Countdown to classic literature that has violence/weapons/offensive magic being banned from the schools.
You have got to be kidding me. They are using now if their is any tobacco use in movies is a reason to rate it. What is going on in this country we rate movies if someone smokes a cigarette which last time I checked is legal.
Across the ocean, children are taught to throw rocks at tanks and resist and kill Americans. They are taught that it is a brave thing to wear the belt and kill themselves and infidels. When these children meet ours on tomorrows’ battlefield, who will have the advantage?
They’ll advance waving crayon pictures of guns on construction paper and our boys will scatter and call for help.
Lego has delighted fans by giving some of its play figures realistic-looking guns and pistols.
Hey, here's an idea: don't buy the kits with them. My boys love the star wars kits. I've got 20 year old pirate kits with guns and cannons.
LOL!
tooo damn funny...
“I agree. I don’t want guns in them.”
Wow, from the time my daughters were 8-10 YO, they were exposed to, trained on and handled guns. My wife and I insisted on it.
Today (they are in their 30’s now) they respect and understand the potential harm AND GOOD possible with weapons.
Last I heard, no one in my family has threatened (needlessly), harmed or killed anyone.
I’m an AFOL (Adult Friend of Lego). Because of the paucity of weapons, some AFOLers have taken to actually casting their own plastic weapons. I’ve got a few special-built ones (actually my son does, he got if from someone in my AFOL club).
Lego has a large and growing adult fan base, that do a lot of very adult things with their Legos , including some very realistic modern warfare layouts with tanks, planes, guns, the works. I’ve seen some excellent renditions of weaponry.
The guy recounts stories and lessons from the Bible, using Legos to illustrate. He's got several "suggestive" pictures like the for marriage.
This however is my favorite, about the role of Women in the church and family:
I saw this in the bookstore a while ago. It's the bible in pictures with lego people. kind of weird, but i got a chuckle...
You should see the cool guns my kids made our of our K’nex sets.
My daughter was working with two boys on a project about Medieval weaponry, and yesterday the shop teacher told them they weren’t allowed to build wooden weapons in shop class.
Today they found out it was OK, but the shop teacher didn’t want to help, so now they are scrambling to get the work done.
We played with guns that looked real that used “caps” to make loud sounds. I guess we turned out pretty bad, except it isn’t OUR generation running around shooting up schools.
My 7 year old’s favorite toy is a rubber band gun. He’s been asking for a pop gun since he watched the old Our Gang shorts.
