Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

Of how having such a station shows just how 'racist' the movies selected are against whites.

Again, not my claim or even my perspective. BUT it is a claim made by those that are against focusing on the lives of blacks through either entertainment or 'National Black History Month' movies.

Doesn't matter who started the channel, whether it was 'whites or blacks'...The simple thing is there are those offended by the very thought of a 'seperatist type' of black anything.

Also, although some of the programming leaves a bit to be desired, there's also good programs as well...Especially their action movie programming that is presented....It's not all about gangbanging, rapping, 'living in the hood' type of programming.

In fact, a great deal of the movies we watch on BET aren't specifically 'Black' movies...Their some of the greatest movies that have some of the greatest black actors/actresses in them, so are put on BET for ALL viewers to enjoy.



ROTFLMAOL! You need to read better FX...I said 'I'm sure there's a board or blog somewhere'...In otherwords, there's hundreds of millions of boards and blogs about every subject for/against imaginable. I personally have no intrest in it myself, because although I'm not a martial arts movie fan myself, it's not enough of a big deal to me to invest time into dissing it for those that do enjoy watching them. But there's those that feel they need to vent on-line about it I'm sure...Not to mention those that are anti-Asian straight out so look for any excuse to diss Asians or shows that focus on Asians...

There's boards out there that hate just about every type of sport orientated genre or group of peoples...So your 'oh, it couldn't exsist' is kind of ignorant of you darling. If anyone is 'typing out of their 'a$$', then that dear would be YOU.



So? That still doesn't distract that there's people opposed to other channels, for similar reasons as to those that don't like LMN either. Irregardless of what channel one chooses to watch, there are people who find the 'entertainment' on said station distasteful/inappropriate for any reason their minds create...

Heck, even the Disney Channel gets it's fair share of haters all over the internet.

But just because someone may not like this/that program on a given channel, of what they say about said programming being 'hateful, wrong, inappropriate', doesn't mean that another viewer sees it the same way. It also doesn't take into count, that the claims made about said station being all about 'this/that' is true...Especially when the programming on said station is as diverse in it's content as the opinions of the viewers who do watch one or two shows on said channel...

There's positive movies as well as non-positive movies on every given channel...No matter if that channel is BET, LMN, TrueTV, Disney, or whatever...And the viewer has to determine for themselves, what programs they like or dislike and move on when it's not their cup of tea.



EXACTLY what I've been saying...It's about the perception of the viewer only...And just because YOU think it's a man-hater channel or that others agree with your perception it is...Doesn't make it fact.

You can pull out as many blogs or personal discussion sites you wish, agreeing with your perspective, but that DOESN'T mean it's an accurate perception at all.

Unlike you (or your wife), it just seems that some of us manage to find the programming on certain stations that just don't fit into ya'lls 'mold' of what it's supposed to be like?

In otherwords, we just don't throw a station on and settle for what's on it...We actually look through the listings to find those movies and programs that fit our genre on a particular station..And it's actually there, for those that perfer 'informed' entertainment rather then just settling for whatever is on the station.

Just like I proved to you that there's plenty of 'loving men' programming on LMN, that you want to say isn't there or is minimal...ROTFLMAOL!

Why don't you go post on PW!? You might get "borked" over there.
Since I have gotten home I have watched, The Universe, 2 South Parks and a Firefly rerun. My tastes run the gamut.

I only cruise PW at my dialysis clinic when I'm REALLLY bored and feel like checking out the latest epic by my good buddy Foundit.

I actually kinda miss the BORK BORK BORK.

Well, you can always tell the administrator there you would like to have that feature turned when you go "borking" over there.

The board that said the Lifetime channel was a man-hating channel was just a baby discussion forum. So that doesn't apply.

But average plain ol people see that the lifetime channel is just a man hating channel. No agenda required.

That's not what you said though.
All I did was find a forum of plain old people that were discussing the man-hating aspect of Lifetime. Easy to do. I challenge you to "use my method" and find a bunch of plain old white people that feel the same about BET. Good luck with that.

Yeah, and not all of South Park's episodes are as disgusting as the Eek Penis one. But still... No need to tell me about what's on BET, I got cable.

Of in other words you are saying you yourself don't believe the BS about BET. While I DO and many others feel that Lifetime has a perception of being a man-hating channel.
Like this, this, or even this good one from Epinions...which has numerous mentions of the man-hating slant as well.

But the sites I mention aren't out to diss anyone. They just notice that Lifetime is a man-hating channel. Seems you are a bit slow on the uptake. Not the first ime I've noticed this though. It's okay.

Haven't listed a single "we hate Lifetime" site yet. Just plain old people pointing out the obvious.

Distasteful and "man-hating" are two different issues. And we aren't talking about "those" mystery channels and those that hate them, we are talking about the Lifetime Channel having programming that is man-hating. It seems the perception is pretty widespread.

Quote:

No one is hating. Just making an observation.

You seem to be ringing on hollow ears there. Many people find Lifetime a man-hating channel. Sorry. Claims that they aren't are only as valid until the next "made for Lifetime" man-hating movie.

And it seems a broad swath of people find Lifetime programming cheesy. Especially the stuff that was "made for them" and not a rerun.

That's exactly what I've been saying too. It's not just my perception. It's been validated by a huge cross-section of people. Just "you" can't convince me otherwise. I don't know why you are still typing "your" words as if they are gonna outweigh my own.

Quote:

And you can pull out nothing and that does about the same for your perspective. But at least I have more than one voice agreeing with me. Your turn.

Yeah, somebody watches the C-Span too.

Nor do I. I have a Dishnetwok HD PVR with 2 receivers which automatically records all new episodes of all my favorite shows. It can record 2 shows while I watch another. You have no idea about my TV watching habits.

You didn't prove to me anything. You just said they did. If you consider that "proof", I've proved like crazy that the general consensus of people is that Lifetime hates men. Why is your "proof" so much better than mine? Bullshit.

Oh why don't you just shut up!!!! With your cool little award doohickey and all. You suck.
This is my thread and I can hijack it all I want.

Here's the latest. It seems some in the media are going out of their way to find something negative on these people...
The Associated Press: Texas officials looking at possible abuse among FLDS boys
which leads to..
Fractures in Children, a medical textbook, cites data that suggest 42% of boys and 27% of girls suffer at least one fracture before age 16.

Which puts them below average. This news is just as specious as the 16 year old girl in the first place.

Hey pal, 18,000 points and counting - eat your heart out!!

BTW if Ali was right about her assessment of Lifetime then why don't more men watch it?

You can always tell whose watching by the kind of ads they run.

Lifetime is non-stop diet products, groceries and tampons. You won't see any of that on ESPN.

I agree with you on this one, Gary. I came across the original thread a few minutes ago and still can't figure out how it morphed from polygamy and the FLDS raid to cable TV programming!
