Pat is one funny guy..err..girl...errr...
Actually, I can't imagine how they could make a movie out of what barely survived being funny on TV for more than 2 minutes.
On a side note, I know a gal who looks like Pat. She is married and has kids but definitely wears the pants in her family.
I suspect that she and her husband found a way to solve the masculine-female, feminine-male element of society without getting into sodomy.
Anywyas, 4 year olds shouldn't be watching television unsupervised, and they should not be on the internet AT ALL. The poll is whack.
My husband has total distain for Barbie.com, Mylittlepony.com etc. He won't allow our girls on them because they are giant commercials.
We buy the CD-ROMS and let them play to their hearts content.
And BTW, if a boy has a pee-pee and doesn't know he is a boy, he needs some help other than on Barbie.com.
et tu? Do you have to keep the base deenergized? LOL
BS. The "I don't know" was an obvious out for those who didn't want to give their gender. This whole thing is much ado about absolutely nothing.
Anyone with a room temperature IQ would have figured out that's exactly what was meant in the first place.
I found a federal law, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 that prohibits collection of personally identifiable data from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, but gender is not on list of data they cannnot collect.

So it looks like they are in the clear....
>>(8) PERSONAL INFORMATION.The term "personal information" means individually identifiable information about an individual collected online, including
(A) a first and last name;
(B) a home or other physical address including street name and name of a city or town;
(C) an e-mail address;
(D) a telephone number;
(E) a Social Security number;
(F) any other identifier that the Commission determines permits the physical or online contacting of a specific individual; or
(G) information concerning the child or the parents of that child that the website collects online from the child and combines with an identifier described in this paragraph.

Not that I have any influence... but if I did I wouldn't deenergize the CWA base but I would encourage them to focus on cases of actual child exploitation
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
They are eager to get the next generation totally under their control. In CA, IIRC, it is now the law that every kid in school gets to say which SEX (NOT GENDER, FOOLS!) they are. So Tom can wear a dress and demand to be called "Tomasina" and use the girls' bathroom. It's insanity.
Freepmail me and DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off this pinglist.
Innocent mistake?? Silly to question it?? I don't THINK so. That's what they say everytime they advance the agenda. Every single time.
And that, my fellow freeper, is exactly how they have gotten the agenda as far as they have. Way too many of us saying "it's much ado about nothing."
Read "Marketing of Evil"
total absolute hogwash. Whether they are a boy or a girl is a matter of extreme importance to little kids. My daughter (5 now) was keenly aware of it as early as two.
By the way, Humans don't have genders we have sexes
Paloma << I am four years old and don't know if I am a boy or a girl!?!?
How many 4 year olds qualify for that? .0001% >>
Godram < First of all, how many four year olds are able to read and surf well enough to get to that question and answer it?
Secondly there are lots of people who don't like answering personal questions so an "I don't know choice" is traditional. >
OK. So suppose the kid is 9, online and hits this question?
The question could have been better stated as "Decline to state".
The fact is, there is a HUGE effort to get children confused on their gender identity and sexual preference. Why?
Simple. For every 100 people, there are 47 males that can pair up with one of the 50 females that are all heterosexual.
For the remaining 2 homo females, the choice is really thin. For the one homo male, he has to seek out a homo from a different hundred.
In other words, they are simply trying to increase the pool of likely candidates. < aka recruitment >
I think a founding member of NAMBLA or certainly one of the early members.
Can you please list for me one single reason why somebody would be hesitant to give their gender on the official Barbie website? Keep in mind that most of those who go to this site are (we should assume) either young girls or collectors, either way I can't imagine why they would not want to have their gender known.
Good Point!!
But it begs the question: "What are boys doing on the Barbie doll website to begin with?"
The poll questions are regionally biased, too. In January...my kids are playing in the back yard wearing shorts.
