Talk:Liberal indoctrination

Seeing the link about Climate Cops on the front page made me look for something like this, so I created it when I saw there was no such page. Please feel free to add more! --WPalmer 19:11, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

What exactly does it mean to "ignore" the Pledge of Allegiance? HelpJazz 18:34, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

It means to downplay it or skip it entirely in class. You know what I meant. Don't play semantics here, please. --WPalmer 18:47, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

If I knew what you meant I wouldn't have asked. Don't get short with me, please. HelpJazz 20:02, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

While I may never buy this book for my kids its not an example of liberal indoctrination. People are allowed to write books on whatever they like and still more people are allowed to buy whatever books they like. Its hardly an indoctrination if you can choose not to read it.

I play D&D, and Magic The Gathering. They are nothing more than Dice and Card games respectively. The statement that they open the path to amorality is conjecture. In D&D, you have the option to play villains, but it's only acting and the players know that. Dungeon Masters have a habit of making it hard for players of evil characters. In D&D, the questing knight, the valiant monk, the wise sorcerer are the good guys. Those are the people you want to play. In regards to M:TG, you cannot say they will lead to amorality any more than you could say that poker and blackjack lead to it. Therefore, I wish to remove that portion of the article and have more contributed to the indoctrination of children in public schools. No one mentioned it is a shame that our tax dollars pay for turning our children into immoral liberals. TheHeroExcelsior 09:50, 11 August 2009 (EDT)

Many people play these games; how does that in any way disprove the assertion that they are tools which teach moral relativism? You mention that the "questing knight, the valiant monk, and the wise sorceror" are good guys. What sorts of acts do these "good guys" engage in? In most games I've seen, the answer is murder and robbery--justified by "We're the good guys."

As for "harmless card games," are you suggesting that games like poker and blackjack can't help foster amorality and outright immorality? Doubtless that's why Las Vegas is such a bastion of Christian virtue and decency. I personally know of at least one incident in which a child who played one of these fantasy card games was attacked and robbed by an adult because the cards he was carrying were "rare and powerful." --Benp 10:07, 11 August 2009 (EDT)

Have you heard of the Paladin Class of character? They can only be played from the Lawful Good perspective. They are obligated to defend the weak. They must tithe all of their earnings. They must choose a patron saint to devote themselves to. The card games themselves are not responsible for the player's actions. Those belong to the player alone. Anyone who attacks a kid over cards is sick in the head. But he could have just as easily stolen something else. This is NOT the card's fault. TheHeroExcelsior 10:15, 11 August 2009 (EDT)
