dominique:

Do you know there's p.orn in cartoon form, is that meant for kids too?

I won't recommend Ben 10 for children under 12 years old cos of the violent scenes. Even the dialogue is not something an average 5 year old will understand. As much as I dislike teletubbies and the likes, I enjoy watching my two year old sing and dance along with them. We have to be careful about what our children watch on tv, most of them are moulded by what they watch.

You dislike the Teletubbies? What is your heart made of?

sam4xadams: I watched sponge Box square paint n penguins of madasga. my Lil sister love it so much that I fall in love with it too. strange isn't it

Not at all, I am a big fan of Nickelodeon animations. 'The Mighty B' has to be the wackiest cartoon that I actually like.

Penguins of Madagascar are just crazy. Julian should get an Oscar and Emmy. #LOL

Cartoons like Ben 10 aren't good especially for young boys. It teaches them that violence is the solution to all problems.

And it constitutes a major reason for the violent tendencies in grown up males.

Of course. This makes sense. Gbaky, next thing you'll say Ben 10 was a cultist, that he is a junior viking or axeman.
I'll say it again. RAISE YOUR KIDS PROPERLY.

Before i had my baby, i vowed i d never let my children watch dt cartoon. I remember i once ask a friend why she allows her son watch dt 'thing'. How can a kid turn into a monster all d tym? It quite horrifying. I make sure my baby watches educative ones like mickey mouse, dr. Mcstuffings, Zou, e.t.c all on disney junior. N they r quite educative. That 'ben 10' encourages violence.

The cartoon is meant for teenagers, not children. Children cannot understand the content. The talk dating, kissing, other things not meant for children.

Phonon: If you had even mentioned "The Simpsons","South Park", "Family Guy" or "American Dad", then one would have considered this newsworthy.Mtscheww.

Those cartoons are meant for adults only.

@ topic, there's ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with Ben10. I got to watch Voltron, Terra-Hawks, and even Star Wars as a kid, and I turned out alright. As a matter of fact, these programs fuelled my interest in aviation.

Now Barbie is a dumb one.

na wa o. the ben 10 character is a kid and thats why our kids try to duplicate the stunts he pulls. good old voltron was made of steel n not human. that's my issue with ben 10 he's too real to kids.

switzan: Adults should always check the kind of cartoons dat kids watch. I came across a collection of cartoon thru a friend and it was all porn, can't remember d name, and it was combined with dem lion king and the rest
Yes, we once got one of those 7-in 1 cartoon DVDs about 5 years back with Lion King, Beauty & the Beast etc. Only for hubby to walk in and see a sex scene showing. He broke the DVD and that was the end of buying those.

Bottom line is we as parents have to scrutinize the contents of TV programs for our children and wards. My children are now 10 and 8, and have never been allowed to watch Cartoon Network because I also believe many of the cartoons on that channel are not children-oriented. There is a variety of other channels that offer age-appropriate educative, informative and entertaining programs for children. #myopinion

Most cartoons contains violence..

Voltron
Naruto
Tom and Jerry
Power Puff Girls
Dexters Lab
Space Ghost
The Amazing Spider-Man
Superman
Batman
Ed, Edd and Eddy
Flintstones
Etc

So I guess you non violent parents need to subject your kids to watching only shows like;

Barney and friends
Bob the Builder
Thomas the tank engine
Etc

Also, most boy toys like guns and things too should be avoided and replaced with teddies and Barbies.. grin

In the end, when your sons grow up to be queers, you would turn around and blame society.

Then the likes of Tom and Jerry shouldn't be watched since they involve doing lame stuff, like jumping from a balcony.

In which film did the sex scene start showing? And did the sex scene start as your hubby walked in or it was already showing when he walked in?

personally, I wouldn't encourage children to watch cartoon networks( violent or not). most of these cartoon programmes/movies can be linked or associated with demonic activities. in cartoon movies, you will see different kinds of occultism symbols that can actually corrupt, influence or even possess little children to act like those characters in the carton movies. A friend of mine is currently carrying out research on the effect of carton programmes on children. And currently the result is seen now is full of negative impact. So tell me, are cartoons not part of the Illuminati instruments? if YES/NO, give your reason.

This what most of you are getting wrong. Ben 10 has a child as a major character unlike cartoons of olden days.

Kids are bound to feel if Ben 10 can do this I can because they are in same age grade: if Ben 10 can disrespect his grandfather all the time, disobey rules, fight with his female cousin, beat up/destroy those whose ideals are different from his then they too the kids can.

I have taught children below ten years and I was shocked at the actions they carry out which were imitations from media products.

And to those of you claiming you turned out alright, all I have to say is that your choice of words in addressing someone whose opinion is different from yours connotes a violent tendency.
