That's twice you have made an assumption as a way to deflect opinion. Why do you feel your opinion is more valid than mine? Because you know, deep down, that you are right and anyone who says something that contradicts what you know is wrong and needs to be belittled by some inane comments? Do you really have such low self esteem or is it just an over abundance of ego?skylndrftr wrote:Yes...of course, the same as protests or (shocker!) parades by the KKK/confederate party
I would have thought that as a parent it was up to me to protect my child until he/she is capable of making their own decisions. You stated "If you do find those things reprehensible and allow your chldren to be exposed then its your fault, not the fault of the media or the 'venue'." which means you are putting the parent at fault for the public actions of others. Based on the above it seems that now you are saying that fault is irrelevantg to what you said and instead try to move the ball to protect your position. At what point do you actually place blame on those performing public acts of indecency? Based upon your response to AZhitman it seems you never will as sexuality should be fully open. Of course, your viewpoint is correct because anyone else who does not occur is a racist, bible thumper or homophobe. Talk about placing lables on people without justifiable cause.skylndrftr wrote: fault is irrelevant and is not what I said. Its your responsiblity as asparent to explain these things and qualify them. If you don't want to have them exposed to things you don't like just shield them from everything.
I'm not trying to force my morals on anyone as long as they are not impacting my day to day activities. What happens in their bedroom, assuming consenting adults, is their business. What they do in public is my business when I am forced to observe by simply being in the area. You don't like it then change the laws about public indecency. Until then, keep it at home.skylndrftr wrote: again, no one is forcing morals on you. You are seeing these things and are more than welcome to decide for yourself what you find moral or immoral. No one is stopping you from expressing your opinion, why do you insist on stopping others from expressing theirs? if seeing things is having them forced on you, then I imagine you have bought every consumer item that has ever been advertised to you on TV? If so, can I borrow one of your many cars?
That's fine as long as I don't have to deal with you walking up the street in front of me.skylndrftr wrote: I like my assless jeans...
Boo Hoo. A few of "my" generation is full of crap and causing these problems just as much as "your" generation is wanting to expand the bull**** further. I will tell you just like I tell anyone else, get over yourself. You are NOT special and do not deserve special attention nor treatment.skylndrftr wrote: If your seeing something on TV or in a movie you made a willing choice to view it. If you don't like it you can either leave it off or leave the theater. Why is it your place to choose what I find offensive? Maybe I don't think its crap. Your shot at 'my generation' is without merit given that 'my generation' is still in the consumer rather than creator role of the content your referencing at this point in our lives. Your generation is actually the manufacturer of this content
In general, you seem to be a pompous *** and I'm done with this thread.
