OLN Dangerous Game - Good & Bad

[fabsroman]

Billy D,

You are completely right. I agree that there is way too much sex on TV. I watch very little TV, but have started watching all of three shows now. Lost, Invasion, and Grey's Anatomy. I almost stopped watching Grey's Anatomy 2 weeks ago because that episode had everybody in the hospital sleeping with everybody else. It was all about cheating on spouses and crazy sex. My wife convinced me to watch one more episode and last week's was pretty good. So, I'll watch this weekend's. I still like Lost, but I am starting to lose interest in Invasion. One of the main reasons I watched Invasion was because it came on right after Lost. Now that Lost has been airing a lot of repeats, I tend not to break away from work or whatever else I am doing at the time to watch Invasion.

As far as the naked women on TV in Germany are concerned, you are in Germany. When in Rome, do as the Romans. I completely understand that. When airing a TV show in the US, do as the Americans. Do not show a "professional hunter" pointing the muzzle of a gun, with a closed bolt, at his fellow "professional hunter." If this is an African custim and you are airing the show in Africa, which probably doesn't have many anti's, fine. Just don't do it here in America.

I was over a friend's house last night playing cards and the TV happened to be on. When the news came on, all I heard about was one shooting after another.

As far as raising kids is concerned, I agree with you completely. Parents set an example that kids will follow. My dad drank a lot, and still does on occassion and he always said that drinking was fine as long as we didn't smoke or do drugs. That is probably true, but he left out the moderation part. Anyway, I learned at a young age that I don't want to be stubbling around or throwing up, so I avoid alcohol. My brothers made up for the share that I didn't drink.
