Last I checked TV is fairly ambivalent to the religious community
The FCC, however is not (see v-chip, mandatory TV ratings). Granted, they [the major networks] push the envelope to the limits of acceptable (although questionable) taste, but that only shows that their are limits. Remember the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction? It was the religious community that made that an issue.
As for the aside, I quite agree; and if I can bring it back to the original comment, they are doing nothing with that power to benefit the consumer, and everything to protect (enhance?) their bottom line.
They are. Name one program that has stayed on the air even though it gets low ratings and is expensive to produce ( I realize there are multiple reasons for this, bear with me). The television companies may have started out attempting to offer quality programming for your enrichment (or some other noble goal), but the end result of 60+ years of business is this: Produce programs that grab a viable portion of the viewing audience as leverage to increase sales from the advertising market. Your quantifiable experience is irrelevant, except as it pertains to your repeat viewing. Sadly, the only thing that really keeps the programs in check is the stronghold the religious community has over hollywood and various government agencies.
Working for a University, someone should have informed you that using triple negatives makes for poor sentence structure, and obfuscated readability. Please don't not stop doing it.
I leaned on google and found out that you live in seattle, have accounts on Newsforge, and Transgaming, play NWN, and live in seattle. I suppose I could find more if I wanted to spend more than 45 seconds on something I'm barely intereasted in.
Security through obscurity: it's not just a method, it's a way of life!;)
Idoit! Don't tell them that! What are you going for, the first slashdotted city?
Everything he said is a lie. It's a miserable place with lots of rain and overcast days. Seasonal depression sets in hard and fast. It takes all my willpower not to spend my time painting my nails black while listening to The Cure.

Maybe it's because his sympathy meter is so delicate that he is a cold hearted bastard, you insensitive clod!

I'm afraid I can't process any analogies unless they are in car form...
wouldn't you be better off betting you would? At least then you could use the money to pay for the healthcare.
what the hell is a man-trap?
Stupid magic anonymous cowards with their endless wealth and information, being all anonymous and magicy. I hate them.

I fail to see how a car analogy wouldn't work. Because cars require no training to use, and improper use never results in injuries?
It is (thanks, wifey!).
yes, perhaps you should have.
what are you attacking?
