Good freaking grief... does the U.S. house of Representatives (and the people of this country) lack familiarily with how to operate a REMOTE?
Note - the remote has this thing, usually labelled "CH" or "CHAN" - this part is used to change the channel if you do not like the show on the current channel. For radios, it usually is a tuning dial that goes either way.
There is one other feature on said remote: Usually labelled "ON/OFF" - this turns the offending TV or radio off. If there is not a remote handy, one can WALK OVER to the TV or radio and change the channel/station or turn it off. HOW FREAKIN' HARD IS IT TO DO THAT?
Nobody holds a gun to your head and MAKES you watch stuff. Pople decide if they want to watch it or not. If there is such a case, perhaps the many Freepers here can show me.
Thus endeth my comments.
People watching the Super Bowl halftime aren't expecting a topless dancer.
I am for fines on live offenses that occur during family time (i.e. Janet Jackson at the Superbowl).
Live programming should be held to higher standards than taped programs, which can air a warning prior to broadcast.
I think you don't have children yet, or you would see why some programs are a problem.
Nothing that happens in our nation is the result of principle or law. This nation does what its voters want done. Nothing else matters.
If the voters want blacks to be considered less then human, the supreme court will rule as it did in Dred Scott. If the voters want equality then Roe Vs Wade will be the ruling.
If enough voters want to ban smoking, it will be banned. If enough voters want TV regulated for sexual content.. it will be.
Thus endeth my comments.
