OT (sort of): CBS revisited

"Peter Duniho" wrote in message
You replied that your son doesn't watch that crap. But
somehow he saw the breast in question. Which means he must have been
watching that crap.

Yeah, I didn't think you got it the first and second time. I ain't
explaining it again, Pete. You'll just have to skip that question on the
test.

the exposed
breast was that least of the entire "attack" you've perceived. If the
exposed breast was an attack, then the entire halftime show is an all-out
war.

By golly, I think you might just be getting the point! I sure hope that it
is the beginning of a war. You may not give a damn about the kind of lessons
being taught to your kid but I damn sure do.

Note the use of the future perfect tense, to indicate a hypothetical
situation postulated by the following clause beginning with "if". You are
claiming kids will always react in this way, regardless of upbringing,
while
my comment was respect to how they would behave given a different
upbringing.

shwew Damn! I read that twice and it still went right over my
close-minded little head, Pete! Do you write for the FAA on the side?

And yet, you left it on, and allowed the children to remain in the room
and
watch. But you don't get indignant until the breast comes out? Absurd.

Naw, I'd call it normal. I'm fairly slow to anger and quick with
retribution. By the time Justin violently ripped Janet's clothes off, it
was too late.

In any case, I'm not talking about how you all reacted to this isolated
incident.

You aren't? Okay, no fair. You can't switch gears without telling me.
Hate it when that happens.

If your morality and virtue changed when you had a child, then YOU are the
exception.

Hmm. You have a point. My point, however, was that before I had a kid, the
spectacle of Janet being forcefully declothed on stage would have been
laughed at, applauded and even celebrated or simply dismissed ("It's just a
nip, man!) - much as you are doing now. Having a kid changed (focused?)
that view along with many others.

Something you obviously wouldn't understand.

Well, that explains a lot. Your belief that children simply inherently
act
one way or the other, for example, and that how they are raised cannot
affect that.

What?? Where the hell did that come from! You've lost it, buddy.

So how would you have felt if ol' Justin and Janet stripped naked and
"went
at it" in front of your kid right there on television, Pete? Just
curious.

Aren't you listening? We don't watch that crap.

I see. Avoidance, eh? That's a handy tool in the pattern. Makes you a
coward in a debate, though.

Answer the question.
