Really glad things were better for you this week, Sara! My week was good but now I'm getting sick lol. I hate having to cancel my plans. :p Lol Oh well, back to drinking my tea! :attitude: (Sam seems like he drinks tea, right?

I do identify with the "on a different planet" feeling, heh. Anyway, I just pray for the boy who was killed and his family, it's truly awful. And also for the boy who did it. Perhaps this will eventually be a lesson to him and/or to others in the future. There is always hope. :) Btw, it's...

I did want to say that, while I do think society has a real growing problem, there is still good in this world. The thing is, it's like Kermit and Liza sang, "When it all comes true just the way you planned, it's funny but the bells don't ring...it's a quiet thing."...

Yeah I think the cyber bulling is mainly happening among younger kids. There have always been cliques and teasing and isolation, but instead of it ending when schools ends, kids go on the Internet and find the bullies have followed them home. Contrary to popular belief, the US does not have a...

Aw no problem! ;) Don't want to dwell on this too much, but I agree with what frogboy said on that thread, I can't imagine being a kid today with all the new technology. And I thought bullying was bad in my time! (or in Richard's time when you couldn't even deliver papers without someone...

Aw, it's OK. Sometimes you can't think of anything to say, especially in a tragedy. Or sometimes it comes later on. In ancient times before the Internet, it was enough to just read the article. ;)

Yeah it's awesome, I wish I still had it on tape (Or better yet, that Disney would put it on DVD! :coy: ). My favorite is Floyd and Janice's duet. I remember seeing the show around 1994 and randomly thinking "Janice has such a cool voice!" Lol. And then the next sketch was the Muppets tribute to...

Of course it makes perfect sense for Beaker to be in a foreign film, since English is clearly not his first language, hehe. Oddly enough though, even in Swedish, he's a meepster! :eek: Not sure if the popcorn lady has a name. She was just in that one scene I think. Hmm... Wouldn't you love...

Oh I have definitely felt the same way! Especially with all the cyber bullying. I thought things were bad when I was a kid! It just makes me cry to think of the pain kids are constantly going through. I have a mixed mind with guns. It's probably too easy for certain people to get them. But on...

Well, my big question is where are they getting their hate and insecurity (no one does things like that unless they're unhappy).

Well yeah that IS a big part of it! ;) Hmm, I'll think a bit on this one...

That's one side of the argument, yes. The other side is that just because something is new, doesn't mean it is working. And just because something is old, doesn't mean it needs to be changed. I think it's been a good debate, but I guess it's off topic, so I'll be heading off. :) But just...

That is truly horrible. Contrary to popular belief, kids are not safe, nor are they being taught well or supported in this country. I like that Ellen commented on it, though I partially disagree. I agree that pop culture's humor about this topic goes way too far sometimes, and it's considered...

Again, I really don't mind change. It's just that there's a difference between further developing the character and changing it completely. But I think this is a very complicated debate that won't end any time soon, lol. :)

Here's another one. I ADORE this one, from Sam's narration to Kermit's entrance (which leaves me in hysterics each time lol). I saw this at The Museum once and a little girl asked her mom who that Muppet was who playing the angel of death, lol. And now that great foreign film, Silent...

I think that's probably true of some kids. And it was probably true of kids years ago. But that doesn't mean we can simply say "Kids won't like this." It's just not the way the world actually is. Parents still buy their kids older material and kids still enjoy it. Experts keep claiming there's...

Ooooo, nice tie in, Count! I guess they'll be a shortage of crumpets in Florin soon. Ta da! ;) That scene is just pure Muppet silliness "Why me? I'm not the strong one." "No, you're the stupid one!" Lol

Definitely interested in seeing how this paper turns out! Anyone ever seen The Muppets Go to the Movies? Definitely an underrated special! Here's one nice Scooter filled moment (congrats to Richard and Dave for getting the tongue twister down!): http://youtube.com/watch?v=I5v97L6QiXs I saw...

Yeah kind of a Purist and New-ist split, hehe. I guess for the most part I'm a purist, but also capable of acknowledging when something new is good. Parts of VMC and MWO were actually nice; it's just that they're not the same as the original three.

Oh I've been there! I put up with a lot of clique-ish nonesense from girls and prefered to hang out with boys. Of course, some attempts were successful in this area, and some weren't. Boys often go through that cruel phase of not liking girls, heh.
