Mikehall12382 glad to have another arguement with you 🙂 Abe is right, I didn’t choose ‘marry poppins’, I actually asked for ‘perfect in everyway’ and somehow ended up with this. Secondly, I did watch Mary Poppins and most Disney movies and loads of other ones up until a few years ago. And I am against movies because besides for the gross content, it is also a HUGE waste of time. Same goes for secular books – it’s an escape from the real world. I defnielty feel that people need to relax and need to have an outlet, however, I think that there are much better ones than sitting a wathcing a screen for 2 hours and coming out of it with absolutely nothing, except maybe bad eye sight and somethng to distract you while you’re concentrating on shmone esrei. If you go To Yerushalyim you will see loads of happy and healthy kids who do not even know what a TV is and manage to have fun regardless. I don’t think Im’ being extreme- I think I’ve come to the scary realization that life here is very short and can be taken away from us at any time, and we need to take advantage at every moment to be a better person and strengthen ourselves and others in our Avodas Hashem.
