LoGo banned in my house :(

Hey, different strokes.

Literally.

Mr Struck, I wasn't insinuating your life is any easier or harder than anyone else's.

Everyone's life has bumps and hurdles and that's what makes the journey so interesting. People die, friends get mixed up with the wrong sorts of people, and that's sad. We ALL have stories like this.

Some of us have lived in their cars. In the absence of a vehicle, some of us have actually lived in tents or even worse. There are members on this board that go to the food bank. There are members on this board that are homeless.

But yes, you think you deserve an explanation for getting a TV channel blocked. And most of the members here have answered your question. The answer is unless you are paying the bills, you don't get an explanation. Pay the bill already or live with the rather cushy existence you have. Or turn off the TV anyway. Read a book. Beat off. Look at more porn on the computer. If you are busy arguing with Mom because you are home all the time, volunteer somewhere. Offer to paint the living room. Clean the Garage. Take the old lady up the street to the Grocery Store. Whatever.

Good you are moving in May. In the meantime, I'm sure you can find something more constructive to do than argue with Mom. It never accomplishes anything productive anyway.

I'm actually rooting for you. I hope it all turns out well. We all deserve to vent now and then.

Logo TV sucks anyway. You're not missing anything.

But just for levity:

offtopic .. but I love the last line:
"Do it while you still know everything" .. genius

LoGo banned in my house

"gays are gross and I won't tolerate them in my house!"

Whose house is it?

I'm almost 26

If children don't move out around 20-21 years, something went wrong in the upbringing.

 

[Kennylingus]

He's already said a few times that he's in the process of moving out.

As for the problem of the OP, I *almost* had this problem when I was living with my parents... because *I* implemented the password on the cable decoder (my folk are not the most technically savvy persons...).

Yes it is her house, her rules etc, etc blah-dee-blah-dee-blah-blah-blah til your blue in the GD face. The point that I am trying to make that plenty of helpful JUB posters have already pointed out is that there is a myriad of trash content on her precious Dish Network box, and that the only reason is LoGo is being locked is because it is a queer channel.

Now take Sex and the City and or Desperate Housewives which is little more than a straight (female) version of Queer as Folk which contains about the same amount of smut and innuendo as QAF but it is tolerable in her eyes because it is heterosexual. From your repsonse I would gather that you assume that I am some kind of free-loading momma's boy who has nothing better to do than to lay in bed and cry over gay drama. The only reason that I am living with my folks at the moment is out of sheer necessity and because I absolutely have nowhere else to go, or believe me I would be out on my own instead of putting up with said bullshit. Of course maybe it is possible to snap your fingers and magically make a job appear out of nowhere and click your heels together to make a brand new car (or even a used car with decent mileage) appear out of nowhere but where I live there is zero opportunity.

Now perhaps you have never had the experience of dealing with intolerable people (such as intolerable parents) in your life and have had the pleasure of cruising through life through rose-colored lenses but things are not always as simple as you put it in your reply. And despite certain rules, etc I would expect family members to be fair and loving to one another and actually "listen" when their son has something to say instead of turning a deaf ear and hearing radio static. It seems to me that you did not quite understand my situation and merely wanted to "henpeck" at certain aspects and jibe about how I need to get over missing my "acoustic lesbian concerts" as you put it, well perhaps you may have lived a complete and perfect life free of itolerance, it still affects the rest of us who have family members who tread on us and treat us worse than used toilet paper because of our sexual preferences.

Like I said man,it's your moms house.She can block whatever she wants for whatever reason.Do I think it's not cool? Sure I do,but refer to the above statement whenever you run into conflict with her.

I'm trying to limit the amount of time I spend arguing with people,especially people in their 20's.I have a hard time figuring your generation out.Many of them seem so soft and are so readilly offended.

I'll just give you the Cliff Notes.I'm the 5th of 8 children.I was tossed out of the house at 15 for failure to eat pussy,went to live with my sister briefly,then lived with my Dad and Stepmom .At 17 I enlisted in the Army and was sent to drive a tank around Germany.The Army was a breeze compared to living with my violent mother..

I always got a kick out of some of the recruits that would break down and cry when the Drill Sergeants would scream at them.They never fazed me that much.Compared to my Ma,they were rank amatuers at cursing people out .I was always thinking,""is THAT all you got?"

Again,if it sucks at home that much,leave.Join the Navy,learn a trade and save up some money to ensure you don't have to live with her again and endure her remote control tyranny..
