They wait until the nation is distracted by war to put language that I cannot even type in this forum on the Public airwaves at 8:00 on Sunday night.

They should have taken all the WAR and DEATH scenes from the movie too. I guess some people can only live in a sanitized world and not deal with reality.

There is a time and a place for everything and 8:00 on Sunday night is not the place for the F word.

If I can't type the godammned F word on this forum I sure as hell don't expect to hear it coming out of the TV on ABC at 8:00.

LOL!

I could understand the outrage if the word was inserted into a sit-com, or some ho-hum movie just for shock value.

The fact is that Private Ryan is an oustanding movie. Part of the reason it is such a good movie is because it pulls no punches. The best thing to do IMO, is simply air the movie as is. Parents surely can keep their little hothouse flowers away from the tv for one evening.

Sex and death are real too, how about XXX porno and snuff films on Saturday morning?

I'm sure that's in Bloombergs and ABC's master plan.

Hmm, the movie can be just as realistic by substituting the F word with something else. No, you get a clue.
