Yeah, it's all about "ME". Nobody seems to care how their (or anyones) actions affect the community, the country or even the family.

Yes, my statement about cartoons was in jest. Sorry for lack of smiley. I was always very, very pissed off by the sanitized verions of the Looney Tunes Classics.

And on Tom and Jerry, the old black lady that runs the house has been paled down and given a scottish accent.

that's blasphemy.

I have a couple of Tom and Jerry dvds at home where the old black lady that runs the house speaks CHINESE! In fact there are two different language tracks in chinese, including subtitles in english and mandarin.

I'm going to have to do some checking. I have volumes one and two of the new golden collections (116 episodes, not including extras) and I have to tell you they look intact. They're supposedly remastered and unedited. The extras even include the propoganda films from the war.

Now I'm going to watch every episode and compare them to the notes.

Dammit...

Yup. One of our cartoons is Porky Pig, I think, and it has him talking to Abraham Lincoln about our history. I'm pretty sure that one doesn't see the light of day anymore....

Wolf: Cool page. I haven't seen that one before. Thanks for posting it.

I like the one that has Porky doing the pledge without 'under god' in it.

The system already gave him a second chance. Doesn't look like it did much good, did it? Armed robbery...just a trigger-pull away from murder. It means he would've been willing to kill the guy. So much for rehab.
Or maybe not.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - A 13-year-old boy has recanted his statement that Lionel Tate - once the youngest American sentenced to life in prison - robbed a pizza delivery man at gunpoint, Tate's lawyer said Wednesday.

Mebbe someone leaned on the 13 year old pressuring him not to testify? The pizza guy says Tate and there's also a print on the pizza box ... were they printed up some years back at the prison?

This is why gangs use underage members for certain murders.
