   This is what they push on children today. Do you really think this is normal?

     @lain@lain.com Yeah I really don't get the people at all who say that today's cartoons are not suited for children.
     
     Have you seen old cartoons?

     @lain Well back then the looney toons weren't made for kids. :cirnoShrug:
     
     
     [Age segregation also is a fairly new development in animation as well, according to animation lecturer Robert McKimson Jr., whose father directed 35 Bugs Bunny cartoons and created Foghorn Leghorn, Tasmanian Devil and Speedy Gonzales, among other characters, for Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes.
     
     "The Warner cartoons were aimed strictly for adults--they were never meant for children," McKimson said.
     
     Warner cartoons and other animated short subjects (Disney characters, Popeye, Tom and Jerry and so on) were screened for audiences of all ages at movie houses before the feature presentation. But when television began packing Saturday mornings and after-school hours with those classics during the `60s, many were trimmed of excessive violence, sexual innuendo and drug and alcohol references.
     
     Or, as McKimson puts it: "They chopped the hell out of them."] Chicago Tribune, 2002

     @SuperDicq @sj_zero I don't even know what the purpose of captain plainet was because it never ever ever showed anything in a way that tuaght you a real lesson. like I remember there was an episode about the ozone layer and a villain made an air conditioning plant on antarctica where at the end of the assembly line it just sawed the assembled air conditioners in half to release the CFCs to destroy the ozone. wwhat are you supposed to learn from that?

     @Moon @SuperDicq @sj_zero you learn that that is how gdp is increased even if the resulting output is entirely useless and even harmful

     @SuperDicq @sj_zero Captain Planet had an episode about overpopulation but they were too big of pussies to use humans so they used anthropomorphic rats.

     @sj_zero@social.fbxl.net All ideas of 90s era environmentalism were pretty terrible actually.
     
     Most people didn't believe in climate change yet and they thought all we had to do to save the planet was recycle waste and reduce our "personal footprint".

     That show was annoying because it was about Southern California, and a bunch of the crap they talked about has nothing to do with many other places.
     
     "Save water!" If you're in the everglades or on the shores of Lake Michigan, there's no such thing as saving water. You're taking water out of the environment, using it briefly, then returning it to the environment. It's a renewable resource.
     
     "Save power!" If you're living somewhere that's entirely fed by renewables like hydroelectric, there's no real need to save power. You're not burning coal to keep that light on, you're relying on some water flowing through a dam.
     
     "Stop smog!" If you're not in a valley where pollution is kept in one spot, smog isn't really a thing. This is an L.A. problem, maybe a couple other cities, but it isn't a global problem.
     
     "Don't cut down trees!" If you're in an area that mandates that trees be replaced after they're cut, then wood is a renewable resource. It's not a big deal cutting down new growth forest then replanting new trees, and in fact under some circumstances that could mean a negative carbon footprint (for people who care about that sort of thing) since you take wood and semi-permanently put it somewhere it's not going to degrade, and then start growing a new forest pulling new carbon out of the air in the same location. Not everywhere is old growth amazon rainforest.
     
     Environmentalism need to be a local thing, because most environmental issues are local, not global.
     
     anyway, that's my rant. Welcome to my TED talk.
