Monkey Business
My animals are lining up to sue me for petting them, plus providing food, shelter & medical treatment.

I agree with Michael Savage - Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.
To judge a series of books written for children in the 1940’s by today’s wacko, leftist CA standard is just way out of bounds.
I believe the other way - too much of today’s cartoons, books, movies, clothing and toys geared to children are WAY TOO stupid, PC and adult themes. What is so damn wrong with letting children be children instead of little adults?
Oh yeah, I forgot, parents have to supervise children - little adults can fend for themselves. Just give ‘em a cell phone to keep in touch and go about being a self-centered adult. And don’t forget to support little freddie when he kills someone later on because he’s pissed at you or little lulu who now weighs 300 lb because she eats her anger.
At least it will keep the pyschobabble mds and phds in bmws for decades to come!
OMG, a barking moonbat triple threat!!!Roth, a high school English teacher in Los Angeles…
I don’t see what all this foolisness is all about. Anyone with a brain knows we animals are smarter than you humans.
Take a test.
1. Do animals crap where they live? No.
2. Do animals allow threats to their lives to live if at all possible? No.See, two for two. Now please shut up and feed me. Thank you.
My kids were raised on those stories along with others.
I suppose that it would be too late to ask those people to get a REAL life.
By the way ....... took the granddaughter to see the movie. I went for the entertainment value and was pleasantly rewarded. Does this mean that I’m now a dirty, animal abusing misanthrope, guilty of infecting my granddaughter with unrealistic notions?
Bowshot - Yes. Welcome to the club.
bowshot - you see there’s the difference - we don’t waste our money supporting the hollyweird bunch anymore. Just wait and then pick and chose at the rental store. Can watch in peace and quiet. And pay a damn site less for the view and the snacks.
Man the loony libs are just taking the fun out of everything now days.

I remember watching Curious George on the Disney Channel when I was a kid (late eighties into 1990), and I looked forward to watching it every day, just to see what adventures the Man in the Yellow Hat and George went on, and the messes that George would get into.
All that I see know on TV for preschoolers is Wiggles, which is pretty cute, and some of the crap on Nick Jr (not the good stuff that I grew up with, like Eureka’s Castle), Seaseme Street (which is becoming more and more PC by making Cookie Monster eat other foods, before you know they will start making Oscar the Grouch take anger management classes), Barney (GAH!!) and the Teletubbies
All I know is that I’m going to let my kid be a kid, and not subject him to this PC
On DVD “The Wiggles” And “Thomas the Tank Engine” is popular with the 2/3 year old set. Teletubbies is a hit with kids too young to use much language—it obviously appeals to the primitive part of the brain. Also drives adults batty ... why is it little kids love repetition?
What’s your Personal Best for having read the same story over and over to some kid? My son categorically refused to listed to one more playing of “Someone’s In the Kitchen With Dinah” no matter how much my Grandson begged.

Methinks too many left-coast liberals have a guilt complex because they have been spanking THEIR monkey too often!
You know I honestly like the Wiggles. It is a not bad aerobic workout to try to keep up for 30 minutes. That Captain Feathersword is a laugh riot IMHO. The teletubbies wasn’t a bad racket when you are up with a fussy baby and it is the only thing on at 3am and the baby loves it. You sort of over look a lot of stupidity when the tradeoff is a happy baby!
But, I never get stuck reading the same book over and over. My shelves are FUUUUULLLLLLL of books (sort of to the point of being OCD about it) I have all kinds of kids stuff.
The current problem I am having is with a book we are currently reading aloud. Mr Poppers Penguins. I made the mistake of giving Mr Popper sort of an obnoxiously intensified British accent (ala Mr Thornberry for all you Nick Jr fans) It was fun that first day, but now the kids demand the accent. My throat is really paying for it!
More proof that our diseducation system is a moonbat’s best career escape from involuntary commitment.
To cure sociopathy, schizophrenia et al, simply invest it with tenure. And then it becomes intellectually respectable, by today’s burned-out lights at least.

I saw “Song of the South” when it came back into the theatre’s in the mid 1970’s.
Loved it.
But I digress.
Because of these whiny leftist trolls you won’t find Speedy Gonzales on tv anymore because it’s ‘insensitive’ to hispanics.
Btw-wait’till these silly clowns get their claws on ‘Babar’.

Hmm, I suppose we won’t be seeing El Kabong any more either.
Roadrunner is probably too violent, Rocky and Bullwinkle have too many stereotypes, Donald Duck isn’t wearing any pants (I watched him for years and never noticed. Gotta wonder who noticed and what kind of prevert they are/were.) and Betty Boop would cause them to explode.
Can’t read Huckelberry Finn any more because it has that dreaded word that made millions for Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Dick Gregory and others.
Come to think of it, I don’t think Dick Gregory made millions, he was too early, too honest, too forthright and missed the gravy train. I always liked his standup but sponsors got nervous which made the networks hysterical. => No more Dick Gregory on the idiot box. Damn shame and it seems to have made him bitter too.
I just have to wonder if this anti-monkey thing isn’t some perverse advertising ploy. It has worked before.
True, there were some lousy ‘pickaninny’ bits; for example the early “Tom&Jerry” (cat/mouse) cartoons have edited out ‘Mammy’. Collecting ‘Picaninny Art’ is fashionable among some middle-class blacks; old Aunt Jemima/Uncle Tom salt & pepper shakers fetch a nice price now.
“Nigger Jim” is the most heroic, honest, and pure soul and “Huckleberry Finn” is the story of Huck rejecting conventional piety, and the (mostly) creepy white folks he meets, in order to be true to his friend Jim.
The greatest line in American lit is when Huck refuses to turn in Jim as a runaway slave, altho he’s aware that it’s “wrong”. It also should be our motto:
ALRIGHT THEN, I’LL GO TO HELL!

Phobos-
I have heard of BitTorrant but could you explain how it works?

I bought Tom Saywer and Huckleberry Finn for my grandchildren to read. Mainly because I enjoyed both of them when I was growing up. (in the south) I still, to this day, remember the opening dialog to TS. “Tom ... no answer ...” So far, no luck. They are too buisy with the video games and piano lessions, (for the 11 YO and under). The 18 YO is buisy trying to graduate in June and the 14 YO is running track. There is still hope for the other 4 I guess.
Anyone interested can “Google” Song of the South and get it on DVD for as little as $20. Don’t know the quality, but it has to be better than the VHS copy I got some years ago with Japanese sub-titles.
Oink ... They’ll be a few of us there with you! We’ll have a big BMEWS reunion!
There’s a very good explanation of bittorent here, yatalli. There are several free clients available. The last one I used was Azureus.
Carguy: If one is willing to overlook some stuff that is tasteless/racist in present times, there are good things to enjoy. ‘Birth of a Nation’ is not one of my favs, however. My Godson watched ‘Dumbo’ at film school, which is the only place he’d seen it.

” ... tasteless/racist ...” I believe, is in the mind of the beholder. In order to truely be a racist, I believe there must be malace. Without it, you have “the real world”.
Anyone really interested should take a trip to Song of the South.net and get the REAL story behind those wonderful Uncle Remus stories.
Forget the racism B.S. That’s the way it once was. It is no longer. Get over it and get on with life.I agree, Carguy, the racism BS has all become extraordinarily wearisome and grates on the nerves.
Particularly among those who are not greatly interested in fondling their purity in public.
I concede that 1. there are many minorities with big chips on their shoulder, just looking to be offended 2. you ought to save strong words like ‘genocide’ and ‘racist’ for when you really need them 3. there is often more ignorance than malice in bigots.
However, I clearly recall when you hardly ever saw black faces on TV/movies except as servants or as Steppin Fetchit comic-relief darkies. Come to think of it you never saw black people in the real world except as menials. And that was, is, and ever shall be racist.

I agree with the last sentence Oink. However, I have to strongly DISagree with the next to last one. I don’t know where you were raised, but in the part of the south where I was, there were plenty of blacks in the “real” world.
1) As a youngster, my “white” neighborhood bordered a “black” neighborhood. (not my doings, just fact) I grew up playing with more black friends than white.
2) My father worked with a black gentleman (equal Maytag repairmen) and he visited our house many times.
3) When I was old enough to get my first job, it was for my white friend’s father, in a grocery store ... in a black neighborhood. One of my best friends in the store was the (black) butcher. Just to put it in perspective, I was the stock boy and “go-fer”.
I could continue to bore for hours, but you get my drift. “Depends on ...”All very good points.
Going back in time, The Bottom Line, from your Old OINK—who was there. Do you know when “Conservatives” fucked-up BIGTIME? It was when they decided that a black WW2 veteran who no longer would tolerate being denied the vote, denied service at restaurants, or being called a nigger—MUST be a Communist.
The Skipper would not tolerate a racist on this blog for one second. But for me and many others, the word ‘conservative’, for the above reason, leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Step in here anytime, OCM.

I hear ya, It was wrong ... have a piece of chocolate ... It’s valentine’s day ... That was then ... This is now ... life’s too short to be holding grudges for too long.
:smile:Car: Thank you, but you weren’t entirely wrong—see OCM for that department.
(Joke, Dude)
As for today the choice is 1. piss and moan about how badly my (dead) ancestors treated your (dead) ancestors 2. get on with our lives, now that the legal barriers are down. This is where I differ from OCM in strategy. If you’re a racist in your heart ... well, I can’t see your heart; I’ll be satisfied if you keep your filthy yap shut.
Anecdotally, the only overt racism my sons & wives have encountered is from the non-whites. (Twinkie: yellow on the outside, white on the inside)

I didn’t mean that I was wrong, but rather the actions toward the black WWII Vet. in your first para. of #30. Those were WRONG.
I, on the otherhand, AM NEVER WRONG!
OCM: Yes. Your race is your identifier. Just like racists believe.
Carguy: Thanks for the clarification .......
