And if you are to drunk you will be prevented access to the plane in the first place.
So do I. But that doesn't mean I have a piece of music ready for every possibility. Although when I listen to music it mostly is classical. And it might well be long stretches of time between listening to music. I have never listened too much to music when not in a car, since having music on just wasn't something that happened often in my childhood home unless me or my siblings put something on. Probably stems from how my grandparents appears to think that all kinds of recorded music is too newfangled for them and instead either have silence or hire somebody to play live music. Same goes for car trips with them; there is never any music and instead you either talk or sit in silence thinking about the World. And my mother most certainly to some degree has inherited that to some degree. And I again have inherited it to some degree.
You think I am damaged?Nice try
How does that work?
So you discriminate against Danish culture?
What is wrong with this?
By the way they made many lille Per movies---something like 8 in the original run in the 1950s and then I don't know how many in the later runs. This is from the Christmas themed one from something like 1956. That Christmas elves song is legendary and something every Dane would be able to recognise instantly. Do you find anything wrong with that?
And here is a clip from another long running family movie franchise. It is called Min søsters børn (my sister's children) and originally run in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It too has got later runs.
Here you have Pusle singing a song; sorry for the sound being poor, but the other clips I found included the stripper performing just before Pusle decides to sing. (While the stripper doesn't remove every single piece of clothes I still don't think it is allowed to post.) They are staying in a brothel in Austria in that part of the movie; can't remember what happened that made them unable to live in a hotel. Or if they just thought the brothel was a hotel. The following night when they still are staying there is a police raid...
I have watched all the original lille Per and søsters børn countless times as a child and I didn't end up strange so no reason to block Danish culture from your child on that account.
What is wrong with it?
By the way IIRC that episode was made around the time I was born and was included in a book with pictures from the show and the story for small children to be read from. They produced loads of those books due to the popularity of the show (in the end something like 200 episodes were made). It holds an 8.2 score on IMDB for instance.
You know full well what is wrong with it.
If you already know the answers to your questions, then why ask?
Reported for trolling.

No I don't. As I already explained earlier it has nothing to do with ministrel shows and hence I don't see what is wrong with it.
Are you saying that you're impressed. or surprised, or what?
Here's one on a theme near to your heart!
You might even enjoy Jethro Tull in their softer, English folk-inspired moments. Better yet, you might like Lincolnshire Medieval/Renaissance revivalists The Amazing Blondel. Do you dig harpsichords, pavanes and that manner of things? You're in luck!
My parents and grandparents welcomed technological progress.

Maybe?
It's a caricature that kind of verges on the grotesque. I don't understand most of the lyrics, but I tend to doubt that they improve the educational value of the routine.
No, it looks like fairly typical Christmas cheer.
That's not like you. Being ok with deadbeats such a prostitutes and the like, I mean.
There won't be any Legos, either! Or those cookies that come in round tins! And the name Hans Christian Andersen shall not be uttered chez nous without a curse!
(That was a joke.)
I have to admit that I don't know when it's the proper age to teach a child about Denmark.
That is not for kids. That's for older people to watch when they're on drugs. Compare with American "children's" program H.R. Pufnstuf. That's right, "Pufnstuf".

Never.
Or after traumatic experiences when you can tell people that it could always be worse, they could be Danish.
"What's Denmark?"
"Oh, a lesser Norway".
"Eat your broccoli. Think of all the Danish kids who have to subsist on naught but pork lard and herring juice."
I plan to sidestep the Danish question with my children by relabeling Denmark as "Northern Germany" on any map my children see. I think it'd be better for them to grow up in an aDanish household or at least one that is Danish agnostic.
I'm at a complete loss as to how to teach children about a place where slavery existed and the psyche is still afflicted by the memories of unsuccessful war fought in the 1860s.
So I guess approaching Denmark will be a very thorny matter for those reasons.

Oh great, now you reminded me that I also have to convince my kids that the "lower 48" means the lower 48 provinces of Canada and that the US is just the Southern part of Canada.

At least in the United States, minstrel shows used to make fun of black people, their culture, and their features through exaggerated caricatures, at a time when black people were still really badly treated- e.g. around the time of the civil war. It seems like some of your videos showed similarly exaggerated and inaccurate caricatures of black people. These caricatures often, in the US, treated black people as though they weren't people, but rather hilarious, brutish, primitive and often exotic subhumans; this is pretty clearly racist.
However, minstrel shows are different from some of your videos; they focused on black people in slavery, while your focus on indigenous black people. These are somewhat separate vectors of racism.
If your videos show black people and their culture as primitive exotic subhuman phenomena, then they are racist. But I don't want to debate whether your videos are racist or not; just saying that this is the way an American would probably interpret them.
For an academic perspective, see here regarding the three pillars of white supremacy.
I don't want to argue; but nevertheless here is the theory if you wanted to know.

Easy, you just hand them a 1,000+ page APUSH textbook and make them take Cornell notes. Oh God, why did I sign up for this?
Ha ha, your mom!
I'll toss out 4 possibilities.
1. Your parents made/pressured you.
2. Part of your identify derives from achieving greater academic success than the average student.
3. You really do enjoy learning for its own sake.
4. All of the above.
#2 and #3, actually, and I really like history in particular.
And also planning for the future and college. And I like achieving things and feeling like I've achieved things.
But also, summer homework suckkkkkkkkkks so hard.
Because reasons.
I actually enjoyed the class. Never took notes, never did homework, walked away with an A and a five.
Do not do this.
