Your irrational demand that children raise themselves among wolves or be raised in an attic like veal is not acceptable. Your war on women going on in your mind extended to children as collateral damage betrays your repugnance as a defective human being.

I have to wander if they go too far under freedom of sppech or its a sign that we have has a society have that they can get ratings to stay on the air.If people didn't tune in they would go off the air;simple as that.Pften a boycottt means either more viewers or that they return later with new sonsors and people watch for next constroversy.

I want news on the economy and facts, not corporate controlled tripe and reality shows. It is all part of appealing to the lowest common denominator. I would not want my child watching any of this garbage.
Can't say how much I agree with this statement.

Violence in schools came from the adults in their lives. Not the teachers. But isn't it interesting to see these same pathetic children in adult bodies claiming themselves to be 'conservative' throwing (false accusation) rocks at teachers & blaming whole school districts for abysmal parenting + lack of religious education in the churches. It is now in the minds of moronic rabid right that if only the state bankroll religious orgs brainwashing children in lieu of an education, that America will magically become more 'Christian'. It will not. They've present tense abdicated their responsibility as parents and as religious. The blame game coming from the religious? Amazing they deserve 'protection'?

How much 'religious protection' does a character like Jim Jones deserve when he's made a mockery/ perversion of religion and the very government that upheld his actual rights?

I can't rep you again but...

I not only "think" but I know that they, nor we incite others to commit crimes. Again, personal resposibility and a nut, if a true nut will use whatever they've got to blame, if they wish, their crimes on. The poetic expressive example of this fact is when the Beatles music, Helter Skelter was listened to over and over by that bearded freak that's still in prison for murdering or orchestrating the murder of actress Sharon Tate.

Furthermore, the liberal party likes what you just asked and would answer a resounding YES so that in the near future, when social unrest spreads to the streets which they are sublimely orchestrating....they can blame folks like Beck, Rush, and even bloggers, etc....it's all planned and it came from within the study of "Psychopolitics" which was an art that Russia perfected before 1920.
What??!

Do you believe that?

I"m not a conspiracy theorist but I do think that our news is censored and used to sway the public at large.

when I'm in Europe there is a variety of news on the air about international issues - we drop the ball in the USA... that's why i watch BBC news to get a handle on what's going on in the world.

Damn. That would be a sad ass world to live in.
That is exactly why we aren't harnessing natural forms of energy in this world. Nikola Tesla had technology back at the turn of the century to harness electrical currents through lightning storms.

Because you can't put a price tag on lightning, his work was never revived. Sadly, the world we currently live in is sad ass in some ways. The encouraging thing is to see people waking up at such an alarming rate.
