They answered Britian and Canada? That's just scary. And answering China or Russia just shows their ignorance of the times. The Nazis and Fascists were our enemies in WWII. The Chinese and Russians were Communists, and hated Fascists. (Though you could argue they weren't all that different! ;) )

Yes they do. But they also have the right not to be oppressed or treated unequally (whether they care or not). There are people who would love those opportunities and are denied them. ;) I like the Gorgs a lot too. And I don't think they need to be better than another else in order to be...

You don't have to do anything to make sure everyone is equal. It is simply a fact. Despite what anyone tries to do. ;) I don't think that's the only thing the Gorgs had. They believe in taking oaths seriously and keeping written records of their history and clearly they appreciate music and...

Well that is true, they do put the Trashheap in a higher position, you're absolutely right. :) On the other hand, it's very obvious the Trashheap is sort of special and higher than the other beings and deserves to be treated as such. The Gorgs are no more special than the Fraggles; they are...

I'm not in favor of forcing beliefs on others of course. But just because some people may want something, doesn't mean it's good for them or others. ;) Junior was told his whole life that there would always be someone to boss him around and make him do things when he just wanted to garden and...

The Fraggles don't want to be rulers because they don't want to be ruled, and they extend the same courtesy to others. In the "King" episode they are very eager to point out how they don't think anyone can force anyone to do anything. Even in Junior was a nice king, they wouldn't want one. And...

It's just that one difference between a king and a president is that a king is a ruler simply because of his blood; he happened to be born into that family. Nevermind he is no better than any other human being. And he is ruler whether the people like it or not (generous or no). And us regular...

I mean I didn't every grown up reference on Sesame Street as a kid. But when I learned about them later in life, they had extra meaning for me because I'd learned them first on Sesame Street in my childhood. Keeping kids away from grown up references to avoid "confusion" isn't helping them.

Oh I agree that Pa would probably be bad anyway. But a lot of it was based in the idea that he was better than the Fraggles simply because he was "born" king and therefore inherently better than everyone else. And even with a nice king, there is still the implication that he is somehow better...

"Some slavery feels like freedom." ;) But I would be interested in seeing your story. :)

Sounds like a great opportunity!

The whole king issue is just based on what your own personal opinion is of a monarchy. I have to sort of agree with how they chose to end it on the show. Whether a king is cruel or generous, he is still a ruler. He still rules over other human beings for no other reason than that he happens to...

Exactly, I think both parties have lost votes over the years from being too extremely right or left. Most people just want to go about their lives in this country. They want justice, but they also just want to be able to afford basic needs, etc. Sometimes people chose not to vote, not because...

Sounds exciting! When it gets hard, just remember there are a lot of people who wish they had their own place, hehe. ;)

Ah cool. Yeah I'm fine thanks. :) So what's it like having your own place?

Thanks! I've noticed their catalog lately, they have the most amazing and rare photos for a lot of topics. :)

Welcome back, MN! Hope your job is going well. You were definitely missed around here. ::hugs:: ;)

Cool! I saw the whole 1979 appearance at The Paley Center for Media once, you can tell they were at the real height of their popularity. You can feel the excitment from audience, hehe. :) What I like is that there was adult humor (late night TV after all), but not outright filthy. ;)

Oh yes, say what you will but the Doozers always have very cool songs (or is that Rev? ;) ). "Yes we do, yes we do!" :busy: And you're right, they're at their most passionate when talking about how strict and solid their society is.

Glad you guys liked it, lol. Btw, its creater was the same guy who Richard called regarding his Beaker letter so many years ago. His drawings are always great (Boober is particularly gorgeous in drawing form, hehe). This drawing sort of reminds me of the episode where the Fraggles try to steal...
