I'm told there are also some troubling parts in To Kill a Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies too.

I take it you haven't seen Young Frankenstein? Cuz, that scene, among many, was kinda funny.

I wonder if those gifs would be as amusing if they were little boys? George II Mar 2021 #52

For me, both would be. sheshe2 Mar 2021 #53

That scene was removed in 1931. They found it and put in back in the 1980's, made a big difference Autumn Mar 2021 #54

Was it violence or not? Did she drown or not? George II Mar 2021 #55

In real life? No she didn't drown. It was a movie George, pretend, make believe. Autumn Mar 2021 #56

Autumn, you'd be amazed how much real life violence is the result of "pretend, make believe".... George II Mar 2021 #57

Here's what I know George. Violence, love, death are all some things that happen in Autumn Mar 2021 #59

Why do you say "Inflicting pain and threats pain on a child for punishment is violent.... George II Mar 2021 #37
