[QUOTE="Fran, post: 144934, member: 3"] Inflammatory talk radio does this for ratings. It's a slithery way to get attention. Some simple minds actually believe some of the garbage spewed forth by many radio talking heads. They hide behind their right to an opinion but it is the lowest type of entertainment. As damaging as porn. in my humble opinion because it breeds hate. There isn't a nationality or race that doesn't bear the burden of negative stereotyping. It does not make it right. The best thing people can do to improve the quality of their radio stations is to stop listening and stop buying products advertised. Let your outrage hit them where they hurt. Their wallets. Sarcasm and humor is different from downright hate mongering. It makes the picked upon race/nationality appear different from yourself. If I hear one more time about people being too politically correct and the offended should toughen up, I'll explode. It's the same empty heads who say "boys will be boys" when it's obvious that the child is affected. When the negativity is focused on that particular group they are the first to cry "foul". Sorry, guess it's a hot button. PS: if Loth or Cheryl find this out of line for this forum you are free to delete my thread. [/QUOTE]
