And yet why set a playboy, which I have HEARD... ahem... not read, has some very good articles in it that are clean in front of you. Hmmm... why dont we just TURN to certain pages instead of flipping through the whole magazine! Hey good idea, where do I describe!?!?!  Ahem.. anywayz... well I guess thats a good way to start it off!
I just was reading this, and figured I'd throw in my comments! Not to bash anybody or anything, but just thought i'd hmmm... Run my mouth!?! =D But one thing that came to mind while reading this thread is what about the future generations!?!? Yeah, YOU may be able to control what you watch, and YOU may be able to resist the garbage, and YOU may be able to determne whats right and wrong... but what about your kids!?!? If every generation let down just a little bit, where would we be, or even the UPCI be, in three generations!? We've set a standard not to have a television because we have drawn a line. There ARE some good things on television, I must admit, yet whats the purpose of it? Entertainment? Self enjoymnt? OR JUST A WASTE OF TIME!?!?!? The average American spends close to three hours a day watching television.. AHEM!!! I also have researchable and valid proof for that! Now do any of you have that kind of time in a day to do that? Well if you do, please forgive me for saying so but, GET A LIFE!!! =D And I smile when I say that! Now there is the argument that its family time! Lol, sorry to shoot this down, but ever heard of talking around a living room? Playing board games together? Our family used to go for a walk every night. And I'm closing, lol, our favorite three words.. But one last thing, if you were to sit in front of a TV, or even your kids, and your mind is constantly entertainment, how much do you expect in a church service? It so much harder for a congregation to push through the veil of our flesh due to the mentality of entertain me, entertain me!!! And not only that, but how much is our knowledge increasing by WATCHING something? Our imagination is NOT being used therefore our brain knowledge does not expand! Ask any college professor, or doctors, or research EXPERTS and they'll tell you that TV is not goood for you anyways! Thats also in aarticle I'm going to hafta to look up! But anyways... I'm done! I just thought I'd thorw this out there! And this is just about watching TV alone, not about advertising on Tv, and thats going to hafta come later cuz I gota JAM!! I'm OUT!!!

the articles aren't anything you can't get in more PG or PG-13 rated men's magazines...
but, see, that's the thing here... The Internet is the one with porn a click away... If you have tv, even the high-end cable, you will only get nudity if you pay for premium channels (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, ppv, or porn channels)... Even the most comprehensive cable package, without premium channels/services, has absolutely no nudity in it... Yes, there is a lot of inuendo, but it is nothing like Playboy, which is why your comparison doesn't work...
A better comparison is "Should I cancel my subscription to Sports Illustrated because once a year they make a swimsuit issue that you don't even have to get if you don't want it??"...

I'm not sure what planet you're on, but here in America nudity, sex, violence, homosexuality, drugs and many other ungodly things are able to be seen on basic cable channels. You must remember that many of the TV-14/PG13 shows that are seen now would have been R rated and some even X rated just a few years ago.

Just as you may install blockers for some websites, you can install blockers for certain TV ratings. You can set it to only allow PG rated TV shows if you wish!
YOU determine what kind of content is allowed in your household!

I doubt many would argue any points you made. The issue that is proving out is, you can't legislate this on a national or international level anymore.
There is diversification of thought as to the use and control of internet, video, cell/internet, etc. It is senseless and obscure to leave TV out of all that. Thus the reason for DB to address principles as an important ingredient.

Yet what is the internet used for in your home? We have internet obviously, and it is mainly used for a tool. Of course we have sites like this, which I do enjoy, and church websites, but like I said, a TV is for pure entertainment. I havnt ever heard of somebody watching TV to learn something or look up something. Its kinda funny that the Discovery channel seem to be the most popular channel!  Is that why you have a TV? Just for the discovery channel? I doubt it. And like it was mentioned, the ratings have been getting lower. What was X rated is now R rated, and what was R rated is now PG and PG13. So what good does that do???
