Saving Private Ryan

[hobbes]

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.

The children all had a chance to refuse. Not just in words, but in reaction. No kid who was not laughing or smiling was dragged crying for spanking.

As for the karate thing, that was just pathetic. Nobody was teaching violence, just the opposite.

Cuckoo.

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.

Riiight, fall back to the old agenda bit...

it's common sense to say that people can change the channel... isn't it interesting how networks can use the FCC as their excuse to pull certain movies now...

Awesome, what is my agenda?

This is sweet!

Your opinion, nothing more. Then again you are not losing any money.

Anyway, aren't you moving away from the US, or is money more important than principle.

Yup...without parental permission. Ties in with "the kids shouldn"t see the movie"
Well, I knew what my kids were watching...I was involved with my children. If I felt it was inappropriate..guess what...the channel was changed.

Not real sure what this has to do with the airing of Saving Private Ryan tonight...

They are airing the movie right now on ABC with warnings about graphics, and language used. I am not changing the channel, I am watching it.

But there are a lot of kids out there whose mother is working to help support them while Daddy is off to war. I do worry about them watching it.

It is a pretty good World War II movie, based on a true story. Not very many of our soldiers were happy to be involved in that war either. A large portion of them had joined the National Guard, or Ready Reserves because it paid them a dollar a day to go on maneuvers and beat the fifty cents farmers paid for a day of hard labour.

imho your original post was to attack the FCC for not letting this air for policital reasons.................but maybe I am so used to your posts, I just assumed. Give us the credit to have brains in our heads, please.
