Saving Private Ryan

[scroff]

If CBS aired hardcore porn, would you say, change the channel. No you would sue the station. Just like you would sue the school that spanks kids in gym class.

I think I already said if the networks aired hard core porn it would be fine by me. I'd say the same thing, change the channel. Spanking kids is not even in the same catagory.

Awesome! Saving Private Ryan starts in an hour here.

Thanks for starting this thread Ruthie.

EDIT: It'd better show it, according to Yahoo! TV it will...

You don't even know what you are talking about, it was mock spanking kids. It was done with a foam rubber paddle. It was fun, the birthday boy got to be a celebrity for the day. No one was hurt. Ruthie knew all this and STILL wanted to sue the school board, just because 1 kid might have had a bad home experience.

Cuckoo!

And why don't networks air hardcore porn. Public opinion and obviously the economic backlash.

No, the network decided it was not a good choice given the current situation. Why else would it have been aired twice before.

Got it yet?

Well, first it was out of some kind of compassion for parents with children in Iraq, now it's a business decision. I get it, it's good business not to offend parents with children in Iraq.

Many networks have aired it, I'm watching it right now, so I guess we'll just have to see if those networks lose any money. John McCain decided airing it was good enough and introduced the movie, so maybe that'll help the ratings. Time will tell...

In the meantime, change the channel...

Private Ryan was shelved tonight because of the current situation in Fallujah. No need for anything more complicated to understand this.

People who have political agendas may want to paint another picture, but this is simply a case of placing their agenda over common sense.

Don't read what isn't there. A hate so big? What is it you think Scroff, or I for that matter, hate? No compassion for fellow americans? that's out of left field.

I disagree. For one instance, all of your ridicule for people that believe in God, or as you call them, the moral majority. How will this ridicule help? It didn't help in the election, believe me. A lot of people believe in God in the US. Have you given a thought to try to reach these people by telling them that they can be moral, such as using a frozen embroyo to save the life of a nine year old child with diabetes? No, you attack them and call them all ignorant, attack their president, who believes in God. How do you think you can change people to your viewpoint? You have already expressed your hate for the people who voted for Bush, without considering they could be really intelligent people that based this viewpoint on their concerns about the type of President Kerry would make. I feel this same way about the far right conservatives that have damaged their party more than they want to admit.

father-in-law called back..he found the cat.
I do not ridicule people for their belief in god...never had, as I believe religion/spirituality is a personal thing. The moral majority is up for grabs. They expect a country to live by their moral code, and to that, I say bullshit.
doesn't make me immoral or amoral, does it? We all have our own ethics and value system. I believe they want to control people and the decisions/freedoms they have or want. Everyone has the right to pick and choose, but no one has the right to dictate their personal belief system to another. Actually, I have a friend who voted for Bush..one of my sisters did too...don't hate them at all.
Stem cell research? Discussed it with my sister actually. LOL

You don't even see your inconsistensies when they don't fit your agenda.

I believe your discussion of porn was with Scroff. Yup, I'd sue a school..however that started from the thread that went from karate to spanking. Perhaps you should reread why I would sue a school.

You don't even know what you are talking about, it was mock spanking kids. It was done with a foam rubber paddle. It was fun, the birthday boy got to be a celebrity for the day. No one was hurt.

Awww, some kid might have had a bad home experience...what are you saying..it must have sucked to be that kid, but tough shit? Get a grip. Yup...I wouldn't have gone for my kid being hit with shit...you might have thought it was funny, I am sure there were some kids embarrassed, humiliated, or triggered.

So, if it aired, what is the issue.

Some stations may have felt differently based on their viewers. Did you see how the PresidentiaL voting broke down, state by state?

I know what I'm talking about. I'm replying to your post about spanking kids, if it's mock spanking say it's mock spanking.

You asked if I would say "Change the channel if CBS aired hard core porn", I told you I would, what does public opinion havew to so with this?
