[QUOTE="Star*, post: 148617, member: 4964"] hwga - If you were raised to believe in nothing - what do you have to fear? If you fear nothing? What could be a consequence that would affect you to the point that you would consider changing your behavior or point of view? Todays tv writers and for that matter majority of people - have no fear - there are few people willing to go against the grain and say "THAT IS WRONG, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT, I don't care HOW sensitive you're trying to be or HOW all encompassing you wish to appear." Instead - we just slink back in the shadows, complain and hope no one thinks WE are the biggot or come off as sanctimonious. In fewer words - If you do not stand for something - you will fall for anything. Our television has seemingly fallen - and along with it a nation that says "Well I'd better not speak out - someone will think I'm pushing my views down their throat, or I'll offend someone." How about OFFENDING ME? How about what I think and feel and believe not counting for anything anymore? I'd just like to know when THAT happened. I maintain - people are sheep. - Sheep without a shepard tend to be scattered. So now the question is What do you do about it? And if you Do do something about it - how do you get people to follow?
