    How rotten our society has become?

    I got news for you, we've always had advertisements for medicines during our televised events, none of that is a new development. That's because unlike other countries, our medicines are produced by the private sector instead of the state.. and guess what? our medicines are actually some of the safest and most effective medicines in the world, if running your adds is the tradeoff we have to deal with, that's not too bad of a trade off.

    The Pfizer add during the Grammy's wasn't even offensive. I'll tell you what was offensive, those damn Viagra adds that they kept constantly running during the MLB playoffs all those year ago. It's like.. we get it, you have an old man penis... quit making your problem our problem by constantly making sit through your old man penis adds every commercial break, and twice during the seventh inning stretch (pun intended).

    Had this been a performance portraying God and something Christian, I can only imagine the uproar from the left.

    He's a TV announcer. A different sort, yes, but in the end his material must be approved by Fox HQ. That's why I don't understand why you take moral leadership from him. Fox is like Joe Biden--they've never met a war they didn't like.

    I've not seen catheters for sale, but they do routinely push the Two for Towers or whatever it is, which essentially reinforces the official narrative regarding 911 which was proved false 20 years ago. Tucker fell for the Balloon Incident last week, but last night it appeared he attempted to walk it back to some degree. Stay tuned.

    Yes, I absolutely am comparing this to what a couple of kids do for Halloween, and quite frankly I think it's hilarious that there are still people out there who still believe this means the fall of society. These people have been getting hysterical over musical performances since the introduction of jazz. They were a joke then and they are a joke now.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All the Satan Worship stuff and regalia disgusts me, though I do give artistic license when Katy Perry ran a video some years back suggesting Satanic themes. That ugly dude in the Grammy scene did nothing for me.

    Pfizer itself has been operating a continuing criminal enterprise since 2004 at least, so I'm not sure of your point regarding corruption. I do agree with your point about the Viagra ads. :angel:

    Oh please. You realize the Grammy awards have Christian music awards, right? The Christian music group Maverick City Music tied Beyonce for most Grammys won this year.

    Tell me, do you all ever tire of making yourselves the constant victims?

    It is a joke, that's the problem. The dems love it and soak it up, cheering them on.

    What time did that come on television?

    Pointing out the ridiculousness of something does not mean one is claiming to be a victim. Study your talking points better.

    Does it matter what time they aired them winning? Does it strip their 4 Grammys because poor victim reds weren't watching?

    Did you watch the grammys? Or is your self victimization making you feel Christian music really didn't win 4 grammys?

    Yes and I saw no performances portraying god or Jesus, so calm down, nothing for you to get upset about.

    Ever heard of a little band called Mumford and Sons? They performed their song "I Will Wait" at the Grammy's before, which is literally about repenting from sin, and forgiveness from Jesus.. Heck, not only did they perform their song at the Grammy's, but their album "Babel" (which is full of biblical references) even won album of the year at that same award show... and there was no uproar about it. You're clearly wrong here.. deal with it





    Song lyrics:

    So break my step, and relent
    Well you forgave, and I won't forget
    Know what we've seen and him with less
    Now in some way shake the excess

    But I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you

    Now I'll be bold as well as strong
    And use my head alongside my heart
    So tame my flesh and fix my eyes
    A tethered mind freed from the lies

    But I'll kneel down; wait for now
    I'll kneel down; know my ground

    Raise my hands; paint my spirit gold
    Bow my head; keep my heart slow

    'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you

    No one is claiming to be a victim, it's a discussion which is literally what this forum is for.

    Not understanding your point, is he acting like he is God?

    The 'fall of society' can be judged or defined in many ways, not just what garbage is televised.

    To me a 'society' with a government that demands citizens take toxic experimental drugs into their bodies has already collapsed. A 'society' with a government that has been known to be the largest purveyor of violence in the world, to borrow from MLK, has already collapsed.

    That at the Grammy's was pornographic IMO. Yes, beauty and pornography are in the eye of the beholder.

    A discussion about your poor self victimization against Christianity. Tell me, did you feel the folks who won grammys were persecuted when they thanked God after winning their award?

    If you can't handle discussions against people with differing opinions, then maybe this forum isn't for you. Claiming anyone with an opposing opinion is claiming to be a victim shows your weakness in the ability to reply with something of substance.

    It is YOU who said the left would be up in arms about anything Christian related. I along with another poster completely destroyed your post and you want to twist it into something as harmless as a simple discussion. LOL

    Just admit it, you got owned and called out for being wrong.

    When did anyone "destroy" my post?

    The replies to this regarding Christian awards that no one actually sees are invalid to this discussion. A post of a video for a faith based song is just as invalid. So where exactly did you offer anything that "destroyed" my post?

    You have a problem with anyone with opposing views, but that's what this forum is based on. Everyone else is not claiming to be a victim.

    You want to know something funny? I've heard many people make that claim that the government demanded that they take one of a variety of different medicines, and the vast majority of those people who I have heard make this claim didn't take any of them. It's all just more of the same imaginative self proclaimed victimhood.
