PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

62. "RE: Really, why the demise of SO" |
Well said. It seems we live in an increasingly lowest common denominator world and it can be very frustrating. I wonder how many young women, if given a choice between $50,000 in plastic surgery and a $50,000 scholarship, would choose the schooling? Is it the way the world really is, or is it the way it is brought to us by the media? SO brought the show to us as a learning vehicle the first season and then changed it into a show that focused more on conflict among women than support between them. The powers that be really do think we are all a bunch of mindless drones that need to be talked down to. I once read about a study and separated children into two classrooms the higher achievers and the lower ones. They then gave the higher achievers more challenging work to do and the children in the other class were given things that were right at their supposed level of learning. In the end they thought the results proved what they wanted, that the smarter people did better when pushed and the less bright did better when given things for their ability, but what they did not realize was that they had the classrooms reversed. They had given the more difficult things to the kids with the lower scores on their achievement tests, and they did great! This proves to me that if one raises the bar for human beings we will rise to meet it and if they lower it we will sink and stay there. I sometimes believe that the powers that decide what we see on TV in LA believe we all live in dirty little houses and sit in our underpants and watch TV to the exclusion of the rest of our lives. They see themselves as the best and brightest who need to keep us idiots happy in our Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, dna testing, reactionary world. Give me some History Channel or BBC news, thank goodness for cable or there would be nothing to put on for noise before I go to bed. I enjoyed this show so much the first season and have watched it bottom out by the end of this one and I feel sad for it could have continued being....
