Ban Barbie Doll

Bratz dolls are worse!!!! The clothes and makeup are whorish!!! Not a good image to give to a 10 year old!!!

Oh, yes people really want to look like a barbie! That is completely insane! I personally think that they need to look into why they really want to ban barbies. Seriousaly, they have been around for many years now and thay have done NO harm whatsoever. Geez, calm down, if parents really think this is gonna happen, its simple DON'T BUY THE DOLLS!

As a kid, I was more into the well placed firecracker. Once I did away with the hands and feet I would strap poor Barbie to an M-80. Bye bye Barbie. I'm glad I outgrew that.

Good God! You must have been friends with my brother! I'm glad you outgrew that, too!

Bubble Butt Barbie ?

The company has too much class to do that. Maybe Mr. Eldridge has fat girls and chunkette of a wife, and he couldn't buy them into a local pageant.

Exactly.
Obese Barbie.
Imagine the accessories.
Bring Ken back as Dr. Ken.
After performing a successful quadruple bypass on obese Barbie Dr. Ken escorts her to the local dollar menu drive through.
Amazing how much food you can get for 35 dollars.

Probably not a friend of your brother unless you guys grew up in Chicago. I grew up on the south side. As kids we blew up a lot of stuff. My mom worked in a mob owned restaurant and dated a mob enforcer. Crazy days indeed.

Watch how much more stupid it's gonna get.
If this results in a sales drop for Mattel Toys their gonna sue Jeff Eldride,W.V.,Lincoln County and whoever else they can get into their cross hairs.

and now some whiny sourpuss wants us all to pretend that healthy, visual genetic cues don't matter?
barbie is a doll, an exaggerated cartoon of an attractive human female. and thats all.
maybe your fat kids should lose some weight?

You're fighting the right thing but for all the wrong reasons.

I grew up playing with Barbies. This whole thing is ludicrous. Why not ban all beautiful actors/actresses from being in movies and television shows? No pretty/attractive singers, either, while we are at it. They have more influence over our children because they are REAL PEOPLE!

Please. If a child is messed up "because of a Barbie Doll", there were probably pre-existing issues to begin with.

The problem isn't the toys kids play with, but the amount and quality of time spent as a family. If parents paid attention to their kids, their children would feel more self worth. These problems aren't caused by toys. They are caused by parents being selfish and overlooking their kids.

you don't know her what she does shouldn't affect you. if she's a "good for nothing black bitch" why should it matter what she says. your just wasting your time cause im sure she wont stop and you seem stubbron (not that that's a bad thing) so i KNOW you wont stop either. have fun

To put it bluntly, don't worry about what I do take care of yourself because it doesn't concern you.

How irresponsible is it for a lawmaker, especially during an economic downturn, to sponsor and push a bill that they know has no chance of being passed. I'm sure the state workers who are getting pink slips because of budget cuts are applauding this move (NOT)!

whos gonna read this
but i heard gi joe is
gonna come over to kens house and then they are gonna go over to barbies house and then they are gonna go over to beckys house and steal her wheelchair

I'm 46 years old, my ancestors never owned slaves,(actually Irish people were also regarded as trash)Why should I be punished for things people of my color did years ago? Check out your slave history and you will find that it was Black tribes selling off captured tribes.slavery started way before America was born

the women in my family are spoonfed claire huxtable, mary tyler moore, and various independent strong professional influences.
and somehow i'm a republican.haha. anyway, the only superficial ones are the ones who had screwed up relationships with their parents.. the bundy-type-families.
if you spend more time showing your daughter how to elongate her lashes and less time showing her how to lead men and women, you get what you get.
my mother likes to say "you dont plant potatoes and get peaches"

Your mother is very clever! She's certainly right about that! You have to focus on what kind of people your daughters are gonna be if you don't want another Paris Hilton. Yuck! What a train wreck! Too many parents just let Barbie do the baby-sitting!

Hmmm,...might have something only to do with us from Chicago,...Though I did not really get to blow my Barbie up, she sure was put in some odd situations...Launched from second floor windows, trees...etc.
Though then again, even my brother wanted to blow up my doll, yep, Southside Chicago..must have had something to do with it.:)

Now they want to try and take a parents right to buy their kid a barbie doll. How about we worry about things that can really damage kids like meeting childmolesters on the internet ect...OMG never heard of anyone blowing up a school or sleeping with their teacher after playing with a barbie doll.
How about we let parents decide if they want that barbie doll for their kids.
I would rather see a young girl play with barbie over some violent video game. The only thing that would happen if such a thing passed are parents driving to the next state over and buying the doll or ordering it online he would actually be taking money away from his own state what a putz.
I say fire him for wasting tax payers money on that B.S.

You can try to explain the history of slavery till you're blue in the face and all you'll get in response is "that's the WHITE version of history".
Blacks don't want to know the TRUE history of slavery, because if they do they can't use ignorance as an excuse and they would have to stop blaming the white man. They also wouldn't be able to get any more freebies.
