Distasteful as it WILL be, more free speech is good for the country, as it will inspire more discussion of issues, some of which might actually be helpful.

Just keep it out of the schools below college level.

No, there is a probably place for sex ed in high school, but the educational system changes I might propose would go farther than sex ed.

Thanks for the tip of the hat on free speech, Jon. Although some free speech pisses me off, the alternatives to free speech are worse.

As soon as they can successfully teach the three R's then maybe they can move on to more complex subjects.

Teaching isn't the issue - it is the parent's expectations (or lack there of) that are the issue.

Do parents have expectation about their kids learning reading riting, and rithmatic? People who can read, write and "cipher" can be taught more complex subjects.

Now ODU/Northeastern is on the tube and I have gotta watch. So go on without me.

Your concerns over the LGBT agenda notwithstanding? Good on ya Native! I appreciate your consistency on free speech. :thumb:

Sex ed should be taught by the parents, same as religion. Just as I'm not ready yet to discuss viagra commercials with my young kids, I feel the same way about Christianity and gay relationships. I just wish the network would simply decide to air appropriate commercials focused on non offensive issues like the swilling of beer. :thumb:

Forced-birth Ad by Hate Group - OK
Ad promoting love - BAD

The Super Bowl ad debate increased Friday as CBS officially rejected an ad for a gay men’s dating Web site, according to a report on Mashable.com.

The rejection of the ad is likely to add flames to the fire over the acceptance of an ad from anti-gay group Focus on the Family.

You have been very angry lately...everything ok man?

I watched the commercial on deadspin yesterday. Didn't see anything wrong with it, nor did I think it was a good commercial. It didn't appear to really be an ad promoting love...but, I thought it was funny, especially with the Packers and Vikings jersey.

I guess what I don't understand about either "controversy" (Tebow ad, gay ad) is who watches the commercials? I could care less about the commercials, I want to watch the Saints defense annihilate Peyton!

Our country is so uptight and hypocritcal about sexual relationships it is unbelieveable. Europeans think we are insane. We have no qualms with showing graphic violence to our children on TV every night and yet ban an ad invites people to a website. We raise our children on violence. No one is forcing anyone to do anything. Where are all the conservatives pounding their chests over freedom and liberty? Oh, yes, over on the FAUX Channel, that bastion of 'family values'..until you see the shows in their lineup.

Fu*k Europe and quit trying to act like anyone in this country gives a flying fu*k what those liberal losers think.

I am not for censorship for adults, but I am for censorship of both sex and violence for children.

Due to "popular" culture, our society is all the more coarse and impoverished.
