    Qwerty:
    Well 'Please die in a fire' seems like a valid response, but I have a feeling that might be construed as rude.


    Under Rule 1...

    UNless it's at me!

       KEEP IT!!!  What a fantastic and imaginative show. My 18 month old grand daughter just loves this show, as soon as the credits roll she grabs the remote and brings it to grandpa to put another episode on. And, I enjoy it too, it's not only fun, but full of uplifting messages and encouragement to use and enjoy your imagination, take pride in yourself and your accomplishments, and even the accomplishments of those around you. At first i thought Toopy seemed a bit full of himself, but I realized that he just as freely praises the deeds of his friends. It's about time that a show started teaching our kids to appreciate and respect others as well as themselves.
       And I don't consider Toopy as cross dressing. He is exercising his imagination in a childlike way without the constraints that are imposed on it by an adult society, there is nothing immoral or degenerative about it.
     
    As for the religious debate, give it a break, I'm not religious myself, but believe that religions taken in their true context teach good moral values and good life lessons. So many self procalimed atheists and agnostics like to spout out that religion is something that you should decide for yourself. Too true, but a child does not have the ability to make an informed decision if they are not exposed to it and taught about it while they are young. And all to often, it is the "don't force your religious views on me" front that is the most intolerant.

    I agree, I myself am not opposed to homosexuality, but do have a slight issue with the constant reference on the show, Dont get
    me wrong i love the imagination factor in it but at some point reality or a line needs to be drawn(if that makes sense), I have a 3yr old son who
    asked if he could wear my lipstick and when i told him i dont wear it... He seemed a little dissapointed..then asked his dad! so we can see 
    where impressionable kids get ideas for cross-dressing, i believe Toopy and binoo are more concerning than bert and ernie

    Enough! I highly doubt that any kids are going to get 'Gender confused' as MrsMissy seems to think, IF YOU DONT LIKE THE SHOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE REMOTE/ TV AND ALL YOUR PROBLEMS WILL BE GONE! It's seriously NOT that difficult. Enough with this, all parents do all day is read these blogs and post any silly little thing they want. This show was made for children, so unless you want to keep arguing about this silly little poll you should just face the facts. This show was made for kids, which means that it is made for kids so Please for heavens sake STOP OVER ANALYSING THIS TV SHOW!

    Well as I have a 5 yo son...

    I don't think it's creepy at all. My Ds has dressed as a princess before now. Neither DH nor I are bothered. Why should be be??

    IN his 5 yrs, DS has dressed as a pumpkin, Winnie The Pooh, a NASCAr driver, a knight, Batman, Spiderman, a pink unicorn, a princess , a pirate, a fireman, a policeman and many other things. I don't expect him to grow up to be any of those.

    Especially not Batman or Spiderman as that would require my early an violent death.

    As for the make-up..DS has tried out play make-up before and made me up too...no big deal apart from orange toned lipstick does not make a good eye shadow for blue eyes.

    I'm sorry....But editing a post to insult all of us who post here is not a good thing.  In fact CM has edited at least one more of her posts as an insult.

    It's not a flame war , just bad manners. especially as I have already quoted her posts so every-one can see exactly what she posted.

    What constant references???? Every-one who is opposed to this show cites "constant references"but will never point out which episodes and/or actions.

    Err why is a child asking to borrow make-up a bad thing???  DS is allowed to play with the make-up. If he wanted to wear it out, I would have some slight concern but offer some chap-stick. Even ice-hockey players wear chap-stick!

    Having spent 12 years as a parent, I'm used to being told how I should dress/act/paint myself to conform to how my kiddies think thier parents should adress/act/paint themselves... None of it has been to do with a tvshow. Just how they see thier peers parents dress/act/ paint.

    Again....cross-dressing isn't a main part of homosexual behaviour.

    The vast majority of transvestites( people who dress in the clothing of the opposite sex) are.....women! The majority of women who wear pants/trouser/slacks/jeans do so for reasons of comfort and modesty..not to attract other women.

    The  vast majority of men who dress as women are....straight men . Not homosexuals.
    Generally married men with children too...Not HOMOSEXUALS. Sinc e most G@Y men don't fancy women or men dressed as women.

       Not at all. No more than I would have with my grand daughter wanting to play dress-up as a fireman. It's make-believe, a form of play, fantasy. I did it, you did it, we all did it. We all did it differently and with many different characters, but it did not translate into who we are any more than possibly to give us the ability to look at life from different viewpoints and to give us the gift of being able to empathisize with someone else who is living life from a different vantage point than ourselves.
       I would be much more concerned about my child being taught to be yet another redneck who thinks the most important things in life are what kind of truck you drive and how fun quading is than learniing that the real rewards in life come from integrity and honest heartfelt emotions.
       The older I get, the more I realize that the most important, gratifying moments I have had were those that I spent with family, and that those emotions and memories I still retain from grandparents and other family members long gone are infinitely more valuable than the fun I had on a snowmobile. I want to leave my descendants with the same gifts I was given, the abilities to imagine, bring an imagined idea to fruition, to empathize with others, and to appreciate that the other people in your life are what really make it special.
       I want my grand daughter or son to dress up as whatever they imagine at that time, to understand what it means to be that person, to help them understand what they want out of life and help them learn how to get it. And I want them to get what they want out of life while still taking into account their family and the others around them rather than riding on the backs of others.
