No more Family Guy!
I saw part of an episode of Family Guy last night as I was flipping through the channels and it is the last I'll ever watch. In it there was a scene of the Vietnam Wall Memorial. Three men were standing by it, two showing respect and one a Vietnamese man who was jumping up and down and gleefully pointing at the wall yelling score card! The Vietnamese then pointed at a name on the Wall and asked the two other men. " Your friend? I kill him! He cry like a little Bitch!" and then laughed histaricaly! I find it dispicable and beyond comprehension that the writers, and everyone involved, would find it somehow humorous to insult in such a manor the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for their Country! It was an insult to the fallen soldiers, to we veterans, to those now serving and a slap in the face to the families who's loved ones names are on the Wall! Those responsible are lower than pond scum in my eyes! Never again will that show be watched in my home!

Another in the foot prints of Murphy Brown stomping on family valuers and morals .

If you watch "Family Guy" or anything at all in this genre.....you have problems (and it probably starts with educational level). Grab a book, it is amazing what is inside!!

Spirithawk · « **Reply #6 on:** September 14, 2011, 07:13:07 AM »

I never watched it much anyways. Was just flipping through the channels when I saw it was about the Vietnam Memorial. As to reading a book, I average two to three a week and am writing two myself.

Part of my point was that when grandkids visit they aren't watching that crap either! Not on my tv, not in my home!

I was offended the very first time I saw that show on the air. I have never watched it and never will.

That's the great thing about our Country. They're free to put that crap on TV and we're free to not watch it. I occasionally watch the show and it has some pretty funny and some pretty terrible things. The people who write it aren't Democrats, they're Anarchists. Absolutely nothing is sacred or off limits. ANY "group" is fair game be it political parties, religions, sports, Obama, the medical field, teachers....pretty much anything you can think of. If it has a label, the writers of Family Guy will make fun of it.

I wonder if the kind of people that watch garbage like that, find the content of the clip funny. I assume that their intent was to make it funny for those that watch garbage like that.

Stop watching television. It's bad. The example you gave is just one example of many.

magooch · « **Reply #14 on:** September 15, 2011, 04:45:13 AM »

I watch something much more agregious than any of those silly cartoon thingies, nearly everyday. I watch the news and get a sick feeling in my gut every time they show clips of this loud mouthed idiot who keeps repeating, "Pass this bill, pass this bill." It's obscene.

Conan The Librarian · « **Reply #15 on:** September 15, 2011, 05:57:53 AM »

Back to the Viet Nam part of it, it's a symptom of an aging population of Viet Nam Veterans. The same kind of thing started happening in a big way starting about 1985 to the WWII vets. They were becoming politically irrelevant, despite all their accomplishments, like building a prosperous post-war economy. There were a lot of people picking on them, basically accusing them has being old has-beens and a burden on society.

Get ready for the same treatment if you're a Viet Nam Vet, except in your case there won't be a Tom Brokaw or Ken Burns to give people the perception that you were a member of a great generation. (Actually, I'd be surprised if Burns isn't working on a documentary, but it won't be as flattering as the WWII documentary he did.)

It's despicable, but that's the way I see it. I still love you, though. Thanks!

The type of people you find watching such tripe are of the same mind set that I encountered a few years back wearing an American flag patch on the seat of his britches. When it was brought to my attention I approached the individual (A—hole) and requested he remove the flag. He informed me that it was none of my business at which point I put him on the ground, rolled him over and removed the flag and a large piece of his jeans with my pocket knife. He wanted to make it a larger issue when I let him up but seeing I had the support, and backing of a rather large crowd he decided to just move on. This took place at a ballgame, as I was in line to buy a hotdog and drink. When I reached the window and ordered the person working behind the counter told me my drinks and dogs were on the house anytime I came back.

I would of removed the flag and planted by boot FIRMLY in it's place. Family guy is funny at times but way too disrespectful. If I had 5 minutes alone with the writers it would change dramatically.

The show has always been trash.

Another reason I seldom watch TV. We got it for my Sweetie, but she also finds very little worth looking at.

They are not Democrats they are Anarchist. Can you tell us the deference? Most of us are unable to put them in a different class.

Its all part of dumbing down the citizenry, and government, socialists, and the media have a pretty good handle on it.

Democrats LOVE big government, Anarchists hate any government and believe personal freedoms are more important than anything.

I belonged to a guitar forum and made a post about this. The guys there seemed to think if Ha Ha funny and defended it crying right to free speech. As I said, I did belong to that forum, I promptly told them where they could stick it. But not before explaining something to them. Yes there is a right to free speech, yes as a soldier I too fought for that right as well as the soldiers being mocked. However, free speech can not exist without morality. You have to have a ballance of both for it to work. Step over the line and you are no longer exercising free speech, you are abusing it. Of course they whined and screemed well who has the right to say where that line is? I reminded them of another right we have in this Country. The majority rules! A minority does not have the right to force its will nor beliefs on the majority! I also informed them that you disrespect a soldier, particularly a fallen soldier, in my presence and I am likely to feed you your teeth! Sorry but that's just how I feel about it.

Spirithawk,

I really do hope that you live somewhere near me. Your thoughts are "spot-on" and echo mine. You are proof that there are still some in this country with good personal convictions and a religious sense of right and wrong.

I live in Northern Texas for what that is worth,

SPIRITHAWK. Good post Sir, but the above statement is only true if you are not a muslim, illegal criminal, black, or homosexual. Seems they get by with most anything. POWDERMAN.

Anarchist are not Anarchist until they have destroyed the existing government. They are Democrats while they are tearing it down.

This is and should be defended under free speech. You are also free to not watch it and instead watch one of the other 900 channels available, or read a book, or go for a walk, or take a nap, or really do anything but watch what you don't want to watch. Legislating morality is slippery slope. Morality should be taught at home and church. I don't want Obama teaching MY kids HIS morality, do you? The well established line of free speech is when actual physical harm is risked (shouting FIRE, etc..) or libel. The rest is up to us, the consumer. If no one watches Family Guy, or think it's not funny, it would be taken off the air right?

The entire point of the US Constitution is that the Majority most certainly does not rule. "We hold these truths to be self evident..." and all. Also, be careful when feeding someone their teeth, as you may be trading those teeth for every firearm in your house, your house, and every penny you ever earned or will earn, or even your freedom.
