Why do we have too many jokers in the land? In this country, there are too many talking heads, even when they do not understand what they are talking about.

For a start, what are our national values? If they actually exist, how do all the funny creatures we have in leadership positions support or promote those national values with their conduct and mindless stealing?

So we really believe that the Big Brother show in one way or the other alters people's values, to the point of moral decadence, if there were actually good values in the first place? Any data to support such assertion?

Again, it's a very weak argument to place entertainment and education on the same level, both mean different things to people. Governments don't sponsor big brother show, so how does that stop them from funding education and research?

Is it really possible to legislate on morality? And how realistic is it to force everyone to watch only educational and religious programmes; what happened to individual's ability to pursue happiness or make choices?

This thing called democracy is really too sophisticated for our people to practise. And the more people want to spend energy, lecturing others on morality, the more you see how shallow they are.

muric might always be on the other side of the divide but on this I'm with them all the way.
concerning our criminal leaders that degraded our national values beyond reasonable, (like mentioned in the post,) I'm also of the believe that muric likewise go after them.
for if the leadership is of value and moral standard bb won't come to bare. so muric help us work on our leaders than threaten fellow citizens.

We need to decide on what laws we want to be governed by - religious or secular.

We can't in one breathe claim we practice democracy, and the next, want to dictate what people watch.

If I choose to watch X-rated content, why should anyone want to deprive me? In a secular country??
