Yes, but it’s clear from your earlier posts that you think you know, but don’t.

“On Command” is the name of the company, recently purchased by LodgeNet, with which Marriot Corp. and other hotel chains have contracts to provide in-room movies including hardcore X-rated porn flicks, many of which pro-family activists believe constitute illegal obscenity.

On Command web site:

“On Command” is not, as you’ve repeatedly posted in error, simply a term by which to describe pay-per-view video services available on digital cable systems in private homes.

But until you asked about it specifically, didn’t think it worth the time of correcting.

****

That is very neat and similar to Home cable!

If I were to go to a high end hotel these are one of the amenities I would fine fun.

A few of you, your solution would be to deprive all of the guess of this because the package also contains adult stuff which has to be purchased and can be controlled by the parent omit the channel just like the home DHTV cable!

Personally I think many of you are using young people to champion your cause, because you are stepping into an area that violates another rights.

I detest porn and I even got upset over the dresses Jire Thompson wears it was too revealing.

But than I realized she might not know better in this generation.

I hope we can rid of it but I don’t think your way of going after it is correct it interferes with another free will!

Former addicted people would like such a solution to help them overcome their weakness but it is still wrong.

It like an alcoholic would like all boos illegal.

We have to bridle our weakness by leaning on the Lord; it is an internal correction not external.

Trying to link someone so you can force your will is a no, no especially when those you pound on are not your problem!

A friend just shared this with me.

That you continue to ignore the fact that Marriott does not own “its” properties.

Marriott is a brand name put in locally owned hotels. It is a franchise operation. Marriott is the company that provides day to day management services to the properties owned by others.

When you read the first bit of their annual report and its not too hard to figure out when read the first page letter to shareholders....

Marriott is a service company with a brand name.

“Marriott is a brand name put in locally owned hotels. It is a franchise operation.”

Which means that Marriott can put anything it chooses in its franchise contract. If ethics were more important than making porn profits, Marriott would contractually require franchisees — in order to use the name “Marriott” — not to associate the founder’s good name with porn and obscenity.

Restornu, you’re not just arguing that Mitt has no responsibility for Marriott selling porn in the decade he was on the board, you’re actually defending Marriott’s sale of porn itself.

And once again, you make clear that you simply don’t understand the system. You write: “A few of you, your solution would be to deprive all of the guests of this because the package also contains adult stuff.”

Wrong again. We’d simply like to see Marriott adopt the same corporate policy Omni Hotels have, for example. Provide the in-room movie system WITHOUT the porn. Is that so hard to understand, Restor? Apparently so.
