ShowCase should be banned

WTF are you talking about? They air unedited movies at all times of the day in Canada.

I was comparing it to that scene in "Angels in America". I think a kid watching "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" may be more damaging than that scene. And 1 AM on a Saturday night is far more reasonable for 14 year olds to be up than 11 PM on a school night.

Christ, what kind of puritanical household did you grow up in?

[notyoueither]

14 and to put to bed by mommy by 11?

[KrazyHorse]

I've watched Jay and Bob, and it's not particularly bad.
I've never seen angels in america but it sounds a lot worse than that...

By 15 I was out at parties all night long. By 16 I was out at bars all night long and getting trashed as often as I could afford it...

And people wonder why kids are so ill behaved these days. Lack of discipline by the parents. When I was a kid in the 80s, no one in my neighborhood was staying up past midnight when they were just out of grade school (12 years old is 7th grade).

I don't think any responsible parent would have their 14 year old kid stay up past midnight when they had to get up for school at 6:30 AM the next morning!

I guess my parents weren't responsible then.

I stopped having a bedtime somewhere around 12 or 13

[Imran Siddiqui]

Don't mean to offend, but I'd say that wasn't very responsible of them.

And how responsible is it of a network to broadcast irresponsible sex while the children of irresponsible parents are still up?

That's the point. There are gonna be kids watching it at that time.

I learned pretty quickly that if I didn't go to sleep I'd be tired when my ass was woken up at 6:15

Yup, your parents weren't responsible. Don't feel bad, most parents arn't.

My parents only recently stopped giving me a bedtime, and I'm 18.

NYE, one question, that I think could help you in this debate.

- If the scene occured during heterosexual sex, and the condom broke, and the man (or woman, whatever) said to keep on going, would you be just as outraged?

[notyoueither]

Yes.

The problem is the irresponsible attitude towards sex.

Sorry, it's not the responsibility of everyone else to be responsible for irresponsible parents.

I watched silence of the lambs, single white female and prince of tides at the tender age of 11, all with the full knowledge and consent of my mother.

Allright. Just want to point this out to the rest of the debaters in order to stop the ad hominum attack regarding closet homosexuality (Which I really don't think is fair)
