My wife's words: "WTF IS IT WITH THIS FUNDIE FAMILY!?!?" also why dresses?
My wife cannot believe TLC is having another Duggar season again. She has been so disappointed with TLC for a good 15 years but it is to the point where she is just about to give up on the channel all together.

She remembers when the channel "actual" educational stuff. Like Documentaries about how the bible was developed through out the centuries. She said it actually talked about how things where taken out or interpret a certain way.

She remembers when they has a series on the rise and falls of the Celts and wish it would go that way just a little. One or 2 nights out of 7 isn't that bad but to put the Duggars on is just fluff.

And as she went on with her rant she said something that really threw me. WTF is it with Fundie's and clothing girls and women in dresses no matter what is happening. Taking the kids on a nature walk Boys have heavy shoes and pants on. Girls are in dresses.

Well now, I don't understand this.

Maybe I'm dense.

Where's the much-heralded primitive respect for diversity?

Sure they would be happy with the muslims, their dress, and their oppresion of women and fags. Where extreme christian groups merely ostracize the muzzies stone you, hang you, or behead you.

More proof that liberals are more than the average full of hate. Now they can't hate the truly loathsome parts of civilization because of PC so it all comes out on Christians.

It's no biggie, everybody does it at one time or another.

The reason the screen-name of the primitive should be included--at least, minimally, the name of the originally-posting primitive--is that the primitives are such narcissists they don't pay any attention to anybody but themselves, and so when they lurk over here, they "search" for their own names, instead of looking at the broad array of illumination and enlightenment offered here.

If I had my druthers, which I can't, the "search" function here would be available only to registered members--after all, my fellow alum Skins actually charges for it, on Skins's island--so that lurking primitives would have to look at everything while trying to track down themselves.

And by chance or accident they might randomly find something that changes their lives.

But that's just me.

I guess tuning in the Military Channel is out of the question....

I LOVE the shows they do on WWII aircraft....

I haven't watched TLC in a long time because it became all that reality stuff. I think they used to have Connections 2 which was a great show and one time they had this great show on famous books and their authors.

Ice Road Fishing and those kinds of shows just don't appeal to me that much, the only intervention show I like is Dog Whisperer and I don't even watch that. So what are they doing on TLC these days that has the DUmmies so upset and why not just watch History or Science or some other channels that still has some good stuff from time to time?

The history channel is nothing but leftist propaganda. It is the NYT/History channel and is full of aliens amongs us and if only stalin had beat the allies crap.

They only respect diversity that is in line with their narrow world view.

Somehow I missed that one on Stalin though I did see one on how he bankrupted Russia with his building projects and how he had these apartments built for party members and would send his goons in and kidnap them at random to keep them full of fear.

There is too much UFO stuff and Monster stuff and Nostradamus stuff but Engineering an Empire is pretty good and they had this great series on Rome and they had a great thing on the 300, granted it was a movie tie-in but it was much better than the movie, not that the movie was bad but it was basically based on a comic book. I like The Naked Archeologist too.

If UFO's and Nostradamus pay the bills who am I to complain? That's more than liberals do.

It's always been interesting to me when people continue to watch or listen to something that infuriates them so! Almost like they get off on being constantly pissed off!

Would that be why they're always complaining about Rush?

Anti-semitic as well I would argue.

Nevermind the fact that they play every documentary with some half-assed theory about why the Bible can't possibly be what conventional wisdom says it is even if those theories contradict each other but you never see is the same treatment given to the texts of the the other religions of the world. I dare their brave, bold producers to try that crap with the Koran.

The breaking point to me was when I was watching a show on the conquest of Canaan. The narrator points out how brutal ancient warfare was because it required hacking each other to bloody bits at close quarters and because of the psychological stresses the entirety of the Hebrew male nation must have been psychotic basketcases; at which point the image on the screen is of filthy, bedraggled wild-eyed men whose features are deepened by the orange glow of a raoring fire.

Has any other ancient society ever been so painted? The Romans? The Macedonians? Anyone? Even the Moloch worshippers of Carthage are treated with admiration.

I guess only jews are the psychopathic killers with their bogus religious texts.

Judging by the OP's literacy in writing, I can see TLC has been a great help.

DumbAss Tanker · « **Reply #16 on:** February 12, 2009, 09:07:38 AM »

I do have to agree with the moonbat woman that TLC is pretty much all fluff (pseudo-dramatic reality sub-type, mostly) and rarely if ever has anything worth watching anymore, fortunately my remote still works.

Well the complainer's head would explode around where I live. We have a large contingent of Amish and Mennonites. All dresses all the time. Who cares? It's their CHOICE.

But they're "fundies," so obviously it's a wrong choice and must be taunted and ridiculed often.

I guess the DUmmies would be a lot happier of the girls dressed like sluts and the boys like ghetto thugs.

I wonder if his wife would consider it interesting if the Duggar parents were two lesbians or a transgendered couple who birthed their own children before the big gender change...of course then we'd probably have to change their name to Digger.

That's what I was thinking. I couldn't care less about the Duggars or that Jon & Kate + 8 or whatever. I just don't watch them. Not that hard. Obviously, enough people are watching that it's profitable for TLC and whomever else to keep showing them.

Well, ya got the Duggars themselves, that's a bigger audience than MSNBC has right there...

My wife watches Jon & Kate + 8 with zeal that borders on the religious. She's got their book, too.
