Who brings their family to an active mining operation?

I could see a picnic outside the mine entrance or something but bringing children into an already dangerous series of mine shafts as a general "bring your family to work day" sounds borderline silly.

:D

If I lived in a world where turtle-people chilled out around campfires not two miles away from my home between their attempts at eating me, I'm not sure I would think twice about taking a child into an active mine.

Vana'diel must be a pretty horrid place to live, honestly.

Shows like Rocko's Modern Life and Ren&Stimpy could never get FCC approval today. You can't say damn, crap, kill, die or hell on children's shows. Then look at TV shows from around the world including Japan where death and violence are normal. Then American parents want to turn around and say cartoons inspire violence whilst other countries have more violent programming and have overall less crime. Oh no, god forbid someone says hell or makes direct references to death. I remember when Gundam Wing came to NA back in 2001 and Duo's battle cry from the Japanese version "The God of Death is back from Hell!" was replaced with "The great destroyer is back again!" for the dub. If that's not cringe worthy, I don't know what is. Or when Vegeta is barraging the Cooler army he shouts "Eat shit and die!" in the Japanese version, expressing his frustration with how the clones keep regenerating. In the dub they replaced it with "Why won't you be destroyed?"

Teaching children that nothing bad ever happens creates adults that aren't prepared for the real world.

Merely looking at "provocative" images of women that "seem underage" on the internet is illegal and can get you sent to prison in the UK. It doesn't matter if it's real, or a drawing, or she's actually 25, nor does it matter if it's an accidentally typed URL or a popup, it's still illegal and can land you in jail.

But it's not as bad as Australia where images of small breasts are banned because the government believes that looking at small breasted women is the gateway to pedophilia apparently.
