So glad the Devils are going to make the playoffs this year (pending them not losing the last 5 games). Just need to win one and the Caps lose one OR win two and we're in. Playoff hockey is one of my favorite time of the year.
I'm a Bruins fan, hoping they seal the deal again this year.
And high fives to all for 10K. I think I can now claim that I have been here for more than half the threads life (in posts anyway).
Fox is a hive of bumbling morons. They put their best show, Fringe, on Fridays to die a slow death, and now it will be a miracle if it comes back for even a shortened final season.
Terra Nova was expensive to make, yes, but they did make money off of it. Now Netflix might take it on at a reduced licensing fee, but it'd doubtful.
They don't support their best shows but push their crappy ones (Raising Hope, when-will-it-finally-die Simpsons, and Glee).

They're almost, almost, as dumb as NBC.
I have no idea how Raising Hope stays on the air. Horrible show. Never seen a single episode of the Simpsons and I don't feel like I've missed anything either. Glee...well, I stopped watching it after they started pushing their homosexuality agenda. If that's the path you take in life, that's fine (well, not really but it isn't my place to judge) and I won't think less of you at all. I have good friends that are homosexual. However, don't push it on a show that a lot of kids watch to make it look cool. Same with Pretty Little Liars on ABC "Family".
/Rant
Speaking of NBC and canceling shows that they shouldn't....whatever happened to Outsourced and why isn't the Playboy Club still on air. Actually enjoyed both of those.

Man, I cannot agree more. I can't stand Glee. As far as the homosexuality thing goes, I refuse to judge anyone for their paths in life; I'm not the one who sets any standards for human behavior. But I don't like how people who express views against homosexuality are termed as "haters" or on the same level as a racist or something. If you want one group of people to have free expression, why can't another? Sheesh.
Outsourced was pretty good. I think they were stupid to put Community, one of their best shows, on hiatus for 30 Rock, a show that once was funny but is now stupid.
You're not missing anything with the Simpsons. It was funny for about 10 years. Now it's just tired and boring.

Well on that note, can anyone tell me how to get this thread to stop showing up in tapatalk under participated? Can I block it or delete it somehow? I'd hate to push my homosexual agenda here where there might be kids (nevermind that if those kids are gay, they're already gay, and a show like Glee or a few positive role models might save their lives).

If you no longer want to be subscribed you can long press on the thread from the list and a menu will pop up with an option to unsubscribe.
I do hope you stay though as the points above are just expressing opinions and are not attacks or put downs.

I don't want to derail this thread into an argument about homosexuality, religion, nature vs nurture, etc, and the only way I know to avoid doing that is to leave. It's opinion to them, but it's survival to me. People who don't believe homophobia is as bad as racism, people who think that it's a choice, that there is a "homosexual agenda" or that it's even possible to change someone (in either direction) are the reason that kids are dying. They're the reason I almost didn't survive high school - and I don't mean by my own hand. They're the reason I still carry scars 15 years later, and I'm talking about the physical scars.
So it's really just best if I go. And try not to participate in other threads with the people who exprss these opinions. It's sad, really, as I have really been enjoying these forums, and I suspect I will enjoy them less now.

Would hate to see you leave us. I've enjoyed your presence both here and in the r00t section.
We all have choices and we make them as we see fit. What others do or say is up to them, uncontrollable, and will always have consequences. However, your reaction to it IS controllable. That is where you can shine I'd like you to stick around if it matters.

Sorry I offended you. I have nothing against that community, it's a personal conviction based on Biblical principles that it is wrong. However, no more wrong than lying, stealing, cursing, watching pornography, etc. I just get tired of seeing agendas promoted on mass TV period. It's a TV show made for entertainment, not to push a political agenda. I feel it's inappropriate for children to watch something that is designed by adults to make certain choices OK or seem cool. I also have a problem with TV shows promoting pre-marital sex and drug/alcohol use, especially the ones that involve teens. If it's adults, it's a different story, but teens are very much influenced by what they see on TV, especially if it's other teens doing the influencing.
That being said, I really would hate to see you go. Definitely didn't mean to say anything to run anyone off.

OK, this is exactly my point. Your Biblical principles don't get to define how anyone else lives. Being gay is not a choice or a behavior, and certainly cannot be equated with drinking, smoking, lying, cheating and so on, and the fact that you can't see that makes me doubt what little faith in humanity I actually have. And then to turn around and tell me that you consider me to be equivalent to someone who lies cheats steals uses drugs and tries to promote those things to children while also saying you didn't t mean to offend me and don't want me to go makes you the worst kind of hypocrite.
Now does everyone see why it's best if I just go? I shouldn't have even commented, i was just trying to figure out how to get the thread out of my participated tab.

I agree completely. My points of view are also based on Biblical principles (I was never a religious person, but I have recently begun delving a bit deeper as my wife is studying the Bible, and I like what I am learning.) I also don't like shows that glorify adultery or teen sex. I think it's okay to not approve of certain lifestyles and still not hate the person.

If I can't load OSX on my Netbook (or the 1024x600 resolution annoys me) trying to decide between an old Mac Mini or an older Macbook to do iOS development on.

Simmer down. You are not, believe it or not, the only one who has to deal with persecution because of their lifestyle/beliefs, that is no reason to retaliate personally (which you did with this post) when he never did. You are right about one thing, this is not the time or place for this debate, if we thought the gun topics had a chance to get heated, this is a whole different animal.

In my opinion a lot of shows on TV are repeating concepts. But like 24, this is something a bit newer than the other things out there.
24 is one of the most original concepts ever - a TV show in real time and a full season was 24 hours (1 full day in real time). Loved every minute of it.

I never watched 24. Didn't really appeal to me at the time. But I sent myself a note to try to find the episode(s) I've missed of Touch.
Definitely should be mine, lol Heck, if I posted how I believed about a lot of subjects, I would run a lot of people off, and probably myself included :P Hey, the Bible hurts and pierces pretty deep sometimes, even to those who know it front to back, doesn't mean you don't find areas that you aren't living correctly. It can be a very offensive book if you are convinced that your way is the right way.

I definitely think homosexuality, like guns, should be off limits in here. It's not worth the costs to discuss it. (People who otherwise have a great bond in their love for GNex and Android, having a falling out is too high a cost.) It's a division too deep for we lowly Nexians to bridge at this time, I'm afraid.

Agreed. I hate that I even brought it up. Was definitely unintentional.

Touch is good, but I've only seen the first one. The rest are still waiting on TiVo. Has anyone watched Awake? I thought it had a cool premise, but still Tivo'd as well.

Geez, I just got caught up on the JetBlue captain story, he was from a suburb of Savannah!
Poor guy may have had an undiagnosed seizure disorder or even a tumor. My heart goes out to him, but it could have really been a disaster if he would have remained in the cabin at the helm.
OK - so here's the thing: no one comes to get their feelings hurt and I don't think that anyone tried to hurt anyone's feelings on purpose - but that is what has happened.
I'm not going to get into majorities or religions or biology or anything else.
I'm just going to give a nudge about the rules.
They amount to this - please be polite.
If anyone wants to judge anyone - fine. Take that to the Politics section as suggested earlier by Frisco.
If anyone wants to explain their position further - please reconsider and maybe don't do that. A polite explanation from one person can really be heard honestly as a hateful reminder of a bigger issue in life.
This is a good place for us to all escape - in fact, I took a picture of it a while back:
Nobody was eating anyone or pushing their idea of the watering hole.
Please do that as best you all can, I think it's the polite way to hang together.
Cheers, many thanks - and sorry to shout, but this is kinda important, ok?
