when i was little Nickeloden used to show 'are u afriad of the dark.' there was also some random show called 'eerie indiana' which im pretty sure was also geared towards children

i never watched indiana (well only once, something about headgear that picked up radio waves) but i used to watch Are you, and even though it was all mellowed down for kids it scared me then, and would most likely scare me now

do they have shows like this now? im pretty sure no, now its all sponge bob. im guessing its the same reason as to why Beavis and Butthead were cancelled.... then again

i rmemeber a few years ago i was watching the news. some man was suing his daughters elementary school for having a book in the classroom. the book was about scary stories, and there were small pictures every few pages or so. i guess they were kinda scary. well he siad he chose not to expose his daughter to that kind of crap, and then she saw it at school and now is emotionally scarred..

so whats the deal with that? do they want their kids to grow up to be pussies?

one might say 'well he'd encounter that sooner or later so may as wel now' but where else would a person encounter horror... except with horror? i mean, the ratio of ax wielding men with a skin mask to normal peopel is very small.im sure most of us will never encounter one of those, or aliens, or a kiler clown

just a thought.
