Was watching Friends. In it Chandler meets a woman in a chat room and starts to get romantically attached. Eventually he learns she's married but when they meet face to face he learns it's Ross' ex who he really liked and dashed in and kisses her. Next episode we learn she plans to divorce her cheating husband and they have in the mean time hooked up. Everyone's ok with it (except Joey who hates her)but it's never pointed out that he's dating and implied sleeping with A MARRIED WOMAN! Just shows how the media gradually softens our resistance to certain things by gradual infiltration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows how the media gradually softens our resistance to certain things by gradual infiltration This was a tactic perpetuated by media in all formats to get the attitude of America re-arranged toward accepting homosexuality as normal. There's a book that was published in the 90's. It is considered the handbook for activists in the homosexual front in that regard.

There's an openly gay character in it. He's also very promiscuous. Nobody bats an eye to this and he's given the most graphic makeout scenes. The message I guess is we should all ok wirh that lifestyle cause our heroes are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message I guess is we should all ok wirh that lifestyle cause our heroes are. Normalizing what is morally reprehensible. Even in nomenclature this happens. Remember when you were a kid? "Dope" was illegal and bad for you? Then about ten years or so ago this new slang came out wherein "dope" was jargon for "cool", "awesome", "great". Now there's transvestites on TV in competition with one another as to who makes the better "woman". Ru Paul hosts. Every morning show, celebrity news show, has a token homosexual host in order to play to the homosexual demographic . Or entice their viewership due to that homosexual personality to whom they can relate. Eventually an openly transsexual will host. Orange is the new black, is a show on Netflix I believe? Homosexual women in prison! And it at one time was top rated. And a transfemale was one of the stars. His name? Laverne Cox. Get it? Seriously, that's the name of the actor himself not his characters name. And he's obviously male. And pre-operation in the nether regions. Which is typically the case because they're not going to surrender that ecstasy in order to have what is done to make their bodies transferred to a female appearance. And of course there's the Olympic shame that is Bruce Jenner. Who actually did have full top to bottom surgery. That corners the market on athletes being marketed to. Then there's Cher's only daughter Chastity. Who is now transformed into the identity her mental illness tells her is deep inside and hidden under her God given female. When she first made news she claimed she was a lesbian. Then she went into homosexual rights activism. After awhile of being quiet in the press she appeared again. Now she's a man trapped in her female body. And she denied she was ever a homosexual activist. Tragic what the mental illness does to people. There's a disorder that people suffer who won't be called trans phobic if they are diagnosed. And it is still "legal" to publish it in the DMS, the mental health journal, so as to describe the affliction. "Body Integrity Identity Disorder" Transsexuals at one time were described in the DSM as having Gender Identity Disorder. But after a number of death threats from the tolerance demanding gay activist front, all that changed in the future editions of the psychiatric fields DSM publications. Starting with edition V. Truth has become intolerable. Isn't that amazing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message I guess is we should all ok wirh that lifestyle cause our heroes are Just curious, how can you (or any believer) stomach as much as you saw, without blasting away the TV? I cut it off when they even just talk funny, or hear their accent. Like a reminder, we're in hot water. The boiling frog is a parable describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to or be aware of threats that arise gradually. God is light, not darkness.........Truth, not lies............Life, not death............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message I guess is we should all ok wirh that lifestyle cause our heroes are. We should just all vote with our remote; I wouldn't watch a show with gay make out scenes. I've seen the Friends episode but, truthfully if one has the proper foundation in place, these shows will not change your standards. Just watching things on t.v. will not change a strong believer's way of thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Corps when this episode aired and I can tell you that sleeping with a married person was not some shocking new thing that people did not approve of. We had such "rules" as "after 50 miles nobody is married" and "what happens on deployment, stays on deployment". The media was not softening the resistance, they were mirroring the times.
