Re: [lojban] Lojban Kids' Show
doi selpa'i : even for children... I don't think you'd want to get read of War, the Boogyman, or in general, of things that are not right. If everything's all right from the very begining, there is nothing to do, no compelling story to make. Teletubbies will be for ever lame because they lack a big bad wolf... and what use would be pinky and brain, if they weren't up to take over the world ?
I even suspect that if you don't portray a real negative figure, like an evil clawed dragon or a perverted cannibalistic teletubbie, something worth fighting against, the kids themselves would soon fill themselves the gap of the bad guy (and fancy themselves as some sort of teletubbie nemesis).
The reason is simply that a world were everything's all right is just wrong (even for a small kid). It just doesn't match the way things are (or the way things feel anyway).
So much so, that if you try hard enough to convince someone that "everything is fine" just the way it is (having a job and going bowling on the week ends), that person might well turn into a suicidal mass murderer, just for the heck of it (like those kids in Colombine high school).
Why do you think a fairly normal guy (Anders Breivik) in one of the comfiest countries in the world (Norway) spent years cultivating the fantasy of a muslim plot to take over Europe... why would he want to disrupt so badly the society he lived in ?
my guess is: because "whatever people said", Brevik new there was still something wrong, something that needed unmasking it and killing it. The moron was dramatically mistaken... but I think it is food for thought.
conclusion: please, slaughter some teletubbies before it is too late :-)

Rejection, war, taking over the world.. those things don't strike me
as very positive and certainly aren't things I'd want to be
associated with.
Why is it that every story needs war in it? It's not as if positive
topics were boring, you know?
I always thought of the Lojban community as being very friendly and
welcoming, but all this just sounds very negative, not to mention
you seem to want this to be for children. I don't see why we should
expose children to war, fighting, rebellions, hatred, etc. Instead,
why not focus on ... Love and Tolerance?
