Topic: disneyworld, etc.

i never understood the fascination with the disney films.  even as a child, i found them weird and unsettling.  not just snow white and all that, but the live action films.  and i have never understood the fact that adults go wild over the disney films, considering how boring and pandering they are.  of course, with the information about mind control, now i do. 
but i've always suspected something was...off, about the whole disney thing.

and i have never ever wanted to go to disneyworld/land.  some of my friends, most of my cousins, they have all gone.  it was like a rite of passasge or something.  but i never wanted to go. 
and my parents seemed to have no interest in taking me.  i figured that it had something to do with the monetary cost of the trip, so i never pursued.  maybe at one point i wanted to, because my friends and family had gone, but didn't make a fuss.
part of me thought that i would come back home, but wouldn't be the same.  like i would have been initiated.
but i didn't want to be initiated.  i don't like groups.  i don't like clubs.

a couple of friends joined "the knights of pythias" in college.  they tried to get me to join, to sign my name to their application.
i said, "hell no.  i don't want to join a fraternal order."
my wife has a friend that is in "the rotary club".  she went to a dinner with that friend one night.  when she came home, i asked her about it.  she said that it was ethnically diverse and everyone was nice.  she said that before dinner they all stood and said the pledge of allegiance.  i said, you didn't did you?  she said, "yes.  you had to."
or else?  i didn't say that, but i thought it.
you HAD to?  i don't get HAVE to.
i don't know where this is going.

are all these clubs and groups part of the big picture?
i'm glad to be a loner.

This is a list of how many pies Disney has its fingers in...

I've always felt the whole Disney thing was a little creepy, too. It's definitely a mind control tool, starting with the Mickey Mouse Club and going on from there, right through to the silliness of shows like "America's Funniest Home Videos." In that show, there are undercurrents that border on child exploitation that I find disturbing. You'll miss them if you don't look closely, and most people don't see them at all--just cute kiddie antics caught on film. It's not so much the videos in and of themselves--and not all of them--but the way they're put together and presented to the public that bothers me. It makes me wonder, once again, what we're being softened up/conditioned for.

And I don't think I'm just being paranoid... though anything's possible, I guess. smile These are just my observations. Total: $.02.

Myself, I don't watch ABC anymore, and I've never been drawn to the Disney parks either, though I have friends who are completely obsessed with the whole thing. I just don't get it... But then again, maybe I do.

Here's to being loners, Tengberg!

Cheers

Re: disneyworld, etc.

Personally myself am a fan of the whole Disney thing. For myself growing up Disney-Land was an escape from reality, and still to this day visiting the theme parks gives me a sort of peace of mind from all the chaos.  What it really comes down to I think is individual perception.  Sure Disney may be corrupt or whatever the case is, but what isn't?

Re: disneyworld, etc.

I've never really been into Disney films because I've always found them to be either boring or bizarre. I do however like a few, like Beauty and the Beast to name one. I was never into the Disney theme parks and thought they were overrated, overcrowded, and overpriced.

From deeper insights:

Disney was quoted as saying: "I want people to forget they are watching animals."

Be careful that your kids never fall into that damned tv/cinema world.
TV is not a nanny.
I mean tell them stories, don't put them in front of the tv.
Even though they're too young to understand, it is soul nurishment for them.
No book either! only you, telling a living story, living the storytelling.

Re: disneyworld, etc.

The notion that specific cartoons whether it be Disney, Warner Brothers, etc are rife with symbolism and others aren't is absurd. Show me something, anything that isn't symbolic; as above so below, as within so without.

Mom:"Psst, it's been 12 years and he hasn't mentioned Disney"
Dad:"Shuush, that's ok, sure we give him everything he needs,if he doesn't mention it that's fine, we could save the money we spend going to Disney and retire happily or buy a small island."
Mom:" Yeah, I suppose and we would have a little left to buy him a car when he's 16."
Dad: "Yup"

That and every other theme park in the world that ever existed, exists or will exist.
Agh but sure they love it and we love them.
