- CBS news forums are protecting the virgin eyes of their public by replacing correct English words and widely used latin locutions that have absolutely no prurient connotations, but which are -obviously- beyond their ken.
The other day it treated my mention of the famous author Philip K. "Richard" with the same overbearing hypocritical puritanism. - Reply to this comment
- What is needed is a study on the correlation between parents who can''t be bothered, or refuse for "religious reasons, to teach their kids the a,b,c of responsible sexuality and the high rate of teenage pregnancy. I was taught, before I turned 13, that *** without precaution = pregnancy + possible VD and that *** with precaution isn''t over 80% fool proof either. Guess what? I postponed *** until I felt that I could, if need be, raise a kid. TV is in the house for entertainment, not as a nanny-***-teacher for your kids, people!

It is not my responsibility to help you raise your kids. If you do not want them to be promiscuous, teach them not to be. Do not expect me or anyone else to watch I Love Lucy reruns just to make your job easier.
Trying to blame teen pregnancy on sexual content in media; or for that matter, obesity on food commercials is simply a form of responsibility-dodging. You see the image of a hamburger and you get hungry. That you lack the self control to avoid running out and getting one speaks of your own irresponsibility in life. Yet our society wants to assign blame to advertisers for using this basic principle.
Look at it this way. A fish is caught by a worm on a hook because it is beyond the fish to realize that it is being trapped. If you have no greater mental capacity than a fish, then accept your station in life and shut up. The rest of us will not. - Reply to this comment
- The same effect is what the homosexual agenda is going for when they invade Hollywood and produce positive images of homosexuals and negative images of heterosexual males.
This is why they want to read "King and King" to first graders- "to indoctrinate them at as early an age as possible." (words of a Mass. judge) - Reply to this comment
- The people running television know that. It is their plan to corrupt children.

Such a plan, if it really existed, still could not succeed without the cooperation of the parents. See my previous post about the job of child rearing being that of the parents and not of society. - Reply to this comment
- This study involved over 2000 girls and boys, ages 12 %u2013 17 and concerned s.e.x. Actually, quite a brilliant tactic to get around all the pedophile paranoia so prevalent these days. I am surprised that no one else seems to have picked up on that angle.

"Definitely".
And I''m well aware of her situation. It is unfortunate. And, if you''ve read previous posts, I''ve hammered time and again and in many other related posts that there are issues outside of parental guidance afoot. That need of "acceptance"; media - especially when combined with ''peer pressure'' - makes a formidable foe. - Reply to this comment
- "out of wedlock"? The last time I used that phrase, all sorts of crackpot liberal militant nitwits made crass jokes.
Whatever; that''s their future.
