Kaj and Andreea is fantastic! I'm Dutch but my wife is Danish. She does her utmost best confronting our kids with Danish TV (we live in Holland), so I understand a bit of what the author is on about. I was initially surprised as well. Truth is, it _is_ entertaining! But most importantly, once you get past the absolutely amateuristic way things are shot (hey, the kids don't care, why should you?), there's a lot of dep…

Here in Australia we get a mix of US and British kids shows (on ABC Kids, have no idea what is shown on commercial channels), and its trivially easy to pick the US ones because they are dripping in morals, lessons, and such (and are also terrible ). I've started describing it to people as: British shows are designed to entertain first, and perhaps kids can learn something, whereas the US approach is THOU SHALT MAKE S…

Get some copies of the classic Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry 1940-1950 for example. (not the sixties it all goes downhill, the drawing isn't as good, they begin talking, too much characters).

Had the same thought but it's just not that easy. She's at an age where we are trying like hell to convince her hitting isn't the best option, so showing her things like "Hillbilly Hare" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9SrXRNPRCA ) aren't the best idea. She's actually in love with old Pink Panther cartoons right now and it's amazing to see what we used to watch: smoking, violence, a lot of shotguns.

I'd appreciate if the author tried a little harder at interpreting childrens television from a childs perspective.

If we are all made in his image, a bit of him must have been gay, trans, fluid, etc. etc. Or is this not how it works?

You really ought to get to know some Mormons ;) (spoken as a former believer). One reason some groups, like atheists or evangelicals, are so vocal is because they believe that the damage done to society by others not sharing their beliefs will be irreparable. This is why beliefs and decisions need to be rooted in reproducible evidence, rather than the reverse.

There are many kinds of evidence that are not reproducible.

There's proof of electrons... Your screen. edit: there's also proof of quantum effect in the real world.

> There's proof of electrons There's also proof of God: to borrow Sir Christopher Wren's epitaph, si monumentum requiris, circumspice . I don't mind a little atheist boy proclaiming his disbelief in preschool, but I wonder how his father would feel about a little religious boy proclaiming his belief in that same school.
