VIOLENCE VS SEX

[Duchess]

I thought it strange a few years ago that to some people graphic violence was more acceptable for their children to see rather than a bared breast. Now I've discovered that the sound of a woman being beaten is more acceptable (to some) than the sounds of sex. Go figure. Are you this uptight? Not saying this is cool to do around kids but jesus...

Not to get overly serious about it, but the mother is a twit, IMO.

Why use someone's sexual pleasure to introduce your kids to domestic violence via a lie? "He's beating her up" wouldn't be something that popped into my mind as an explanation for the kids.

If they're too young to understand sex, how about just telling the kids that the loud neighbors are playing an adult game and introducing the little ones to some good music instead?

I don't blame twit mom for being annoyed though if it's that loud and happens all the time. I've heard really loud couples in adjacent hotel and motel rooms going at it for long periods and sometimes wished they'd stop the dramatics and shut the hell up already. Screamers are the worst. Some couples could really benefit from his and her ball gags.

She is a Dumbass, brilliant way to teach your kids

Why are you assuming the mother wrote it?

Because the father would be listening and could appreciate a good fuck.

I'm not that uptight about my kids seeing violence or nudity on TV. My kids were like 10 and 14 at the time and I rented the movie Zack and Miri make a porno with Seth Rogen. I did have to turn that one off. Despite the title for some reason I just thought it was going to be another silly Seth Rogen movie with maybe a boob flash here and there. I was wrong about that one, I never jumped up so fast to grab the remote control.

Big mistake on that one. Here's your sign.

I came downstairs the other day to find my female watching the Lifetime channel. That's fine, she watches football with me, I can leave Lifetime on for a couple hours. 10 minutes into watching Flowers in the Attic, I'm reevaluating my estimation of the Lifetime channel. Seriously? It's a movie about child imprisonment, child torture, child murder, and incest. HOW is this better than Spike TV? At least Cops has moral high ground. Like how the Oxygen network is always showing movies about women getting beaten. It's supposed to be a network for women... is that what you all like to watch?

[Duchess]

is that what you all like to watch?

Not I. I'd rather cook a sit down dinner than watch damsels in distress or anything else of that nature.

[sally]

My mom use to watch that channel all the time. If it's not a woman being abused then it's a crazy bitch doing the abusing, like slowly poisoning her husband or some shit.

I would say about two or three times a year I watch a day long marathon of that channel.

This particular movie was from a very very popular book series in the early to mid eighties. I read it when I was twenty and so did nearly every other woman my age. I had a friend post something a few months back about it coming on Lifetime that week. She had almost 100 replys on her post, all from women my age. They already did this movie 20 years ago and fucked it up...I didn't watch it this time.

Anyhow, Sally is right...except for their Christmas movies, most of them have some deranged fucker in it. All of the movies seem to be dark and depressing.

[Cutz]

My female yelled at me that I made her out to be some lifetime watching woman. She said it was one time, and she'll never do it again.

TBH she watches HGTV more than anything. She also likes football.

[sally]

I like the House Hunters or whatever it's called on HGTV and I watch food network sometimes, other than that I'm not a big TV watcher.

[HairOfTheDog]

Are you fishing or just aiming for the (sexist) asshole of the week award, Cutz?

Either way, your female should muzzle, collar, and leash you.

Then, she should command you down on all fours and force you to watch taped Oxygen network programs -- all weekend, every weekend when football season starts (while she's at the sports bar watching the games).

That'll teach her male. Good male, good male.

[Cutz]

Am I sexist because I called her my female? I don't see that as a sexist term.

She didn't actually yell at me, she just feels I give you guys the wrong impression of her. /shrug.

[HairOfTheDog]

"My female" sounds so clinical or possessive; like she's your subject or pet. Same with "my male" in reference to a boyfriend or husband.

Hadn't heard either of them used as nouns in a personal context like that before.

I'm used to hearing and reading gender specifications as adjectives in a personal context, usually to differentiate between members of a mixed-sex group. Like, "my female friends are all coming over to watch Lifetime." Or, "my male dog slobbers a lot and it pisses my female dog off because she's an uppity bitch like that."

Wait...you don't have a male fiance too, do you? (Rhetorical; you don't seem like a two-timer.)

I'm mostly just messing with you, Cutz -- I'm probably just outta the lingo loop due to our age differences. Plus, if your little woman doesn't object, that's all that matters.

Well, shit, I just wrote a comment, and went to post it, and it freakin' disappeared. Just
wanted to say favorite channel is Investigation Discovery,, mostly true crime stories. I watch Lifetime sometimes, as I like Project Runway. Movies are a little overly dramatic and repetitious, but many are based on true stories also.
I think my grandchildren were allowed to have X-rated video games too soon as well as watching some movies which were restricted when they were very young. I did not approve but so be it....The one theme that runs through many of these stories is the battered women. You would think after all these years, that women would just leave, but we know that is most dangerous time so they stay and eventually are murdered. They need to have a plan, document every incident for police, secretly save money for getaway, contact Safe House, get help with job training, child care, etc. It is still dangerous but better than doing nothing to protect themselves against these bullies. Plus these women believe every negative thing her partner says to her.
I am feeling a bit guilty today as I called someone a piece of shit on Facebook...

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't watch much tv, but I like a few of the programs on Investigation Discovery a lot too. Homicide Hunter with Lt. Joe Kenda is one of my favorites; I like his style. On The Case with Paul Zahn is also good.

As for calling someone a piece of shit on Facebook, well..... . You seem to have good instincts, Blueberry. The person probably WAS being a piece of shit. Just brace yourself for the dreaded unfriending!!!!!!!

P.s. I like the harmonic jazz combo of the Four Freshmen -- very smooth. I listened to them with my dad sometimes. Way more talented than most of the 90s' boy bands.

[Duchess]

I called someone a piece of shit on Facebook...

I feel certain it was well deserved.

[blueberryhill]

Enjoyed listening to Day by Day (4 Freshmen)..Thanks.
Ironically, the person I called a name was not a friend, it was a poster on the death of Robin Williams. At first I was respectful when he brought God into his post, but he said if Robin had God in his life, he would still be alive and he and many others said he was now going to Hell and he said I was consorting with the Devil, etc....I gave my little spiel on depression, etc....and after he posted 6 comments praising the Lord, I called him a bible thumping, hypocritical, judgmental piece of shit.
