Well played Sextant!<br /><br />I can't imagine raising little children in this day and age with all the relaxed attitudes about morality and sexuality and violence, but I guess to each his own. Thank you for commenting Sextant, always an eye opener!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-17690339950904185772013-06-05T20:07:39.276-07:002013-06-05T20:07:39.276-07:00Hey...how did you take the words right out of my h...Hey...how did you take the words right out of my head? That is exactly how I feel. It makes me sad to think that our society finds entertainment in the ridicule and humiliation of other fellow human beings!

M...Years ago, my wife, son and I went TV shopping. My son was about 9 or 10. So we are looking at TVs and I am reading the various features and pointing out stuff to my wife. I am deeply involved in finding the most features for our buck completely oblivious to what is going on. My son is gaping at the various TV and my wife is turning them off. <br /><br />"What the hell are you doing?"<br /><br />"I am turning off these TVs."<br /><br />"Why? We are supposed to be buying a TV not securing the place early in the afternoon for the night watchman. "<br /><br />"I'll tell you later." <br /><br />So I pick a TV from all the dead TVs and we depart. Later my wife tells me that Maury or some other ass had a special on:<br /><br />"Men who watch their wives having sex with other men." <br /><br />The kid was taking it all in moving ahead of my frantic wife shutting off TVs. <br /><br />The scary thing is that we send TV signals to satellites. I am always afraid that some kind and benevolent alien race will watch one of these shows and kindly put us out of our misery. <br /><br />I think on the blaming / forgiveness game, couples team up against the third party as a common enemy in creating the affair and "destroying" our marriage. It is stupid TV regardless, and I have always questioned the mental stability of people who would get on national TV and air out the laundry. It seems like an asinine way of getting one's 15 minutes of fame.

Parents who watch these shows, probably ignore the fact that their children are also watching letting the children think that anything goes as they model the behavior they're seeing on tv. Why is this considered entertainment? Why do people spend their precious time in life watching the worst in our society act out? Worse yet, I think much on Jerry Springer is fake and put on for show and supposed entertainment value (?). Can't say the same necessarily for Housewives of whatever which I've seen commercials for. These shows are all helping to further ruin our society. People become desensitized to bad behavior, rudeness, aggression, lying, cheating... by watching these shows. I'll step down off my soap box now. longtodolisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17942561734759702472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-36033596942901381642013-06-05T12:14:32.124-07:002013-06-05T12:14:32.124-07:00LOL!
