I think your right i am getting off topic. I think FOTF is pushing their agenda in a civilized manner. With boycotts not riots. They get info, inform their followers who make a decision to agree or disagree. i.e. freedom. I "scanned" your links, and thank you for taking the time to find them, yet it's nothing but people who disagree with them. Yes they and i oppose gay marriage. it's my right to do so and it is not a crime to voice my opinion. If you disagree call those who give them the airtime.

It's called DEMOCRACY.
Protesting and e-mailing media is JUST THAT.
Where else are we going to hear about pornography rights for children using school computers, pedophilia rights activists, Homosexual agendists proselytizing first grade students. Curriculum warriors
Their programs can be quite enlightening, but, I still do what I feel is best for my children.
I haven't ever heard them putting out false information or begging for money.

I'm not saying the are un-democratic, do I mention democracy in my post? Do I mention a violation of human rights? NO.

I'm saying they are hypocrites who promote choice yet use religion to also promote censorship.

I completely agree, FOTF has every right to do what they do and I have every right to protest them. Do not misunderstand or misinterprate my post. That is not my point, it is not something I even mention.

Again i think we are working on 1 degree of seperation, but what shows have they had canceled? Moving some foul shows to later at night i like, but also makes me see your opinion and disagree with myself.
I like it because if i leave the room and my 18 month old grabs the remote i dont have to worry about my 7 YO watching south park. at the same time i should never be out of the room long enough for it to make a difference.

Are you saying they are 'pro-choice'?
Like abortions?


What are you talking about? Go back and read my first post fully. If you do not understand what I am talking about then you have not followed the debate and I've already gone through misconceptions with two posters. Hopefully you will understand and I won't have to go over it again.

then what is your point? from reading your posts you seem to try to convince us that religion is bad. are you part of this group? are they affecting your life directly?

they are not doing anything wrong or illegal. it is their views and they allowed to have them. and religion has always been used to push agendas. why are you acting as if this is something new.

the taliban say that god told them to bomb #.
Israelites aren't leaving because Israel is apparently their god given right.

education is declining but not because of these organizations but because of the parents/teachers/and kids.

teachers don't care, parents don't have time and kids are well kids.

these people are taking a genuine interest in their kids and community they should be supported not hated.

Alright I'll post this for the second time to clarify for those who are confused.

They are forcing people to do as they wish, while at the same time being hypocrites for saying people should be allowed to teach their children or censor their children as they wish while taking away an adults own ability to choose what is right for them to watch or not.

They are hypocrites, going back on their own mentality that it should be your right, not the government or theirs to say what you do with yourself or family.

So, you don't believe parents should be educated on what's going on in schools?
The media is about SENSATIONALISM and what's 'hot' at the moment.
MANY things go under the radar and I for one, want to know what kind of hare-brained curriculum is escaping 'out of the abyss' and into schools.

I never said differently.

these people are taking a genuine interest in their kids and community they should be supported not hated.

And choosing what is inappropriate for other parents and adults, being hypocritical because they differ from their own message that it is your own right to focus on your own family, what they watch, read, learn, and how they interact with you.

I have no proplem with parents wanting to know what is popular with kids these day and what their learning and such.

But they seem to be trying to control everything that goes through the school system and I dont agree with that.

My Grand-daddy actually helped tar and feather child molestors, and wife beaters, they ran them out on the rail.(train)
He was a devout Christian, but, when justice wasn't done, his 'militia' would do the rest.

[SNIP]

like i said before they are trying to do good things. all they are is insuring that their good deeds are being rewarded because they are making people used to all that stuff.

they are no different then the teachers you teach you that their is no God. they definitely have a hidden agenda but that doesn't matter at least they are trying to help.

Teach reading, writing and math. Leave the rest to me. Not trying to control it just tone it down. Teach fact not opinion. when it comes to social issues, thats my job. if others do it poorly dont make me and my family pay the price.
