I can count on one hand the number of mothers in my neighborhood that are raising their kids. Most are working, even though their husbands earn plenty, and the kids are home alone for a lot of the time. The ‘lucky’ ones are young enough that the parents pay someone to watch out for them.<<<

We used to call that “keeping up with the joneses”, today I call it “brainwashed by the tv”.

I sit here in a rage, when the ads come on the radio, that show the man as stupid and the woman as so smart, that she really does not need him.

Yes, the kids have lost out, more than anyone else.

What is wrong today, is a lack of role models, men are stupid, cops are evil, teachers stupid and the preachers are demons, how well the communists carried out their brainwashing.

Google for russia brainwashing

They perfected it, we only copied.

Next time you turn on the tv, take a look at the pattern of speaking, the sounds are jerky and the blinking lights, all good brainwashing tools, and also good for keeping folks revved up, so they need a pill to calm down.

LOL, it has been several years since I looked at a tv, but I watched it become what it is today, makes me think that I need to be on a drug, to even watch it.

So many families have tossed out God, so there is not a reason to fear going to hell and now the youths can do anything they want ....

Aren't those commercials (and TV shows too) ridiculous? They lampoon men at every turn. Don't the men that work in Hollywood notice this? And they also make the unmarried mother into some kind of hero - instead of portraying her as irresponsible and self-centered, as many are.

Well, there ARE some role models. Immoral Hollywood types, drugged out athletes, and of course, Obama. Yech.

I like watching the old shows on TV land. They were full of content and acting, not the crap that's on today. Such a difference! And the shows from the 60s run about 52 minutes, while the shows from the 70s run about 47. Today, we 'might' get 40 minutes without a commercial! (I bought some Perry Mason and Waltons DVDs and checked the playing time on the episodes).

The banners running across most TV shows and the little people in the corners of the screens jumping up and down make me crazy. Even in news shows, when the anchor is speaking - there is typically yet another headline going across the screen. That's just too much to have to take in when 'relaxing' in front of the tube. And we wonder why our kids can't settle down and pay attention! ADD drugs are handed out freely - we should just eliminate all the distractions that create the problem. That would include those TVs too, wouldn't it? ;)
