Comments: Eddie Eagle in Crosshairs

What an idiot. Make them aware? That is utterly hilarious.

Though by his same logic it sounds like we shouldn't just avoid the subject of cigarettes... but maybe we should get rid of sex ed as well. After all, if they haven't heard about it then they wont try that either .

Darn. Windaria got to it before I could...

The same people that think "Eddie Eagle" is going to turn regular kids into homicidal maniacs because they never would have thought of firearms will be the first to scoff at the idea that teaching middle school children how to put a condom on a banana will lead them to experiment sexually...

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go lie down and recuperate from that run-on sentence...

So this idiot's logic is that we shouldn't teach them to not play with matches because if we do, they'll burn the house down. Only a liberal could fathom that reasoning.

We very recently had a very good example of this in Seattle.

An 8 and 9 year old boys seemed to learn the right thing. That alderman guy needs a kick in the nuts.

Maybe we should ban TV watching for the little ones, too. After all there are sooo many guns on TV! We wouldn't want them to learn about their (guns) existence from the History Channel's discussion of the Revolution or WWII.

What and a$$hat.

Comments close down on posts after seven days and then the comment input form disappears.

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" are currently banned as well. Another common bounce is any word containing the string "cialis" which means words such as socialism will be rejected. Try putting a hyphen into a word like that.
