Kwv, I was going on about my life because Wendy saw fit to make HER business.This is as you say a BB issue here.She says that single mothers are people of no morals and bring society into disrepute but I could almost guarantee that she has not made it her business to actually get to know a single mother and find out the real story for the majority of single mums who are doing it tough and raising their children with better values than a lot of socalled'normal 2 parent families'.A single mum is any woman with children minus her partener, and if he died or was killed or left her for someone else , then she becomes me.WE should not be so quick to judge.I was defending myself because she forced me too.
And back to BB, if BB cuts the offensive material, which is not aired between in prime time, whats your point there?Children cant see it if its been cut.There are a lot worse and programs on TV, some horrific dramas that children watch ,depicting gruesome murders in detail..violence is much more destructive to the psychological development of children than is a bunch of people sitting making toast and talking..again I have to ask do any of you people actually watch it?because I cannot for the life of me find offence in BB the daily show..Up late is very different and my kids DO NOT watch that.

Kwv,

Like RObert and OZGIRL, I’m a bit puzzled at what you’re getting at too. Actually I was wrong about Big Brother being entirely suitable for children: the daily show was rated PG, the same as Frasier and Border Security (to give you other examples of that classification in roughly that timeslot). I wouldn’t necessarily see that as suitable for tots, but I wouldn’t be too concerned about teenagers seeing it.

The problem with “reality TV” is that some people seem to be getting confused between reality and TV. I think that young people are probably more sophisticated at making this distinction than some oldies give them credit for.

Snout like RObert and OZGIRL, if you actually read my comments instead of just skimming it, you would know what my point is.

And you are right some are getting confused between reality and TV and just look at forums such as this one.

For example in reality, have you heard of anyone being locked up for 24/7 with cameras watching them except gaol?

And OZGIRL it is very understand what you are asking with "if BB cuts the offensive material, which is not aired between in prime time, whats your point there?"

philo

You agree with me/ You! With ,me, wow. I feel honoured!

Oz girl.

I didnt know you were a unmarried mother and it was u who posted about u,I just replied.

u write that unfortunately your partner found himself in goal for five years.

That was unlucky he got caught wasnt it.

You call our PM a creep.

I dont agree with him especially on the live export issue but to call him a creep shows no respect.

I have seen as much of BB as J H and came to the same conclusion.

Now u tell me u want to be a social worker.

oh my God.

If u plan things before u jump in oz girl instead of blaming the world when things dont go right u will be a happier person.

I do know unmarried mothers.

I have one living in my late dads home.

She has 4 now kids and one on the way in 4 weeks.

She gets huge money pluss free health pluss day care 5 days a week for them.

That costs the public about six grand a month.

Next week I am taking her to lunch and a movie.

No I dont approve of her life style but I do try to be kind to people while at the same time being honest.

As I said I feel sorry for kids who have not been given good guidence.

I dont approve of BB and its cetainly not for chilren.

Stop playing the victim and start taking reasonsibilty for your own life .
U seem to like the country which is a wonderful life for kids.

hope u get a great job in a country town u love and who knows maybe play in the garden with the kids instead. Ozgirl the guys get it hard too so its not all the asu say. Who knows u might meet a nice one if u open your heart.

good luck with whatever u do.

I think the point OZGIRL is making is because you made a point of saying the only reason we see nothing bad is because they edit it out. OZGIRL is questioning why you therefore argue against Big Brother for it's content, if you said they cut out the bad bits.

Gekko,I think that if you actually found yourself living in a country like Korea or indeed under Saddams regime you may feel differently about personal freedom, we dont know what we have 'til its gone..the erosion starts slowly and insidiously ,ie:banning programs from television,loss of voice through the right to protest ,IR laws etc.Our media laws are in place to try to keep a balanced and diverse stream of political content released to the general population, although Im not sure its seems that balanced to me.I value free speech.

Wendy I once knew a person like you,she was a small minded bigot too .
