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?

Okija_juju: 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..

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

Kaycee7: So you people will go to work, leave the T.V to raise your kids and then come back to talk shit. Ben 10 is violent? Demonic? About Revenge? Wonders shall never end. Yet every kid can watch Dumebi the dirty girl.
Let me tell you, if you don't raise your kids yourself, noone will.
Ben 10 that swore no sacrifices in his quest against the Highbreed. Ben 10 that fights mainly robots and aliens. Ben 10's parents that rarely appear in a season and who Ben 10 cares for and respects. I hate arguing with, with, with, idiots. Watch a show with a mature and unbiased mind before talking nonsense.
Finally, advice.
A. Ben 10 and other action toons is for kids in primary 4 and above, that should be 8 yrs and above who can tell the difference btw animation and reality.
B. Japanese Anime is strictly off-bounds for pre-teens. Its too complex for them.
C. Raise your child correctly and when he grows, he will not depart from it. Try as much as possible to guide your kids as they watch their shows and explain certain facts to them.
Apply the above and stop making idiotic assumptions and accusations against a good show.
Thanks and GOD bless.

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.

gbaky_floor: 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.

steph7: eeerm, what is wrong with ben 10, y'all shouldn't tell me its demonic

Mustay: Most of us are thinking as adults, not as children. Just because we 'survived' the acrs or scenes in such cartoon doesn't make them.less harmful. Children are 'innocent' and inquisitive.

I'd want a child psychologist or those in education to come sum this up. I've listened to them and when they educate you, you'd be amazed at how wrong we thought we knew better. Until then, lips sealed before I am called an alarmist.

Kaycee7:
So what do you suggest kids should watch? And where is your friend getting his info?

Interesting question..it was the beginning and my kids (then aged 5 and 3)told us the characters were 'fighting'

Kaycee7:
The beginning? Are you sure you didn't buy p,orn?

peppy luv: She bought a porn covered with cartoon pix,blame pirates for that!I made that mistake and mine was d pix of Don Moen all over d cd plate!

OreofeeOluwa: It is not a good cartoon.just too violent.my little cousin when he was 2, watched ben 10,went to their balcony,a storey building and jumped down from there trying to imitate ben10. thank GOD nothing happened to him.that cartoon is evil

You are spot on with your last paragraph.
You can't be saying you turned out right after watching violent/abusive cartoons as a kid when you can't express an opinion as an adult in a public forum with simple decorum.
Truth is that media in any format is impressionable to all minds, whether kids or adults.
We are all aware of how Al Pacino, in the movie 'Scarface' glamorously planted the f-word to millions of people's minds all over the world in the 90s.
Advertising is a billion dollar industry because of it's power to sway your behavior, even as an adult. Tobacco/cigarette advertising had to be banned completely.
As per the Ben 10 and the rest of them, I believe they should be rated PG13, unlike what is obtainable today in families where they are being fed to infants (under 5s).

Funny thing is that the DVD had Lion King and other cartoons in it along with that particular one

Tobiegal: Depending on the age of the child, i really dont like the program.

Its not educative and its pretty violent.

My boy is 2yrs+ and he loves Ceebees.

Cheers

Kaycee7:
Ben does not always disobey his granddad. And when he does, he gets punished. Ben quarrels with Gwen but has never fought with her. Ben fights aliens that are destroying the city and saves people and infrastructure when he can. Seriously, whats your problem? At least, be truthful in your criticism.
A. Write out which media products were influencing those kids.
B. Quote some violent posts me and my fellow cartoon advocates have made or apologise for that false accusation.

i did same as a kid, after watching spiderman, and ended up with broken tooth and in an emergency ward.

AjanleKoko: I don't like Ben 10 or Pokemon.
Really dumb cartoons. I wonder how they became huge franchises

gbaky_floor:

Violence isn't just physical scuffles but display of aggression. Take a look at the sixth-seventh lines of your post, don't you think your choice of words come out as aggressive and in fact can incite violence.

Fights doesn't necessarily mean physical blows: actions of Ben 10 and Gwen towards each other can be termed as a fight.

Ben 10 saves people? What about those he destroyed? Isn't it against most laws of countries not to take the law into your hands. I can equate Ben 10 actions with the actions of some Nigerians who burn/kill criminals.

Why do you think people no longer wince at the site of violent scenes? They rather take pictures and upload it online as if they are shopping.

Frequent exposures to violent, pornographic, racist etc media products have been found to have effects on most adults talk less children who are easily impressionable.

I am not against cartoon: I frown at parents allowing their little kids below ten to watch certain cartoons that are meant for teenagers. That is my personal opinion and it shouldn't stop you from allowing your kids to watch them. Neither should it give you the avenue to be condescending.
