DMadSport Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Not to get too political here, but it seems that the only thing these conservative, "pro-family" groups do is blast companies for even the tiniest of moves that they deem "un-family." Here's another case: Liberty Media is interested in buying the Atlanta Braves, but "concerned" groups with "Family" in their names are blasting the attempt... because (HORRORS!) Liberty Media sells porn to hotels. Which is like branding an American as unpatriotic only because he's a Blue Jays' fan.http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=81995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonz Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I can't stand all these pro-family groups. They're so full of it. I'm sick of them telling me what's good for me and everyone else. Problem is, they're all crazy and are a huge pain in the a$$ until they get what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 oh yes, we need booze, porno, strip clubs, sex shops and gambling casinos...in the middle east. just think how much better they would feel after looking at a big'uns magazine, drinking some booze and going to a strip club. they wouldn't feel the need to blow things up and murder, when they can spend their time watching late night porno on HBO. i know i'm being oversimplistic and sarcastic.i personally am not a big fan of porno,hardcore or softcore. not because of anything morally but for the the fact it does very little for me. the women certainly doesn't and the acts are routine and mundane. i can't but to help to laugh when i see two people screaming and grunting like animals. real people don't do act like that. we certainly don't. i prefer a more natural romantic setting and everything unfolding naturally. i don't care for cheap sex, i prefer something more meaningful.

NJTank Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 You know its the one thing that bothers me about these family is when they go after media it is true that prono is not great for society buut responsioble people enjoy it and if they want to wtach it it is their buisness, and if children see it its parents who are failing. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Conservatives = Hypocrites!!! Wow, have you said anything meaningful on these boards? If someone walked up to you and told you that they were a pathological hypocrite, would you believe them? [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Gothamite Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 They're not "pro-family" at all. They don't speak for my family. They're pro-control. They just want to control what members of my family do.

BINGO!!! My sentiments exactly! I hate that all these pro-family groups claim to be pro-family are actually pro-CONTROL in nature (and blatantly so). The way I see it, if parents don't want their children to watch porn, then it's fine by me so long as they don't complain to the FCC that it should be applied across the board.

Sodboy13 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 These allegedly "pro-family" groups are nothing but a cover for those who wish to oppress anyone who says something they don't like.The Parents Television Council, The American Decency Association, Focus on the Family, L. Brent Bozell and his Media Research Center - none of these groups are truly family-oriented. They're simply groups who want to act as national censors and force anything that gets their overly-starched bloomers in a bundle off the air, out of print, off library shelves, and out of our classrooms. (In an interesting bit of irony not grasped by these narrow-minded dopes, some of these organizations' websites stream clips of what they find to be the most offensive material. So if you ever really need a strong dose of television violence, sexuality, and profanity, a "pro-family" website offers you one-stop shopping convenience!)Also, to label any of these groups as "conservative" is doing a grave injustice to actual conservatives, who believe in government standing clear and not interfering in the day-to-day lives of law-abiding Americans. Real conservatives also love and respect the First Amendment, instead of trying to take a leak on the Bill of Rights the way these groups do.Media watchdog and allegedly "pro-family" groups like these aren't conservative at all. They're Puritanical. All that's missing are the funny hats with the buckles.The problem is, the FCC is listening to these groups a lot more lately, as if they truly were the voice of the majority. And that's why the fine for any on-air "indecency" (which, by the way, not only includes obscenity, but pretty much anything that offends anyone) has ballooned from $2,750 to $325,000 in two-and-a-half years.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 These people don't care about what you do or don't watch. They certainly could care less about your salvation, your children, or the moral direction of society. No, this kind of stupid moral outrage is simply big business.These guys, Ralph Reed, Tony Perkins, etc., are super-rich. They get big donations from well mobilized bases. They never actually have to deliver anything except simple-minded fights and their progress is never measured. All they need to do is ask for/demand donations from church groups, by private mailings, and via televised appeals on 700 Club, TBN and similar.Evangelicism may help some people spiritually, but it is certainly helping quite a few bad apples make tons and tons of money. As long as they keep their names relevant -- like in this example -- they're doing their jobs. This is about profit, not about control. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
