I wasn't attacking the man, I was just saying that going back and looking at the show now, particularly the posted clip, was creepy.
Any of you thinking I was trying to attack him can fuck off and die - that wasn't the point and I won't let the thread spin out of control on a misconception. Lock - hell delete - this thing before people get even more confused. _MaH |

Mr. Rogers was a good guy. He helped give lessons to millions of little kids. He did it without flash or violence. He did it without selling DVDs and rock concert like shows like the wiggles and other crap my niece watches. He didn't espouse some left wing bullshit like many kids are fed now a days.
Guys like the dudes on the Wiggles charging outrageous prices to their shows are far creepier. I am not going to get all bent out of shape over this but Mr Rogers was a good guy and I don't think he deserves this insinuation. Especially in this world full of really evil folks Mr Rogers has done no harm. I just noticed. I am far more concerned about people over the age of 12 reading and watching anime... Seriously... |

Seriously... +1 There is NOTHING that indicates that Mr. Rogers was anything but a good upstanding man who dedicated his life to entertaining kids. He certainly did more for kids than the OP ever will, and did it all without getting rich of living any undercover decadent life. |

It's a shame that the fucking monsters that prey on children have screwed up everyone's personal radars so bad.
Its a shame really. Contrast one of his (low key, gentler, respectful) shows with the frenetic, hyperactive shit that passes for children's programming these days. |

I can see the concern for pedophilia, as pedophiles are rarely suspected until they're actually caught, but he seemed to have been the gentle-type his entire life, including childhood.
Combined with the lack of any accusations over his entire career, which would have been a give-away, Mr. Rogers was the real deal. |
