Reply #55: Do you have kids? [View All]

[symbolman]

It doesn't sound like it, as you'd be frightened for your kid and not just wave the Darwin's Book around.. Little kids are Monkey See, Monkey DO.. they don't read disclaimers, they drink bleach without reading the labels, etc..

To little kids TV is REAL. I have a 20 month old now that's exceedingly bright, but he imitates everything he sees, had one son at three almost run me over with the car, jumped right in the driver's seat while my wife was in the car when I got out..

They see someone doing this, they WILL imitate it.

Now, what kind of message is a child receiving when a man dangles and tempts a CROC, a killing machine with a BABY? What are they supposed to think? Do kids think, "Wow that's really cool.." Not kids under three.. all they want is to be SAFE (which is what all of us want and that's what the Bush people are preying on right now), and they might think that those BIG people can Harm them or put them at risk..

How many kids are doing Jackass stunts despite the warnings? I've got a 20 year old that has been doing REALLY stupid "stunts" since he was 17 as a result of that show..

Don't do this at Home? Impressionable minds don't listen.. Monkey See, Monkey Do.

Maybe Jesus should have said that, used a Stunt Messiah :)
