I rarely watch TV anymore, because the TV just can not seem to tell the truth. Most everything is or should be “parental guidance” these wicked days. Some people say that a child should not watch TV at all, until age 3. Messes up their eyes. Maybe humans were not really so much designed to look at artificial images screens. Let their brains develop more naturally looking at things that are real. I would probably talk to my children about the sort of stuff that they look at on their phones, and why you don’t give out personal information to strangers on the internet. I once thought to put the family computer in a public area in the home, so as to be able to see what your children are looking at. But now everybody has a phone. Often of an age before they can hardly even read. How are we going to ban the phones? For poor behavior, or because we all want to be Amish? These days, there is a TV in every room, and probably a computer or computer tablet as well.
And some nudity scenes, really are no more “obscene” than the marital unfaithfulness garbage on soap operas, that probably nobody should watch, yet those are not even rated to protect children from their minds getting corrupted? Was swimming in the nude, at the YMCA, only decades ago, “obscene”? Are family-friendly nude beaches, “obscene”? Should women going topless on the beach, be “obscene” in countries where that is more so the norm? Some cultures do not consider that woman’s area to be “obscene”. I would probably allow for my daughters to go topless, if that is the cultural standard for the place, and not some sort of immoral debauchery intention.
Now if we are talking about risque sexual movies, then perhaps not even adults should see those. But the parents are supposed to set the standards for the family. What about all the questionable stuff on TV? We know that a lot of parents do not just watch questionable stuff after the children go to bed. It seems to me, that either those movies should not be played in theaters, or else an under-age “child” is allowed a pass in, if accompanied by a responsible adult. Proving parenthood or legal guardianship, is likely not necessary, unless we are talking about vetting immigrants. And I would not at all give such a child a pass, unless with the express permission of the parents. I have a phone, so why not call them up and make sure that it will be okay? Although I have never yet taken a nephew to the theater.
Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support.
I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized.
he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that.
he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened.
he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence.
i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me
i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction.
after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly.
things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it.
we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe …
our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far?
this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
So typical of the QPG to asks such vague questions. Schindler List was R-rated. Why? Some “raw” brief image of nudity, not for shock value, but for impact and showing of human vulnerability. The movie was about a man named Schindler who took great risks in trying to save Jews from the N a z i e s. Should a child under 17 see such a movie? Sure, if that child can process mature subjects without crying too much or being traumatized. Not all children need to read little kiddie books. Some are smart and can read newspapers, complicated science, the Holy Bible. Why do we dumb down our students/children, and let smart Asians pass us up?
To sum up, I largely defer to the parents, as they know their children best, and probably, hopefully, love them and want to protect them.
Most everything on TV is fake, even the fake-news is fake.
