well shani: i think, in all fairness, those types of things might be part of the list that filtherton would say is sort of obvious...
i think this is compounded by the fact, at least in context of the discussions we tend to have around here, by the effect of news-type articles having the tendency to highlight the extremes. cnn picks up on a kid who chopped the heads off of 42 passengers on a united air flight, then we read cnn, and we come here and argue about it.
i think i learned something of what you're talking about, filterton, when my buddy had a beautiful little baby girl and the next thing i know, the fucking wiggles and tickle me elmo are on....all the fucking time. hard for me to understand, as i have no kids...i'd prefer they be reading books on philosophy or the like. which is completely ridiculous. theory => practice. i think it's a lot easier to judge others' parenting in a vacuum...when you're not keeping up with your own little varmits.
