The pussification of the United States

So... I came across this article that basically says animated movies for children are bad, and as parents, we should be careful what we let them watch.  The article mentions Bambi, The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and others.  Seriously????? Bambi?? Finding Nemo??   I watched Bambi as a child with no lasting harm... hell, millions have watched these movies with no lasting harm.  What is with these people?  Oh noes, dey killed bambi's mom, Simba's dad, and Nemo's mom...BFD. We can't protect our children from life itself.  Look, when shit happens (and it will), if they don't have some reference to base their life experiences on, then they are going to be shit out of luck.  Life is sometimes hard and unfair.  These movies teach kids from an early age that they can overcome life's obstacles; or as they say in "Galaxy Quest," never give up, never surrender.  If the trend keeps on this path, we will have a nation of pussies, if we don't already.
