"The time has come to DEMAND a la carte cable programming. I don't want to pay for this crap - "packaged" or not" I agree, I would love to get the Golf Channel but I just can't justify the extra cost.

LOL! Spot on.

Homosexuals don't reproduce, they recruit. And what better way to recruit (your children) than to have a 24 hour a day audience on 3 or 4 networks targetted to youth where nothing negative related to the homosexual lifestyle is ever presented -- No AIDS, no STD's, no psychological issues, no public health issues ... just 24 hours a day of fathion conthious flowers and pinkness, and celebrations of fruitless sex. And propaganda about the necessity of "hate crime" laws, i.e., thought crime laws.

Fabulous!

Did you see the show Playmakers? Some of the episodes dealt with a homosexual player on the football team hiding his sexual preferences.

Here is the reason. Someone thinks they are a good writer, producer, or director. But they actually suck. So what are 3 of the lowest common denomonators used? Sex, violence, and now, homosexuality. These spearhead programming due to the lack of creative ideas, thought, or morals.

Yet another reason I'm happy we don't get cable. Why pay to have poison pumped into your living room?

In one sense I do agree with you. But I have to tell you, I do get cable and here is why. I love watching the old programs on tvland. The quality shows like Jackie Gleason, etc. Extremely creative humor with morals. Actual thought accompanied with talent. I also watch speciality programming for my new gift to myself, my HDTV. I spend a little extra for digital cable to watch creative programming, visually stunning shows. No sex, no violence, just the wonders of our world.

I have Dish Network and I have FNC. At least I think I have FNC...isn't that the channel 'Hannity and Colmes' is on?

Yes that is the channel. Don't think I could live with out Brit Hume's show. But it isn't on the super cheap package. I don't watch that much TV if I want to watch a movie I watch one of my DVD's.

Ahhh...yeah, I have the 'America's top 150' package...although I have probably 70 channels deleted on my tuner menu, including MTV.

a 24-hour network aimed at gays and lesbians.

I thought Bravo and Trio already were. Seems to be an awful lot of homosexual content on those channels.

[Hildy]

It will not succeed, )unless they have programming featuring lipstick lesbians, if you know what I mean), because there's just not enough of them to make this a profitable venture.
