My wife and I recently decided to get on-line with some business opportunities were trying to make work. Internet is not going away, and I feel somewhat a responsibilty to my children, to try to learn, and teach them the right way to educate and be educated via the tools we have available to us. As I said I don't have all the answers. Niether do you, or anyone else on this subject. Internet should have blocks and you should be accountable for everything you do on-line. I do understand internet has the capabilty to be much worse then tv. But to me tv (hollywood) is always wrong and internet is not always wrong. Clear as mud huh??
Your UPC?

Bro I'm not asking for "all the answers". I do realize that there are some things that are outside of the realm of human comprehension. I'm not talking about explaining the fact that God has no beginning. I feel that this is a simple logical question. Why is TV bad and the internet embraced?
I had a very wise instructor at CLC warn us about teaching the principles and not against the technology. The principle would be to set no evil thing before thine eyes period, no matter where it is (magazine, TV, internet, theater, book, etc.) The problem with teaching against the technology is that as the technology progresses, your message becomes obsolete and indefensible. You would basically have to make a committment to shun all technology (hence my Amish statement earlier) in order to be consistent. And you would probably need to go retroactively back to the earlier hard-line stance againt the radio. As to the "hollywood" argument, the thousands of communication and entertainment companies that make money due to television also make money via the internet, radio, telephone service, and through their subsidiary holdings probably profit everytime you go to the grocery store. So TV does not equal Hollywood and Hollywood is nowhere near limited to TV. Truth be told, some Hollywodd fat cat may have made a few dollars off the Branson convention (sorry couldn't resist .
And yes I am UPC. I can sense the sincerity in your posts and in your posts and I hope you can in mine.
