I stand by my first statement using the word.
I realized what a waste of words the whole thing was, and was about to delete it, but at the last second submitted the reply anyhow.
Your children, and mine, being less mature and self-aware, are more susceptible to the visual devices employed by marketers. And it isn't just toys they're selling.
I keep saying that the stuff has a lot of innuendo that is bad for man and boy alike, and some of you keep interpreting it to mean that I'm a TV nazi ready to smash sets and take names.
I keep saying that the internet shows you what you ask it to show you, and broadcast television incessantly pumps what they want to show you, and yet this is either ignored or not comprehended as well, evidenced by all the hollering about hypocrisy.
What is the goal of this thread? Are you hoping to persuade, be persuaded, find justification, or just be antagonistic?

I disagree with this in the confines of I watch what I want to watch and turn off what I want to turn off...I have program guides which give me the ratings of the show and information beforehand concerning content...
When I sign on the internet at my house my home page flashes all kinds of advertisements at me...some with women in skimpy attire, bikinis, and such...advertising vacations spots and such...how am I in total control there? I end up seeing...if even for a brief moment...that which I am not in control of seeing...
This argument doesn't hold water in this regard...plain and simple, both the internet and TV must be controlled in a Christian manner.
I do not know what the goal of this thread is and have no idea why you asked me...I did not author it.
