Fox is reporting that a public school showed Broke Back Mountain to 12 year olds, what is up with that?

Fox.

I don't doubt it. Wanna know why spiderman is doing so well. No movies for kids. Other supposed movies for kids - filled with homosexual and hetrosexual inuendo.

Your kid is going to turn gay. Outrage!

Homosexual indoctrination. Dont fight it!

Are you asking 'what's up with that' because Fox aired that Brokeback Mountain was shown, or just the simple fact that that movie was shown?

And someone please tell me what makes Fox so inferior to the other news channels. I keep hearing Fox getting bashed and I'm sick of hearing it...for the simple fact that the other two channels aren't much different. Jeez.

What's wrong with showing that movie in school? Are there nude scenes or dudes making out or something? People have gotten so fuckin whiney nowadays. Stop whining, grow some balls/spine and STFU!

Chick flick! Noooooo!

"Turn gay," you said it all Syz.

Chasing Amy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasing_Amy)is a better choice

Has it got big guns, napalm and lots of gratuitous violence in it?
NO.
Therefore it's a chick flick, ergo it falls into the category of "not good". :D

Perhaps the fact that FOX fired a newscaster for refusing to do a story she knew was a lie.
She sued FOX and won, however FOX appealed the verdict based on the notion that as a news organization they are not obligated by law to tell the truth - they are fully within their rights to lie to the public and falsify stories... AND THEY WON.

FOX lost every shred of credibility with many people (anyone with any sense of integrity and responsibility, in my opinion) when they openly and unapologetically admitted to lying and falsifying stories and forcing their employees to do so.

Yes, they are different than the others.

Who is the fired newscaster?

Jane Akre.

NO.

There is some lesbian sex.:shrug:

Can I change my mind?

Sorry, you snooze, you lose; changing minds is a woman's prerogative ONLY.

changing minds is a woman's prerogative ONLY.
and I DO NOT LIKE SHOES. That's me dead then. :D
(PS, you know ToR's back?)

Did FOX care to mention why the school showed the movie to the kids?

I'm stunned. :eek:

"Traumatized"?? I think that is taking it MUCH to far (so is the 1/2 million dollar lawsuit), but I fully agree that rated R movies should not be showed to children without parental consent.

I'm stunned. :eek:

I am always stunned to find more people who have not heard of this.

You should spread the word.

The teacher closed the door and told the kids not to tell anyone about what they were about to see, sweeeeeeet.

I saw that movie, and it was pathetic. Those cowhands couldn't even do their job well either, I seem to recall. Those were the sorriest farm help I ever saw in a movie.

I try not only to boycott it, but anything produced by its producer, Focus Features. I have yet to even see a movie worth watching, produced by that sodomite-promoting company.

At least I didn't promote it by buying it. Somebody lent me a bootleg copy. (Sure I will watch it, so I can better comment on it, if I can watch for free.)

Of course, it didn't help that I am no fan of pre-modern-times movies, nor of Westerns.

If I was some gay-basher, that sorry movie would make me feel all the more, like finding some sorry fag to go beat up or something.

If they are going to show such controversial movies in school, at least they could find some movie more on the correct side of the issue. Whatever happened to those old weird movies/books they make us study in school, like Brave New World or Lord of the Flies? Even they weren't so bad as that sorry movie.

The teacher closed the door and told the kids not to tell anyone about what they were about to see, sweeeeeeet.

I try to respect my parents, like the Bible says to do in the ten commandments, so I would tell my parents, most anything that they would want to hear.

Keep it secret, yeah right.

"Academic freedom" is more a college class concept anyway, not so appropriate for impressionable little children. Yeah, I might consider not repeating what people say in class, for the sake of them opening up and sharing their views in some college philosophy class, but that's more for the students to be able to speak, not for some perverted teacher to push an immoral agenda.

Had it been me, I would tell my parents first thing I got home, and call up my preacher and all that. If they want to be that retarded in the government monopoly schools, why not raise a big stink? It ought to be interesting, to say the least.

Next time send home permission slips, liberal morons. Or better yet, find something more worthy of classroom time.

No wonder home-schooling is such a huge growing movement.

Look on the bright side: "Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys." Given the homophobia running rampant in this country, showing Brokeback Mountain to a bunch of kids might well save us the embarrassing spectacle of a generation's worth of heterosexuals dressing up in cowboy garb because they think it's cool and macho.

I mean, really: what is more "gay" looking than "cowboy duds"? Such attire is generally too queer for the queers.
