already there, I can live with it even if I don't like it.

And as for wrestling and violent children: a parent's job is to parent. If they do it right, the children won't grow up maladjusted, even if they sometimes watch violent things. Taking the easy way out and blocking the channel or installing a childproof block on the computer will only make the children wonder what is there that they aren't supposed to see.

I'd rather be annoyed than manipulated.
To a writer, time is always less valuable than actual money. Ticks on the clock we've got lots of, but in cash we often have very little.

Well fancy for you. Most of us here would rather ignore it than get annoyed by them tossing it in our face. We may be talking about it, but not a damn one of us is going to order that Pay Per View. So, yeah, its pretty shitty advertising since it doesn't actually make us want anything.

You can always make money if you aren't picky, but you only have so much time on this earth. You want to waste it, feel free to.

Eh, I have mixed feelings about it.

On the one hand, cool, celebrity on gaia (in theory)
but on the other...

oh god... WRESTLING. Soap Operas for men.

Then again, I suppose somewhere on the site there are wrestle fans. So I suppose I can't b***h. We have our anime to satisfy us.

you got a problem with wrestling. If it is the avi i am thinking that it is then it isn't really John Cena.
