T-BONE

As far as violence goes Steve, I watched all those cartoons growing up and I'm not a violent person. I think that's a bad parents excuse why their little brat turned out to be a total shithead. My parents let us be kids, but we still had our responsibilities around the house. Every week, it changed among us 3 brothers. Trash, dishes, lawn/snow, vacuuming, etc. You're a parent, I'm sure you know what I mean. So I personally don't think it's the TV making kids act like they do, It's the lack of discipline coming from the parent. Kids mimic what they see from their surroundings. My ex-fiance and I are still best friends, but Zach acts totally different around each of us. He's a great kid who always listens to me, picks up his toys, goes to bed, takes his nap, and other things. When he's with mom, he's the complete opposite. She lets him do what he wants and he has no structure. She was raised that way and thats the way she turned out too. A complete slob. She's an awesome friend and very fun to go party with, but not to live with. Thats where Zach gets his attitude from. He wants to do all the fun stuff, but not the responsible stuff when he's with mommy. So to make it short, I think it's all parenting, not Cartoons or TV.

jason must be M.I.A. I figured he'd jump all over this thread. Maybe his weekend started early and he's passed out already Lightweight

It was just a guess TIM. Who knows where it goes next

No more replies? No one had any favorite cartoons as a kid? Geeeeez

When I was growing up, the good cartoons were still on TV. Not the bullshit they feed the kids these days. Well...there's a few exceptions like Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Lab. My favorite childhood cartoons came on at 3pm after school and usually ran until 5pm. They were G.I.Joe, M.A.S.K., Transformers, Superfriends, He-Man, and Looney Tunes. On Saturday mornings there was all the Looney Toons, Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, and other varied toons. These days, there doesn't seem to be that many good kid toons. The Simpsons, Beavis & Butthead, Ren & Stimpy, South Park, Family Guy, and King Of The Hill are all geared towards Adults. My theory is that the TV Networks are being pressured to lay off the Saturday Morning Cartoons and after school cartoons to get kids to do other "More Constructive" things and not be couch potato's. Thats a decent Idea, but let kids be kids and quit making them grow up so fast.

Tim, This Is How To Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity in the Workplace: This is good stress relief: Page yourself over the intercom. Don't even try to disguise your voice. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear them one day after you boss does. This is especially effective if your boss is of a different gender than you. Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. "That's a good point, Sparky." Or, "No, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Cha-cha." Send e-mail to the rest of the company telling them exactly what you're doing. For example, "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom." Hi-Lite your shoes. Tell people you haven't lost them as much since you did this. While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in Palmolive liquid. Call everyone Madge. Hang mosquito netting around your cubicle. When you emerge to get coffee or a printout or whatever, slap yourself randomly the whole way. Put a chair facing a printer. Sit there all day and tell people you're waiting for your document. Every time someone asks you to do something, anything, ask them if they want fries with that. Send e-mail back and forth to yourself engaging yourself in an intellectual debate. Forward the mail to a co-worker and ask her to settle the disagreement. Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing. Put your trash can on your desk. Label it "IN." Feign an unnatural and hysterical fear of staplers. Send e-mail messages saying there's free pizza or donuts or cake in the lunchroom. When people drift back to work complaining that they found none, lean back, pat your stomach and say, "Oh you've got to be faster than that." This one is my all time favorite!! Just think of "Cornholio" Put decaf in the coffeemaker for three weeks. Once everyone has withdrawn from caffeine addiction, switch to espresso.

Diddo jason. Actually, I didn't like Push Comes To Shove that much either. Jackyls debut was the best.

David, I listened to UKJ Motel California many times and I still don't like it. There doesn't seem to be any flow on the cd. It's like they abandoned their musicianship to try and be the next Rage Against The Machine. America's Least Wanted was great and they changed to a little edgier sound for the Menace to Sobriety cd, but it too was still very good. This was too much of a drastic change for me to give it any credit. Sorry
