I should have mentioned that I do support certain regulations with regard to media content (i.e. no-one under 17 admitted to R movies without a parent). I just believe that any movement can be taken to extremes, and that it is the responsibility of movement leaders to stand against extremists from both sides of the fence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471560104949982648.post-11992994067779673252008-08-30T22:37:00.000-07:002008-08-30T22:37:00.000-07:00I agree with your ideas , but you see being a com...I agree with your ideas , but you see being a community of people means there should be a concerted effort from everyone concerned to solve the problem. The parents foremost, the school, the community itself and the government.<BR/><BR/>Nothing succeeds unless all sectors cooperate in solving the problem.<BR/><BR/>Take for example the problem of pirated movies. Do we say, it's not our problem, it's the producers 'problem, they should be on guard and keep their copies under lock and key. We won't bother because we don't even earn from it. They alone are responsible in curbing piracy.<BR/><BR/>But of course, this is not the case, everyone has to step in and give his fair share to curb piracy. <BR/><BR/>Even buyers should cooperate and buy the original CDs instead of the pirated ones.(Even if it means spending more.)<BR/><BR/>I once had monitored a certain group, and after the activity, someone lost her wallet. I had to gather them up and asked them to help in the search. <BR/><BR/>One of them said, " It's her responsibility not to just let her purse lying around." <BR/><BR/> Well, well, well, is this the kind of principle or values we want our children/youth to learn? <BR/><BR/>If honesty would have been taught, and the respect for other's property were the focus then, no matter where the purse was, it would always find its way back to the owner, because children would have learned that getting what is not your own is bad. <BR/><BR/>Saying that parents are responsible alone in controlling the TV viewing of their children is tantamount to saying, there are no other factors that affect the activity.<BR/><BR/>Government stepped in to warn people about smoking, alcohol, pre-martial sex, piracy etc, wouldn't it be logical and responsible for them to do something about TV violence in a supposedly for "general patronage "program? <BR/><BR/>Isn't it their moral responsibility to see to it that children are protected?<BR/><BR/>We must remember that the future of the country and of the world are upon the children. <BR/><BR/>Please read more of the articles in this blog and open your mind. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading and for commenting. I appreciate it a lot.<BR/><BR/>God bless.Jena Islehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609925272840089993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471560104949982648.post-73875276993099275142008-08-30T10:36:00.000-07:002008-08-30T10:36:00.000-07:00Pardon me for playing the devil's advocate her...Pardon me for playing the devil's advocate here, but there are a few things that concern me about the anti-TV violence movement. <BR/><BR/>First, I believe there is a fine line between parents doing their best to keep their children safe, and passing the buck to somebody else. Who is really responsible for what a child watches, the networks, or the parents?<BR/><BR/>Second, there is the pontential for inconsistancy. For instance, how many parents don't let their kids watch martial arts shows, but let them learn in Sunday School about God slaying the first-born children of the Egyptians? I'll grant that children should not be exposed to either too soon, but if they're old enough to handle grisly Bible stories, they're old enough to handle some TV violence.<BR/>Also, nowadays people complain that TV and video games are rotting kids' brains, but the same complaint used to be sounded against "romances, novels, and plays". (http://books.google.com/books?id=B_TU6NytoFoC&pg=PA47&lpg=PA47&dq=%22romances,+novels,+and+plays%22&source=web&ots=HnxsaOIKJB&sig=vKwYOfucuK-rzW86sDXRfgVYda8&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result#PPA47,M1)<BR/><BR/>So I think its a little hypocritical for a parent to say, "Junior, don't be watching that violent garbage, do your report on 'Macbeth'."<BR/><BR/>Like I said before, I don't believe children should be exposed to too much too soon, but I believe it is primarily the job of parents to control the remote, not goverment to control what is broadcast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471560104949982648.post-77221970484147928632008-08-21T02:50:00.000-07:002008-08-21T02:50:00.000-07:00Hi Wayne, thanks for dropping .

It always amazes me how the level of violence on TV has increased. Unfortunately people do not believe there is a connection between that and our rising crime rate. <BR/><BR/>Parents would be better advised to let their children become involved with vexillology as a more studious pastime.Eric S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13214969358950690069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471560104949982648.post-85754395799174164572008-08-12T04:02:00.000-07:002008-08-12T04:02:00.000-07:00Thanks Tasha for that invaluable comment.
