One Million Moms Want Same-Sex Archie Comic Out of Toys 'R' Us

[Tiger Sora]

So parents can't get off their ass' to explain to their kids about gay marriage, but they will to fight against it. What kind of dumb %#^ is this.

I also don't see many parents fighting against the over sexualization of some kids toys. So they get bent out of shape on something thats lost all sanctity (Not due to gay marriage but all the divorces). But they're fine with their little girl being a whore.

....... I for one await our new alien or robot overlord! 2012 for best year ever cause I'm tired of hearing this shit.

Yea, because it's on everyone else to read an entire thread for the possibility that someone retracted a dumb comment they made 6 pages ago.

You don't want people responding to it, go edit it out. That's what the functions there for. Correcting the stupid in your posts.

Or you don't jump to conclusions and actually realize when seeing a thread that is six pages long that it is quite possible that the opinions that people have at the beginning of the thread might not be the same ones they have at the end of the thread.

LMAO

... Seriously? That's how you're going to play this?

You said something stupid, if you don't want people responding that go put an addendum at the end of the dumb post. It's not on anyone else to provide you with the benefit of the doubt.

I expressed an opinion, and later retracted it, you jumped in a middle of a thread and your surprised that the original conversation had concluded. I guess I can't expect much from you.

Ok The claim that this is going to corrupt youth is 100% completely without merit. Not because exposure to homosexual relations dont bring up inappropriate questions in children, or because homosexuality is just as natural as any other sexual predilection. Its because no child anywhere within the last 50 friggen years has picked up an Archie Comic book. Not even by accident or to move it out of the way of something they want to see. Seriously. its Archie. Honestly im surprised they actually have a non bubblegum wrapper format since the 1980s.

However, there is a degree of merit of a parent wanting to be able to take their child into a public place and not have their children directly exposed to something they didnt even take notice of. Im sorry but last I checked parents still have the right (though its been severely diminished) to raise their children the way they wish. I get very tired of seeing people who view anything less than pure acceptance and love toward homosexuality as an automatic label of ignorance or narrow mindedness. Not wanting to see homosexuality on every tv show, film, kids show and any other form of inappropriate and gross over representation is not ignorance or intolerance. Calling these people as such because they do not agree with your personal world view does not make it factual.

So yeah, lets try to act like adults and not call people names simply because they dont think like you do, because, yeah, thats fairly intolerant and incredibly hypocritical.

More junk to fuel the Escapist hate machine. Again, why is this front page news? No I don't agree with the million moms but (without knowing anything about the Archie Comics) this seems like just an attention grab from the comic that was successful.

I like how you're trying to play this one as if you've got any kind of high ground here. Moral or intellectual.

Not surprised the conversations over, at all. Surprised you think it's alright to expect people to comb through an entire thread to make sure YOU retracted YOUR stupid.

Like I said, it's on you to make sure people know you retracted the opinion. No one else.

But you don't get that or you don't want to admit that you get that. So I guess I can't really expect much from you.

Yeah its not to much to ask for you to follow the conversation if you want to comment about something I said, I'm done.

People have the right to respond to a post that they disagree with. If your retracted your statement then it is your obligation to go back and change it, otherwise be ready for people to keep quoting your controversial post.

Don't see the problem, parents should be able to limit what their kids see.

Well, then kids shouldn't be let outside, because whenever I walk down the street, I see promotions for violent movies/games/tv-shows/music or promotions for fashion/tv-shows/movies/music that appeal to sex, not to mention the commersials/shows that are on TV.
Or the news. Damn, the NEWS! Children shouldn't be allowed to watch the news.
Or read the news.
Or actually, go to school. Then you have to interact with other people, and they might you know, share information.

Edit: And more OT..What do these moms mean when they say "children shouldn't be bothered with what is hard to understand."? How hard IS it?
How about "Hey, some men love men, and some women love women, and they can get married too. It's about love."? Seems pretty simple to me.

I didn't say sheltered, just that parents should be able to control what subjects toy stores expose children to.

Then parents can vote with their wallets and go somewhere else?
If Toys R Us released a new GI-Joe action-figure, why should we allow that? Should parents have a say too? How about an easy-bake oven? Should parents have a say there?

No? Because these things aren't "offensive"? Well, neither is homosexuality.

It's not about homosexuality, it's about sexuality in general. Kids do not understand the idea of sex and until they do there's no need for them to be made aware of it regardless of orientation. There's nothing offensive about homosexuality but kids aren't ready to learn about homosexuality anymore then they are ready to learn about the ins and outs (heh) of heterosexual sex. You're thinking about this in an adult/teen manner, not a kids manner.

Also, the dude has an opinion, don't ram yours down his throat.

Dude, it's an internet forum, if you are posting your opinion here you damn well better be ready for people to disagree with and to tell you so, especially when said opinion appears to be in favor of censorship. Also, your right Kids don't understand sexuality, which means they don't link marriage to sex, it's just marriage.

I don't give a rats fanny about the conversation, I was pointing out the stupid in your post. Don't want me or anyone else to do that in future? Addendum or GTFO.

Your moms not here, its ok to swear. Anyways, I'm done.

You said you were done last comment. How am I ever going to be able to believe anything you say from this point on? You've obviously got no conviction.

Also the 90's called, they want their joke back.

Awwwwww shit... I just went all 00's on your ass!

your right, I should have kept that comment to myself, I take the first step by not commenting to you on this thread anymore.

Again, what about those of us that don't think homosexual marriage is the same thing as heterosexual marriage? Why should we have children's material deal with this subject if we don't want to have them exposed to it?

Then don't buy it form them. When you try to stop other, sane parents from buying it for THEIR kids, however, that is where the problem starts. You are trying to make the choice for everyone else based on your own closed-mindedness, which is why, to answer your question above, telling you "If you don't like what they sell, don't go into the store" is different from "Don't let them sell it."

Hmmmm Wait.....THIS!?!? THIS is the big deal over a comic?
Out of all the things you'd think mothers would complain about a comic, would be things like:

-Excessive Violence
-Nudity
-Religious Over/Undertones


But no. They complain about a guy getting married to another guy in an Archie comic.
Yet none of them bitched about how much of a man-whore Archie is when trying to balance the two chicks craving his affection like a couple of rabid mongoose fighting over a snake.

[HEADING=2]So here's my opinion on this whole subject
