Bugs Bunny didn't wear pants. So.................

As for CBS choosing to not air Bugs Bunny, due to Bugs, not wearing pants, ROFLMAO!

I'm super old-fashioned, so I think the old ways when we were kids and growing up were great, that is aside from certain stuffy networks who worked themselves into a lather over cartoon characters inappropriately dressed or not dressed at all.

Everything is disposable today, and that includes marriages. Get shacked-up, get a divorce, get shacked-up again, get a divorce, like it's a game or something. It's all just a little too much for me to digest. It relays to me that nothing means nothing anymore, hence why I am not big on today's day-and-age.

Touching on marriages and divorces further, the problem with such ways, is it sets-up future generations to believe that getting married and divorced (again and again) is acceptable, like it's the right thing to do, so instead of society strengthening it's strides and moving forward in a positive direction, I see society going backwards. Society and it's ways IMO isn't gaining ground, we're losing it.

As a society and as a whole, there are changes that have taken place where I believe were for the better, but for the most part I see this world having gone too far forward (the polar-opposite) compared to the way the world turned, thirty, forty, or more years ago.

Today the world has become everyone's stage, everyone's front and centre to showcase themselves in true colour. Back in the 60's and 70's when I was growing up, I knew no woman that sported a tattoo, yet today it's no longer good enough anymore for a small little tattoo tucked away in a private place, instead, the more the merrier. I think to myself, for what, and for who. If I were a man I wouldn't dream of involving myself with something that resembled that of the cartoon section of a newspaper.

I see women today with their stretchy pants so far up their you know what's, I think, were did common scruples go. What happened to the days when women carried themselves with dignity and respect.

I visited the bank recently and the teller that served me had more hanging out than she had tucked in. What's that all about? Is today's generation that starving for attention? Or is it simply an indication of the times where people have lost all sense of class?

I have very little respect for society as a whole, and even less respect in relation to the direction society is going.

Sure, quirky ways will always exist, no matter what generation or era, but given the choice to choose between today and yesteryear, I'd gladly take yesteryear in a heartbeat.

Aunt Marg, I agree with you 100%. There are others that feel the same but "political correctness" has made them live in fear & they are afraid to express their opinions on these matters. A woman/girl that sticks her boobs out at me or is covered with tatoos that old time sailors would not carry does nothing for me. She has no class; no dignity & doesn't deserve any respect. As far as Bugs wearing pants, I have to ask how stupid can people get? Apparently, there is no limit on stupid! You might as well worry about whether the Lone Ranger ever washed his mask? Maybe technology is making our society stupider & stupider? Or is it something else? I think we should worry more about Covid-19 and the global warming that will kill millions in the future rather than cartoon character wearing pants or changing the names of hockey teams or toppling statutes because we don't like our history. Like I said there is no limit to STUPID!

I'm grateful to have had a marriage that endured, and am not so smug as to imagine that he or I couldn't have erred in our life partner choice. I saw it happen to plenty of starry-eyed couples who were as in love and apparently well-matched as we were.

I don't judge people who choose to divorce, nor would I ever want to make it more difficult for people to legally split up. None of the many divorced people I've known took their divorces casually. It is nearly always an emotionally wrenching process.

How many of us knew couples who remained in miserable marriages, wasting their opportunities for happiness because of a piece of paper and the judgment of others?

I agree, Packer, the whole politically correct thing has a way of stifling many.

You should hear my husband go off on issues such as this, phew. I mean he really digs-in and says what's on his mind.

The roots of my distain for today's generation and their ways runs as deep as it does far and wide. I have no issue with people seeking a justified divorce, though today's chronic divorce rates tell me differently.

I would venture to guess that a good number of todays divorces are the result of younger people entering marriages who lack the maturity needed to hold proper relationships down, and many are getting married for all the wrong reasons, i.e., money... materialistic holdings/possessions.

In addition to, outlandish ideals and fairytale visions (I can only assume) have clouded today's generation of failed and failing marriages.

We don't have to strain hard to observe the nauseating performance that the stars of Hollywood so proudly put out there for all to see, with their here today and gone tomorrow, disposable fling ideals, where nothing and nobody means nothing, which IMO, has helped cultivate a new wave of thinking among today's generation of common everyday folk.
 
I'm not sure. but I think the item about CBS and Buggs was on that show, "What History Forgot". I do know that the cartoons were heavily censored by all the networks. There doesn't seem to be any reasoning between what was accept by one network, and removed by another.

You can use your guitar to hide the front, and a fluffy cotton tail to hide the back! :giggle:

Thanks Marg. I was concerned that maybe I had spoken too soon and backed myself into a corner, leaving me pantless in the middle of winter. However, you thoughtful wisdom has provided me with a dignified way out.

BTW. Where did I get the idea about Bugs Bunny not being allowed on CBS, because he didn't wear pants.. I couldn't remember where I heard that. It come from a documentary about the TV show, "Match Game". " Dumb Dora was soo dumb........." They were always having problems with the network censors. One of the producer/writers was giving an interview about the fights he had with them. He said they wrote really gross, overly sexual questions, which the censors would go ballistic ove;, so they could sneak somewhat less sexy questions in. He made that statement.
