All you need to see are previews. And I watched The OC a couple of times with my daughter who is 19. Ever watched OC? And I read things on FR.

This isn't 100 years ago. I am at least realistic about life.

Almost everything on tv IS garbage. Too much sex, too much profanity, too much superficiality. I agree with you about the problem, but not with the solution. Only having available "Government Approved™ " content is not a future I look forward to.

I don't care what the play on TV. If they want to play porn, it's no sweat off me. I'm not going to watch it. It's an option to have a TV, it's not a necessary item for survival. You can live without TV. It's called responsibility. You can opt out of tv.

I watched him during the Dem convention and was very impressed. He has a good future in their party. Don't underestimate him.

I don't watch TV. My husband watches Fox and the Sunday shows. Oh, and the history channel. That's about it.
To: mlc9852
No you're not realistic. You don't want to take responsibility for your children's tv viewing habits and want the government to mandate what you can and can't watch.
To: Pikamax
It's already easy for parent's to control the content of TV...turn it off.

Then why when I was growing up in the (well, a long time ago), families could sit down and watch TV together without telling the kids to cover their eyes or their ears. Was it because we had laws back then that are no longer enforced? Or was it because there was some decency expected? And movies these days - I have only been to one movie in the past 8 or 9 years and it was Dreamer. That was a good family movie and I enjoyed it. I won't pay good money to see trash. Hollywood keeps getting more and more perverted. One reason is because Hollywood is so anti-Christian and has no sense of morality at all. TV isn't far behind. And the entertainment industry is full of homosexuals who love promoting garbage. If you want to defend that, be my guest.

Plenty pf people who call themselves conservative would likely agree with him.... As the father of an inquisitive eight year old I might agree with him.
The only safe television for kids is PBS.
Sporting events are OK until commercial time. The other day we were watching a football game and the main sponsor was the movie "Get Rich or Die Trying".
The Republicans control both houses of congress and the presidency. There will be five Catholics (I'm one)on the Supreme Court and I still can't watch network (public airways)TV (I don't have cable) with my eight year old.

Well, why do you think I didn't let my kids watch that kind of thing? If it offends you (or maybe it doesn't), don't watch it. Let the station know why you aren't watching it. Let the sponsors know why you are not watching it. Why does the government have to be involved?

Back to point:I don't support anything-goes on property that I don't own.
If I wanted to watch pornography, I would choose a private form of media to do that.
I don't need to rely on property that's not mine, to do that. To do so is called -- liberalism.

Why do we have an FCC? I don't necessarily see the government as the enemy in all situations.

Why does he seem like such a phony to me, a Stepford person?
Very eloquent, bears repeating.
