Like they somehow LOSE if there's no "relationship" there. It sets women up to believe that any man is a prize, and they should do anything to win his favor. "he only beats me when I [insert random, trivial behavior]" <br /><br />And they say the Tebow ads promote violence against women?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535912314165290428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-11083593176180073002010-02-17T20:15:48.571-06:002010-02-17T20:15:48.571-06:00I agree.

Even if we were just watching it to make fun of it or for the "rubber necking" at these people... some of the low self esteem of these beautiful but lost and often broken women might dig in or worse yet, they may start to believe they need to "compete" to earn love... I would hate for our daughters to start comparing themselves to them or worse... mimicing them...Rebecca Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978830721619311449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-31150502150226409122010-02-16T13:40:24.852-06:002010-02-16T13:40:24.852-06:00I haven't kept up with it, thank goodness.

I can't imagine watching that train wreck.<br /><br />How about that show "Temptation Island"? Anyone remember that? I never watched that one either <i>(but then again, I'm the lone holdout in America who has not watched "Idol" -ever )</i> but I do remember seeing promos of it and I couldn't believe that people would set themselves and their marriages up like that just for a shot at being on television.becomewhatyouarehttp://becomewhatyouare.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-42105290673013726272010-02-16T07:09:30.852-06:002010-02-16T07:09:30.852-06:00I watch it out of pure amusement.

I watch it with disbelief over the same issues you have. I know that the ONLY reason he still has Vienna is because of the publicity. The girls display themselves as a piece of meat. It does totally disgust me the way that love is portrayed. I get so mad at mysel for being sucked into the show because I know it's all a publicity stunt on the shows part. They do such a good job that I can't stop watching though! ugh!Mandy T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17355626865911465157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-23976776256239736352010-02-16T00:11:59.801-06:002010-02-16T00:11:59.801-06:00Where did all the funny shows like Mad About You ...Where did all the funny shows like Mad About You and Fraiser go anyway!!?? ;)Just Jennhttp://www.seizingmyday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-72225614464654990662010-02-15T23:40:26.208-06:002010-02-15T23:40:26.208-06:00Thank you!
