Do you agree with me that Toys R Us shouldn't sell Ouija boards?

I don't agree. Ouija boards don't deserve this urban legend of a reputation they get. Despite popular belief and friends of friends who were supposedly plagued by demons after the use of one... they're pretty harmless.

I had one when I was a kid.

If you don't like it, don't buy it for your child. I have a major issue with Bratz dolls. If I had a child, I wouldn't be buying them one, but I certainly wouldn't be protesting the store's right to carry them.

Personally I think Ouija boards are a waste of time. Sure, they're fun to use at a party to some extent just to see what messages you and your friends will agree to spell out, but that's about it. Besides, I always thought it was about the dead talking to you, not Satan.

What's wrong with people from above coming down to send messages?

If you don't want the kids to have it, like Kelley said, don't buy it. But if you actually protest it and get it "outlawed" from a store, it will just add more to the rumors and more people will be trying to play with them. Don't give the "game" more power by forming a petition against it.

So I suppose the answer to your question is "No, I don't agree.

I would have to say I disagree. The Bible and the history of Christianity are positive proof that "do" and "don't do" laws and regulations on spiritual behavior have a minimal effect on human actions. Your time might be better well spent promoting the positive benefits of avoiding such activity as the Ouija board.

I would have to agree with terced ojos on this one..."Forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. " Non-believers are already screaming about religious "restrictions". Any media attention to the Ouija board could backfire and ultimately increase sales.

Ouija boards have no power. Nor do pentagrams, upside down crosses or any other symbol human beings would like to call Satanic or Demonic.

Demons are drawn to your desire for them not to the symbol you claim is Satanic.

Conversely whenever you put a parental advisory sticker on something or prohibit or forbid something the desire for that item by the populus grows exponentially.

Forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest; actually your perception of the forbidden which is really something that is taking place in your mind makes the fruit taste better.

Kids should be able to form their own opinions about everything. Children are curious -- the mystery surrounding the board is unknowingly perpetuated by those who shield others against it.

One, I think faith in God should go hand-in-hand with respect for other people's beliefs. Following s teachings should be a personal choice, not something forced on you. Secondly, I think banning Ouija boards just proves that you BELIEVE what others say it can do... many people don't realize this but believing in BOTH God and "luck" or "fate" is very contradictory.

Ultimately, the parents decide at the check-out counter. =).

If you don't like Ouija boards then don't buy them.

I just consulted my Ouija board. It spelled out something like "talfonso is a wack job. Something bad is going to happen soon to her or her family.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha!

Primitive superstition. Believing in the occultness of Ouija boards is no more stupid than believing in "God".

In order for an Ouija board to be a link to demons or satan, you have to believe in those things. I know a lot of people who use them in their religious rituals that have nothing to do with evil. This is a free country built on the belief that all people of all races, religions, and gender can live here in peace.

Why try to push your beliefs on others? If you don't like it, don't buy it. We all need to start looking after our own journey with God, and leave others alone.

There is no need for any belief to dominate over another. Remember, we are all created by God, God doesn't make junk, so we are all perfect the way we are. It is the love in our hearts that matter, not the way we try to control others.

Concentrate on your journey and it will be deeper and stronger for the attention.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
