<p>This is the same insipid mentality that led to people actually protesting things like <em>Schindler's List</em> and <em>Saving Private Ryan</em> being shown on network TV unedited.</p><p>Do these people think we live in some kind of cartoon world?&nbsp; Pathetic.</p>

The AFA are the same idiots that wanted NASCAR removed from television for allowing shit to slip by the censor during a live broadcast of in car radio.&nbsp; NASCAR has to be one of the most religious and moral and patriotic &quot;sports&quot;, airing prayers and the national anthem (I know the NHL and a few other sports have started cutting out the anthem in favor of commercials) before each race.&nbsp; They also have a &quot;boycott&quot; on Ford for donating to organizations that support gay marriage.. yet Mercury and Lincoln (owned by Ford) they have no problems with.&nbsp; Unreal.&nbsp; These &quot;Christians&quot; are the ones that give all other Christians a bad name.&nbsp; What ever happened to live and let live?&nbsp; I say we write <a href="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/replytotopic.cfm/Forum/87/Topic/52140/currentpage/www.afa.net" target="_self">these idiots</a> instead of CBS... <br />

<p>&quot;This isn't an issue of censorship. It's an issue of responsibility to the public,&quot; said Randy Sharp, director of special projects for the group, which describes itself as a 29-year-old organization that promotes the <u>biblical</u> ethic of decency.<br /></p><p>Ironic considering that the guys who attacked these buildings, that the firefighters tried to save, believe in a <u>Quranic </u>ethic of decency.</p>

[Don Stugots]
