Heh...my parents would have just laughed, knowing I could pretty much do my own sifting of reality vs fantasy. I forget how many people really think there is something to it, and therefore is the work of the debil.
I'm so glad my 'rents let me learn stuff on my own.

It's cuz you both played with the Ouija and the debil ate your brains.

I'm sorry, I can't even begin to take concerns about a Parker Bros board game seriously. People are nuts...
Here's Part 1 of Penn & Teller's Bullshit episode on Ouija (2&3 are related links)

That seem a bit disrespectful. You know Parker backwards is rekraP, right? Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I object to it, but not on religious grounds.
Any word with that many vowels in it is clearly Unamerican. I recommend you give the girls a proper, patriotic American game to play. Like Monopoly. |

I agree with you 100% Jinx. Even as a kid I thought this game was silly and totally useless as entertainment. It does however, give an excellent example of how the human mind can be tricked by group hysteria. Ah well...a part of the human condition we will NEVER escape.

I'm not sure, but I think I'd leave it up to the kids to tell their parents/decided if they wanted to play etc... maybe ask the kids if they think their parents are ok with it.

I'm not a parent so I'm going to say one more thing and then quit.
"Hello? Oh hi Mr Sneebles. What? You're highly upset that I let your daughter play with the debil's game? Oh, I'm so sorry. But, Mr Sneebles...it's a fucking piece of pressed cardboard with some shit picture of letters and such glued to the top and a piece of cheap plastic that is made in a fucking toy factory so bite me, Mr Sneebles. Oh, you won't let my daughter play with Priscilla anymore? That's good, I don't want her around your stupidity anyway." Then Mr Sneebles could sue me for everything I'm worth, which is nothing. And probably why I'm not a parent.

If I have to deal with living in this illogical world, then they can deal with my logical ideas (whenever they have the inconvenience to encounter them) without throwing an entitled hissy fit. In fact, I hope they have a problem, and want to talk to me about it. I'll be glad to have that discussion. I actively reject the idea that we should tiptoe around people's stupid superstitious hogwashery. It only encourages them.
