Jeff, that is an unrealistic option. Do you have children? How are you going to control them when they are at friends or when you aren't home?

We've raised two and are raising a third child. We limit and restrict our children's television watching. No trash allowed on the tube in our home, and that includes most sitcoms. No profane music allowed,either. I'm sure they are tempted away from home; they are human. Resisting temptation is a part of learning self-discipline.

I still believe that eliminating TV from the home would result in a net gain in family intelligence.

Jeff, thanks, good answer. We also have one 14 year old left at home. MTV, etc. blocked out. We keep a pretty good eye on what she watches. I often have to tell her to turn the channel...All we can do is try. It would be easier for us parents, however, if the stuff wasn't even on the TV to begin with. Pushing condom use tells the kids "since you can't control yourselves (or better, why control yourselves - live it up), here are some condoms"

Regards

"By not watching TV yourself."

Trust me, that DOES NOT work! I gave up TV for Lent (I wasn't really watching much anyway, so it wasn't too difficult) and my daughter still watches her "shows". Most of what she watches is Nick at Night and ABC Family Channel, etc.

I agree that we should set a good example, but that does not guarantee the results we desire. Monitoring the TV and setting a good example is the best we can do (and prayer!)

Regards

Or, How about:

Strangers in the night
Exchanging rubbers.
This one's too tight,
Let me try another . . .

Strangers in the night, discussing tactics
How to stretch these bleeping prophylactics,
Help prevent disease,
Before the night was through.

Something in your hand was bright and shiny
Little blue balloons? They were so tiny,
You said put one on,
Before you catch the flu!

Strangers in the night, estranged forever,
Could we get them on? No, not once, never.
They were much too tight
For strangers in the night.

My dad used to play "stranglers in the night" whenever he'd have gigs on Halloween.

Oh, give me a cell
Where the music is swell
And the padding is bouncy and gay

Where seldom is heard
A (^*&%$#@*!!!!! word
Cuz I can't hurt myself when I play.

IMHO, it all started to go downhill when lawyers were permitted to advertise. ;-)

Sheesh...I guess its time to get rid of the TV, or at least restrict it to VCR tapes and DVDs. My kids (all under the age of 7) don't need to know what a condom is used for, and don't need to be curious about about what a condom is used for at this point in their lives.

WTF? Is a child's innocence sacred anymore? The people and organizations involved in the MSM must live in a dark and shallow world.
