We used to wake up early in the morning to watch Blues Clues. xD Anyway, so on the censoring topic - happened to me just a couple of hours ago. A movie called "Man in the house" or something similar, anyway so I walked into the room and the girls had the cardboard cutout and they started circling their boobs and vag and all so my mum told me to change the channel. Yeah, I get censored a lot but now with the help of youtube and iplayer there is nearly nothing I can't watch if I want to.
Your kids going to tip the balance? Either you have great genes or you expect your kids to be really fat.
nah, i am just one of many well-educated americans who doesn't really want children. dean will probably end up forcing me to have them, though.
If I have a daughter I'm keeping her away from media, pulling her out of school, and making her study martial arts and Shakespeare till she's 12. Then when she is 12 and still bigger than all the boys and knows kung fu, right into Jr. High. I get sent home a letter saying she beat up a boy yelling "Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by the sun of York!"
i am so with you. except i will make my kids learn guitar and singing. we will camp a lot and they will be bards like dean and me. honestly, that is kind of what my parents did to me. i was pretty sheltered. high school superficiality tried to take hold of me, but i got the better of it. i don't know. i am very strong-willed, i disobeyed and tricked my parents a lot. but i am naturally logical and insightful, especially when left to my own devices. it's hard to say how much of who i am is nature and how much is nurture. but i will definitely be censoring my kids shit for quality. i may not even pay for cable.
no no, 'twasn't an insult. i was just saying that the most sheltered kids often end up being the most rebellious. i, sir, am a prime example.
my parents didn't parent. censoring for quality is only okay if your kids know WHY you're censoring for quality I'd be cool with my nephew watching, lets say batman begins but not val kilmer batman.
