Bang Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 What a waste of time. So we can give all the boys and girls all the positive self image they can swallow, and then when they're older and the pretty people move ahead of them, then what? Fact of the world: Attractive people have advantages. Considering that is how it is, I can't see how this clown can pin all of that shallow fact on Barbie. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Harris Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 i heard him on wvpr this morning. he basically said he realizes this has zero potential to go anywhere, but he wants to make a statement. very much a waste of government time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#98QBKiller Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 ps. you live in landover, so don't throw stones. Lol I was going to say the same thing. No one from Landover should be calling WV a good spot for a landfill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACW Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 The Barbie Ban Bill, proposed by Democratic Delegate Jeff Eldridge (D) Lincoln County, says such toys influence girls to place too much importance on physical beauty, at the expense of their intellectual and emotional development.Seems like he knows PLENTY about lack of intellectual development :dunce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurrayH81 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'd say the parents are as much to blame, if they cannot find the time or the ability to love their children as they are, and help promote a strong sense of acceptance of both personal and cultural reality. [but that's my take as a male parent of two daughters] A toy is a symbol of something, typically fun times using your imagination. If the kids are puking up their food, so they look all thin like Barbie, I have a hard time accepting that is the fault of the doll. Apparently there are no pressing governmental issues that require resolution in this Reps district, so they ought to close shop for the year and this guy, can just resign.

EersSkins05 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 We need to ban WV as a state. What a waste of perfectly good space to use as a landfill. I think the energy industry would very much disagree with you. As would the branches of the US military, under whom West Virginians disproportionally serve. Every state has its fruity legislators with dumbass legislation that comes through once in a while. This is an example of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
