Really? You seemed pretty passionate about a person's right NOT to choose to vaccinate on another post. Or is it only on the issues you deem correct?

The fact that it offends some people only shows how irrationally sexually prude and puritan or country is.
I Don't know about your upbringing, but mine taught me to think better of myself as a lady. Same thing I am teaching my daughter.

He's a comedian. I'm not offended at all. I think it's funny.

Makes one wonder what you would consider funny, and what you consider a typical "American family" - but I don't really care, to be honest.

So go ahead and be sad & depressed about it, but I personally got some good belly-laughs out of that show. We clearly have differing tastes in terms of comedy, and that's perfectly okay... lots of things don't make me laugh, and I'm still fine with other people enjoying them. For example, "The Office?" Don't get it, don't want to, but I do like Steve Carrell's movies!
Liberals hide behind their sense of humor . It's called a classic double-bind. A liberal will put someone down. They claim they do it because its funny. That way, if you try to fight them and the way they put you down . They can claim you do not have a sense of .

Speaking of which, have you ever been to Europe? I've been there a handful of times, and their open sexual attitude is rather refreshing. It isn't always vulgar, just healthy and honest. I like that, personally.
Well buh bye! Head on over to Europe!

Right because comparing free speech to Typhoid Mary is exactly the same thing. Kinda like comparing apples to elephants? Got it.

Why not hold adults accountable for their actions during shows that children could be watching?
Very well said!

Reading some of the posts about the apparent way people raise their children tells me exaclty what is wrong with the youth today.

I am saying that families watch sporting events with their children. Thinking that the child wont hear things like masturbating. A parent should NOT have to worry about explaining what that means while watching a basketball game.

Yeah a 6 year old wont hear the joke and then say Daddy what is masturbation. Because children dont ask many many questions even why the grass is green.

Lets make it clear about something also. I dont care that he said it. I care what time he said it. Had this happened during a late night show. I would careless
Really? My son, age 4, constantly asks questions... And I love it. Yes, it may be annoying to answer the same thing and have it followed by a why, but it's all a process of learning. And, too many time has my son asked, "why is the grass green, sky blue, pigs pink," etc.

Honestly, what 6 year old is going to be totally wrapped up in watching a whole sporting event? I mean, seriously? Attention Deficit Disorder (Short Attention Span) - KidsGrowth
