PROTECT our CHILDREN! HARMFUL advertising

[TinnToe]

LOL, i always argue with my friends because i do not want their children to believe in santa clause... I totally agree with you, just tell children the truth and do not make believe because children will think lying to each other is necesarry in this world in order to make a lot of profit...

i can only imagine you are against the NWO ?

take care.

It's sad to see advertising to kids. Especially war advertising... We can only be peaceful ourselves and try to show others peace. Thanks for your comment!

Yes, it's very sad if you see how they try to tell little boys to play with GI Joe and kill as many people as possible...

or did you know that a lot of chinese toy manufacturing have children working for them? that's childlabor in the third world for rich kids in the first... speaking about discrimination and rasicm! Nice to have met you.

[TheWeatherMan2012]

Definitely! Nice to have met you too.

The video is not aimed at kids. Do you know anything about Kid Rock's demographic? Did you know this video is NOT played in G or PG movies? Do you know anything? I guess any stupid opinion with no proof or rationality is allowed on the web.

If you think that all the military is for is war, you are wrong. I urge you to watch that video and see how the service member reacts with the Iraqi boy. Think about who helped the victims of Katrina. That was not an NBC news helicopter rescuing those stranded.

Thats the point I want to make.

No bad feelings to ya. :o)

Hey I'm with you. I think most of the people in the military are doing great jobs and a lot of them are in bc they want to help or are looking to better themselves in some way. I just don't like advertising of any kind being aimed at our kids. Kids should be taught what advertising is. Anyway I'm glad there's no hard feelings. I'm glad you posted a comment bc your point of view helped me see sides of the issue I didn't see at first. Peace ;o)

I would rather our youth get turned on to the military than to get caught up on the trash that is on television, the music and video games.

You turn on the T.V. and see programs like Wife Swap. Media outlets calling our President names. Promoting un-ethical decisions. The majority of children live in single family homes without morals and responsibilities. The military can teach them what the parents fail too.

@articfront Your comment brings to mind an empowering phrase I heard at a seminar. "If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got. Discipline in life, is not the exclusive product of the military. Albeit it does have a positive impact on certain individuals, how simplistic a notion, to ascertain that the military should be a reparative instrument for failed parenting, because the erosion of a society is an interwoven dysfunction and parents only a part.

[articfront]

So now the U.S. Military is causing the children in the Mid-East to lose sleep. It was not Saddam's regime , you know, the guy who killed entire villages. Shot fathers in front of their children. Threw men off the top of 5-10 story buildings. Think that is bad. You need to visit Iran. Pakistan or Afghanistan.

[TheWeatherMan2012]

You know what.. You are right. I feel people should do what they need to do. I'm not saying men shouldn't fight a war if they want to. Men with clear minds and know why they are fighting. I feel that's fine. I have my own beliefs. What I find wrong or upsetting is the way war and junk and everything else is being advertised to our children. Our children or programmed consumers most of the time. Anyway.. You make a good point.

[TheWeatherMan2012]

I'm not sure if these countries want us interfering tho. It's like when a cop breaks up a domestic dispute and the wife breaks a bottle over the cops head even tho he's "protecting" her. So.. We live in a nutty world and I feel if we ourselves can be peaceful we will bring more peace. Anyway.. nice chatting with you and I do see what you are saying. Thanks and Peace

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men are willing to do violence on their behalf.

People like you make me sick!

Do the children that are burned and mutilated by war sleep peacefully? Is it OK that children in other countries are harmed? Aren't they as innocent as your children? I have no problem with you. I wish you and your family Peace. I do know that war does not = peace. Peace + Peace. Peace ;o)

thank God this generation will know that war achieves nothing...
