OT (sort of): CBS revisited

One might point out that God and Jesus Christ generally are depicted as
fully clothed, Michelangelo to the contrary. The Bible, since you brought it
up, makes a point of the fact that the very first thing that Adam and Eve
noticed after they learned the difference between right and wrong was that
they were naked. But then, what is forgetting yet another inconvenient fact
to the anti-religious zealot?

And this is the funniest point of all -- apparently you think there is no
connection between social licentiousness and that huge debt. I beg to
differ....

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.

You don't get it. For me, it's a non-issue simply because I would not have
been in that situation. You were foolish enough to let your kids watch all
the crap that preceded the exposed breast, in spite of the fact that every
minute before that was every bit as offensive as the exposed breast.

What difference would it have made if Janet and Justin had been naked? Even
clothed, their behavior was every bit as offensive.

Answer the question.

Your question is stupid. It's like you asked me how would I feel if, while
at a strip club with my son, two of the strippers started performing
cunnilingus on each other.

Naw, I suspect (even without knowing whether he drives a low wing or high)
that Andrew actually has balls and would kick my ass.

I would kick your ass if you did anything worth reacting that way. But
waving your naked butt in front of anyone, even my family, just doesn't
qualify. That would have reflected poorly on you (as if the stuff you write
here doesn't already reflect poorly enough on you), but it wouldn't hurt me
or my family any.

Why would I even waste time thinking about it, never mind have somebody's
bloody pulp of a body on my stoop to clean up?

C,

Apparently, any standards of behavior above that of animals are too much for
some people.


Apart from what others have said, do you happen to know where most porn movies
in the world are produced? Yes, it's L.A.

C,

But I despise the argument that porn is justified because we
have violent videos


Who's talkign about porn? Timberlake and Jackson was porn? Get a grip
on reality!

Take it easy CJ.... You are not the only person on this ng who has to deal
with medicaid mommas, derelict kids, teen pregnancy, drug addiction, etc.,
etc., every working day... Once you lose your objectivity you cease to be a
part of the solution...
And, this is not a disease exclusive to the USA... Much of europe has it in
varying forms.. Even lofty Canada, who delights in looking down her nose at
the USA, is developing the disease... And, I won't even begin to enumerate
the problems of the third world...
So CJ, you and the missus go back to patching the cracks and leaks in your
section of the dike and the rest of us will continue to do ours and perhaps
together we can stave off the flood a bit longer...
cheers ... denny

"C J Campbell" . Sanity is a rare commodity in these days. A sane person
knows that there are consequences to what you do. A sane person knows that
whatever people do affects everybody else.

Dennis,

teen pregnancy


That, one might argue, is - among other factors - connected to how kids
are introduced to sex and how open a society deals with sex. Which
nicely brings us back to the topic.

wrt the BBB (Bare Boobie Broohaha), I sure don't get it. I didn't
see the halftime show, but those rappers and hip-hop types have some
lyrics which are pretty ripe. Then there's standard TV programming,
which seems to have the goal of maximizing the gore and violence
per hour. It's OK to have a halftime show featuring some dude
wrapped in an American flag and singing all kinds of "nasty" but
a little tit has everyone in a tither?

Cheers,
Sydney


i didn't see it either -- it was on, but i was looking at the computer
screen, mentally filtering out the rap. but i suspect that all those
complaining about the exposed breast are guilty of making a
mountain out of a molehill. :-)

You could not resist, could you?
