Horror movies bad influence on kids

why just kids? there should be a warning like
"listeners to he Rush Limbaugh show should recognize that the information presented by Mr Limbaugh is for entertainment purposes only"

I think this joker is a new competitor with Gunga Dim for the title of Author of the Goofiest Threads on a Flimsy Basis.

Were witch movies, horror movies, I used to be so scared and I thought they were real...


Still do.

But this is nothing new. In the days before movies, do you think kids were often told "Don't take that Hansel and Gretel story too seriously. It's just a story. Parents don't actually abandon their kids in a forest." Most of the Grimm fairy tales were designed to scare the bejazus out of any impressionable young child.

Sooo Rick had bad parents that never, ever told him and now feels the need to warn children.



That being the case, why would parents let them read them?

Great money making scheme, kids love that stuff. But, nightmares are made from them.

Obviously you don't understand the minds of the Germans. They thought Till Eulenspiegel was funny, especially the part at the end where he gets hanged. They laugh until the tears come.

What is with this satire?



Is that why they laughed ?

I love learning something new , every day ... Fanks

Years ago, i read the memoirs of an RAF fighter pilot. He was shot down over France in the last days of the war. His engine was knocked out, but he still had his controls (a fighter without an engine is much like a rock with wings), so he was desparately trying to keep it aloft to clear some trees and land in a field. Then he sees a mobile anti-aircraft artillery battery on the far side of fhe field, and they start shooting at him. He hits the gun button on his stick, and the Germans stop shooting at him just as his plane pancakes into the field.

Well, he's pretty banged up, but he manages to slide the canopy back, and climbs out to find himself surrounded by angry German soldiers. They're jerking him around and they drag him over to the AAA battery. There, he sees one barrel of the gun peeled back like the petals of a flower, with the breech exploded. The gunner and loader are dead in their seats. Apparently, in a freak accident, one of the rounds from one of his machine guns went right down the barrel of the gun just as a canon shell was loaded, causing the breech to explode, killing the crew.

Now the soldiers are all silent, looking grim and staring at him. Suddenly, they all break out laughing, just falling out with laughter. One of them who speaks English tells him: "You should have seen the look on your face!" Then they're all slapping him on the back, telling him it was a great shot, he's the luckiest man they've ever seen, and they take him to their truck to drive him off to the POW cage.

For me, that has always been the very expression of the German sense of humor.

Lol's it all sounded so grim till the end.

There was a war movie about a horse, Red something? Your story reminded me of that...

We all went to see it and burst into tears, un-controllably.. Another story.

But, a German soldier helped the other "side" free the horse...

That was a highlight, "the fight till the end" but "human" nature intervened.

My Grandfather, like many was a Soldier in the war....

He crossed a busy road, not thinking and got run over... So un-fair....................................................

Anyways.

Germans also laugh and laugh at their Christmas celebrations wherein some drunk gets to rdess up like a mythical nome who beats the **** out of kids who werent good all year. SCrew self-esteem, ya hadda be tough to be a German kid during the holidays

They are kids and they will never listen to you how much ever you explain to them... times heals everything... they will come to know once they grow

Absolutely agreed!

Ancient Roman parents were said to have intimidated,
terrorized, their children by invoking the name of Hannibal.
