"Parents should be aware. If their not, maybe they shouldn't be parents?"

Riiight. Its all the parent's fault. When your daughter gets mauled at school by a Justin-wanna-be, we'll blame you instead of him. We'll blame your daughter instead of society.

"Secondly, the whole "right" to not be offended thing..please."

Not what I said. Reading comprehension please.

"I go back and say, it's CBS. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?"

Like I said before, I EXPECT the networks to abide by the FCC decency rules and I EXPECT the FCC to enforce those rules when the networks cross the line. Do you think society should have any rules re morality? Do you think those rules should be enforced?

"I wonder what a "tit" being sucked by a newborn would do to you in a mall somewhere..You gonna call the cops? Gonna go and get offended?"

Strawman. You're OBE yes?

"I have an idea, let's put all women in burqa's, it's the only sure way to stem this type of problem!"

Another strawman. Address the issue please - should society have rules and should those rules be enforced?

"It's YOUR HOUSE; YOU control what come's and goes in and out of it."

Actually no - you don't have complete control. If Viacom had announced "nudity" then yes, I would have *enough* control to filter the smut out. Anyone with kids understands this. You can't lock your kids in the closet for 16 years and you can't control how smut affects the kid next door. Our culture is teaching young boys to view your mother, your wife and your daughter as sex objects - as toys - and encouraging them to treat them accordingly. You've got no problem with that? Thats fine - you're so hip hop cool non-judgemental and the rest of us are Puritan squares. Okaaay. :)

"Please, let's not give the gov't another reason to control something else...Our viewing"

So your position is "no rules", yes? You've got no problem with a 5-year-old watching "Rugrats" being exposed to Porno commercials? It's enablers like you who are half the problem here - you'll abandon any principle to look cool. Bets that you have Back-Street-Boys goo in your hair :)

Your right Fenris6, you can't lock em up or shelter the kids till their 16. But would you rather gov't tell us what is right and wrong, or explain what a jackass jackson was and why our kids shoud seek to never affilaite themselves with such? I personally prefer the latter. The less intervention I can avoid in my kids lives by gov't, the more I can teach them what I think should be taught. Last night was perfect example of what kids should not do or learn. We can change our kids lives. We can also use things like last night as an example (if by chance, thing's like last night sneak by us). Or we can rely on gov't to do it for us. I shudder at the thought of today's congress and beauracacies having complete control over that. No thanks.
