TV shows like fear factor, survivor, and Jack Ass aren't porn movies.

They put people in situations where they have to do outrageous things for money. If you don't want to watch it, you are free to change the channel.

They are no different then movies like Animal House and others. Pure shock value and comedy.

I'll tell you where it isn't - it sure as heck is not in the entertainment industry.

Nothing! Give me a good documentary any day! The problem is, even the History Channel, and Nat Geo have gotten lame. History International seems to have all of the good documentaries but I don't have it anymore. I am facinated with weather, and tend to watch the Weather Channel, but lately they've gotten lame too. Coast Guard Alaska??? COME ON!

Well, I doubt that drinking donkey sperm is a moral issue. I do, however, think that it has a lot to do with self-worth, self-respect, the ability to discern demeaning behavior, etc.

Obviously, standards differ widely and it seems that the standard these girls applied is scraping along the bottom.

BUT WHOA, PARTNER!! WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO EVEN SET THAT TYPE OF STANDARD?? "If you aren't hurting anyone??" Well what if I think it's okay to hurt others to get my way??? I may think that's perfectly okay!!

Ethical, moral, and social issues are beginning to dominate the headlines of major newspapers and the front covers of leading magazines. Unfortunately many today seem to assume that rationality and logic have no place in discussions of moral issues, and that there is no way such questions can be answered. Many assume that we are simply stuck with our opinions, and that all opinions are relative having no basis in any objective or unchanging moral values. Should all values and opinions be accorded equal moral weight?


See this is the problem with people who think like you.

You jump to the worst possible conclusion.


Killing someone is drastically different then asking an adult to drink sperm for money.

I think any logical human being understands that.

You try to tie murder in with something you don't like. Please, be realistic.

No one forced them to drink anything, they drank it willingly, for a chance at money. Stupid? Yes. Morally wrong? Depends on your point of view. Illegal? Nope.

Bob Saget, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, etc.


And I love all of their comedy.

Why? Isn't Animal house shown on TV?

(yep)

Thats the point, its up to the individual. Some people thought Animal house was morally wrong. People thought KISS was morally wrong.

But its not up to you, me, or anyone else to make up the minds of any other adults. If you aren't hurting anyone, then whats the problem?
