said by Straphanger :This address the obvious issue with decency for families who don't want channels with a good deal of violence and sex coming into their homes. I hate to call this to the table - but it's not all about the "family" - I've run across a lot of parents that don't have a stick in their b$#Q about what their kids see. I know parents that use the TV to teach their children about right and wrong - I call that responsible parenting.
Parents that want to shield their child from everything that comes in front of them, in my honest opinion, are not doing a very good job. They paint a false picture to their kids that life is all good. At some point in their life, they will encounter all this supposed violence and nudity.
Let's call this what it is.. it's a church friendly package. Plain and simple (and my mind won't change on that) For the government to define what is and what isn't family friendly is plain and simple bull.
When it comes to my children, I am not raising Rod and Todd Flanders... I think my kids need to be exposed to Homer Simpson - from that I will drawl lessons in life on my own.
Don't we have an election coming up again soon too?  |
