[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 389305"] I didn't mean to imply that you were old (I myself am 31 years old but feel pretty much 71 at times). I grew up with a fairly laid back dad (though we're estranged for some of the same reasons he was "laid back" read "not there emotionally and didn't care" more than laid back actually). My mom was never home most times (3 jobs to cover his gambling debts and financial fiascos) so we pretty much had the run of the television at our own leisure. Even then, Canadian broadcasting was pretty...well offensive to tell the truth. I find our CRTC (the people who regulate what goes on the air here) are pretty laid back about a lot of things to the point where now shows like "Nurse Jackie" and "Sopranos" aren't censored at all, even during prime time (when families are still up here, we're talking after school). With satalite we now have time shifting capabilities and it really doesn't matter anymore if it's "prime time" or 2 am. Even cable companies are doing time shifting now. I wasn't lol'ing at the topic or any person just at the realization I made right after the first post I posted that our censors are completely different from each other. I'm sorry if I insulted you, I didn't quite come across the way I meant to. [/QUOTE]
