Keyrock Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Milo can be hilarious or infuriating, depending on your political leanings (sometimes he's both). Obviously everything he puts out needs to be taken with a grain teaspoon cup bucket of salt. I've gotten my fair share of chuckles out of him.

Amentep Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seduction_of_the_Innocent Those who do not learn from history etc. If you've read Seduction Of The Innocent, then Wertham's problems are stated there, by himself. While its nice that modern research has shown up Wertham's research for what it was, in the book itself he says something along the lines of having determined that comics were causing the increase in juvenile delinquency because all of the kids coming into his practice for help read comics. This was without regard to the fact that for many years 90% of the kids were estimated to be regular comic readers. Its like saying wearing shirts caused juvenile delinquency. Its also worth pointing out that the CCA was as much a chance for publishers to destroy their two biggest rivals (EC and Lev Gleason) as it was trying to keep from being further scrutinized after Gaines' disastrous appearance at the Keffaufer hearings. But there are a number of flaws when we look at a lot of these "this media is going to warp your kid" studies. One I remember from the 70s or 80s involved proving that cartoons inspired kid violence by having kids watch cartoons and then giving them a balloon clown and showing how the kids were more likely to be more aggressive with it. They forgot to mention in reports on the study, however, that the clown toy was a toy "punching bag", its whole purpose was to hit it, so kids were determined to be aggressive for interacting with the toy in its intended manner. 2 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yeah, even when THEY write it, uncensored profanities censored by the board system will still be removed. People have been thrown in moderated status for consistently posting uncensored pics in other threads, like the funny things thread, in the past.

I don't think I've ever been on a forums where there is pretty extreme profanity censorship...in addition to that censorship policy being stringently pursued and upheld...and yet there seems to be a virtual free for all on trolling (and troll-like behavior)...and even outright flaming is allowed to some extent. What an odd forums I am on. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
