OLN Dangerous Game - Good & Bad

Here's another newsflash for you, it was on American TV, so you would think they would try to make the show appeal to its audience. I highly doubt this show has many native African viewers of it. Heck, I doubt DirectTV or OLN for that matter, is available in Africa, but I could be wrong.

Trust me, I know that things are different in different parts of the world. I have visited Europe and my parents came directly from Italy. However, that doesn't mean I have to put up with them here in the USA or endorse things I think are detrimental to the USA. If I had kids, I wouldn't want them to watch a show like that and think it is okay to point a gun at somebody. They don't sit down on the show and say, "Kids, here in Africa we do things a little different than you do in American because we carry heavy rifles around all day long. We carry them by the barrel slung over our shoulder and pointed directly at the person in front of us, BUT we make sure they are unloaded at all times until we are just about to shoot an animal." Kids pick up way too many bad habits from TV, and I wouldn't want that to be a habit that my children learn.

as far as i know tv's have two endearing features #1 they can be turned off manualy or #2 they can be turned on and off with a remote control. thats for lazy lard a$$ed indivuals who can't struggle 20 feet across the floor to accomplish #1.

as long as we? are flaming tv, how about all the sex and violence they teach our kids on tv? where is the outcry? do you realize there is more money spent in this country advertising boob jobs and levitra and that buy the year 2025 there will be an aging population with alzheimers who have perky boobs and are sexually aroused and can not recall what either condition is for?

com'on fabs, the filming is done in a foreign country. things are looked at different in europe and africa. when you see a commercial on tv in europe and a lady is taking a shower you see the whole lady stark naked, i thought my wife was gonna go blind the first time she seen that trick after she got to germany. she came off that sofa like an atlas missile off a launch pad. the add was for irish spring soap.

if you have children you will learn one thing really quick, they will learn all bad habits from tv, their friends etc. your job as a parent is to insure they don't do those things that are not acceptable. we do this by "example". if that doesn't work a properly applied boot and placing their backside under their shoulder blades is another option. the don't do as i do, do as i say, will not hack the mission. kids recognize hypocrisy as soon as it rears it's ugly head.

i had to be tough on my kids because i worked long hours and most times six days a week. they sure got their share of butt whoopin's . now that they are in their early 30's to mid 40's every once in awhile they will say thanks for being so hard on them and being strict. they learned a lot and apply some? of the same methods with their kids. i don't say a word.........i just smile and thank god.
