same sex parents show on Nick

[§äñît¥ Pôí§ðñ]

I just watched it (out of boredom, of course).
I don't think it lived up to the hype. Most things don't...
It was more of a "waah can't we all just get along" type show, it was very tame

rosie o'donnell scares me

 

[Heavy Weight Champ]

Thats gay.....literally

 

[PinK233]

I'm sorry but that is ridiculous...I mean, is it necessary to have a show with same sex parents? And on a children's station?! This country is becoming so politically correct and its quite sickening, it seems as if anything goes nowadays...

why not?

to not show it on TV would be saying its wrong....and it isnt accordng to the government is it?

maybe it will show children that lesbian and gay parents can bring up children just as well in the face of difficulties, and that they shouldnt be sterotyped.....maybe it will show children that celebs might be willing to latch ionto sexuality as a method to boost ratings. who knows.....all i know is if rosie o donnel is one of the lesbians no dad in the country is gonna be watching with his kids

 

[§äñît¥ Pôí§ðñ]

it was heavily protested, but Nick went with it anyway

How is it politically correct to produce a show with same-sex parents?

 

[SofaGeorge]

Nick went with it BECAUSE it was heavily protested. Their ratings numbers are in the toilet. They are trying anything to get them up.

How is it politically correct to produce a show with same-sex parents?

Well, there's no problem producing shows with opposite-sex parents, and the homosexual community would have a protesting field day if, heaven forbid, someone refused to produce a show based on same-sex parents on a childrens' TV station.

The whole point of political correctness is "conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated." In other words, don't hurt someone's feelings.

Pretty silly if you ask me. The only criteria of whether or not Nick would show a same-sex parenting show should be "do you feel like showing it?"

Its all liberal propaganda....everyone wants their rights and far be it from me to say they cant have them, but do kids need to view it on television??? NO!

Ok, I have to disagee with you on this. Most studies have shown that biggoted behaviour is ingrained at an early age....like kindergarten or sooner. Personally, I think exposing kids to different lifestyles early (and no, this doesn't mean encouraging or promoting that lifestyle) is a good thing. What's wrong with showing tolerance?

I know a lesbian couple with a 10 year old son. He never gets hasseled by his friends or anyone in his peer group. They're just like "Rob has 2 moms...big deal." I think when kids are taught tolerance, it's much more benifical to them in the long run. Tolerance equals a greater acceptance of new ideas, which in turn helps them cope with all the bullshit life will throw at them.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[the nature boy]

who cares, live and let live. these people aren't going away, and truthfully they're adopting the kids that nobody wants. more power to em. we should be thanking these people for adopting the terminally ill and children of "undesirable races".

Why shouldnt children see homosexual parents? Children do not have a problem with homosexuality, adults do . This sort of programme will teach children that homosexuality should be a nonissue and people who are homosexual are typical people, not freaks to be hated and feared.

 

[Latimer]

Gay.

 

[paradox]

Back in biblical times someone caught comitting a act of homosexuality was stonned to death.

Also the gay shit needs to stay off kids networks in my opinion.

 

[smallmovesal]

i think i forget the part in the bible where it says to stone people who stick peepees in other men's bums should be stoned. nevermind the fact that the romans were doing it and they were "christians" - if that matters.

i'm with taps on this one.

good parents are good parents. i know some heterosexual people who should not have had kids... i'd rather have rosie parenting because she seems to spend quality time with her kids and she really takes an interest in raising her children and having a loving family.

I never said it stated it anywhere in the bible, however in biblical "times" anyone caught in a homosexual act were stoned to death, same goes for adultery (sp?)

 

[musclebrains]

"Political correctness" is mainly a pejorative coded expression to classify anything liberal or multicultural in a negative way. The attraction of the expression is that its user appears to be something of a free thinker, a rebel, in not conforming to a "correct" (but corrupt) agenda.

The reality is that most of those things deemed "politically correct" have marginalized status. Thus to call showing a program with gay parents "politically correct" ignores the fact that, however "correct" you may think it wants to represent itself, gay people still have secondary status. (The irony ought to be obvious: In about 12 states, sodomy is still illegal and yet people in those states can turn on the television and watch Queer as Folk.)

Some of the criticism dumped under the label "politically correct" is warranted, no doubt -- like the bizarre use of hypersensitive language in the early 90s, a pretty dead movement by now -- but the term has become such a predictably broad way of condemning anything of multicultural sentiment that its use almost always indicates the user's own effort at thought control.

This may stun you Warik, but television producers long refused to produce gay programs. I don't think my community spent much effort opposing that. We instead focused on specifically negative depictions which, in the absence of favorable depictions, became viewed as factual. As for children's shows, we've already begun our insidious takeover via the Teletubbies. As long as "your people" have Jerry Falwell, I think you're safe.

Picture of young homosexual with the well-known gay recruiter, Tinky Winky, modeling position for highly impersonal sodomy, otherwise known as "pillow biting":

 

[casavant]

A good same-sex couple is going to raise a much more emotionally stable child than some fucked-up, backwards-ass, hetero couple. Hey, in an ideal world, all kids would live with the parents they were born to, and those parents would be good parents. But we don't live in an ideal world and never will. Noone is taking these kids out of loving hetero homes and placing them with gay couples. Gay couples with children should not be the target of persecution.

Umm...the Romans killed Jesus, if that matters.

They were still Christians, were they not? They just didn't think Jesus was who he said he was.

 

[spentagn]

No. There were no Christians at this time. Jesus was a Jew. Christianity basically began after His death, led by former Jews who followed Him. At least that's what I remember from my Sunday School days

 

[Robert Jan]

I dont know which I believe- that sexual preference is genetic or evolved, but I think the latter is true and if homosexuality will ever be completely socially accepted there will probably be a large rise in it. logically in polls etc cuz people would say it more but maybe also in actual homosexuality.

Well I'll be damned.

what does the bible have to do with the TV show? please stay on topic.

Also, if parents showed some kind of interest in what their kids watched they could prevent their kids from watching that show.

 

[john937]

The Romans that crusified Jesus were Pagan at the time, worshiping Zeus and other gods we today call mythology.
The Romans washed their hands of the crusifiction, it was totally on the heads of the Jews who ordered it and could have stopped it.
The followers of Jesus formed Christianity after the crusifixion as they spread to Europe. It took several hundred years before you could say the Romans were Christian.

About the whole stoning of gays thing:
This is basically a longstanding mistranslation of the bible that occured in the 1600's.
The bible translaters had very sketchy understanding of Greek and Aramaic.
Their world view was that all homosexuals consisted of pederasty, older men with young boys.
So of course their translations came out biased against it.
Modern day scholars have learned so much about translating Greek since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
We now know the stories are talking about temple priest/prostitutes of the worshipers of the idol Baal.
It was predicated on the beliefs that men were more valuable then women, and if you gave money to the priests then you obligated the God to give you what you wanted.
People would give the priest money and have sex with him which would "obligate" God to bless them with fertility and children.
The Jewish laws are basically saying "We don't believe that!"

There is a new translation of the Bible just coming into print.
The Oxford University 4th edition has corrected the way many of the "clobber" passages are translated,
and in the study footnotes has made it clear
that there is NO BIBLICAL COMDEMNATION OF HOMOSEXUALITY as we think of it today.

But what is God going to do for the mentally challenged bigot?

 

[Puddles]

I don't know what the show is that started this thread but I doubt that it's showing anything inappropriate to the kids. My daughter watches a lot of Nick and I will have to take a look at it myself...can someone give me the name of the show?

Unfortunately these days, there are so many broken homes, women with children from multiple relationships where there is no stability. What's wrong with two women or two men raising a child as long as they are a happy, loving group of people? Children learn from the actions of the adults who raise them. It is better to have two caring parents as opposed to just one parent, or a bad couple. I'm sure the show isn't showing the parents being intimate, which would be inappropriate even if they are a hetro couple. Most of the kids will probably just think of the two adults as roommates/best friends. And there's nothing wrong with a hug and a kiss...I greet all of my friends and relatives that way.

Look at how openminded and unjudging the little children are. They make friends, either same sex or opposite, it doesn't matter, they will still hold hands as they're walking, they will still hug each other...until the ideas of sexuality are dumped upon them by others.

Once, when my daughter was about 5 or 6 y.o., she said that she wished girls could marry other girls because she loved her best friend so much that she would want to marry her when she grew up. That really made me think. SHE understood better than most adults that purely loving someone is what the best relationships are based on...simple friendship and love. She knew nothing of sexuality at that time.

As for the religious aspect...religions are constantly changing as people gain knowledge about what makes things go round. I don't know anyone who believes that the moon is a god these days. I don't have any firm traditional religious beliefs, although I was raised Catholic. I believe in being kind, loving, honest, and respectful of others, hurting no one and being tollerant of people with different ideas. I think those things are the basis of most modern religions anyway. If what you are doing is kind, loving, honest, and respectful, how can it not be the right way to live?

Sharing your love with someone is special...I don't think it's wrong if that person happens to be the same sex.

Hehe, actually they're pretty gross. Great people, but very much on the butch side.

Of course, I fixed the spelling errors.

If Mother Nature, after thousands of years couldn't figure out how two gay people can have children, i don't think it's the government's job to figure it out either.

Brilliant.

If Mother Nature, after thousands of years, couldn't figure out how to transplant organs, I don't think it's medical science's job to figure it out either. If MN, after blah blah, couldn't figure out how to preserve herself, I dont' think it's environmental science's job to figure it out either. If...blah blah couldn't figure out how two sterile heterosexuals can have children, I don't think it's the state's job to figure out adoptions either.

 

[rushx79]

ummmm the romans were not christians.how can you even think this? anyways, i dont give a shit if there is a same-sex parent show on nick... there are a ton of hetero shows on every channel, might as well let them have one or two shows to themselves.

the fundamental tenet of PC is: "acknowledgement of facts or discussions which may lead one to a disfavored conclusion are prohibited"

e.g., not only is it taboo to state that a particular gender lacks a certain skill, but it is taboo even to argue whether it *might* be the case, independent of truth or obviousness. to raise the possibility is prohibited. even simply pointing to well-established facts without comment is not allowed if those facts lead to a disapproved conclusion.
