Great Letter in Newspaper (From 10 Year Old!) About SpongeBob

[GiovanniC]

My pal, SpongeBob

I have seen on the news how certain people are calling SpongeBob gay. I see little kids all the time holding hands on the playground, but does that make them gay? No. How come people don't make fun of football? The guys there smack each others' butts. But people still let their children watch it.

If I were to describe some of the people I know, I'd describe them just like SpongeBob. They are always nice, loving, forgiving people. It doesn't matter what other people think of what you like; it's what you think of things and how they are. So maybe people could just lay off SpongeBob and pick on something else for a change.

1. Children are so much smarter than we give them credit for

They may not use big words, but they often "get" things that we as adults miss.

7. And if you lie to them, they won't thank you for it

The rebellion of kids who have been hurt by the lies of the religious freaks running this country right now is going to make the 60s rebellion look incredibly tame.

3. YAYYYYY!!

Even 10 year olds can tell what a sham this is!

Does anyone have the retraction from Dobson on the whole incident?

4. Bravo! This kid is more intelligent than many adults in this nation.

"So maybe people could just lay off SpongeBob and pick on something else for a change."

That's an excellent idea. How about we start with the Economy, Outsourcing, or the fact that Bush is President.

These are actually problems which need a solution.

5. That crazy ass guy who hated Spongebob

...actually did the old Sponge a favor. I never watched it before, but simply because of him I sought out the program. I found it charming, just the thing for the youngsters on a miserable day when it is too cold or wet to go sledding or skating.

10. How true

Kids are so much more tolerable and not brainwashed (yet). How sweet and so true on football and little kids.
