Thomas - Train of Terror?

[modelbob]

Uh, yeah, sure...

The children's hit television series Thomas the Tank Engine shows too many crashes and may be making children frightened of going on a train, according to a British psychologist.

Most children are clever...

I think that Mr. Brain Young speaks( a very little bit) the truth...Yes there will be just some few children on this entirely globe be frightened because of the accidents BUT, and that is what I think, the parents of these children are responsible for what and when these children watching television. So if the child's nature showes that it is frightened just don't let him/her look to these kinds of"Terror Accidents" or even better watch it together and talk about it: Children are not stupid!

I used to laugh at crap like that, but now realize where it's taking western civilization. How are the growing number of people who believe garbage like that going to maintain the free world down the road. Unbelievable!

Put ten kids in a room and give each one of them a small train set.

Within a short period of time, 9 of them will have combined their sets just to be able to stage "crashes".

It's the TENTH one who needs the psychiatrist!!!

Darrell, quiet...for now

Right and maybe Bob should delete the thread Derailment on the Black Lake Southern before it has an influence on our younger members.

Darrell =just to be able to stage "crashes".

Yes I saw that happen, the problem was that they were my trains, oh! well
The physiology problem began when they gave these shysters credibility in the courts, now when a kid gets hurt on a playground they have to bring a bus load of these quacks in to council the whole school.
I'll admit some things are horrific, but one incident I recall while in the third grade was a house burned down with the seven children inside,(they all died) some kids in our class actually saw them at the upstairs windows, a short discussion of about 5 minutes took place in class (the kids were allowed to tell what they saw), then it was books out and start the lessons for the day. Maybe we were a tougher breed then and didn't need the jackasses and their ideas to handle situations. Now as I understand it from a friend of mine the phsyco course starts with the study of animal behavior, " gee it's too bad they didn't learn a thing from that"

Ouch I think I just got hit by a Train. In our day it was too much of The Three Stooges. My parents use to say that watching them would put to many bad ideas in my head. Well I can't remember the last time ihit someone in the head with a hammer !!!!

But we grew up with a sense of right and wrong. Todays kids are raised by the TV, thou IMO bein afriad of thomas .. is a wee bit far fetched. Now the constant violence thats always on tv is another more worrysome prospect
