Fantasy is just something pathetic to keep children happy.
Do you agree?

Plato comes up in times like these. Personally poetry of any sort is healthy.

Some fantasy is not for children at all...

I agree, the Bible is not fit for children.

You're probably right.

Everything that isn't a dry documentation of facts is to some degree fantasy. The best works of fiction actually ascribes mythic qualities to common objects and occurences as a way to deliver on theme.

A good point. I will take it onboard.

Fantasy is keeping us sane.

Of course. We are bind with the rules and expectations of the society. The only freedom is in fantasy. And if there hadn't been fantasy there would be no visionaries, no progress, even no philosophy. ;)
Focusing on the fantasy in books (since this is ''books & comics'' segment)... as great author said: ''Some questions are too big and can't be face elsewhere then in children/fantasy books.''

"The only freedom is in fantasy." I deny this.

Fantasy = ''made up'' = a product of your mind
Denial = decision made on the consideration of pros and cons = a product of your mind
Your denial = Fantasy ---> You can only be as free as your mind.

Do not argue with a woman? :D

Yes, madam, "man is freedom" but a child is not free.
