Fairy tales...good or bad?

[NastyNickers]

I don't think many parents are sitting with their kids saying "don't ever engage in a conversation with a talking crab fam. They be the Taliban."

I bloody hope not. Sebastian is Jamaican. He’s more likely to be Posse than taliban.

This is exactly my point about why conversations with kids are necessary to combat social stereotyping.

Thank you!

I’ll have to ask Sebastian if his nickname is taliban next time I see him.

Got to make the distiction between fluff and the nature of characters. Similar with history. If you believe there whee 6 million jews in Europe in 1939, that could be construed as a fairytale and a harmful one at that. However if you think of why Good and not so, then the nature of brownies becomes evident and a reason moth balls are used. It was the Greeks ( bible was translated into and from) who placed the Earth at the centre of the Solar systems illumination. In the 11th.c the middle east know the Earth is a sphere, it took a further 600 years before Capernicus, and Galileo where vilified. And a further 300 years for their names to be cleared. Darwin didn't invent taxonomy. And you don't need a space ship to be an Astronaut, jump : ) or walk through space.

Thanks Nucks, but what denomination is that?

Anglican, they separated from the Catholic Church about 500 years ago. Heard of the Archbishop of Canterbury? He’s the head guy, although the Queen is officially the dark overlord.

Ahh ok thanks nucks, i''m not familiar with all the different religions.

Are boys/ men scarred by fairy tales? Do they feel they have to go round rescuing damsels in distress? And do they think kissing said damsels works?

(Are they surprised when it doesn’t?)

I have been stood mind my own business having a beer and next minute had a tongue shoved down my throat on many occasions.
I must be a frog.

Or having one of those drinks with a worm inside.

More like an over active imagination

Not at all, proper tongue --which always led to good times.

...and Raven lived happily ever after...

(We’re talking fairy tales here, not porn tales).

No...No raven is definitely telling fairytales

Why does she feel the need to tell the world?

Sick of stupid SJW actors why think their opinions are so important.

Whether you like it or not Ray fame does bring responsibility and a need to behave, not that Katie Price seems to worry too much about it, but this is a just case of Keira just giving an opinion --which I don't agree with but I recognise her right to an opinion.

I can envisage Mehgan and Harry's parenting being followed avidly in the future, and their kids will probably believe Cinderella because their mum will be a living personification of that fictional character.

You need help if people look to hollywood for a moral compass. Fairy tales are make believe and Hollywood is make believe. Would you expect Tom and Jerry to be show you right from wrong?
And if Keira Knightly is that adamant about it maybe she could hand back her salary from making fairy tales and prove just have strong her stance really is.

Are you devoid of common sense? I ask because it seems you actually believe that some of us believe make believe.

and yet you expect us to believe your own Ripping Yarns

Avatar was an excellent fairy tale.

Avatar was an excellent fairy tale.

More of an allegory about the big bad Europeans and the Native American Indians.

Any repelled invasion in history more like, the tall blue pony tail fuckers in Avatar won in the end.
Native and South American peoples and Aboriginals worldwide were wiped out.

they didn't seperate, anglican is catholicism with the Monarch as head of state. Presbyterian seperated and have been vilified and undermined ever since, WeAreThePeople. Techhnically presbyterian are the only lawful ruling colloquial Estates Noble and Clerical and Burgh.

For the most part religious dogma is a moot point. The peramiters where established long before the first records identifying gods appointed by God to govern the affairs of humanity. That isn't govern over. More along the lines of influence.

Fairy tales are just that, 'tales'...spinning for our entertainment.

No!!!

Don't tell me the bible is fiction too!

There is more evidence supporting biblical events than there is evidence of the moon landings or the quantum realm, E=MCC is incorrect in the same manner you wouldn't use a jack hammer as an engraving tool! Such a shame that so few people have an interest in real history. Our ancestors had larger brain capacities the any human has today. Reading the first book of the bible is not far off you explaining the mechanics of a combine harvester to a 1st.c Celt. They will know what it dose and could learn to use it. Replacing or reparing broken parts would require far greater knowledge
