The Generation Gap is well and truely alive.
Young knows it all and rebels about being told what to do and when.
Old has been there and done all those things they are trying to stop Young from doing.....for the simple reason they have paid the price for the lessons they have learned and they love Young enough to try to spare him/her.
Young says ,"Let me make my own mistakes." And does.
Twenty years on, attempts to pass on the experience he/she has gained.
History repeats and repeats.

But the mature person has learned what is worthwhile and what is dross. The immature laps up everything, the taste buds are greedy and will try anything even if it is harmful. That's life.

Thanks for the tolerance you show to opinions other than your own. If my comments save the life of one defenceless unborn life then the offense is worth it. I can personally see a clear link between promiscurity being championed and abortion.

runner, "I can personally see a clear link between promiscurity being championed and abortion." many of us would see that link although not necessarily in quite those terms.

The abortion rates in the USA are reportedly far higher than in some other western countries with a much more open and liberal attitude towards sexuality. So we might tend to phrase it more like a clear link between repressive treatment of sexuality and abortion.

I personally doubt that BB contributes anything useful to society dealing with sexuality in more mature manner but neither do those calling for greater repression.

Runner.

Your comments only give the people who support the smut of BB fuel for fire for their argument.

As I said I am really begining to understand the people who support BB.

I can see what they are saying is > Who do you think you are and if we wish to watch low life smut who are you to tell us we cant?

Thanks for helping the other team put up a far better argument than they ever could.

Given a choice between injustices yours is far worse than theirs.

I wont post here anymore because this post is about BB and extream people like yourself just never stop trying to force their veiws on others.

You alone have convinved me that BB should be moved to a much later time of the evening but not struck off all together on the basis that people like you need to be taught others have a right to decide for themselves.

I can see a connection too now and I dont like what I am seeing.

If we Ban BB its a vote for a loss of personal choice.

No matter how much I hate BB your outlook is scarey.

You have done a far better job towards changing my mind about BB than anybody could have.

Its sort of like when the PM said > We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances they come by.

Women will decide for themselves when the give birth, if they give birth and the circumstances.

I will not respond to this post on BB anymore because extreamists like you only support the other team.

In fact You have cured me and i now wish to change my vote from Ban BB to just put it on later.

Thank you for helping me to see as much as I hate BB we have no right to tell others what to do.

You certainly have a way with people.

I am now on the other team

Well Done!

What, Schmucky? You a-a-agree with me?

YOU agree with me?

You agree with ME?

Well, that's a turn up for the books. Are you feeling alright?

Oh, all right. Thank you. A rare compliment indeed.

The intereting thing is that David Madden has now done a runner and is not responding to my posts. I don't know how I figured out that he was probably a media lackey defending his own patch. It was just the way he expressed himself about the programming that got my antennae up. When he "outed" himself, it made my day.

I wonder if he was a PR man for Fox who was using this forum to brush up on his talents of spin doctoring and plausable deniability? Well, I hope I put a flea in his ear if he was.

Western societies need responsible parents to instill pro social values into their children, so that the kids do not grow up being problems to society. Governments therefore have a crucial interest in helping parents acheive that vital aim. Responsible governments weigh the benefits of individual freedoms, and assess their social impact before deciding whether those freedoms are too socially disruptive to the peaceful continuance of their own socities to be legal.

Our society can get by without the entertainment media promoting crass products extolling the joys of drug abuse, profanity, sexual promiscuity and juvenile delinquincy to children. But we can not survive with an entire generation of psychologically damaged children.

There was once a time when young people who considered themselves educated and smart fought against the excesses of major corporations who were lining their pockets at the expense of society. it is interesting to note how successful the giant multimedia organisations have been at convincing the young turks that fighting for the financial interests of Fox, Miramax, Tristar, MGM, Paramount and Columbia, against the interests of their own societies, is the mark of a "social progressive."

I said I wouldnt post here anymore but I will say I saw something on another subject and I was rather Proud Of you.

Steve is a curious one and caused great stress with one of our who staff who helps run our Ban Live Export group.

He started sending Private emails with strange messages saying oh yeh the so and so pubs nice isnt it and stuff like that.

As she was from a one horse town and very timid it scared the life out of her.

He told me that Peter McCgauran was his brother or uncle.

I have to say that if kids are raised with morals I dont think they will want to watch BB when they are bigger anyway.

I am not a kid and it really!offends me.

A few times I have been out in the kitchen or something and walked back into the room where its come on in my absence.

I DONT invite that into my home!.

Ten need to move the time on it and respect decent people.

I guess we are off side again but as you say people do have rights to be pervers and grubs I guess if they have been unfortunate enough not to have been raised with moral values.
[smile]
