Thanks, but have never liked them  Hi Chefmate, I have never liked them either. What are they teaching our young children? We are teaching them to think that it is alright to hit each other and that it is funny. I don't think we should promote violence in any shape or form not even in humour. best no let them watch the news then or read a paper and definitely no tom and Jerry or road runner and certainly not let them learn history and there is nothing more violent than the natural world we cannot keep violence away from our children...but we can teach them to understand the difference between REAL violence and pretend/make believe violence human beings have violence bred into them..its called survival.....what we have to do is ajust to the times we live in....most people can do this....but there are always those who cannot and give in to their natural very human feelings...its when violence controls you instead of you controlling violence that it all breaks down...in general human beoigs are nasty pieces of work..[look around] a good example take a look at a bunch of toddlers...and young children..... |

Hi Fretslider, I never saw a Punch and Judy show except when it was shown in a movie, but I haven't ever found it funny, I do remember seeing Charlie Chaplin and the Three Stooges and do remember laughing., but that was a long, long time ago. With life the way it is today, we should not be so willing to promote violence in any form. I see life much differently now. It is illegal to smack children, so we have moved on, and as it is mostly children who would watch a Punch and Judy Show, I really think it should slowly fade away into the distance never to be seen again.

Hi Fretslider, I forgot to add that kissing surely isn't necessarily a sexual pastime. Mother's kiss their children right from the word go, and chldren kiss their parents and their siblings, so what is sexual about that? It is known as Love.

Hi Mouse, as a child, I only remember being smacked once by my Mother and my youger brother begged my mother not to hit me and the one time my younger brother was smacked I pleaded for him too I can't ever remember my older brothers or sisters hitting each other either. We weren't a violence oriented family. I wouldn't even join in games that were physically rough. Everything had to be gentle, with no rough stuff at all. Should a person even speak in a Sergeant Major voice I am quick to make myself scarce, so you can see how much I dislike violence

my mother only smacked me once as far as I remember..she was a very gentle soul and her sister who lived with us never ever raised her hand..[the one time my mother smacked me I wasn't guilty of doing anything..[she was mortified when a looker on told her what actually had taken place]
I had another aunt who did smack me though..usually on the legs...till one day as she bent to smack me I pushed her over..she never ever raised her hand to me again
at school though I was on the receiving end of the strap at least once a term..
my father never ever smacked or hit any of his children

Hi Mouse, So it is not always the case that violence is inbred, Both my parents were gentle people too And like your Father, my Father never laid a finger on his children everyone was very civilised in our family.
If there is violence in a family what hope have vulnerable children got. Parents are role models, so it stands to reason that if children grow up knowing violence, the odds are that it will be passed on to the next generation, and on and on.

It wasn't the violence but the faces of the puppets.......simply my opinion on the matter.
I never liked Charlie McCarthy or Howdy Doody but liked Lambchop

Movies like Dolls, Child's Play (Chucky), Puppet Master, etc... put a whole generation of people off having any taste for marionettes and mannequins to the point I doubt if there's many here who like Punch and Judy or any of that sort of thing. They are almost as unpopular as clowns!  |

I would have all violent movies banned I avoid them for the most part, but wouldn't try to tell other people what to do. |

Hi Dex, From my spiritual understanding anything that is put out into the ethers is what helps to perpetuate violence in this world, so there will always be violence, we will never ever be rid of it until we think peaceful thoughts.

violence is within us all...whether we choose to use it is an individual choice and as adults
perhaps some of us Never have to use violence
but any group of toddlers will make it crystal clear that violence is within us..
a snatched toy or a stuggle to claim use of a toy...small children are prime indicators
lord of the flies..although a book is a prime example of the veneer of civilised behaviour
into days world its refugee camps which indicate behaviour when all lawful/religious and societal constraints have been taken away from adults..
when its survival of the fittest violence becomes first tool...whether its shown by tossing people out of lifeboats as on the Titanic and other sinking ships
or the pecking order in prisons
the execution of those who beliefes differ
or the getting rid of political opponents....
violence rules..in war or peace
