You don't know what Wildman has threatened to do to the networks.
In addition, a network cannot have it's license pulled. They are not regulated. They could have on the air stations at risk that they own, but the network is out of the picture. So the Senators can rattle sabers, but essentially they are toothless.
I agree. However such an argument only goes so far. Its orgs like the AFA that keep TV from getting completely out of hand. With free speech comes accountability. Christians don't tend to make much fuss over the hundreds of insults directed at them on TV each week, but they will stand up when they feel a TV station has gone too far. My only concern is that they do it in a legit way, instead of the way the Libs do it.
Why all the drama? Drama gets people talking.
Good, I think that's the correct way to go about it.
I agree with you; the AFA is getting more and more involved in stuff like that, and after a bit, nobody is going to pay attention.
The American public is getting fed up with this trash on TV; let NBC give the waiver; let the whole world see what trash they are willing to put on.
Amen! Move to the head of the class, friend!
The dixie chicks and madonna should tour together so they can 1/2 fill a theatre.
Bump to that!
Madonna better get herself fixed with a lightining rod.
A wise man's heart is at his RIGHT hand; but a fool's heart at his LEFT. Ecc 10:2
I've never understood the "pressure" interest groups put on TV networks. I've never understood the rationale for such actions. It's free publicity for the network and show, for one.
Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, a far more effective tool would simply to be "just not watch". As a Catholic myself, I had never planned, ever, to watch Madonna crucify herself, either live or on television. So why write letters about it to the network? Cries of "censorship" and "fundamentalism" will be hurled, and the performance that ultimately is stupid, will be hailed by those (who would have watched it anyway) supporting it; trumpeted as an "act of bravery for free speech".
It gives the opponents to Christianity even more leverage, IOW. Simply ignore it, and it will "go away". Remember where Scripture says "Resist the devil and he will flee"? "Resistance" is not always an offensive action. Sometimes, it's simply paying no heed to his evil antics.
Maybe Madonna should switch (from Catholicism, to Kaballah, and now ...) to Islam and commemorate one of their traditional symbols ...
The beheading.
Madonna who? Oh, you mean the person who published all those pornographic pictures of herself a decade or so ago. That's certainly a person we want our children to emulate. NBC should get a clue. . . does anyone watch networks (sleeze and sleeze minus) anymore? I know of noone of any age who watches anything but live sports. Fictional shows are disgusting and news is fiction.
Hahahahahahahah! That is rich. LOLLOLLOL!!!
Of course they wouldn't want to apporve of the mocking of the life of "the prophet" PSBUH(pig slime be upon him). That would risk the "outrage" of the great religion of peace, AKA ROPO, religion of perpetual outrage. Oh, and they also might cut your head off with a dull sword.
Of course not. What I would like to see however, is Madonna do just that. Lets see if she will stand by her convictions of artistic freedom, and do an act pretending to be a six year old bride seducing a pedophile prophet.
They're gonna start doing the same thing to rock and roll again. Yet they always avoid rap...
?? You mean, wheat from the Chaffe
That never works. Our "freedom" was built on a foundation of moral decency and societal laws taken from God's laws. This resulted in a nation of maximum freedom. If we allow that foundation to crumble, then so does the freedom built upon it. We have a duty to uphold moral decency, it is after all OUR country. You can't have freedom without laws and a moral standard to uphold it.
Ahem.
Notice there are no (serious as far as I know) Christians talking about cutting off her head in response to her antics...
