A Great Blog on the FCC
I applaud you Jay, for bring more perspective to the FCC issue. I particularly enjoyed this passage, considering this is the exact thing my grandma mentioned when we had a discussion about censorship..."Parent's can't always police thier children." This type of argument doesn't fly with me either. Being a parent myself, I know I can't always be with my son and watch what he's doing while at a friends house. Therefore, it's my job to instill morals, decency, and common sense into his little head. You said it loud and clear yourself:
"I heard probably ten people call in and say they couldn't be with their children all the time, and what if their child is going over to a friends house... what then. I just want to ring their necks and say WELL RETARD, what are you doing entrusting your child to an enviornment where you don't feel there's adequate supervision? Use some sense people! No matter how hard you try, their still may arise situations where your child is privy to things you'd rather they not know, I went to public schools, I know that! But, regardless of whether or not there are shock jocks on the radio, they are still going to hear those things!"
Couldn't agree more...
Get a clue, you lazy, hypocritical suburbite do-gooders! It's not my job or anyone elses to teach your stupid kids. Stop whining about how busy your day at work was and using that as an excuse to be crappy parents. It's as simple as sitting down with your kids for a few hours and just TALKING with them! Don't tell me it can't be done either, that I don't know what I'm talking about. I worked full time, went to school full time, and still managed to find time to teach him the things he needs to know to be a good, decent human being. And I'm still doing it!!!!

I'm glad somebody agreed! Most people say I'm being too hard on people to expect them to live their life and police their children. I think people like you, who put effort into their child's moral understanding will bennefit from a child who isn't burning down houses and spraypainting buildings. It takes a lot of you and a lot of comprimised time to raise a kid, that's not a statement, it's a warning to people who would like a child as an accessory to the picket fence and the rest of their american dream.
Posted by: Jay at July 10, 2004 10:51 PMTell those people if they're too busy to properly take care of kids in this day and age, then perhaps they shouldn't be having them...Selfish people shouldn't have children anyway, and that's exactly what these people are...
They want to have kids because they feel it's their right, but at the same time, they want to shirk the responsibilities as parents off onto the rest of society. They use their kids as an excuse, since that's a popular out cry in this day and age and is sure to get people's attention, when their delicate sensibilites are offended. Having kids isn't a "right", it's a privledge that comes with great responsibility.
I love my country, but Christ are we all really this stupid...because we keep falling for this ploy over and over again...
Once again, to all you selfish people...Your kids are your responsibility, not mine. If you can't raise them right, then don't bother having any (let alone 3 or 4 of them).
