Would twooffour actually being a parent have really changed whether his thoughts on the idea of refusing to allow your children to see things based on your opinion of them are valid or not? Whether he's actually a parent I think is irrelevant, for this particular situation at least.
His overly-lengthy and mostly condescending tone aside, I agree with twooffour. Shielding your kids from certain movies and shows just because you don't like them is just completely absurd.
Well, thanks :)
You seem like a friendly fellow, so can you explain me this: why does the length of posts come up as an issue so often?
Setting aside the fact that my posts here, save for one, are hardly longer than zombie's contributions, it seems to me that the accusation of length is mostly brought up with a clear implication of "wow, you're really angry and upset about this aren't you, why don't you get a life" as an attempt to disqualify an opponent in a discussion (I guess the fact that more thorough argumentation, information and example citing can make a post longer conveniently doesn't count here) - either that, or as an excuse to weasel out with a tired, cheap "tl;dnr".
Often, 5 comments in a row on Youtube is automatically perceived as "angry" and "obsessed" for some reason - a length that would amount to little more than a quiet fart on any regular forum :D
