    Saving Private Ryan isn't hard core porn... and I really wouldn't care if they did show hard core porn.

    Ancient Bush family proverb; Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day... drown him in the lake and he'll never be hungry again.

    Any Which Way.... because there's more to it than Fox tells you.

    We can watch a movie about cancer and slow death, but we don't show this film to cancer patients.

    We must not show a movie blind of current events.

    Duh!

    And how does this insult anyones intelligence? Mothers don't want to see how their children may die tonight.

    In times of peace, these scenes are more abstract to the viewers.

    Are you not aware of this?
    If they don't want to see how horribly their children might die tonight, they can change the channel. Or... maybe we should just ignore the realities of how their children might die tonight, sugar coat it with Return to Mayberry, numb the brain totally, why not?

    Aw hell, lets let the Federal government make all our decisions for us... let's just have one channel

    It is all about context, get it?

    Scroff why don't you go tell a story about terminal cancer at the cancer ward. You don't do that do you?

    It is 1 frickin' movie, there are others that can be shown.

    People have the ability to change the channel. I think no parent wants to think of how their child might die tonight..
    .nonetheless, it might happen. I don't think the FCC should be making decision as to what is in the best interest of the nation...according to them.

    Vietnam brought pictures home to America...the reality was in the paper and on the TV. Should that have been censored?
    Don't read what isn't there.

    anywhichway

    You people are so far up your own asses you can't even appreciate situations in which the reality of war is not the best option.

    Nobody is talking government controlled TV, nobody is removing this movie from Blockbuster, they are just choosing a different option based on the current circumstances.

    If the fricken patients had a choice of whether or not they wanted to hear it I would. When my mother died of lung cancer this year the Hospice workers did indeed tell us a story about cancer, and dying...

    It's not about context... the networks weren't pre-empting it out of any empty concern for the mothers of America, but because of Janet Jackson's nipple. Get it right.

    If you had any insight, you might choose a different story.

    You and Ruthie and your sickening political agenda have turned this neutral person, and voter for Kerry, completely against you.

    I cannot imagine, Scroff, a hate so big and so totally consuming that it allows you no compassion for your fellow Americans.

    Do you not have any sense of the fact that these parents already know what you want to stuff down their faces?

    They are living with it every day.

    Funny how you support our troops so dearly, but at the same time wish this type of thing on the parents that love them.

    Who are you to decide what the best option is? People can decide for themselves what the best option is through their remote. I don't know about you, but I choose to make my own decisions.

    As far as the reality of war, like you said, it's a fricken movie, get over it.
