  1. While nice, I hardly think kids these days would want this as a Christmas gift or would really care that much. Kids don't care about this stuff these days, do they? Huckabee is another one of those Rubio and West types, big fakes. Dreamers and living on a different plane than most of the rest of us live on.
    Do you all really think kids these days would like this?

    10 Reasons Why Handheld Devices Should Be Banned for Children Under the Age of 12

    By Cris Rowan

    The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Society of Pediatrics state infants aged 0-2 years should not have any exposure to technology, 3-5 years be restricted to one hour per day, and 6-18 years restricted to 2 hours per day (AAP 2001/13, CPS 2010). Children and youth use 4-5 times the recommended amount of technology, with serious and often life threatening consequences (Kaiser Foundation 2010, Active Healthy Kids Canada 2012). Handheld devices (cell phones, tablets, electronic games) have dramatically increased the accessibility and usage of technology, especially by very young children (Common Sense Media, 2013). As a pediatric occupational therapist, I'm calling on parents, teachers and governments to ban the use of all handheld devices for children under the age of 12 years.

    Following are 10 research-based reasons for this ban. Please visit zonein.ca to view the Zone'in Fact Sheet for referenced research. [See http://www.zonein.ca/zoneinworkshop/fact-sheet/zonein-fact-sheet/ ]

  2. We're not talking about hand-held devices...this is a DVD that you inject into a player. This is for parents who want to give their kids instructions, at an early age, about their faith. This is where they should learn about Christianity...not from you atheists.

    God, what in hell is wrong with you?

  3. I'm am atheist who celebrates Christmas a folk tale of hope.

    The other day I happened to be in a place where there is a large nativity display. A friend of mine, who happens to be Jewish, said he'd like to put a big fat menorah in the middle of it. There was a display a few feet away with a menorah and some dreidels on it, but that's not enough for this guy.
