Watch out for 'adult' ads

So what do you want to do to fix it? How are you going to clear out the "moral-liberal" content of the culture? You obviously haven't done the first part, which is clearing it out of your own life.

"When your 12 year old daughter is watching football w/you when the commercial comes on it bothers me a bit."

Of course it does and should...

I guess just because millions of younger viewers are exposed to Euro-style commercials and TV promos featuring half-nakedness, gratuitious titilation, and locker room jokes isn't any excuse to deny some Freepers here this board an occassional cheap thrill.

[A.J.Armitage]

Ah. So the world consists of potato chips and typesetting.

That German philosophy is weird. :-)

"No one's making you watch TV. I don't."

Oh yeah -- You're the genious who lives in his own isolation tank in a silo somewhere in North Dakota.

[nopardons]

That isn't the point.

I don't watch much T.V. and virtually nothing but cable, when I do. Still, I have seen the beer commercial and the one in the car; both on a cable station devoted to food, and with the sound off. I NEVER listen to commercials. From now on, I'll just " channel surf " ( which I don't do ) when a commercial comes on.

The Miller commerical is so overblown, I think the gay sex innuendos on the major networks are much raunchier than a couple of girls getting into a fight in a fountain.

[nopardons]

No, he's a college kid, who thinks he has all of the answers. LOL

[Cultural Jihad]

Don't they all? A toddler learns to pick himself up and romp around a little bit. Lo! Suddenly he is an Olympic-class astronaut!

[ThinkDifferent]

And do you have an answer other than censorship?

[A.J.Armitage]

If'n ya don't watch the tube, ya ain't normal.

[A.J.Armitage]

Olympic-class astronaut!

Yeah.

Anyway, you didn't answer my question. Other than bitch on the internet, what do you propose to do about it?

[Cultural Jihad]

What do I propose? I propose that we ensure that a hellofa lot more conservative judges get appointed to the bench, and then a lot of this cultural devastation which the moral-liberals have foisted upon us by their garbage-legislation can be reversed.

[tpaine]

Tell us exactly what 'garbage can legislation' must be reversed.

Two bits you can't list any.

[nopardons]

Yep. LOL

[A.J.Armitage]

I propose that we ensure that a hellofa lot more conservative judges get appointed to the bench, and then a lot of this cultural devastation which the moral-liberals have foisted upon us by their garbage-legislation can be reversed.

I wasn't aware of a law requiring TV stations to run trashy ads.

What do you want you judges to do? Be specific. What will the law say after your judges have had their way?

[nopardons]

Censorship is NOT all that bad. Time was, when there was censorship of movies and radio and T.V. programs. Guess what ? Movies and radio and T.V. programs were better ! They don't call the 1950's the " GOLDEN AGE OF T.V. " for nothing. Where are the " PLAYHOUSE 90s ", et al today ? On kinnescope; that's where.

[Cultural Jihad]

You asked for some examples? The so-called 'consenting adults' laws which the moral-liberal socialist-Democrats foisted upon society 30 years ago have brought about untold misery, disease, and death, and which never had to happen. Then there's their no-fault-divorce, their welfare schemes which basically destroyed the once-stable black family, the contraception dispensors in the schools, the pornography in the public libraries, and the list goes on and on.

[John Lenin]

If you think about what hollywood has done to a generation of kids with all the glorification of sex, drugs and gun violence they should regulated worse than we regulate the tobacco industry. I'm to the point of thinking that they know exactly what they are doing, the gun violence feeds into the RAT gun grabbing agenda, the gay takeover of the top nighttime tv writting positions feeds into the radical homo agenda. Yep, they know exactly what they are doing.

[HAL9000]

And do you have an answer other than censorship?

I thought the V-Chip was supposed to be the answer. Oh well.

[A.J.Armitage]

Let me get this straight. You want judges to replace divorce laws with other divorce laws more to their liking. And the legal basis of this will be, what, exactly?
