My problem with Eddie


He should not have those rap CDs. He's freaking 11!

reply

I did. Nobody checked the MA tag on them in 1995.

reply

I don't see the problem, it was different era in the 90's, which the show does well at times to portray in an amusing way.

reply

bruh, are you like from a super conservative family or what?

reply

You think that's bad? It's the 90's, I grew up in the 90's, I am about the same age as the real Eddie and this was nothing compared to where I'm from. Florida as a less restrictive gun law in the 90's than where I'm from but the murder rate is very similar in the 90's, and theres 100,000 less people here. The 90's is lawless compared to now.

Eddie is a real person and this is his story. They aren't going to write the CD's out or change them because it shapes who he was and probably still is. It's where he gets his personality, wardrobe and ideals just like most people during their generation.

I was watching R rated movies at age 5 and never had restrictions on movies, games or music. That was something that nerds parents did.

reply

Nerd parents were the ones who bought their kids lunches (not the Agriculture Dept.) Nerd parents try to teach boundaries and appropriate voice decibel levels. Nerd parents have kids who have health care and don't see half their friends in trouble with the law.

reply

Yup. I thank god I had "nerd parents". :-)

When I was growing up in the mid 80's, my friend bought a cassette tape with music which had at that time, suggestive lyrics. When his mother found out, she told him that he knew, that she didn't want him to listen to that, I think it was Rap, so she told him to throw it away.
