Not only that but cartoon network was supposed to be for kids now they air Adult swim on at night so my child can't even watch cartoons late at night on the weekends shows like that should be put on spike channel or something not a channel designed for children IMO

Your post is totally wrong of waht some have said in here, this has nothing to do with parenting skills as far as sex and drugs and alcohol go.

Some of us pay extra to live in a small town community where the schools are rated #1 in the state, the violence and crime are very minimal due to the IYC Prison being here (yes the one Mike Tyson was in), Indiana Boys School and not to mention the Indiana State Police Academy.

But even in a community as such that I live in there is still going to be your pothead 7th graders and your cussing 4th graders and that curious 8th-9th grade teens that want to play I'll show you mine if you show me yours game.

Protect your children to your best ability but don't smoother them and your kids will turn out just fine!!!!

Oh yeah Johhny Bravo is such a good show to let your kids watch when a cartoon character humps things and feels up women, its cartoon network not comdey central or hbo.

thats what i was gonna fucking say!

well i't about fucking time! :thumbsup

He didnt post it on GFY I posted it on GFY I posted the link and the article because i know some are to lazy to click a link like myself LMAO

Well I don't think letting a child cuss and being exposed to it, is the same thing. Like I wouldn't let my child drink coffee, because it's an adult thing but I would drink it in front of them. Kids are not as stupid as people think they are. Good parenting and teaching kids right from wrong, goes way beyond "watching your language". If you are a good parent otherwise, you're children will know when they can or can't do something and if they make a mistake, that's when you teach them the right thing.

Most kids know foul language is for adults... I don't see an epidemic of kids going around cussing uncontrollably. (yet) I never cussed in front of my parents, but I started cussing around my friends probably when I was like 10. I knew when I could and when it wasn't appropriate. It's the parents responsibility to teach kids about common sense more than anything else.

:1orglaugh Oh please... you need to travel more... We get cursing and nudity on TV here anytime during the day... and I would bet alot of money that kids swear less here that they do in the states... Second.. its not because it will be tolarated that you'll ear "Fuck" 10 times in your favorite familly sitcom! However... you'll be able to hear people talk on talk shows without the bleeping sound like we dont know when the hell they said!! Oh btw... dont you find hypocritical to see adult theme shows with violence and sexual situation but God forbid... they will never go as far as saying "fuck" or "shit" !!??? :1orglaugh

If that happens, this place is going to get a lot of plugs on the air.

Fuckin' a :thumbsup

Hold up just because i posted the fucking thread doesn't mean I am against it I actually voted for it not against it jeesh LOL

That guy did not post on GFY if you look to the left of the post you will see TaraD posted it with a link to the site she found about it.

A-FUCKING-MEN!!!!!!!

No no no! :NopeNope

Fuckin B

It has more holes :Graucho :1orglaugh

Sorry BrentD... What I meant was alot deeper than what you read. ;-)

I may not always put things in the perfect form but it usually takes more thinking than what most want to employee.

Doesn't really matter... TV is obsolete.

So I'm guessing she actually makes it to the room uniterrupted like 15% of the time?

So they say the word fuck when they aren't around me, when they are with their friends....... so they might say the word shit...... so fucking what, man. At least they aren't picking up guns, playing with them or having sex with everything they see on the streets. My kids don't do drugs and they aren't violent or mean spirited. In fact, I have had teachers call me to tell me what charming personalities they have. So apparently MY saying the word fuck, shit, damn, or whatever isn't hurting them in their day to day lives.

I teach my kids to respect others FEELINGS, their opinions, and their space, and to respect themselves and keep in mind they are human too. I don't teach them that if they say the word fuck, that they are going to hell, jail or otherwise be idiots. MY life isn't so shallow that I believe that they don't screw up when I am not around, BUT I have very open communications with my kids and they tell me themselves when they fucked up, I don't hear it from others.

For example, my oldest, who is now 19, told us HERSELF that she had tried pot and didn't like it, wasn't the thing for her and so on.... I didn't have to go bail her out of jail, she tried it, didn't like it and didn't do it again.

This may come as a REALLY bad thing on my part where some are concerned, but I TEACH my kids to think outside the box, I don't want to shelter them and completely guard them from the outside world...... why? Because THAT is the very thing I am trying to teach them to DEAL with, is what's beyond my front door. The BEST thing I can do is teach them about it and let them always know that no matter what happens to them, I am here...... to help them, guide them and shelter them when I can. BUT if they are going to do something, they HAVE to know there are consequences and nothing is ever free..... so many I see now want to shelter their kids from what's outside their front door and THOSE are the kids that you see picking up a gun to shoot someone because they simply pissed them off........ the ones that get divorced at the drop of a hat because "Oh my marriage must be over because we had a fight and my mom and dad NEVER fought"..... PLEASE!!

TEACH THEM TO DEAL WITH THE WORLD AROUND THEM!!! NOT to be scared of it!

No I am not the best mom in the world, but I have 4 VERY well adjusted and happy kids that haven't a violent bone in their bodies and DO respect their elders and others around them.

My parents allowed me to watch the Blue Lagoon when I was 5-6 years old. It had nudity and sexual situations in it but they thought it was a valuable movie for me to see. My mother's friends at work flipped out when she told them she'd let me watch it, but she defended her decision and I think I'm all the better for it.

I also monitor my kids television and internet. They watch mostly Cartoon Network, Toon Disney, Animal Planet and Nickelodeon. But I do also let them watch movies after I've screened them first. They've seen movies with some violence in them like Spiderman and Daredevil, but I do make them leave the room if something sexual comes on if they've walked in while we're screening something. Like I would not allow them to see the Neo/Trinity sex scene in the Matrix Revolutions, for example, so they have not seen that movie at all.

I'm for free speech, and we can't take away that right just because some parents can't or won't take responsibility for what their children watch. :)

We get enough of the word fuck online I dont want to hear that shit on tv

Now that would rock.

Sounds good to me, Tam. Sex is about the only thing we censor around here because mine aren't old enough to deal with it, yet. I agree thar kids need to know what is right and wrong, and by sheltering them parents aren't teaching them either way, they are avoiding the issue.

EXACTLY!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

My kids damn well know if they come at me cussing at me or disrespecting me on any level using ANY words, they have HAD it......not because the government says so, but because I damn well say so. LMAO

It's so damn easy to sit them in front of a tv or computer, but it's damn sure not easy to KNOW them and TEACH them...... but it's my JOB and I take it as seriously, if not more so, than I do making the money to pay the bills to keep them fed and housed.

Usually, if I see it I am all hands, if not she gets away with it;)

A-Fucking-Men

i agree with you tootie My kids watch movies as well. I grew up on Horror Movies am I a violent person no it is all in what we teach our kids and I see nothing wrong with it.

On the absolute FLIP side of this....... I was not allowed to watch ANYTHING on tv from the time I was 9-17 that wasn't Saturday morning cartoons or Disney. My step mother did her level best to shelter us from EVERYTHING on TV....... BUT, I was physically abused as a child by my dad and emotionally abused by my mother and step mother. THAT is where I learned my violence and anger, NOT from TV and Radio, because I wasn't allowed to watch the shit.

Yes I have calmed down A LOT, but I do still show signs sometimes of a very violent temper and I rage at the drop of a pin, especially if it is something I am passionate about, but I didn't get it from TV and Radio.

I GOT IT FROM MY OWN HOME!! THAT is what was taught to ME! It takes a constant conscious effort for me to hold my temper in check and not rage, my husband is a HUGE part of helping me deal with this, but I deal with it and the choices I make now as an adult are my own to make. He is my backup and level head when I can't handle it on my own. If not for him, I'd be shit.......... and yes I can say this in all honesty because it's HIS patience and hard work supporting me that has helped me deal with it. HE wasn't lazy where I was concerned.

Tam I know how you feel i grew up in a very christian like home but yet my parents used a little more discipline that they should have meaning closed fists etc till my mom got help as she was a abused child as well. This made me very angry and I tend to have a bad temper and keep myself in check as well.

When I was 9 I was at bed by 9 pm

Am I the only one that thinks this is made up? I mean, why isn't this in the media at all? You'd think if something like this was really decided, we would hear about it on the news. Or at least on a news website.

hmm....

I think its ok on TV,

all tv shows have parental controls and age recomendation ratings, and are label if they have bad lanaguage,

so its ok with me,

radio on the other hand should stay regulated, like it is, in my my book,


regulate the radio,
keep tv somewhat ok, but with filters,
and leave the internet wild and crazy and keep the kids of it,

thats the solution

WHY? you might ask, because that the society standard thats what people want and expect, they expect porno and trash online, and they expect the radio to be borring,

I hate censorship, but im all for standards that make sense,

I still here "USA" channel censor out "ass" and "god damn".

DUH I did say late at night on the weekends and a adult show doesnt belong on a kids channel period it is supposed to be a all kids network that is why it is fucking called cartoon network. She does go to bed at 9 during the week but is aloud to stay up late on the weekends

Oh jeeze man if I hear the word "fuck" coming out of my TV while my kids are up, I'm gonna absoutely spaz. After hours is one thing, but all day? That's a little much.

Wow, can't wait to see this put into action.. I am going to laugh my ass off when I see it on a kid's show....

"Well kids, today's show has been brought to you by the letter is "F" and today's favorite number is "6" and finally, today's favorite word is "FUCK"....."

TV late on weekends = porn

Let me expand a little..my kids are small, 3 and 5, and I don't want them running around parroting those words.. (then again I doubt I would ever have the tv on a channel where they would hear that, but flipping through or something who knows it might happen). We do not use foul language around our children, we don't allow other people to do so. I don't feel that as sheltering so much as trying to set a good example about what's rude or not. They HAVE heard those words, and we have explained to them why they are not acceptable.. But hearing them on tv... well that would be pretty crummy. Maybe that's just me though.

Our 3 year old is in bed every night at 8PM, our 9 year old is in bed at 8PM during the week for school and Fri/Sat she gets to stay up till 9-10PM.

I was running the streets and staying gone for 2-3 weeks at a time when I was 11-13 and skipping school for months, my ass ended up in a juvenile center till I was 18 too, I know wahts it like to be a runaway and skipping school and getting into trouble, my kids will not go through that I assure you.

So let me get this straigh...
a 9 year old cant:

watch cartoon network
say or hear the word fuck (other from their parents)
watch their mom walking in the house naked :1orglaugh

a 9 year old can:

stay late at night on weekends watching tv
hear their parents cuss...

did I miss anything?

Yeah I noticed those shows too.... When my kids stay up later when they're older, I'm going to be watching VERY closely what shows are on when they are watching tv later at night..

I'm not sure if I really believe this yet. I havn't seen it anywher else other than that website, which isn't exactly a trusted news source.. but if it IS true, I doubt it'll even be used much by the major networks. They still won't do it for any show kids would watch since a lot of people are still against it.. even if they ARE allowed to do it

Yeah my kids have a pretty set schedule.. if I screw that up too bad my little guy has a hard time getting back into a routine for school during the week.

Cursing doesnt make you a juvie...

Again, where is the fucking proof that this is true?

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...ves+the+f+word

shouldnt be aloud on a kids network channel that is supposed to have 24/7 kids cartoons

How many fucking times do I have to explain this to you are you that fucking stupid dude? I sensor my kids tv for nudity and violence I never said i censor it for language i do however remember telling you this repeadelty. I didnt start this thread saying that i disagree with what they are doing either so get it straight there is nothing wrong with a kid staying up late on the weekends i was aloud to when i behaved. God are you blonde?

Kids know the word fuck, but they think it is wrong, if they start hearing it on tv and radio, they will think it's okay to use. Not cool.

also there is a big difference between walking around nude in my home 24/7 which i don't do and running from my bathroom to my bedroom to get dressed.

do your kids see violence on TV ?! uh...

I repeat.. In most free and socially modern countries.. you'll ear cursing on TV... and ofcourse you will not ear swearing on Kids' shows..

I'll bet that no ones curse more that american kids... over here, kids know that cursing make you look stupid... and yes we have cursing on mainstream TV...
