The learning channel has been nothing but crap for 15 years.
The scam is that they make new premium channels and put all the good stuff there. Its why I watch the Science Channel for science these days and AHC for history.
Back when, they had some interesting material. It’s been off our list for years now.
This article is offensive to ex-gays.
The Learning Channel teaches us what pathetic losers many Americans have become...devoid of will power, morals, common sense, personal responsibility and a work ethic.
The Learning Channel has gone to the dark side, in that, they have mostly reality shows showing bizarre people.
Many of the cable channels no longer are showing the programming they supposedly were set up to deliver.
The History Channel has reality shows, and have greatly cut back on actual historical shows.
The Arts and Entertainment network has reality shows, rather than the highbrow entertainment they are supposed to have.
Heck, MTV doesn’t show music videos anymore, which is the whole raison d’etre for that channel.
It’s sad that there are hundreds of cable and satellite channels, but nothing to watch. Sad that so many channels supposedly set up to deliver certain types of programming have gone to reality shows of bizarre people instead.
Needless to say, My Husband’s Not Gay has provoked a backlash from GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) and other activist groups that argue it perpetuates the myth that a person can change his or her sexual orientation through continued restraint.
That tv is a vast wasteland?
Conservatives need to learn to compete in the entertainment and cultural marketplace rather than complain about it.
“What exactly are we learning from The Learning Channel?”
Well, it taught me not to watch it.
Does that count?
empirical
[ emˈpirikəl ]
ADJECTIVE
based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic: —Oxford University Press
In other words, "empirical" is a fancy way of saying "in my opinion based on my experience, which just happens to be gay experience."
No mention of how the gay lobby has forcefully shut down actual research into causation as well as into therapy that works, or the testimonies of ex-gays, whose meetings they have also shut down by hate campaigns against any public venue that agrees to host a conference of ex-gay ministry or therapy.
1 Cor 6:9-10 “9Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with mena 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”
Jesus can and will change people when the become a Christian His way (justified by faith in Him, Alone).
He won’t change a person’s sinful behavior’s just because they desire it, and that sinful nature can include homosexuality, idolatry, sexual additions, dishonesty, violence, and anything that isn’t of God, but he will saved and change those who turn to Him.
LDS do not know the Biblical Jesus, so instead of a restored relationship with God, through His Grace they’re trying in their human effort.
I'd rather see a nerdy, respectable kid who got an education, married another heterosexual and lives with the spouse and their own biological children, trying to cope with their decadent old liberal parents. They could call it "My In-Laws Smoke Dope."
Now that I think of it, there was a story line like this a few years ago on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills -- an overtly Christian and successful owner of a glossy magazine trying to cope with her hippy mother's embarrassing and unreliable escapades.
So if there were a show about normal philanderers attempting to turn their lives around — would GLAAD object?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember a TLC show I loved back in the late 80s...The Mechanical Universe. They actually showed [gasp!] algebra on the screen to illustrate things like the precession of planets and Kepler's theories. Their still available on YouTube.
"The Marketing of Evil reveals how much of what Americans once almost universally abhorred has been packaged, perfumed, gift-wrapped and sold to them as though it had great value. Highly skilled marketers, playing on our deeply felt national values of fairness, generosity and tolerance, have persuaded us to embrace as enlightened and noble that which all previous generations since America's founding regarded as grossly self-destructive-in a word, evil."
I thought the 600 pound guy passed away - maybe they found another one.
