A Prime Example Of Rad Parenting

Nothing in your post makes any sense at all and it all seems to be backed up by your assumption that there are only three places you can get action figures/comics (internet, toys r us & hobby shops) and that every single one of those people that don't have access to the net would have a comic book or action figure collection that they are trying to build...

Of the 68,000,000 people estimated in the US to not have internet acess it does not mention how many are below the age of 15 or the qualifications even to be considered to not have access...

Is this access in your home? Is this access that you can get at a public library or cafe? Is there an age requirement? Is there a margin for error? etc.

72 million people in the US are under 1-17
34 million are above the age of 65

I'd bet that most comicbook/action figure collectors wouldn't even go for a walter white doll... but again that's just my assumption...

In the end if you want to blame anyone blame Toys R Us for caving to the pressure... It's not a discussion on whether it's right or wrong for them to sell it but rather if its worth it for them to keep it on the shelves...

I wont deny that what ppl get side tracked from there intentions, voice it wrong, (or are idiots sometimes.)

She doesnt like it: fine
she doesnt want her kid to have it: fine
she voices her opinion of it to the company and public: also fine

she demands that a toy be removed from a toy store because she doesnt like it (their-by taking the personal choice away from every other person, and making them all conform to her will of right and wrong for children not her own): Very Wrong.

I find it very fascinating that removing an item from toys r us, that isn't even considered in their main target audience is like the end of democracy to some people here XD


Under your logic, every single pressure group are doing something very wrong. Every pressure group lobbying for change is trying to make the rest of the nation to conform to their views of rights and wrong.

How about she creates a petition to remove said product from the shelves stating that a toy that propagandizes drug use should not be in a children's store and collects enough signatures for action to be taken?

That seems right to me.

She can demand all she likes... It's up to the store to make a decision on whether it's beneficial for them or not to continue to stock the product. She couldn't force them to do anything.

It's like that, I think, because they don't care enough about the topic... If it had been something that they agree with the story might be different. In any case it doesn't seem like many people are able to look at this objectively at all.

14 pages and we finally see some bad parenting.

Good job FFXIAH.com, good job!

I would have posted it yesterday, but got sidetracked with rl stuff.

You should know better that FFXIAH.com > RL!

B...B...But...It's obviously "bad parenting" if that placates "adults" who throw temper-tantrums about their toys being taken away! Let's face it, the real selfishness has to be on the parent/child end! Jeebus people! Jeebus!

Zah did you just assert that it's selfish for one overbearing parent's overreaction to a toy to cause people to not get the product they want to buy and them complaining about the overreaction?

Just checking.

1.You seem to want to believe that masturbation and the use of sexual toys for sexual gratification are the same thing.

2.Do you think Fleshlights should be sold next to Acne cream and Baseball cards?

3. I don't know where you're getting that from, but I would be interested to see how your mind took you there.


Bonus round (getting to your point and not wasting time): Do you recognize the physical and hormonal differences between men and women, as well as the differences in male and female puberty?

Are you asserting that "bad parenting" is an apt descriptor of the circumstances, and not an exaggeration to suit the needs wants of the OP and his outrage for the ***sake of being outraged over what is essentially nothing?

Okay...Just checking.

This entire thread is ridiculous.

These people don't deserve kids. I think I just chipped my incisor watching this sh!t.

For the record: I'm with those that think people should go somewhere else if they have something against the store. That doesn't mean I can't critique the store. Unless of course you're going to imply that by disagreeing with something I am enforcing my opinion?

Good luck with that, we might as well all just toss any opinions we have out the window for fear of being seen to "enforce" our opinions on others.

This thread is even more ridiculous with your "either or", "black or white", "us vs them", "right vs wrong" perspective and attitude.

Hey, don't deny the entertainment value of this thread.

We need another islam thread that spans 100+ pages again....

"53 billion people" is def the highlight for me.

This country you speak of, is it on earth?

It's one very plausible perspective. You're ridiculous.

as usual your confusing action with intent.

yes.. we all know how much good lobbyist do for the nation. They are always for the ppl. So selfless those lobbyist. On a path to sainthood they are.

She didn't demand the toy to be removed without action. She went beyond intent into action.

I think you are the one who's confusing action with intent (the correct way to say it would be intent with action, just fyi).

end the thread already, 8,000 mothers signed the petition and TRU management is pulling all BB toys and issued a statement.

In other news, Season 6 coming?

Why should we conform to your viewpoint?

Haven't you learned anything about this thread at all????

It was a bloody hoax.

Or for that matter, anything about this forum, specifically the P&R section. It's as if P&R's sole job is to let people piss all over themselves and give cause to be stubborn and refuse to look at things from a different point of view.

I would use the Gene Wilder meme on you, but you know better.

Welcome to Humanity, where everyone is right and you are an idiot for not agreeing with me!

Because there are people here who have yet to learn to evaluate or distinguish the differences of needs and wants?

Not at all. Her action of voicing an opinion, or making a petition i have no problem with.

Her intent was to remove product from stores that she personally didn't think were suitable. Despite what any other parent/person might think. - one persons dislike of a toy should not mean everyone must abide to her view of suitable.

Or what's best for the country.
Or what's best for the world.
Or what's best for society.
Or what's best for the economy.
Or what's best for humanity.
Or what's best for ourselves.
Or what's best for me.....

Protip: I could always use another slave, mine keep running away...

I don't disagree with you on either case to be honest.

But at least she made the right decision on her actions, instead of demanding that we must conform to her viewpoint or face the wrath of herself. Unlike Candlejack...
