While I never watched the Duggar show, this whole debacle has sparked many a conversation about dealing with abuse which I appreciate. When lessons can be taught and learned at the expense of others, why not? But you ask a good question, why is this crap so entertaining for so many?

It's unfortunate all around for certain perhaps the big picture is shedding light on matters some want to sweep under the rug that damage families as a whole but true that is for them to figure out.

What that young man did was not excusable but it also wasn't public information and it isn't a factor to judge the entire family based on something one member of the family did as a young teenager. I can't understand for the life of me why folks are not concerned about the motives of the person who broke the law to reveal a police record of a minor child.

Now lets turn that rant into a great conversation with our kids lol. I believe that as parents we need to talk with our kids in a language they can understand about what reality tv really means and give examples. I feel once we do that the glamour will wear off.

Same for the Duggars. Who tries to handle a child that touches another child within the family. Wacky! They need therapy people! Ok I'm done ranting! The thing about reality tv is most of it is staged. It isn't reality. So I 'm with you, why are we glued to it. Thank you so much for linking up to Merry Monday this week! I am sharing your post today on my FB page. We hope to see you next week for another great party!

Th...I don't even know where to start with this! The whole situation is so very sad on so many levels. As far as reality TV in and of itself goes, I feel that it really serves only to dumb down our nation. We focus so much on all the drama that important news stories--including amazing scientific discoveries--get overshadowed...not to mention the negative examples of human behavior being shown as the "norm" or something to be aspired to. I could probably write a book on how I feel about this!<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing with us at #MommyMeetupMondays!Brandyn Blazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364919826813976813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298420976025938487.post-69471344251915278542015-06-15T21:23:54.580-04:002015-06-15T21:23:54.580-04:00I don't watch a lot reality TV.

I feel that go for the lowest common denominator in our society, It is almost like the Jerry Springer crowd has taken over. I watch a lot PBS-lol. It is funny, because I went to a forum with Peter Coyote was speaking at and he has been asked to narrate a reality show or two and will not do it. csuhpat1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12324673812333885120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298420976025938487.post-61576144157952118792015-06-15T20:25:22.231-04:002015-06-15T20:25:22.231-04:00Cassie welcome and thanks for stopping by.

Many people use that as a coverup for their own selfish gain and they are perfect example. You can't preach to the masses if you are stained but you will surely get a few. They were concerned about financial and media gain not about right and wrong.

I think the BIG shock was that they paraded their religion and family values around. They would not allow homosexual couples to post pics on their blog...which is their choice. But then to turn around and hide the fact that their son molested and violated their daughters. How is that okay and not two consenting adults who love each other. They have been proven to be just as twisted as everyone else, even worse because they hid it and kept acting as they always do. karenhttp://dinoheromommy.com/noreply@blogger.com
