TV shows link to teen pregnancies
Watching sexually charged TV shows connected with teenage pregnancy. Surely not? But that is not the cause, merely a connected symptom. It is likely that the need to watch that type of show is greater in children where there is no love at home. The opportunity to watch that type of show is greater in households where the parents do not care about the children and allow them a TV in the bedroom and to allow them to watch whatever they like.
Thus again it is more likely connected with households where there is no father present and the single mother is lacking in capacity as a parent. Improve the quality of parenting, improve the quality and amount of interaction between the parents and children and they will watch these programmes less and be affected less by them. It still comes down to the fact that children who get appropriate love and affection from their parents are less likely to go looking for this outside the family and less likely to believe that they need a baby in order to find someone that loves them unconditionally.
It does however show that television has a disproportionate impact on the people who watch it. It is not before time that the impact of too much television and inappropriate television out of context is studied. I am of the opinion that when people turn on the television they turn off their brains. The television washes over them and they are subconsciously brainwashed by what they see. The programme makers have tremendous power and are not normally using this power constructively or wisely.
I believe that people should strictly limit the television and only watch programmes that make you think. Otherwise it is like a drug – takes away the pain of your daily grind for the time you watch it. When you switch off you are less able to think for yourself.
People should be encouraged to replace television use with Internet use as the Internet is largely interactive and you can watch and read what you want to read without being dictated to by the prejudices and whims of the broadcasters. There are strong signs that particularly younger people are doing exactly this.
Switch off the TV and set yourself free!

La plus ca change, la plus c’est le meme-chose… (The more things change, the more they stay the same) CSA mark 3 starts November 1st. People are going to be encouraged to make their own voluntary arrangements. Yeah right. Income support applicants will not automatically trigger a CSA assessment, yeah right.

What planet do they think they are on? If a single mother thinks she is going to get more money from the CSA than from her ex through a voluntary agreement which way is she going to go? If they REALLY wanted to reduce their workload (other than shutting up shop and saving the country £240m per year and helping families stay together and reducing the numbers of fathers committing suicide and helping children stay in touch with their fathers…etc), they should only target the people they were set up to target in the first place – fathers who are truly absent. If a father on separation is having contact with his children then he is spending money on his children when they are with him. He should NOT pay anything to his ex. Why should he pay twice? If however he knowingly and wilfully runs out on his responsibilities- to his children – that is emotional not financial – and many mothers do not tell the father that he is the father and many do not allow him to have contact – but the few who choose to run away are the only genuinely absent parents and them and only them should be pursued by the CSA.

Sorry that is far too logical and pro–father The CSA was set up to persecute fathers and to drive them from their children and to support the notion that mother has complete control over the children and the father is only there for his financial input. It has failed largely due to the battle put up by fathers wanting to see their children and to spend money on their children not on their ex. We shall never know how many simply gave up work as a result – maybe the feminists behind the CSA were happy with that result as well in creating more jobs for the girls. The assessments were hypothetical; the amounts touted were wishful thinking. In my case for example, they added up my three consecutive previous jobs and assessed me on the total of my last three years income as if it was in one year! No wonder the figures they talk about unpaid maintenance are pie in the sky. The reality on the ground is that they have far too much power in attachment of earnings, removal of driving licences and other means to persecute fathers for what is effectively an arbitrary top up on the huge amounts paid to single mothers by this government. It is a tax on fathers not related to the needs of the child. I hope CSA mark 3 fails like the other two. I hope they sink down the plug-hole of history buried under the weight of their absurd mis-calculations, with the blood of hundreds of fathers who have been driven to suicide on their hands. I hope they can sleep at night, because as a result of their driving the fathers away from the children, the very people they were set up to help are the ones who have suffered the most – the children brought up without a father who are extremely likely now to end up in crime, drugs, alcohol abuse and all the other negatives in society. In the middle of a financial meltdown is clearly a good time to bury bad news. Chalk up another disaster to the government.
