Charlie Brown/Peanuts is "Too Mean", Encourages Bullying

[P@t_Mtl]

Unfortunately, bullying is the new target of people. It's sad that certain kids have taken their lives and it's not fun but people instead of focusing on where the problems are, at home, in schools where the parents and teachersjust don't give a crap what their kids do until something bad happen, they point the finger at something else It's how our society work's now, why should I make an effort and blame myself and try harder when I can put all the blame on something else.

When I was in school and screwed up and the teacher called my parents over, they never took my side, they were working with the teacher. Now a days it's "how dare you disturb me with this and blame my wonderful golden child, so what he's dealing drugs in school? He as a business!"

I bet this dad is one of those parents who wants all kids to get the same participation trophy for little league sports. Can't have some kids getting a bigger trophy or feeling might get hurt.

if you don't think that certain shows/cartoons/movies are inappropriate for your kids, then don't let them watch them.

but don't even DARE to tell me what my kids can and can't watch (not that i have kids). it ain't nobody's business but the parents what kids watch. if the parents allow their kids to watch things that other parents would consider inappropriate, so be it.
if you have to go on and on about how a classic cartoon that has been around for a long time sends the wrong messages to kids, then you aren't raising your kids right.
my youngest niece watches things like that and knows that it's not real and it's in indicative of real life.

and while she's 11 now, she's known this for a few years.

i can't stand people like that.

"let's give them all trophies so they don't feel bad about losing." or "let's not keep score so there are no losers."

yeah, good job there. what are you gonna do when they have to face real life and realize that there ARE winners and losers.

when i played little league baseball those many years ago, i never cried if i didn't get a trophy just like the winners did. i knew that if we lost, we had to work harder to get a trophy the next time.

Those sound like 2 different extremes, neither of which is the right approach.

So Charlie Brown is too mean for all the kids who cuss me out on Xbox Live. Good to know.

One dimwit makes one dimwit posting on some obscure blog and suddenly it's national news? Media manipulation at its most crass.

Disturbing. The world would be a better place if all pc people jumped off a cliff.
