    Default Thomas the Train's Dark Side!!!

    Apparently Thomas teaches:

    *punishment for individual initiative
    *oposes critique and changes
    *regulates females to supportive roles


    What i've gathered from this article is the conservative values are bad becuase they (according to this article) promote different classes for people, promote woman being subordinate to men, and fight against change. WFT!!!

    Research by the University of Alberta has chillingly revealed that kids' TV show Thomas and Friends may be engendering a "conservative political ideology" in future generations - a repressive mindset which "punishes individual initiative, opposes critique and change, and relegates females to supportive roles".
    My underlining of engendering...doesn't this description of conservatives remind you of what we've seen posted elsewhere on the MB - must be a Cloning aberation created just for the purpose of describing those that don't agree???

    Wilton's findings, presented earlier this year to the Canadian Political Science Association, will doubtless add to a growing sense of unease among parents following the news that Disney, among others, punts "strictly heterosexual values" to wide-eyed kiddies.
    Those among you with sprogs who wish to raise gay radicals are accordingly advised to avoid animated steam engines and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. ®

    It's the basis of multiculturalism - the foundation of liberalism. The writer is only trying to contaminate the story lines with her own indoctrination - where is the village we've come to expect.

    That's not greed. That's a believer in the Dave Ramsey plan.

    Reminds me of Tinky-Winkygate. Remember the telletubby purple-triange-conspiracy? Thanks for keeping us aware of the really important things.

    I like to keep balance in my household.

    For each episode of Tinky-Winky watched in my household,

    We try to balance it with the role model of Spongebob's "Sandy Cheeks", riding an Alaskan Bull Worm into submission.

    Watching Sandy Cheeks beats watching purple dinosaurs.
