Mr. Rogers Is a war hero who taught a generation to be themselves and be kind ... HOW DO YOU VILLIANISE THAT?!
Well I agree that you shouldn't tell every child their special but they're kind of blaming him for being nice to kids.
Ahahahahaahahah!
Oh my GOD!
I'm sorry, this is just... *waits for American Mothers to freak out*
But seriously... Has it come to the point where things in USA is so bad that they have to blame friggin Mr. Rogers for the country going to shits? Holy crap! Whats next? Seriously, we have some discussion value here; who/what will the media/government blame next?
Oh my GOD!

Uh....no.
While I know that this thread is going to degenerate fast into nothing but a rip on Fox News, which happens whenever the news network is mentioned, I'll come out and say it right now.
They're wrong.
But not entirely. The underlying premise of what they're talking about is true. These last generations have had entitlement issues, but trying to blame it on a television show is just silly.
That doesn't mean that there isn't a problem though. It just stems from something else.

Trying to blame it on a telivision show is silly, but not television in general. How many kids shows are there that reinforce the message that everyone is a wonderful unique individual? How many Disney-esque films have hammered the idea into our heads that if we just dream it or wish upon a star, we can do anything? This is how reality shows like X-Factor make their money; people these days would rather be famous than great. Ask a classroom full of kids whether they'd rather win a Nobel prize or an Oscar, and the results will probably be depressing as fuck.ShadowKatt said:
Bottom line, we are always going to need people to do boring, menial jobs. People to empty bins or sit in offices all day. When you've been raised to believe your own hype and expect fame and fortune, adjusting to an ordinary life is going to be hard and depressing.
Mr. Rogers was my childhood hero, a man who told me that even though I had lots of problems, I was still special. Yes that sounds lame but for a very lonely and hurt young child, that meant the world. It angers me to see these jerks attacking a man who devoted his life to helping others. So I'll stick to my belief that he is a true hero.
"You're special if you work hard."
No, I'm pretty sure the miracle of someone giving birth to you, and being a person makes you special.
I'm sure most kids don't even remember what was going on in that show besides him taking off his clothes...OH GOD HE'S STRIPPING IN FRONT OF KIDS. EVIL!
Entitlement issues need to be put on the parents. You can't grow up thinking you deserve every little thing in life, if you're parents don't give it to you.
