First up: Porky Pig and Uncle Sam in "Old Glory"
And then Tom & Jerry in "Yankee Doodle Mouse" I'm sure either or both will be seen as controversial. Feel free to discuss.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

What a better time to reflect on the sorry state of US, NYC, and Queens political discourse:
In the rest of the world the politicians are afraid of the people.
Here the people are afraid of the politicians.
Tom & Jerry was a very violent cartoon and had nothing to teach besides that mice can survive dynamite explosions. I wouldn't show it to my children.
Cartoons in the 1940s weren't meant to "teach." They were meant to entertain.
Give me a Bugs Bunny cartoon any day.
"Tom & Jerry was a very violent cartoon and had nothing to teach besides that mice can survive dynamite explosions. I wouldn't show it to my children."
And I believe that is part of the problem with how kids are raised today.
This response is to Sergey's comment.
Funny... I was fully entertained watching Tom and Jerry, a cartoon that utilized action and music rather than words to communicate the story. While growing up there was always a kid or two who immigrated from elsewhere and they struggled learning a new language. We were taught by our parents to make friends and not to discriminate. Tom and Jerry, Roadrunner and several others involved few or no words and everyone could understand and get a chuckle when we would gather around the TV set as kids. It bridged a gap for us. We didn't go out and blow up cats or mice and I certainly didn't replicate any "violence" depicted in these cartoons upon anyone. We played with water guns, cap guns, Lone Ranger pistols on a holster that you would wear proudly with a cowboy hat around the neighborhood while riding your Green Machine as if it were your steed. We were taught discipline at home by our parents and we respected our elders... or else! You knew that when you were in trouble your parents meant business! Now you have X-Box with graphics that are like real-life war scenes and action, kids with no fear of their parents therefore no sense of respect for their elders, they are all wired with earphones, a touchpad at their fingertips to surf the web and find it acceptable that kids shows on Nickelodeon depict kids sassing thier parents and shutting the door of their room in their faces and this is OK? You're telling me that you can't let them watch Tom and Jerry? But most parents equip their kids with all the gagets and means to find themselves lured by a predator online or play violent games on their game consoles. Bold and few are the parents that stand their ground and don't give into the requests of their kids for such devices when they whine and throw a trantrum saying, "But all my friends have them and you're ruining my life because I'm an outcast" To anyone who stands up to their kid, GOOD FOR YOU because it's not easy! I think Tom and Jerry cartoons are the least of anyone's worries these days.
Sincerely,
Foghorn Leghorn
.... by the way, "I keep my feather's numbered for just such an occasion" LOL anyone remember that episode?
Notice no "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance at the end of first cartoon.
