CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I will let my daughter watch it when she is old enough, provided it still on the air in 10 years, for the reason that "Raven" does not use her "power" for malicious reasons. To the best of my knowledge from the few times previewing it, what ever Raven tries to do usually backfires on her and her friends. I also recognize the show as fiction and know it does not promote ESP, clairvoyance, or other parapsychological abilities. When compared to the colorful images on the nightly news, I will pick a fictitious show about a psychic for my daughter to watch any day.

I don't think it's too big a deal. It's a silly show that's basically full of nonsense. My girls don't care too much about watching it at this point...they're too young to get interested in what a bunch of teenagers are doing. The psychic stuff in the show is not based on any kind of spiritualism...it's just capitalising on that basic human desire to know what's going to happen before it happens. We've all probably randomly wished that we could do that at some point...even if it's just saying, "If I'd only known then what I know now..."
It's up to the parents, but I think Raven is fairly tame.

I don't let my daughter watch it, or Sabrina. They just annoy me. lol There are many shows that I can learn to tolerate, if not like. For one reason or another neither one of those shows has even remotely appealed to me.

Disney....hmmm, let see...
In the beginning someone dies a tragic deatch, gets maimed, or is orphaned. Then the star (or the victim in most cases), overcomes the challenge, defeats the antagonist, finds their own identity....because they believed in themselves.
We don't watch the Disney channel.

Honsetly, andry, you lost me. LOL. It's okay, that happens a lot.
Seriously, I don't see a problem with the show. My daughter is 6 now, so she's starting to look at how other girls are acting. The shows on the Disney Channel are much better than what our kids learn in school. Though it is starting to scare me how some kids movies are starting to have more and more cussing in them. That I don't like.

ROTFL! I think you can count the number of movies (cartoons) by Disney that have an intact family on 1 hand. Admittedly the stories are not original to Disney, but man! where's the happy adventure? Don't watch the Disney channel because of the general dreck on it, but I'm still a sucker for the classic Disney movies (even with the maiming, orphaning, kidnapping, father/motherless beginnings).andry said:

As we all know, every good story needs an exciting plot line....to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds and root for the little guy...well most stories follow this line.
But we have kids. Which changes our expectation of what a good story is somewhat. I have enough trouble and challenge of explaining to my son questions that I don't have proper answers to as it is.
As most parents can relate, explaining death and dying is one of them. Then we pop in a Disney DVD...gee, from the get go, someone dies. And here I was trying to get some work done while my son watches a bit of TV.A couple of the more popular ones (read: highly profitable) are Lion King and Finding Nemo: parents get killed....gee I had trouble explaining that to my son at the theater (he's 4)...."Dad, where's Nemo's mother?
While I'm not saying they're all bad - far from it - I just have access to other choices here in Canada. Treehouse TV is great (although not perfect - what is?).

The only problem that we've had with Disney movies have been the use of magic in them that makes them so much fun. I don't hold it against Walt though, that my daughter wants to dance around with a wand and 'make magic'.
As far as people dying, I guess it could be worse. It is hard to explain though, but death is a fact of life. It IS real hard to find the right words though, knowing that the children just don't understand yet. Sometimes I wish that they never had to, but that darned sin just messed us all up. I guess I would rather have her "learn" from a relatively innocuous Disney flick than the gun fights and explosions on other TV programs. *shrugs* At least then we can have a talk about it without her bursting into tears and hiding under a pillow.
