I will continue to address any similar absolute statements about parents having the ABSOLUTE right for their kids to watch ANYTHING.

You can address what you want. I will parent my children. My wife has some input, as do both sets of our parents. Are you in either category? No? Then, quite frankly, I don't give a damn about what you think regarding my parenting skills. I'm doing (in my NOT so humble opinion) well enough without some puritanical know it all sticking their nose into my home. And additionally, (sensitivity be damned) you can take your hypothetical accusatory question, fold it six ways and do something unmentionable with it. I'm not being sensitive; I'm being realistic. I WILL RAISE MY CHILDREN. You won't.

You have a right to raise your children -- as do I -- anyway you want except you can't endanger your child. I never questioned you as an advocate of somebody wanting to endager your child or as somebody who does endanger your child. I did question if you were an advocate of laws that protect child endagerment and I did so not because I was accusing you of such, but only because your absolute statement was worded as such.

If you were confused about the intention of my question, then the polite thing to do would be to ask me what I meant with my question, just as I ASKED you what the intention of your absolute statement was.

You can take your paranoia and go stick it some place.

Quite possibly the same place you can stick your rudeness. I don't appreciate the personal insults.

And when it comes to my children, perhaps I have a blind spot. I'm not about to apologize for it.

But your question was personally and intellectually insulting. Perhaps you should stop asking loaded accusatory questions.

Your intent was accusatory. You accused me of wanting to protect those who would endanger children. Yes, I took it personally. I'm not about to apologize for it. On the contrary, perhaps you should apologize for your tone.

Then again, perhaps you like asking people when they stopped beating their wives. Just don't be surprised when those you interrogate get pissed off, as I did. And I'm the last person you want to piss off; as large a man I am, I intimidate people simply with my presence. When I'm pissed off, I've been told that I am simply terrifying.

"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."
