And I can tell you maybe in your area you don't see the effect as much.

It would be more accurate to say that your area experienced an extreme example that is isolated. To affix the misguided principles of GasLand to Pixar movies is illogical. There are plenty of politically-charged movies out there, especially on Netflix. The fact that your school showed the movie shows the bias of individuals within the school. The fault, in your example, lies outside of the movie industry.

Regardless, lumping Pixar into the same mix as South Park simply doesn't make any sense. I realize that you were personally affected by the GasLand experience, but your overreaction is causing generalizations that are not true. Besides, we are talking about children for Pixar movies, rather than teenagers for GasLand. The correlation you are trying to make is not there.

I've never seen South Park so I don't get the connection.

We don't have a way to prove my area is extream just as we don't have a way to prove your area is doing well (which I'm extremely grateful to hear

)

Everything is a political view. Trying to scrub all traces of it out of a story is tantamount to trying to eliminate bias in a discussion. Both are literally impossible. What you should be left with is a complaint against parents and the public school system, not Pixar.

I can hear that.
If you go wayyyyy back to my first post it sumed up fellings for Pixar,

They gave me one of my favorite movies ever and it only "bugs me sometimes"

I can hear that there is virtually no way to elimanate bias. Now that I'm really thinking about it, I'd say I agree with you.

But I guess that means everything bugs me

My life will be sad

You have said this before. This is also faulty logic. If it cannot be proven either way, then it was improper for you to interject your unproven philosophy as a statement of fact. You made claims about the "true" intentions of Pixar in a variety of their movies in your second post. If you agree now that those cannot be proven, then there was no need for you state them as you did.

Or you could just enjoy life and not let little things like this get to you. If you spend your whole life reading into things, you will miss the bigger picture.

1st part: wasn't planing on it

2nd part: I was making the point that it was philosophical.

3rd part: it was sarcasum

I'm a happy guy

There ARE kids who's only political education came from the media.

Don't try to characterize indoctrination as a "liberal thing," there are people whose only political education came from the pulpit.

Quote from: Jmbeers on July 05, 2012, 04:22:59 PM

I have just seen in my life that kids and students are impressionable and few have talked with there parents in a way that would allow them to Really understand any political view.

Then are these students understanding their view, or their parents'?

Jmbeers · « **Reply #56 on:** July 07, 2012, 01:59:16 PM »

I'm not accusing people of indoctrination. More of like a by product when a child doesn't have politically minded parents or involved parents.

It has happen from the pulpit, but for myself and my denomination it is illegal for a pastor or Sunday school teacher to carry a political view from a teaching position. They can be fired for recommending a vote or view.

This thread has a stark lack of the greatest animated movie of all time: Up!

Bah! Up! may be a fine movie, but is definitely not up to the level of a classic like Batman Begins*.

*Batman Begins is not, technically, an animated movie, but you understand my point.

So you should have a profile pic from batman begins.

Wierd, I didn't mean to start a thread that would turn into a political debate.

The question was only simple to those who are in complete denial about the powerful brain washing force that is The Pixar.

Whoa. When I Clicked on this this thread I did not expect... whatever it is that is going on here.

Lol perhaps a new Pixar thread should be started strictly for discussing the entertainment value of Pixar films lol

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #66 on:** July 08, 2012, 03:27:00 PM »

Wouldn't "The Pixar" be an excellent name for some mysterious (or even dangerous) alien race in STtNG?

"Captain it appears we are being scanned by the automated defense forces of The Pixar."

"Get us out of here, Number One."

That was what this thread was for, hence its placement in "Entertainment."
