I got this in my email this morning showing how [snip] stupid nanny staters can be over the last couple of centurys. I wonder how many of these "highly intelligent" people went on to get cushy government jobs? Pay very close attention to the comic books qoute. Why anyone ever listens to people like this is a mystery but im sure there will be people right on this board agreeing with almost everything here and calling for big governemnt solutions to solve these societal ills.
Novels
"The free access which many young people have to romances, novels, and plays has poisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of many a promising youth; and prevented others from improving their minds in useful knowledge. Parents take care to feed their children with wholesome diet; and yet how unconcerned about the provision for the mind, whether they are furnished with salutary food, or with trash, chaff, or poison?" - Reverend Enos Hitchcock, Memoirs of the Bloomsgrove Family, 1790
The Waltz
"The indecent foreign dance called the Waltz was introduced ... at the English Court on Friday last ... It is quite sufficient to cast one's eyes on the voluptuous intertwining of the limbs, and close compressure of the bodies ... to see that it is far indeed removed from the modest reserve which has hitherto been considered distinctive of English females. So long as this obscene display was confined to prostitutes and adulteresses, we did not think it deserving of notice; but now that it is ... forced on the respectable classes of society by the evil example of their superiors, we feel it a duty to warn every parent against exposing his daughter to so fatal a contagion." - The Times of London, 1816
Movies
"This new form of entertainment has gone far to blast maidenhood ... Depraved adults with candies and pennies beguile children with the inevitable result. The Society has prosecuted many for leading girls astray through these picture shows, but GOD alone knows how many are leading dissolute lives begun at the 'moving pictures.'" - The Annual Report of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, 1909
The Telephone
"Does the telephone make men more active or more lazy? Does [it] break up home life and the old practice of visiting friends?" - Survey conducted by the Knights of Columbus Adult Education Committee, San Francisco Bay Area, 1926
Comic Books
"Many adults think that the crimes described in comic books are so far removed from the child's life that for children they are merely something imaginative or fantastic. But we have found this to be a great error. Comic books and life are connected. A bank robbery is easily translated into the rifling of a candy store. Delinquencies formerly restricted to adults are increasingly committed by young people and children ... All child drug addicts, and all children drawn into the narcotics traffic as messengers, with whom we have had contact, were inveterate comic-book readers This kind of thing is not good mental nourishment for children!" - Fredric Wertham, Seduction of the Innocent, 1954
Rock and Roll
"The effect of rock and roll on young people, is to turn them into devil worshippers; to stimulate self-expression through sex; to provoke lawlessness; impair nervous stability and destroy the sanctity of marriage. It is an evil influence on the youth of our country." - Minister Albert Carter, 1956
Videogames
"The disturbing material in Grand Theft Auto and other games like it is stealing the innocence of our children and it's making the difficult job of being a parent even harder ... I believe that the ability of our children to access pornographic and outrageously violent material on video games rated for adults is spiraling out of control." - US senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, 2005
The majority of Frenchmen were illegitimate long before the waltz.
Only someone ignorant of the fundamentals of psychiatry and the psychopathology of sex can fail to realize a subtle atmosphere of homoeroticism which pervades the adventure of the mature "Batman" and his young friend "Robin." --Fredric Wertham, Seduction of the Innocent, 1954
"And who could forget the golden quote:
Only someone ignorant of the fundamentals of psychiatry and the psychopathology of sex can fail to realize a subtle atmosphere of homoeroticism which pervades the adventure of the mature "Batman" and his young friend "Robin." --Fredric Wertham, Seduction of the Innocent, 1954"
SEE!!!! The comics are dangerous. This is obviously the start of the movement to accept homosexuality and even pedophelia. If only people had listened!!!
Well, obviously. As the good doctor tried to warn us, the comics are just full of homosexuality (Batman), fascism (Superman), lesbianism and general kinkiness (Wonder Woman), et cetera.
Only ones written by Harry Anslinger.
“The Jungle” was first published in 1906 and is basically about a drunken gambling hobo named Jurgis that is in and out of prison and couldn’t make a living on his own. Jurgis became infatuated with the idea of government helping him through socialism.
This is the book that is credited for starting what is today the FDA. His ideas from the book and his own personal life sparked the socialist party and prohibition. It is required or suggested reading in most public schools today.
If you don’t want to read the dragged out boring parts of this book just read the last chapter and under stand this guy is a loser before he was in lighted with socialistic ideas.
Last chapter of “The Jungle”
Whoa, dude.
Your head is really big.
Dude.
"Psst, hey buddy, let's go rob this gas station."
"I don't know man, we might get busted."
"Dude, chill out. Here, take a hit of crack. How about now?"
"I'm still not sure."
"Ok, take a shot of heroin. How about now?
"I'm still not sure."
"No problem, snort a line of meth. How about now?"
"Nah, that wouldn't be wise."
"Ok, take a hit off this joint?"
"RIGHT ON DUDE LET'S DO THIS THING!!!!
(after the robbery, they were on their way to listen to jazz music while raping white women)
Yeah, and Liberace 'might have' been gay.
"Although it's unlikely that all who smoke grass eventually wind up on crack/meth/heroin,I'll wager that the huge majority of those on the hard stuff started with grass."
I'll bet even more started out drinking milk
