Well,funny you'd mention M&Ms, but I do actually avoid red ones. Which I guess
might sounds as silly to you. But there's a reason: red ones are not vegetarian.
Subtle difference, of course, but it's there to illustrate the semblance of
point I'm coming to: people perceive differences in a, erm, different way.
For some M&M colour matters, for some the
not-looking-too-much-like-a-present-day-weapon matters. (An for some the
spelling of 'color' matters)
That said, on the topic of weapons, I'm not too fond of them either - although
I'd tend to tolerate ancient more than modern ones, I guess. So it's sad, in a
way, but it's not the weapons which will make the kids go violent. And as
someone said, kids will use non-weapon pieces to mimic weapons anyway if they
want to. (Well, I have no kids, so I'm not really an expert on the subject).
And I don't mind weapon parts as much as things that actually shoot (Bionicle) -
that's much more bothering to me.
