Cartoons!

[Work in Progress]

Like I said - they are a perfect example of the agenda to dumb down America.

I didn't realize there was an "agenda" to dumb down America, but okay. I respect your opinions.

Stop for a moment and consider everything that is pumped into your house every night of the week during "the family hour" that is offered to you as "entertainment". Then, spend a week paying close attention to every commercial you see on television. THEN consider the majority of movies that are offered as entertainment on the big screen. Who has major power and control in America? The media. Someone is behind the low-intelligence, shallow, trashy, immoral, crude, crass garbage (lol, mcm) that inundates us and our children everywhere we turn. It's not just happenstance.

Thanks for respecting my opinion - hey - what made you think I had an opinion on this? Well, maybe just a mild one.

Of course I have only heard of these cartoons, I am much too young to be that old

Hey, when did Garth Brooks show up in this thread???? I missed him!!!!! Wahhhh!! Did anyone get his autograph for me??

JIG2 - thanks for the heads up - believe me, I don't let them watch anything on those channels that looks like it will have humanistic teaching. If the program is borderline, than I make sure I am right there with them so I can counteract any false teaching that the shows tries to put out. A good example of what you said is the recent "Jesus" stuff on discovery. Okay for me and the husband - but impressionable, learning minds? No way - too many errors and falsities.

Hey - btw - the weatherman do a little more than "look outside" to bring you that forecast.

I've been telling my wife for sometime that the entertainment industry is the direct work of the devil, but that's probably outside the scope of a "What's your favorite cartoon?" thread!

O.K. Let's get rolling...

King of the Hill

The Simpsons

Beavis and Butthead

Sponge Bob Squarepants

Good, Bad, or Ugly???

As Mike mentioned even the news lies to us and they cant even get the weather right (false prophets or should I say profits  )

Umm weathermen aren't prohesizing, I certainly hope you aren't incinuating that they are. They are predicting what the weather will do based on indicators and measured values. Weathermen will always tell you that the forecast isn't 100% accurate, but more often than not they are right. It's not prophesy, it's science.

and for MCM

King of the Hill - Hardly ever watch it, no real value.

Simpsons- Satire at it's best. Some people find it offensive, I find it to be great social commentary. Plus the Simpsons creator is a very nice guy, I met him once.

Beavis and Butthead - Pretty much trash. Can be funny but not much value in it.

Sponge Bob - Never watched.

Amen Sis,

Its good that you are alert in this area as well.

As far as the weather men, I was just joking, so youse guys can put away your claws and calm down the hackles. :oww:

In Chicago, its very hard to predict the weather with lake and all and they are probably around 45% right, just ask anyone who is from around here, so we have this saying that if you want to know what the weather is going to be like just look outside.

I wished I had a job that I could be wrong 60% of the time and not get fired

Alright, say what ya gotta say but be gentle :whistle:

:music: Well, I was thinking the other day . . .

What if cartoons got saved . . .

your killin' me neb

I guess I should consider myself fortunate then. Our weatherman here in Idaho is right about 80% of the time, then again our weather patterns are far more predictable than living close to the great lakes.

Good to see another Idaho-an on the boards!
