i was readin the other day on my lunch in one of our daily papers that there is more violence happening in childrens nursery rhymes than what you see on your television screen // prime time
they say stuff like with jack and jill fallin down the hill and humpty dumpty fallin off that wall is worse than some of the stuff late night viewing shows this is a pretty pointless post i know but i just found it surreal that one day we could all be walking round in cotton wool or bubble balls |

People are like getting their throats slit and being blown up and kids are getting sexually harrassed and shit. Whoever wrote that paper in ur newspaper was just trying to fill up space QUOTE this is a pretty pointless post i know but i just found it surreal that one day we could all be walking round in cotton wool or bubble balls ^whaaa? |

theres a song by korn that talks bout that its called 'Shoots and Ladders'
QUOTE "Shoots And Ladders"
Ring around the rosies Pocket full of posies Ashes, ashes, we all fall down Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head Into my childhood they're spoonfed Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real Look at the pages that cause all this evil One, two, buckle my shoe Three, four, shut the door Five, six, pick up sticks Seven, eight, lay them straight London bridges falling down, falling down, falling down London bridges falling down, my fair lady Nick nack patty wack, give a dog a bone This old man came rolling home . . . this old man came, Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow! Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow! Baa baa black sheep have you any wool Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow! Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow! Baa baa black sheep have you any wool Mary had a little lamb! Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full |

nursery rhymes are actually have subliminal messages in them, well sort of. thats the best word i could think of for it. Ring around the rosy is actually about the plague, they carried posies because they believed it was a protection against it and they burned the dead bodies after they died (ashes ashes we all fall down)
Yeah we spent an entire 2 days discussing this in history |

that is so not true. those nursury rhymes are not violent; they are just silly things for kids. When wiley coyote gets blown up while trying to catch the roadrunner, that is just silly stuff, not violence.

I don't think nursery rhymes effect us as much as TV.
But yes, a lot of them were based on actual events in the past that may have been sad, violent, or cruel. Rock a'bye baby.. On the tree top When the wind blows The cradle will rock When the branch breaks The cradle will fall And down will come baby Cradle and all. Happened a lot in France. |
