Some might argue depicting societal norms might be wrong. Or how they are going, or where they are going to. Some might say.... this might be controversial.

I posted a thread tonight. It was deleted a few minutes ago. So, do you trust the government to set a standard for TV shows? Or is anything OK? Do you really want someone censoring what you can see? Like China? Or more like the US? Everything is OK until I don't agree with it, then it is most certainly not OK.

Plato's Stepchildren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Star Trek and Same-Sexuality - YouTube

Prime time television, ya'll.
Star Trek. Breaking boundaries for decades.

Orion slave girls. On network TV.


Star Trek - Orion Slave Girls - YouTube
Welcome to Star Trek.

Some might consider this not safe for work. But it was safe for a major TV network.

Probably off topic for a controversy forum.


Kirk uhura kiss - YouTube

I mean, what was controversial about that?

So it is ok with you for kids to watch sleaze? Just put anything on tv for entertainment... oh yes, and there are liberal parents who don't care what their children watch because they are having sex with them... and some videotape it for their own enjoyment.. it is called child pornography.

Peoples indifference is killing this nation..

Actually its parental indifference. Parent your kids and monitor what they watch. You whine about big government but really don't mean it. Its pretty simple. But in this case conservatives want to pass the parenting on to the government, go figure. If you dont like TV, dont pay for cable. Are you really that stupid? Your implying that liberals are pedophiles and child pornograhphers is pathetic and indicative of your measly intellect.

Why don't you try being a parent and monitoring what YOUR children watch. I do. It's called parenting.

In reality it seems like parents like them that sit their kids in front of the TV, then complain about what's on.

What if your kid meets up with a kid who is from a liberal family who crosses the boundaries , it has happened many times , too many times ..is everyone there 24/7 with their children?

Teachers, trusted friends who fill themselves up with garbage become garbage. The kids are not protected as society feeds on trash and their minds become corrupt.

You aren't even making logical sense. I don't even know what your argument is. That only Republicans are good parents?

I know all of my kids friends, teachers, and their parents. I know what is or is not allowed in their houses, and do not allow my child to go to peoples houses that I think will allow him to do things that I do not agree with. Again, it's called parenting.

They complain about the "nanny state" yet that's exactly what they are asking for. So the government shouldn't tell us what not to eat, but should tell us what not to watch. Just so I have that right.
