no, silly....it was a show called 'that's my baby'....where expectant animals are profiled...along with their owners/caretakers. One of the episodes focused on a lesbian couple and their dog....not for us!
speaking of Croc Files....have you noticed how buff Terri is lately? Crikey! We went to see the movie...and when she uses her shirt to wrap up a joey (or some other Australian thing they find on the side of the road), she was down to her cut self in a tank top...and we all said, "whoa". She's been weight training....but has overdone it, IMHO. I'm all for toning up, but....she looked a bit manly, there.
One thing - if you have a computer, you can watch DVD movies (VCR also can be connected).
read books of substance, not gibberish or junk. not magazines, books.
do your kids go to public school, btw? just wondering.
translation: I have neither the creativity, desire or ambition to actually use my brain to teach my children. Wow. Sixty years ago you would have died from a lack of tv.
go watch oprah. dr phil or rush will tell you what to think.
the base of your premise is that you SHOULD be able to get away with avoiding YOUR responsiblities by farming it out to someone else, public schools, the media, etc. etc.
your children and the job of raising them is no ones' responsibility but your own. the massive social destruction you see all around you stems from such a premise. It is the essence of statism and socialism or mysticism: looking externally for that which can only be found from ones' self. It is no different, but a matter of degree, between this attitude and those of the welfare statee.
I had a similar problem with my kids, they wanted to watch Captain Planet. I told them no and then explained why, that this cartoon is sending a message that people in general are bad because they hurt the environment. Then went in to more detail.
It worked beautifully because now that the youngest is 16 he's quite mindful of the subtle messages being delivered through such programs.
He had watched the show a while back to for grins and pointed out to me that the "good guys" on the show are all minorities and the one good guy that doesn't get why we should be so concerned with the environment above all else is white. Something I hadn't even noticed from the little bit of the cartoon I had watched when the kids were very young.
And allow me to say that in this home we don't condone racist thinking.
Disney Exec Arrested In Underage Online Sex Sweep
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The executive who oversees Walt Disney Co.'s Go Network of Internet sites was arrested after soliciting sex online from an FBI agent posing as a 13-year-old girl, a spokesman for federal prosecutors said Sunday. Patrick Naughton, 34, of Seattle, was arrested Thursday on the Santa Monica Pier, an entertainment area near Los Angeles, after he met a female officer who had arranged to meet him there, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.
Walt Disney was highly regarded as one who produced excellent stories that were considered to be children's classics. They always had some type of moral lesson (of the good type), and were well made and entertaining.
Since Walt passed away, liberal hedonists have bought out not only the Disney name, but everything associated to Disney. As such, Disney movies today are nothing more than meaningless drivel at best.
Walt is probably rolling in his grave as we speak...
Yep. As Queer Nation shouted at Disney World at one of their "gay day" parades, "We're here, we're queer, and we're coming for your kids".
ANY public or private organization that allows perverts to march around and shout that should be shutdown. But to think that it is an organization that peddles its wares to children, that is more than simply obscene, it is criminal.
I believe Walt's brother Roy took over, and he likes males much more than females.
I had the televisions removed from the house when I found my 3 year old daughter watching MTV and Madonna was crawling across the floor kissing a black man's foot who was supposed to be Jesus.
The kids started to read a lot and do creative activities. They were very different than the other kids at school, and sometimes ridiculed. We pulled them out and put them in private school. They are now both self supporting and thank my spouse and I for raising them the way we did.
While Walt's nephew Roy took over initially after both Walt's and his father Roy's deaths, he handed the top spot to Eisner.
From History and ownership:
The company was founded in 1923 by Walt Disney and he made the first Mickey Mouse cartoon in 1928. After family rivalry, the company divided with Walt taking one part and his brother Roy taking another part. The fraternal rivalries survived their deaths (Walt in 1966 and Roy in 1971).
Later Roy Disney (Walt's brother Roy's son) and the largest stockholder, Bass Brothers ruled the company and gave the top spot to Eisner. Roy Disney has sold his stock and, as of 1990, the Sid Bass Group, of Fort Worth Texas holds the biggest chunk of stock (18%). Other relevant share holders are Columbia Insurance Co. (9%), State Farm Mutual Au (7%), National Indemnity Co. (7%).
I beg your pardon, but I can imagine bigger failures than that.
read books of substance, not gibberish or junk. not magazines, books.
Those of us who live in the real world sure do appreciate your advice, especially the condescending tone. For someone so literate and intellectual, your grammar and spelling sure are sh*#...Einstein.
